Chipotle servers become self aware August 29th 2027…
Oh sure, an extra cube of chicken? That’ll be 36 dollars
In order to destroy it’s enemies, Chipotle-Net gives everyone in China explosive diarrhea, prompting a nuclear response that destroys the US defense system.

For some reason I read “server” and pictured the humans behind the counter
I went to the taco truck by my house for a breakfast burrito the other day. They had jumped from $9 to $15.
40 years is optimistic.
The flick is 42 years old so…
Literally 1984

Chuds: “If porky wants a raise for no reason, it’s his right to make everything expensive. I don’t care we caved to all his demands, it’s his choice!”
breakfast burrito
Should be half the cost max of anything else
Your burrito truck has just realized they can fuck people and blame it on egg prices from a year ago
honestly I don’t criticize them too hard, we all got to get that bread. Just not gonna go there anymore.
Is “stupid” ableist?
Yes.Terms like stupid, dumb, moron, etc are directly linked to medical classifications based on eugenicist IQ scores.
Some are so removed from that context most people don’t know or care but I take it as a challenge to be more creative with insults.
context is the only thing that ever gave words meaning in the first place, by holding onto it when the vast majority has moved on you’re just reinforcing bigotry
Did you just not read the last part of my comment?
I don’t go around chastising people for using those terms personally, I was just answering a question.
I’m with you on the being more creative with insults angle as well. It’s good to get a bit poetic. Reducing it to intelligence also kinda lets the offending party off the hook.

Oh yeah for sure, I was on the bus when I typed that up but yes to elaborate more, it is reductive to dismiss awful people or ideas as simply a product of inferior intellect or cognitive malady.
Like I said, it’s more fun to be creative with our insults.
People that arent awful but consistently make baffling choices are tougher. Generally thinking of co-workers here. Just being totally off base on things that could be figured out with incredibly basic logic, stuff I could have figured out as a 10 year old. Defending ass backwards innefieciencies to the death. Having no mind for logistics or priorities but not letting others delegate for you. There are occasions where its like HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT ABLE TO FIGURE THIS OUT? Watch any episode of Kitchen Nightmares, this combination of arrogance and baffling incompetence isnt rare and i genuinely dont understand it in some situations. My chef thinks chickens predate eggs. And not just chicken eggs, he believes that evolution is cyclical. When it was just him and I when I came in one day where usually 2 other people are in and he leaves at the time, he didnt know what the deal was until he checked the schedule he made. He then went in to say one of my work homies has been scheduled for 5 that day ‘for some reason’. My brother in christ, you make the schedule.
Huh, learn something new everyday.
Is there a better word to use to insult people?
I try to be situational. Stupid as an insult to a person kinda removes some blame anyway, you’re saying they dont know any better, where often they do know better and dont care. Which is way worse. Depends on what you’re trying to get across ‘stupid’ is used for a wide variety of situations.
I’m personally a big fan of Chud
You just wait till I prove the existence of Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers and you’ll all be sorry
Ridiculous is one of my favorites as it gets right to the meat of it: “You are a person (or if not a person, object, concept etc.) deserving of ridicule.”
absurd. Way out there. So far gone. I also try to avoid words like crazy, nuts, and insane. Replacement: That’s wild. beyond the pale. yikes. But really it’s more important to just notice and try something else that fits in that area.
I often correct myself with wild when I catch myself typing out crazy.
One of my faves is imbecile, especially in Spanish. Does it have some super problematic history?
I can just see it now: imbecile was once the epithet used against the extremely poor racial victims of the ku klux klan
imbecile
quick googling and the AI summary I fucking hate but seems reliable enough here
a person who acts with extreme foolishness, stupidity, or a severe lack of good judgment
barring the inclusion of the afforementioned “stupid” this seems fine.
While used today as a casual insult, the term has historical roots as a formal clinical classification.
I’ll have to do further investigation but it might have the same baggage as those other terms.
I don’t know why it is so hard for some people (not you) to shed reactionary terminology. Either because they are too lazy to come up with something more clever or are defensive because they regularly use such terms.
Oh my god what the fuck, imbecile has more historical medical bullshit associated with it than fucking “stupid” but you’re giving it a (maybe) pass?
I wish i could just wake up and the people responsible for this discourse would disappear or at the very fucking least stop scolding people over commonly used language that they themselves are inconsistent with
Foolish stupid dumb oh one of these is fine! no, it isn’t, unless they all are.
Calm down bud. Nobody is scolding anyone here. Chill the fuck out.
Also you are right we should not use imbecile either. That is not a term I encounter frequently and not one I ever use.
This post speaks to my heart. Burritos are my absolute favorite food and it’s a goddamn travesty that I need to pay close to 16 FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A MOTHERFUCKING BURRO.
I now have to make this shit myself and it never fucking hits the same. I have to make my own tortilla, my own beans, my own salsa, literally everything to perfection just so I can have my favorite thing in the world. Nuclear apocalypse indicator for me. Guess I’ll just die now???
16 dollars? The burrito truck near me has beans and cheese for three dollars, and a loaded carne asada for $7 that prob weighs over a pound. I guess that’s about the only good thing about living in the south, access to cheap Mexican food.
I live in the north where mayo is considered spicy and chipotle is the only game in town
That sucks, I have had “Mexican food” in rural ohio and it was very upsetting.
I guess the silver lining with the whole global warming thing would be your area may eventually be warm enough for Hispanic people to immigrate to and help liberate you from a spiceless life.
New burrito place opened down the street from me. Tried it once never again. Got a bean burrito, it was the owner and he wrung it up before even making it. $16. I was willing to let him take the lead cause it’s his new place and he was trying to impress. Also I couldnt even see what ingredients were available so he just asked item by item and im sure he didnt go over everything. He also just did somw stuff I didnt ask for. Like putting nacho cheese sauce on it which I told him I didnt want cause vegan. I ended out with mostly rice, a tiny sprinkle of black beans. Mid af Pico and guacamole from a plastic single serve package. And sooooo much corn. It was mostly yellow in the cross section. A slightly further walk gets me a 3 bean burrito with minimal rice, homemade guac, and all the veggies I want and a fantastic Pico and its 9 damn dollars for a burrito that half is a meal for me and if I buy yhe bowl and scoop it into my own home tortilla can be my lunch before work for a week
Ngl that first burrito reads like a warcrime. Sprinkle of beans and nacho cheese? Wtf. This is him trying to impress?
Liquid nacho cheese has no place in a burrito. I can make a really good vegan queso but in a burrito? Maybe a taco, crispy shell and all. But that is anti burrito. Ive been cooking as a job since just before Obama got elected and at a new place if the owner wants to show his chops, hell yeah usually, if they really impress I’ll work for em part time for a few months until I learn their secrets, it means they get to not worry about the place for a couple days so my espionage tends to cut even. I learned some of my best stuff taking a job for a lebanese place where only one guy was working before cause I was his first customer and I told him I cook and already know my way around Lebanese food, I didnt know like this guy, I had a higher paying less fun gig but I was having fun and I wanted the place to stick aroind cause I wanted to be able to keep getting the food. If this was only a little bad I may have made a similar offer cause I could go for some extra cash but the fundamentals are so off base I would go full Gordon Ramsey, he was already obstinate to me as a customer giving me cheese when I said I was vegan. I got the vibe it was a business guy who is ‘passionate’ about food cause doing a bit of research he opened 2 locations at once which is a clear sign of more money thsn sense
make my own tortilla
No you don’t
??? Both corn and flour tortillas are incredibly easy to make at home.
And incredibly easy to buy if you’re already overwhelmed with making a burrito
Its really not that hard.
Are there any good tortillas you can buy at the grocery store? They all seem to suck ass.
