Conservatives are fucking dumb

EDIT: this stinks of Fox News outrage. Goes to show how their viewer are so easily led.

I have moments where I think I’m surprised that something stupid matters to people, then I remember how stupid some people are. Thank goodness conservatives are such active participants in the things that matter most

how stupid

There's that, and there is also a massive ecosystem of griftfluencers endlessly manufacturing outrage and pumping it straight into millions of anger addicts, every hour of every day, from Fox News at the top, all the way down to Uncle Jeff on Facebook. The need to get high short-circuits intelligence every time.

Bland logo? Not okay. Bland food? Totally fine.

it's been a spell since I've been to the US but the only thing I remember about Cracker Barrel is the triangle/golf tee game they had at the tables. The food? I don't remember anything about the food or what I even ate. but that game? I was all over it.

I actually preferred Bob Evans breakfasts. I remember as a kid whenever my family visited the states I would insist we go to Bob Evans for breakfast.

I'm sorry, but I've never seen an opinion be wrong before.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

this was 30+ years ago, I've never been to one since then so I'm very sure it's changed.

Imagine caring that much about a corporate logo. Weirdos.

After a bunch of free advertising, what a shocker!

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Are there people who would be likely to go to Cracker Barrel out there who didn't know about Cracker Barrel already?

The stock price sure seems to think so. Reality may be different, but the shareholders are happy.

I didn't give a shit when they changed it, and I still don't.

I guess it’s easy to win a culture war where you’re the only belligerent
