@LukeAlmighty @rok0 Try ...it ends well I guess, but it's also super super sad

The entire show is depressing tho lol

Someone should make a database of movies and TV shows with a depressing ending, that always returns one random movie/Tv show, but with only 50 percent chance of it being from that database.

That way, you can watch a movie glued to your seat knowing, the chance of a good ending is not 99.7% but only 50%.

@realcaseyrollins @mwklein gradations of cringe doesn't matter after the point has been lost. they could call it "people-i-like-list and people-i-dont-like-list" and it wouldn't matter to me.

@lnxw37a2 @realcaseyrollins I had leftover outback fries in my fridge. The dogsitter was raving about them… 😋

also McDonald's fries are flavored with milk byproducts or something? They're not vegan in the US.

And if I'm being honest, I don't think they taste quite as good in Canada.

Just an FYI:

Here in SoCal, most chain fast food places have at least one veggie-based entree. With meatless burgers, tacos, burritos, "chicken", and so on. It is spreading rapidly here.

I would not be surprised if Outback and other such restaurants followed suit soon. Without changing much at all, they gain access to a customer segment that was formerly inaccessible.

Also, personal experience: the Incredible Whopper was not very good, but it really did taste like their regular Whopper. Del Taco's Beyond Beef tacos taste like their regular tacos, which also means they are not very good.

However, Carl's Jr (and I presume Hardees, which has the same owner) has Beyond Beef burgers that are pretty good.

I'll ask my 2nd and 3rd sons whether they see such products in their areas (Nebraska and Missouri). 1st son's diet precludes eating out at all, so I doubt he's paying attention.

I'm not a vegan (or a vegetarian of any kind), but I do try to buy the meatless products from time to time, so the option will remain for those who are vegetarian.

@shebang @Galena There are a few places with veggie burgers, most notably Burger King. But yeah, fast food isn't really the best vegan-friendly type of food. That's like going to Outback and being mad the food there ain't vegan either.

@shebang Isn't Wendy's entire gimmick pretending to have better meat than all the other fast food places? And tonnes of bacon on everything? Seems weird to go to a fast food joint all about meat then complain you don't eat meat.
Vegans should avoid fast food places in general - there's rarely any guarantee their non-meat products are actually vegan, due to potential cross contamination from things being cooked on the same grills. I think that's why they use terms like "plant based" or "veggie burger", instead of "vegetarian" or "vegan".

Actually, that gives me an idea. I wonder how successful a fast food place specializing in vegetarian and/or vegan food would be. It's a niche market, but it's not like non-vegans can't eat vegan meals.
