Y’all seen the new Bears Who Love Shitting commercial where they tell you to inspect your kid’s asshole for traces of inferior toilet paper?

Sarah Winchester wasn’t haunted by anything but this joke.

Look, “amenities” for us is bathroom doors that don’t allow someone to watch you poop (for free). We don’t even hope for clean. Perhaps an interesting filth that we can record and show our friends.

At least in my experience, it’s just a novelty, like a mall with a roller coaster inside. I have a Bucc-ees full body swimsuit because my wife looked at them and physically recoiled because of how tacky they are (I went back alone to get one and surprised her when we went swimming). They have branded 1/4 lb “chocolate” disks with the horrible skin-beaver imprinted on them. They sell “beaver nuggets” that are something like Corn Pops and Cheetos had a baby, but drier. They have a jerky counter (somehow more expensive than regular jerky, never tried it), a fudge counter (lots of flavors, pretty sure I tried it, but it left no impression), and grab and go barbecue sandwiches (the brisket’s more fat than meat, but the rest are decent). I have no complaints about the hot (temperature) candied nuts. I actually don’t think I can get those anywhere else nearby. Then there’s a kitschy home goods section and a clothing department that sells things with the skin-beaver printed on them. That’s about it.

It’s a bit like Disney opened a gas station, but worse (They should. Some people would kill for access to Dole Whip). It was absolutely packed at first, but not now, as far as I can tell. I think the rarity is the selling point, and people will stop caring as they expand.

I remember when Buc-ees came to my state and everyone went “Hell, yeah, I’ll work at a gas station for $22/hr!” Pretty soon, word got around that you’re not even supposed to sit on your breaks. The people enthusiastically screaming “Fresh brisket on the board!!” Rapidly gave way to a tone that said “I am contractually obligated to say ‘Fresh brisket on the board’ at an at least mildly elevated volume.”

Still, I’m surprised by this story. The pay made a hell of a first impression, and the sitting thing made me think some kind of weird religious kink, but overtly political messaging was not something I expected. I’m just so used to “Fuckin’ burger-flippers want $15 an hour, you b’lieve ‘at?!” that Republicans never crossed my mind.

You will put tomato’s, onion, and cheese on them

You mean you want your hash browns spanked, choked, and gagged?

Customer? Dollar General or Walmart. The employees are the fighters at most of these places.

Megaman Zero, so I’m awesome, but fucked.

For the same reason they crowdfunded The Hole.

The first time somebody says “I like your shirt” about one you made is really validating.

Think it’s going to be the girl that follows him around lately?

Same thing happened in GA. Trump just moved on and endorsed the one that beat his pick.

I think too many sites run on Google AdSense (if it’s even still called that) for that to be a problem. If they give up on Google, there’s not much point.

Plus there are podcasts that use those subs for content, so people submit their “creative” writing to see if they can get featured.

Nothing is unlockable with the right epoxy.

Oh, not leaks. He hates those.

Immediate cessation of operations for data centers that lower the quality of life in their area until they’re compliant with local ordinances and jail time for the individuals that cause the problem. That last part’s probably never going to happen, but I want it for every business, not just data centers.

“We built more turbines than we have permits for.” Shut down until they’re removed.

Somehow added two unpermitted and unmonitored water connections?! SOMEBODY installed that shit without checking permits and needs to be in jail. Both the installer and the person who hired them.

I don’t believe it solves a problem, and I believe that it will make things worse. It’s as good as an asbestos installation tax, and I believe that allowing the government to siphon money off the endeavor just makes it even less likely that they’ll do anything to stop the damage in the future.

I didn’t say that.

Which will really help with the stealing the electricity and water problem.

I feel like I’m going to have to use an app if I stay on lemmy, because in the browser version, half of the external links just take me to a black page.
