    That’s why you don’t cave to bullies. They’ll just ask for more and more. You will never win.

      doesn’t matter what you call it, collaborating with fascists must bring you to a fitting end

    In what kind of a country does the president intervene to changing the logo of a roadside fast food spot?

      My one and only experience with Cracker Barrel is, “Wow, this gift shop has a restaurant attached to it.”

        How much is that jiggly ladybug? It’s the only consistently cool thing in there, I had an ex that worked there forever so I spent a bit of time there waiting.

    If only there was some way to have nostalgia, but without the hate that comes along with it

      I’ve never seen a cracker barrel but I hate to see the “improvements” they made to the interior

    Lot of crybabies on this app. The removal of DEI flags and saving Uncle Herschel on the original logo is a win for consumers. Stop trying to appease the minority when they’re not even your customer base. I’d imagine half the users here have blue hair, piercings, white guilt, and pride flag bumper stickers. Touch grass.

      Boring straight white cisgendered man with regular hair and no facial piercings here: stop trying to normalize your shitty opinions by pretending like everyone thinks them. We don’t.

        Same demographic here. Suuuuper traditional looking. Single earner for my family, wife is a stay at home mom and very involved with the elementary school, and my husky bearded self was outside all day building shit with power tools and tending to my animals.

        And fuck all that judgey hateful angry negative bullshit.

        Touch grass, he says? So tolerating the existence of blue-haired libruls is an internet recluse thing and getting out there in the real world will set you straight?

        When is the last time you touched corn stalks? Pet a dog? Pet a dog-sized fish or turtle? Sprayed yourself with a hose to cool off? Stared at the clouds? Gazed at the stars? Played with a child or an animal? Cared for others?

        It’s funny, you know. I remember a time when I would have answered like you. But the more stuff I learn, the more people I meet, and the more I listen to voices on the left & right while observing their actions, the more the blue-haired trans lesbians seem like me and the more voices like yours (including decades of experience with the trumpy parts of my extended family) are not just off-putting but kinda disappointing and sad.

        Boring straight white cis man here, except with a piercing. I agree with other straight white man that your opinion is shitty. And I was just thinking this week that I should get some pride bumper stickers to support my friends.

      Eh… You won’t catch many people with this. You spelled all your words correctly. You used the Oxford comma. 5/10.

      If you want to come off as a properly ignorant bigot, lose the punctuation and capitalize random shit. You also need to say woke at least twice.

      I am definitely the type of person you’re trying to describe here and I’m honestly just insulted you think I’d own a car. I cycle everywhere, thank you.

      I do have a bunch of Pride stickers on my bike though, ya got me there!

      a win for consumers

      Price inflation at restaurants continues apace, bro. But sure, they’re back to the Paper Bag Test for assistant manager promotion, so I guess the consumer is winning.

      Enjoy your prize.
