Nah I welcome polite/informative ranting, makes for an interesting time on here.

I think I continue to agree with you.

Personally, I subscribe (to my own personal theory) that we haven’t really biologically “evolved” since when we were living together in small/villages as tribes — effectively communes. We did not evolve to know everything about the entire world and have the problem-solving/logistical skills necessary to feed and help more than maybe 100 people (those that should live in our commune) lol

All that to say I think living on a commune with my fam and buddies would be pretty cool, so long as no tankies are there lol.

Fuuuuuuck Russia and all its sympathizers. I’m not educated enough to speak with authority on communism vs. capitalism, so I digress there.

No you’re right, I oversimplified and falsely associated the dictatorships that ruled under the guise of “Nah this is communism guys ITS FOR YOU”

Yep, my first account was made on the wrong instance and I was like “wtf is wrong with everyone here? Like I get corporations fuckin’ suck, but communism???”

They’re also HUGE babies and will claim -ism, -phobia, etc. by stretching the littlest thing.

Good point. It could be that! It could be both as well - Bella and the writers.

All I know is that one of the parties involved in Ellie’s portrayal messed with the formula and made it a lil worse than S1.

(っ˘ڡ˘ς) love u for this

Agree on all accounts. I got perma-banned for making fun of the conceptual average Reddit user. Now I’m here. That website is a hollow shell of what it once was.

As predicted, their stock going public INSTANTLY made the website 10x shittier. Bots, propaganda, karma-farming, tyrant power-tripping mods/admins, misinfo, and algorithmic front page is just too much.

Didn’t play the games so I have no reference, but I thought Season 1 was excellent! The third episode had me fuckin’ bawling my eyes out lol. I thought it was a stellar episode! Overall touching, wholesome, etc. The vibe Season 1 also seemed more “real” (in the event fungus zombies were to become real.).

Idk if/how much Season 2 was true to the game but I didn’t really enjoy it.

Bella’s acting fell flat imo, it seemed like she couldn’t shake being constantly awkward on screen. The story focus on Ellie’s gf’s pregnancy was weird and all of the dialogue surround it was pretty shit. I personally found it rather disjointed to have that one episode end in a stanky fingering scene — like they’d be so fuckin dirty bro, and are the characters supposed to be so naïve/ignorant that they don’t consider maybe the pregnant girl could get a very inconvenient UTI in a dangerous place? My girlfriend took personal issue with the makeup, hair, and clothing choices by the showrunners lol. It overall felt like the writers didn’t know what they wanted or what they were doing but felt as if they should shoehorn therapy-talk/themes in it at every corner.

I personally wished we got more zombies or story behind the militia group.

At a certain point, you’d essentially be feeding a super-staph infection the now useless antibiotics as a supplement for it to grow lmao.

Can’t poke holes in your logic there. It just feels like every day is mediocre and the world isn’t exactly conducive to positive change, whether on a large scale or smaller, personal scale.

Feels like proper in-person socialization has been obliterated in favor of Discord, TikTok, Insta, Reddit and of course, work, sleep, family. The internet used to be fun and interesting imo, when life sucked, it was an escape. Now it’s just anger, engagement bait, ads, bots, scams, etc., all centralized to a few shitty platforms.

I won’t be takin’ the long nap anytime soon unless something catastrophic happens lol, but damn it’d be nice to literally hibernate through this shit the world seems to be going through because I certainly seem entirely powerless to change it or myself for the better.

It was both a retail store and restaurant. Both sections were “Southern Hospitality” themed minus any confederate or hateful shit. Think biscuits and gravy, maybe some bluegrass, farmin’.

I went a decent amount with my fam as a child and I always found it cozy and interesting. Never been as an adult.

[Other Party]’s general population is totally upset about something [Our Party] thinks is good or even doesn’t give a fuck about!

We must be reactionary over the most trivial stupid shit and bicker and deflect from [List of Enormous Issues and Catastrophes], and create a new issue for everyone to point fingers about!

/s

Personally, I think it looks terrible and I’m a die-hard lefty/socialist/liberal whatever you wanna call me. I don’t eat there and don’t give a fuck about them, but this media attention over this “controversy” has pushed me to form an opinion on something I wouldn’t otherwise care about — and honestly if conservatives hate it, then fuck, I agree with them for once because it looks fuckin’ soulless and terrible lol.

Conservative backlash? Are we really putting all the apparent public distaste for the rebrand on the conservatives? I personally haven’t seen any conservatives or conservative-coded people complain at all; in fact, I thought the “outcry” (more like grumbling imo) was bipartisan and something that progressives and conservatives both disliked.

But again, I feel as though in a reaching effort to make conservatives look even worse than they already do, many democrats and associated talking heads are forcing this story that conservatives are so pissed about it.

I’m left as hell and voted for Harris so I hope that gives some perspective when I say that I also think the logo and overall brand look like tasteless, soulless corporate slop. It’s what all corps have done and will always do, simplify and dilute any individuality to appeal to the broadest possible market possible, and we shouldn’t applaud that.

IDGAF about Cracker Barrel and never eat there, and were it not for media pundits accusing conservatives of being pissed, I don’t think I ever would’ve known. That said, if it’s gonna be pushed in my face for brand awareness and marketing, then yea, it looks like shit and I want to eat there even less than before.

Congrats everyone, you’re falling for engagement bait and doing the advertising for Cracker Barrel for free.

The drivers for sure. I live in a major metropolitan area on the east coast and at the intersection of three jurisdictions.

My home state’s drivers are slow as molasses and geriatric or are obviously foreign and didn’t take U.S. driver’s ed.

Across the river is a bunch of sheltered drivers who I normally pity. Their city is usually walkable or transit-able so driving is not something you could even expect them to be good at.

And then there’s the adjacent state which is notoriously home to some of the worst drivers in the US who genuinely, routinely make me fear for my life when they’re in my proximity on the road lol. Hate those drivers.

Other than that, I think the culture of my home state is much warmer and friendly while the adjacent state is nice but the people are also a bit more standoffish and cold. Home state is a barren wasteland of awful roads and data centers, adjacent state has so much green space and well-developed communities.

As a Gen-Z young man in the US with both a B.S. and graduate/professional degree who is unemployed — I can corroborate. I usually ponder suicide and the point of it all at least once a week while applying to jobs and being a leach off my parents for financial support. Love em for that though. If I didn’t have their emotional and financial support, I’d probably just go ahead and take that long nap lol.
