Can't get that sweet sweet ad revenue if your content isn't 100% in line with advertising expectations. God forbid there are any deviants on a site that positioned itself as weird and quirky for the first decade of its existence.
Almost as dumb as Nintendo patenting the concept of a sanity meter and then not fucking doing anything with it since Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
"Next time, baby."
I will never not laugh my ass off thinking about that.
Yeah, I don't think there's a restaurant on Alberta that doesn't have at least a little of this aesthetic.
That said, Pine State is worth the asking price and I'll kill on that hill.
But it'll never happen because it's bad for rich people.
In a capitalist hellscape, any amount of damage is damaged beyond all hope because everyone is completely interchangeable, and ultimately, disposable.
So, y'know, you're not wrong.
At the time?

I was going to make a crack about them inventing a time machine to get Big Macs from like 20 years ago, but I actually kind of wish they'd bring back the angus 1/3rd pounder, those burgers were great.
It was a running joke at Uni that Engineering was pre-business.

WTF I picked up a finance textbook and now I'm in debt for like eighty billion dollars?! And I have to buy the online portal code separately!? What a rip-off!
It's a very efficient system.

They're efficient at maximizing profits for shareholders, usually at the dire expense of literally everyone else.
Even then, it's still just trying to duplicate the environment that I create for myself at home, and I know where that exists already.
Oh thank god, I was worried brows would continue to remain unfurrowed.
The devil's advocate in me says that dealers often cut drugs with formula so there's at least one other reason to keep it locked, but I don't know how well that statement holds up under scrutiny, because it's not like they check to see if you actually have a baby when you buy formula, and it's probably not worth the risk to steal it as opposed to just buying it with the kind of return you'd get from diluting your product.
And yeah, I see razor blades, shampoo, and fucking laundry soap under lock and key in stores all the time. Nobody's cutting drugs with any of those. Shit's getting real fucked up.
In a short story, the monkey's paw is an artifact that grants three wishes of the person who holds it, albeit in the worst way possible.
The story goes that a pensioner and his wife receive the paw from some guy who warns them that the paw twists the wishes, but they pay the warning no mind and wish for a sum of money. A finger on the paw curls, and a factory foreman shows up with the money explaining that their son has died of a horrific mutilating accident in the factory. The insurance policy pays the money out to the surviving members of the family.
The wife wishes that their son were alive again, another finger curls, and a few hours later they hear another knock at the door. The wife rushes to welcome their son, however, recalling the stranger's warning and imagining how terrifying the mutilated body of their son might look, the father uses the last finger to wish the son dead and buried again. Incidentally, there doesn't appear to be a negative on that wish apart from the horror that's already been visited on them.
