I'm a tech guy. I dont mind the occasional redistribution of wealth from corporations. I can even appreciate exploits found in the wild like this or doing hacking when it doesn't hurt people.
What this signals, though, is that you are cheap. I side with the girl on this. It's a date. Pay for the meal and show her you can be normal first.
Or donate the value of the meal to her favorite charity
Ok McDonald's
Yah this isn't something you break out on the first date, you really have to get to know the person and learn what their social views and politics are before you try to "subvert capitalism at the nearest mcdonalds."
I mean, good tho that he learned early. It's just too bad he's going to get a billion messages asking how to do this trick exactly and McDonalds Corporation will have to patch their kiosks.
We can't have nice things.
If this is the kind of thing he likes doing he should absolutely do it on the first date and find out they're not compatible right away instead of wasting time on someone that thinks he's weird. Why delay the inevitable?
On the first date literally everything "not normal behaviour" is somewhat "dangerous". You're looking out for red flags and don't hesitate to end everything before it begins. Instead of conversations about why someone did something it usually just ends, so the time he does this is devinetively something. In a relationship he probably would have gotten the possibility to explain himself.
Man, y'all are no fun if you think something silly like using a few emulators to take advantage of McDonald's new account offers is so "not normal" that it constitutes being "dangerous"
Yea, dangerous is a bit far. It's dumb as fuck for a first date tho just based on it being McDonald's. Who in their right mind makes McDonald's a date at all, let alone add in multiple fuckin emulators just to get a bunch of shitty, stale nuggets.
Sure, I guess. I still think the reaction in some of these threads is pretty extreme for a meme post in a meme community, especially since the original meme doesn't even make it clear if this was for a date at all.
Yes, he was trying to come off as a cool hacker, but that's not why she's brushing him off.
It's because he said "I'm in."
Conversely, this is a great way to filter out normals who want to pay a corporation to prove how rich they are. You just gotta be yourself and you'll get the person that's right for you.
Yepp... great Filter.
"Hey, wanna come up to see my 3D printer" worked for me.
If they know about the Great Filter, that's a green flag.

Split the check. It's 2024.
How is it still expected for men to pay in this day and age. When I'm on a date I'm looking for an equal partner, not a dependent.
IME it hasn't been expected in some time, at least from me. If I invite someone out on a date, I'm usually offering, but I've definitely had many split checks and a few that paid for the whole thing.
Me, disabled and just wanting someone to be with: side eye
Yea wow women are so equal in this game and have to chase men suddenly it's so 2024 wow that it's like that ever or has ever been
Pay for your own food you bum
I always do?
Eh, I dunno why everyone is so negative about this. A knowledgeable person, free food, and (I suppose the critical point) I'm into this stuff too, so fuck yeah let's go. And whipping out that knowledge boner on the first go? Shit, setting the bar kinda high. What's in store for next time, gonna joyride in a new car after you take control of it remotely? Oh just take me now, I'm ready~.
Just gotta remember to torch it after, evidence is a bitch. Or so I've heard. Ehem. Anyway... nuggets, not a big deal, but knowledge is sexy af.
Besides. Fucking mcnuggets?
No, they're for eating.
Questionable date food, but otherwise they're fine.
Gonna need a normal emulator…
