This absolutely wild post from Nextdoor went viral:
So, a couple possibilities, assuming this is a real post. Maybe this guy just needed some extra cash and took on an extra job. No shame in that. Millions of Americans do the same thing. But maybe spare everyone the bullshit about you doing this to "save the economy".
Based on my experience in the online marketing world, I could also see this being a Wendy's sock puppet account spreading corporate propaganda. Why not try and fill some shifts with dummies who buy into the "nobody wants to work" bullshit they see on the news? Beats filling shifts by raising wages and improving working conditions.
It also might be a totally sincere post. Nextdoor is probably more cursed than Facebook or Twitter, so it's totally on brand. This guy with a "professional career" will work at Wendy's for a week or two, quit after the first abusive customer tears into him, and then spend the rest of his life telling anyone who will listen that workers in the service sector deserve to make poverty wages because their jobs are so easy.

Parker Bowles caught in the line of fire when Biden passes gas?
Apparently, the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles, has been telling anyone who will listen about U.S. President Joe Biden letting out a long, loud fart while speaking to her at the COP26 summit.
An “informed” source told the Daily Mail that Bowles and the 78-year-old Biden were chatting at the global climate change gathering in Scotland last week when the president let it rip.
“It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,” the source told the Daily Mail . “Camilla hasn’t stopped talking about it.”

Considering how far Biden had to travel to have that conversation......could we classify that as global warming? Methane is a problem whether it comes from Biden or cows as I understand it.

I love those socially awkward fart moments where everyone is trying to ignore what just happened..... as long as one can make a quick get away if it's a stinker.

Trump never listened to his handlers, so we got to see hilarious old man moments on a daily basis. But they've been keeping Biden locked down too much. C’mon, man...Ripping ass on a bunch of British pedophiles? That fucking owns. More of this please!
Not only that, but according to Italian tabloids, Joe's meeting with Pope Francis was cut hours short because he literally pooped his pants at the Vatican.
Even if that isn't true, it was still an amazing meeting. Joe told the Vicar of Christ one of his old man baseball stories about Satchel Paige. And it was just as long and meandering as a story from your grandpa, only with the added awkwardness of needing to stop for an interpreter every few seconds.
Listen, jack. There’s a few advantages to living in a dying, decaying empire. One of them is exclusively having leaders with dying brains and decaying bodies who do hilarious old man gaffes.
