They are serving up a shit milkshake, but, hey, at least they gave us a straw.
That’s a wooden stir stick, son.
It’s a paper straw
Fuck paper straws. Useless if you want the drink to last more than 2 minutes.
Unless I’m taking a drink with me in the car I don’t even get a straw. I’m able to successfully navigate myself through drinking from a cup straw-less at home. Never understood why it was such a necessity at restaurants.
They’re really useful if you’re wearing lipstick. Also some people with disabilities need them.
I got a set of stainless steel straws when my area stopped using plastic straws, and it’s always great whenever I actually remember to use it.
Idk man, Im not saying this to get into a flame war or anything but you’re just having a snowflake take. I’ve never had issues with my paper straws while I’m eating. They last more than long enough for my slow ass to finish eating and sipping while talking and vibing with whoever I’m eating with.
They come in several levels of quality. Some of them are fine. Others disintegrate.
I think this is the difference between slow eating and slow drinking, when im driving for work my drink generally lasts about an hour minimum. The straws will break down by the time its running low.
Aw man maybe I’m just having crap straws. I usually have a milkshake at mcd and half way through the straw will collapse at both ends making it useless
I haven’t had a McDonald’s milkshake in 30 years but I remember the plastic straws collapsed at both ends back then.
I think your mcDonald’s is fucking up. I bought one maybe 3 months ago and it just had a spoon and regular straw. Paper straw for anything thicker than regular liquid is just brain dead.
The opposite headline would have been more true. This ruling DOES disenfranchise those very same voters for state and local elections.
They won’t get to vote on little things like who draws the voting districts, who runs the elections, who certifies (or refuses to certify) the elections. Same for who decides on school book bans, policing priorities, medicaid expansion, or mask bans.
This may be a smaller loss than expected, but painting it as a win is disingenuous.
The idea that Arizona would have"federal only" voters because they refuse to just let people vote for state races according to federal rules is so fucking stupid. Talk about creating a bureaucratic mess for no gain to the citizenry!
Not just no gain, but detriment even!
But if they just let everyone vote, they wouldn’t hold power anymore.
Won’t somebody please think of the politicians?
And the evidence of non-citizens voting in U.S. elections in any sort of sizable number is still nil.
Yeah, in person voter fraud has happened perhaps a dozen times in the last 50 years and afair it was Republicans trying to vote twice all but two of those times and people knowingly ineligible trying to vote exactly 0 times.
It’s entirely about suppressing POC voters.
Unless you count the votes for Republicans that come from the dead. Although that still isn’t a sizable number.

I’m very surprised.
…for now
The Extreme Court sees their time is coming to an end so most of them decided not to go full fascist on the ruling.
. . . this time.
Color me surprised
An expert witness who testified in the RNC case estimated that “approximately one-third of a [percent] of non-Hispanic White voters [in Arizona] are Federal-Only Voters, while a little more than two-thirds of a percent of minority voters are Federal-Only Voters.” So the universe of voters who registered using the federal form isn’t that large, but it is disproportionately non-white, which likely explains the GOP’s interest in this case — among other things, Republicans wanted to prevent these federal-only voters from casting a vote for president.
In 2020, President Joe Biden lost white Arizona voters, but very narrowly won the state due to his strong performance among Latinos. Biden’s margin of victory was only about three-tenths of a percent, so even a small shift in who was allowed to vote in Arizona might have changed the result.
I can’t parse this. They can’t possibly be saying 0.33% of non-Hispanic white voters are federal only.
That is exactly what they are saying.
They know if the democrats get a majority and the white house they are looking at a rough time continuing their grift.
They really grabbed us by the Purcell.
I kinda feel like some of the SCOTUS justices maybe suddenly see how far away they are from the American People.
SCOTUS just setting the table with Trumps plan to not certify results in swing states so the decision of the next president lands in their lap.
