Wow! Some of the people here are really angry. Why so much hate? Yes, what the women did was not the best example of her religion, but I still respect the religion and their people. It is easy to get angry at the certain religion due to the activists. But the hate on this thread is: wow. I don't see why this makes everyone so angry. It's annoying, but no reason to attack people.

 

i don't know why? maybe because the increase of that religion in their own countries is destabilizing the social order. there are no go zones across western europe where native europeans can't go for fear of being attacked. nothing good ever happens where ever islam goes.

Miss Piggy: Why should I?
Max Krassman: Because in 10 seconds, he won't know *you* from kosher bacon.

It is clear the customer did something other than order Bacon that made him shout what he did, would be interesting to see the before events.  Either way KFC took the customer is always right attitude and suspended the employee

 

From the video its seems that the customer just asked for bacon and the guy flipped out, hence why the other employee says there is no bacon. Also we don't know if KFC suspended the employee the person who quoted me earlier was clearly making up stuff because he didn't even know what retail chain it happened in.

Out of interest, how many of you are offended by dog-meat restaurants?

 

If i was in a country that routinely and traditionally eats dog meat then i'd both not be and also have no right to be offended by it.

 

The amount of western travelers to countries that serve dog meat is huge, but i've never seen any news about them throwing their toys out of the pram about it.

It started with a post from one woman who wrote that the sign was insensitive to those who do not consume pork. She said as a vegan living in a Muslim household she is personally offended by it.

 

I prefer not to read anything from jihadwatch as it is heavily biased.

 

The above quote was taken from the source. It did not say that the woman is a Muslim, but living in a Muslim household. Who knows, maybe she is renting a room there and gets food there.

^ On the few occasions where I've spent more than a couple of weeks in another country, I've always made it a point to make sure I'm not doing anything against local laws & customs in public places.  That included, when I lived in Florida for 6 months back in the 80's, letting my neighbours drag me to their local church because, well, everyone went to church!

 

I didn't kick up a fuss, and I saw no point in telling them I was an atheist.  It cost me nothing to sing a couple of songs, and it made my friends there happy.  They just wanted to include me in their community, and that was nice. :)

 

^^^ This post should be pinned at the top of the forum for all future and past discussions on similar topics, as it is just so damn spot on

From the video its seems that the customer just asked for bacon and the guy flipped out, hence why the other employee says there is no bacon. Also we don't know if KFC suspended the employee the person who quoted me earlier was clearly making up stuff because he didn't even know what retail chain it happened in.

 

The guy was clearly unfit for a job in fast food. He could have calmly replied that they do not sell bacon.

He's pretty lucky because if he'd tried that in my home town the customer would have leapt the counter and taught him a valuable life lesson.

You need to read the whole story from a better placed source than the one OP posted. The restaurant placed those ads in the woman's neighbourhood, if you read the reports and the Facebook pages there were more from her neighbourhood that objected to the placing of the ad, some of them were patrons of the restaurant.  You do the math. 

 

 

I guess if she lives in a neighborhood she can dictate what advertising takes place there? Was the ad racist? Sexist? Graphically violent? No. They would all be valid reasons to object, her superstitious view on pork is not.

 

Just so everyone is clear, this is the offending sign:

That's it. Poor women must have been shaken to the core when she saw this ghastly affront to her world view. :rolleyes:

When I lived in China, I would see dog meat in the grocery store fairly often. There's nothing to get offended about. It's a different country/culture.

 

I lived there on and off for 8 years, and there were plenty of things that I saw that I didn't like. Not once did I throw a hissy fit and demand them to change things to accommodate me. It blows my mind that people have the audacity to do that here, and even more so that we accommodate them instead of telling them to STFU and go back to their country if they don't like the way we do things here.

there should been study to show which group that loves to throw hissy fit, just because it "offend" their superstitious belief,

and i curious other than muslims is there any groups that would rival them?

They need a group to counter ISIS. They can call it PORK. People Opposing Religious Killers.

 

Capture them and force them to eat bacon.

I dont eat pork - the sign wouldnt bother me at all - just like a sign for women's hygeine products - it simply doesnt apply to me.

Can you imagine what would happen if some non-muslim went to some muslim country and started complaining ?

She doesn't say anything in the video, she never calls him a bitch. The muslim guy behind the counter who goes nuts is the one who calls her a bitch.

 

Its interesting that you have found many reports about how this happened and even one from Subway that says that the customer harassed their employee but they still had to suspend the employee to cover their asses considering this happened in a KFC fast food outlet rather than a Subway...

 

Not sure why you think Subway is part of the muslim fast food outlets, its actually from the US and so is KFC which is where the video actually took place. (Did you even watch the video?)

 

 

Not sure if you bothered to pay attention to video at all because the angry clearly said "who you calling a bitch," I can only assume you have a problem with some who is Muslim or you would not back up the crazy lady who felt the need to record a argument that she started half way.

 

 

It is interesting how short sighted you are when there is clearly two sides of the story but media like FOX News felt to report half ass which is typical when it comes from Conservative news.

He says "Don't record me bitch, don't ######ing record me", I think you need to clean out your ears, he never said 'who you calling a bitch'.

 

The video was never on FOX news, its a video a youtuber posted to their channel when a friend of theirs got harassed by a KFC employee when she asked for bacon on a chicken burger.

 

Obviously there is always going to be two sides to a story and I'm going to believe the side that has video footage, not the side that gets even angrier when they are being recorded.

    • Google Meet brings Gemini note-taking to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google Meet brings Gemini note-taking to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers by Karthik Mudaliar Google's Gemini-powered "Take notes for me" feature inside Google Meet is now available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. The features work on Google Meet for web as well as on mobile, and Google says that subscribers can use it for meetings they host in many supported languages. As the name suggests, "Take notes for me" allows Gemini to listen to a meeting, generate a summary, identify action items, and save the notes as a Google Doc in the user’s Drive. After the meeting, the organizer receives an email recap with the summary and action items, while the notes can also be attached to the related Calendar event depending on the meeting setup and sharing settings. The feature isn't automatically turned on for everyone, though. Google says that all meeting participants are notified when note-taking is turned on, and users can start it from the pencil icon in Meet or enable it for future calls through Meet’s meeting records settings. For work or school accounts, administrators can also control whether the feature is available and may require explicit participant consent for note-taking, recording, or transcription features. The feature first launched back in 2024, when it was available just for selected Workspace users. Over the years, Google added refinements and more options, including the ability to enable it when scheduling meetings via Google Calendar. Google's support docs say that the feature currently supports English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, but only one language at a time. Meetings with multiple spoken languages are not currently supported, and Google recommends using the tool for meetings between 15 minutes and eight hours. The new feature makes Google Meet closer to its rivals that have AI tools already built in. Microsoft Teams has recently started offering Copilot and intelligent recap features that summarize meetings, surface highlights, and help with follow-ups, while Zoom’s AI Companion can also generate meeting summaries from desktop and mobile meetings.

If qof_book_destroy is called on a QofBook* freshly created with qof_book_new (usually because it was used to create a session that now must be destroyed) it would try to empty the non-existent hash tables, crashing.

    • Microsoft finally launches WSL Containers in public preview

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Microsoft finally launches WSL Containers in public preview by David Uzondu Microsoft has announced that WSL containers, a feature that allows developers to run Linux containers natively inside Windows without the need for Docker Desktop, is now available in public preview several weeks after Microsoft previewed it at Build 2026. To use the new container feature, you first have to install the latest pre-release version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux by running a quick update command in your terminal: wsl --update --pre-release After installing, you'd get access to the new Linux container CLI (wslc.exe) and the programmable API. Microsoft said that the CLI has a "familiar format" that matches the toolsets developers already use every day. If you know standard Docker commands, your muscle memory will translate directly to wslc.exe, which even features a built-in alias called container.exe. You can quickly run a full Ubuntu KDE desktop container by exposing ports, or pass your graphics card straight into a machine learning environment to run PyTorch workloads. Passing the --gpus all flag inside the run command instantly links your hardware. Image via Microsoft As for the API, developers can now embed Linux container operations directly inside native Windows applications without exposing the command line to users. The team integrated the API directly into MSBuild and CMake, so developers can define container steps directly in project files. Apart from bringing the CLI and API into public preview, Microsoft also said that it's working on a new default file system called virtiofs to speed up file transfer rates between Windows and Linux. Microsoft also introduced an experimental networking mode named consomme, which resolves compatibility issues with corporate VPNs by routing Linux network traffic straight through Windows. One thing to note about WSL containers is that they don't run in your standard WSL distributions; instead, every application and CLI session spawns its own lightweight Hyper-V utility VM in the background. This basically reduces the chances of one app snooping on the container of another app.
    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By seeprime · Posted

      I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
