Cuz he was white. 

Agreed, and no one was spewing "outrage!!!111" when he was compared to one.

On a similar line, I think GW Bush absolutely looks like a chimp. I don't see how you couldn't see that - and how it could be offensive to observe it. 

On behalf of simians everywhere, I am outraged that someone would compare lovely, wonderful apes to ugly, evil obamas.

that is all.

Its worked well for people like Zukerburg... ( and most others that size )

 you shut down every differing opinion as hate speech? Do it. Run your own. See how popular it is. Let the MARKET decide. 

I love *that* too. Right?!? You want an authoritarian, fascist, far Left Citadel where you shut down every differing opinion as hate speech? Do it. Run your own. See how popular it is. Let the MARKET decide. 

Citadel is so PURE in that way. It is why I wouldn't back down on "wallofhate.com" It wasn't a neo-nazi hate site. It got flagged as that. But what it was was an ALTERNATIVE to Facebook. The idea was evidently too radical - at least at the time. Maybe it would do better today with the push against DEI. But Citadel gives you the opportunity to run a site with possibly unpopular ideas and let the public decide. 

Citadel is anarchy. Do what you will. It always has been. In 1987 - that made me one of the most popular Citadels on the West Coast. In 2018... it made me a pariah. :D

I don't even know where to post this. ThAnywhere but in the "Food" room, I guess.

So it turns out that the way they get lab grown meat to grow, without aging like normal cell division does, is to use cells that don't shrink their telomeres when they multiply.

That's right: CANCER CELLS.

Lab grown meat is made using cancer cells. I wish I was making this up.

Depending on what you were arguing about, his being a veteran might actually be relevant.

Don't you hate it when some jerk is arguing with you online, you don't agree with him and he reveals he's a veteran to try to make his opinion sound superior and when you don't relent he accuses you of hating the military or hating vets when the only thing you hate is his bs?

The nest is harmless. It's the insects who live there which you have to worry about.

Even better - leave the attractant in place and satisfy your murderous predator instinct.  Feels good.

Thanks.  

YES!  This is quite a hilarious backstory.  Basically, when KFC-JP had a genius CEO (I think he was CEO) they decided to make an ad campaign that describes Americans as enjoying a bucket of KFC and a cake.  Just like what happened with Coca-Cola and the Christmas Polar Bears, it became a cultural thing.  Someone who didn't explain it purely from memory can probably explain it better, so here's a link to an article about it: https://theculturetrip.com/asia/japan/articles/why-does-japan-eat-kfc-at-christmas/

KFC pretty much only hangs on in retirement communities in the
West. 

And in Asia. They are going gangbusters over there. KFC has more restaurants in China than in the US, and more restaurants-per-capita in Japan than anywhere else by far.

In Japan, eating KFC on Christmas is a big tradition. I don't know why.

As far as I'm concerned they can keep them. They've declined, a lot.

We have plenty of them around here.   I drive past them often, but rarely go, as they quality has gone down hill ( as i was mentioning ) 

Tue Apr 12 2022 06:32:06 PM EDT from ParanoidDelusions

KFC pretty much only hangs on in retirement communities in the West. 

I'd say Caines and Chick-Fil-A more directly compete with one another. Neither actually serves chicken PARTS... like a drumstick, wing and thigh box with sides. 

They're both more "chicken strips, nuggets and sandwich" places. 

Popeyes has seafood options. 

KFC pretty much only hangs on in retirement communities in the West. 

I've never heard that about the distribution centers. I mean... I suppose ultimately a member of the family may be responsible for each region - but I doubt they're directly overseeing all day-to-day operations on site, even at the DCs. 


Popeye's is pretty ghetto. They've got a reputation for the cashiers assaulting customers - that isn't undeserved. I see them as very different than Chick-Fil-A - and more in competition with KFC. They have a spicy menu that has good heat for a fast food place, where usually spicy is pretty damn mild - and they offer packets of Louisiana hot sauce - basically tabasco - but with a smoky flavor - so you can easily dial the heat up on their sides. For example, I'll drop 2 to 4 packets of tabasco into my red beans and rice - where Tabasco has a "drop will do you" motto that most people find accurate. Heat has become like horsepower though - with people chasing insane scoville scores on their hot sauces. I have an upper limit. If it makes me feel like my thro

Sat Mar 26 2022 15:26:26 EDT from IGnatius T Foobar

This is correct, and what I recall hearing is that they only allow family members to run the DCs. So it's possible that someone finally went out to the midwest.

I don't know how they'd do in the northeast, but I'd sure like to have one here. Sooooooo good. Without a doubt my favorite fast food burger chain, and I can't get it here.

We have a Popeye's right here in town. I know the Popeye's vs Chick-Fil-A thing is supposed to be a rivalry, but I like them both. I don't know if I'd call the Popeye's flavors "spicy" so much as "highly seasoned." My daughter likes her food plain plain plain, but she gobbles down Popeye's chicken and cajun fries.

I 'think' i went to a Popeye's once some 25 years ago with a GF, and i think it was spicy..  but i know that is relative, and i dont like spicy foods at all so i might be overly sensitive to spice levels.  She lived up in town, where you could find them so its plausible. I forget why we went there, and im not 100% sure that is what it was.. But i think it was, and if i remember right we had some sort of issue .. Been too long and so insignificant to remember details.

But, i have heard more than once it is..  so i donno.

You do not - have In-n-Out in the area. They have a policy that there has to be a distribution center for all their food within 100 miles of every store. So far, the furthest East they are is a few places in Texas... but I think they're opening up one in the Midwest now... which means they'll soon be all over there. 


I'd think they're going to find it harder to compete the further East they go - but, Texas is pretty much Whattaburger territory and a fiercely loyal home-audience - and In-n-Out is evidently thriving there just like everywhere else they go. 

Sun Mar 13 2022 18:15:48 EDT from Nurb432

I dont think we have any in-outs in the area.  I do know of ONE jack in the box, next town north, fairly new. ( never been )

i guess the Indian place here is now Chinese, and they split the place 1/2 and the other 1/2 is Dominos.  Doubt either last long.  ( drove past today as i took the dogs to the town up north for a walk.  Nice day, low 50s, so thought we would go someplace different )

Yeah, my experience in NE Ohio was a lot like yours. 

Um... so many posts here... can't remember all the points I wanted to hit. 


Popeye's is "Louisiana Style" - their Red Beans and Rice with hotsauce is *bomb*. It is absolutely a very unapologetically "ethnic" brand... and they do offer some real heat for a fast food place. 

Chick-Fil-A is ALWAYS right next to an In-N-Out out here. Both Christian ran organizations - and both the same basic philosophy on freshness and consistency, just one with chicken and the other with cows. 

The similarities are remarkable when you really look at them side by side. 

Also, they have some menu items with real heat - and - what a lot of people don't get about Chick-Fil-A is it is LARGELY about the sauces. Customizing your chicken with one of their sauces, or multiples of their sauces - is the key - and they'll give you as many as you want, generally. They're very laid back - often the sauces are just in bin

In the actual town i live in: ( tho we were surrounded by farms, it isn't true country, but "semi-rural", but that is quickly changing.. as i have ranted about before and i really need out of this area. .bad )

We have limited choices:

• Subway ( ick )
• Hardees ( i think this is a Midwest chain. so didnt mention it before ). Gone down hill last few years. Stopped going. They do at least have a variety, even burritos.. Tho they dropped the fried chicken.
• A Burger king ( forgot about them too as not a fan .  something changed perhaps 15 years ago, their meat does not taste like meat now and stopped going )
• Non chain pizza joint, mostly thin cheapy stuff. not a fan.
• Bar/restaurant. Has some of the best breaded tenderloin in the state ( you would have to be a Hoosier to understand )
• Some new Indian place. 
• Ice cream shop ( that now sells CBD too..  lol )
• Couple of gas stations with gas station food.
• We lost our grocery ( small mom/pop ) about 15 years ago.
• One liquor store
• 2. count them.  2.. dentists
• a CVS. ( in the Midwest, who doesn't have one? :) )
• One gun shop ( ok, not food, just that we only have one )
• One bank ( same thing.. just one )
• 2 used junk car lots.. LIke CVS its the Midwest. .gotta have them.
• Oh, and a 'farmers market' sort of thing but they dont cook food there. 

Anything else, it means going to the next town.  Not that its THAT far.. just not walking distance and its a different town.

Town i grew up in ( middle school thru college ) had a general store. Nearest gas station was ~15 miles away, and was not a chain back then. They had a 'real' DQ and a KFC there with the station. The DQ had its own menu, mostly ignored the chain rules. Both are long gone. Torn down to widen the state road to make it an 'interstate' . "Progress". So sick of it.  General store is closed too. Been perhaps 20 years.   Building is still there so you can drive past and feel sad about what has happened to the area.

Like DQ, was just another i had forgot about as i rarely go there. Not that i dont or do like them..

1. None near where i live.
2. The one near work, its always too busy so i dont even think about eating there, considering the limited time allocated to eat.. 

However, the last time i DID go, perhaps 6 months ago, i noticed their shakes have shrunk, drastically.  Their large is not much bigger than a small was a year ago. Got lucky, they were not busy.

Isn't Popeye's chicken more spicy by nature? So its more of a preference thing not reality quality?  ( or the risk of getting beat up.. due to location )

Sat Mar 12 2022 05:03:20 PM EST from IGnatius T Foobar

* can you see a pattern here? 

Yup. The pattern is that you didn't mention Chick-Fil-A.

Consistently good food, consistently good service, consistently clean, reasonable prices. You simply cannot go wrong with Chick-Fil-A. (And I am not partisan in the Chick-Fil-A vs. Popeye's chicken sandwich debate -- I like them both.)

Drove past a Noble Romans today .. "craft pizza" sign on the window. Umm, no, its not.   Unsure if that is a national chain or not so might be unknown to the rest of you. They have been around here forever, but never a fan.   There is a local small chain 'Chicagos' that does decent pizza and sandwiches.  Its not true Chicago deep dish, but its not thin crap either.   We do have a Giordano's up the street in the next town however, if you need real Chicago deep dish .. 

I forgot about DQ.  Most of them are gone around here. Never really got 'food' there anyway and it was always their cheap ice-milk.  ( ya, im one of those people, not fond of iceMILK so much. i want iceCREAM )

Popeye's, I think i went to one ONCE.   They are mostly inner city ( as you were suggesting :)  ) and i mostly have lived out in the burbs or country.

Subway had a couple of sandwiches that were edible, including the meatball, but that was years and years ago. ( warm chicken. and a Philly steak like thing. not the lunch meat stuff )

And that is too bad about Boston market, i liked them other than the price. None around here on my side of town, so i haven't been in a while.

So many local joints i could fill pages.. but no one but people in my area would have a clue who they are :)  But honesty, i dont go out all that much so i'm not an *expert* on it, i just know "enough" about it to be able to avoid the worst. Never really have been big on dining out, so there is a lot around here locally i have only heard about, not had myself. I tend to prefer to make my own stuff. I was cooking back as far as middle school and brown bagged it back then. 

Oh, they are gone now so does not really fit in this discussion and i guess were not truly 'fast food', but the waffle house family restaurants were nice.  Sort of like a subdued cracker barrel complete with wooden floors, but i think only existed in Indiana.   I was dating a woman from northern Ohio who was a regional manager at the 'traditional' WH's you see on the side of the interstate, and she had never heard of them until we started seeing each other some 25 years ago  ( we would trade off which place we would spend weekends at ).

Fast food on the East Coast generally sucks. Ohio was terrible. There is one Jack in the Box in the whole state, no Weinerschnitzle, the nearest Hardee's is on I-80 in Akron and is a run down dive... 

Arizona, it is almost ALL a cut above anything I ever had when I was on the East Coast. With some strange exceptions. Steak-n-Shake was not GREAT, but it was the closest thing to In-N-Out around out there. Here in Arizona, they opened one, and it sucks. Not just, compared to the competition here - but - compared to their stores on the East Coast. 

Arby's has a weird strategy. Bottom of the barrel "shaved meat and fake cheese on buns" and nearly deli quality actual sandwiches on bread. And prices to match. They're like a slum-level (Weinerschnitzle/Jack/WhiteCastle/Whattaburger) level fast food place on one level, and upscale on the other end. Their stores reflect that. The ones in the ghetto that are trying to sell two dozen roast-beef sandwiches for $22 to people on welfare are usual

5 Guys - I think you've got to figure out the menu. You can't go ALL THE WAY... you need to pick your toppings. I get a little burger, grill cheese style, with grilled onions and cheese. It is basically a patty melt. It is AWESOME. The cajun fries are delicious - too. They're not Fast Food tier. They're Chipotles/Rubios/Shake Shack/Smash Burger boutique places that exist between fast food and a genuine restaurant. All of these places, their prices reflect that they're a cut above a fast-food franchise. People always want to compare these places to In-N-Out. My point is that you WANT to compare these places to In-N-Out speaks to just how far In-N-Out knocks it out of the park. 

Jimmy Johns is good for a Subway class place. Better than most of the rest. We have Cheba Hut - nothing can compete. 

Boston Market sucks now. They're terrible. Small portions, higher prices, and the food is terrible now. We went recently, and had heard bad things - but we went for nostalgia. We should have k

• Subway, well they went down years ago and are about inedible. im sick for 2 days after eating there. rather go without.
• PennStation, seems OK still, but prices are stupid now.
• Steak-n-shake ( i think is regional? ) is still edible but not like it was 20 years ago
• Quiznos, is about non-existent. We have one left in the state.  and they now not much better than subway at this point, but still charge premium.  I used to like them. At least until i broke a tooth on a bone..
• KFC.. bleh now.  Tastes like breaded bleached tires.  
• Tacobell. well, its taco bell, not been worth a damn since the 60s. 
• A&W,  about the same as Wendy's now.
• Long John Silvers..  gross now
• 5 guys. edible but over priced and you better LOVE fries :) 
• Jimmy johns ( regional? ) is an ok replacement for subway if you want lunch meat subs.
• Boston market, not been in a while but were ok to eat at, just stupid priced for what you got.
• White castle.. ( regional? ) well its white castle. not changed much since the 50s..  
• Rallys/checkers ..  meh

Many of our local non-chain shops and bars are still ok. But was trying to think of major chains. To me, most of them are dismal at best, they worry more about profit than quality.

 The kind of thing where you can go through a whole bag on a drive...  

I wasn't really passing judgement on "craft -vs- commodity" items, just have been using it as a comparison for 'the same but different' concept that most people could easily identify with. 

People are more than welcome to enjoy their pee water, its just not for me :) 

Thought of another example... maybe the defacto one... 

Corn chips. There are high quality consumer grade cornchips, there are culinary, home made, small batch corn chips you might get at a Mexican restaurant or tienda - and then... 


There are Doritos. 

All 3 are the same concept and idea... and I'm sure there are people out there who would NEVER touch a Doritos chip. In fact, there are places where the Dorito is out of place. They're not particularly good for making *nachos* - and if I went to a Mexican restaurant and their nachos were using Doritos as a base - unless it is Taco Bell - I'm pretty sure I'd be disappointed. 

But that doesn't mean that Taco Bell could come up with something with Doritos Cool Ranch as the base - they have... They make Doritos shell tacos. They're fucking *tasty*. 


You can say they're not a real taco - but that doesn't mean that sometimes a "fake" taco isn't exactly what hits the spot. 

And Do

I think people get caught up in their heads on ideas like "craft beers" vs. "commercial consumer beers". Wine was really the *first* big product where this kind of "I wouldn't touch that shit," attitude grew... wine and the idea of "high fidelity audio systems". 

I suppose German cars have a lot of this too. Swiss watches... there are a lot of things where people get caught up in *asserting* how much *superior* to the alternatives *their* choice is. 

And... they may be right. I've had a lot of craft beers, fine wines, German cars and even a couple of precision timepieces. At this point in society - it has even gotten to the level of burger stands. It is happening with whiskey, too. 

The fact is - there are places where a Budweiser or a Miller is going to hit the spot *just* right in a way that no Craft beer will. Taking a boat across a lake to a cove with a sandy beach to cook hotdogs on a hibachi - Tecate or Corona is about as fancy and exotic as I want the beer. I wan

I agree government subsides are bad regardless, as are tax abatement.  Governments should not be picking winners and losers. ( unless we at war, rules change )

And yes. The cola i make is like that, i try to compare it to 'craft beer' as a comparison when people ask.  Its sort of like drinking regular pee water and comparing it to craft Ale.  its the same basic idea but the taste is quite different. Even those that dont drink beer ( like myself ) can at least comprehend the concept.   Since coke and Pepsi taste so much alike, using that as a reference failed. A few have liked what i make, a few, it was far to heavy for them.  Ironically now that i'm so used to my own, drinking commodity cola is about like drinking pee beer after you are used to craft. 

Jones is good. but stores no longer sell "cola" flavor here. just weird flavors. 

I do like sodastream cola flavor too, as it is similar tasting to mine ( i use it when i'm too lazy to make a batch of my own ), but you do need a way to carbonate water, or buy carbonated water in bottles.

So, "Mexican Cokes" are the perfect example of how economies and market demand work - and why government interference in free market economies causes damages.  

We've been told that Corn Syrup is simply a necessary ingredient in order to deliver products at a price US Citizens are willing to pay. This has resulted in nearly all food manufacturers switching from real sugar to corn syrup in their sweetened products. There is also evidence that corn syrup, gram for gram - has far worse health impacts than genuine sugar. Neither may be good for you - but sugar is absolutely the lesser of two evils in this case. 


The obesity crisis strongly correlates with the adoption of corn syrup, and subjectively, I think that the decline in popular fast-food places, along with a sentiment that, "their food used to taste better," reflects the adoption of corn syrup as a sugar alternative and the removal of trans-fats. I had a Whopper in Tokyo - and it was the best Whopper I've had in 20 years

It pisses me off every time I drink a Mexican coke that I paid an American import price for. If the US consumers were just smart enough - like the Mexican ones, to go, "Nope. We won't drink that shit, and we won't pay more for the alternative." That would put an end to it. But we're not that smart. We get exactly the Government we deserve. 

More likely the prisoner who is supposed to be isolated from general population gets left in the showers while another inmate who has angered the guards also ends up in that shower at the same time. 


That is how prisons work. A lot of times, you've put the wolves in charge of guarding the chicken coop. 

Again, the time Manson got left in the yard when the general population was let out there, and a couple of gangbangers proceeded to beat the shit out of him for the rep they earned by beating Manson's ass... 

You think that was an accident? 

The same guards who would let this convict take a beating, would let this convict get a bit of alone time with another inmate they didn't like. That kind of prison justice goes *both* ways. 

It's just a bad scenario, all around - and it is a totally CALIFORNIAN PENAL SYSTEM kind of fubar situation to happen.

With luck they use isolation, then guards take turns in the beatings.

He committed the crime when he was 17, and somehow they screwed up on prosecuting him, and the California law says that although he is now a she and she is now an adult, the crime was a juvenile offense and therefore the convicted has to serve their punishment at a juvenile facility - in this case - one that matches their gender identity. 

So, they're punishing a man who now identifies as a woman - who sexually assaulted a 10 year old girl when she was a 17 year old HE - by incarcerating "her" in a holding facility where they imprison underaged girls. 

What could possibly go wrong? They may have to drag her out when she completes her sentence.

I must have missed the part of putting an adult with children. I thought it was just women's prison, where he will be taught a lesson, so to speak.

Let me clarify... 


They're putting a man, who now identifies as a woman, in a juvenile hold facility for GIRLS, because he assaulted a girl when he was a minor. 

It feels to me like locking up a guy guilty of stealing candy in a Hershey's factory because he claims he identifies as a Reese's cup. 

If he gets the opportunity to steal more candy while locked in that factory - at that point - YOU put him there, right? It just doesn't seem like the most well executed crime and punishment scenario. 


Kind of like reassigning a Priest accused of abuse to an orphanage. "We'll show YOU, Father McNasty!"

To me its someone who is in prison for hurting a child.   Don't matter what orientation you are, you are scum and should burn.

Yeah, but this time when the prison guards fuck up and leave the dude who is supposed to be isolated in the yard when they also let general population out... it isn't going to be Manson getting banged up by a bunch of gangbangers looking for credibility... 

It is going to be some dude who claims he is a girl banging an inmate.

Which ultimately, was ok.

They promise to keep her isolated from other prisoners. Like, you know, how they kept Manson separated from the general population, until he got left in the yard and a bunch of gangbangers beat the shit out of him.

I *can* be a white woman, if I want. They'll allow me to change my gender and my sexual preference all I want - and if I do... I suddenly get protected minority status. 

It is the ONLY path they give to a straight white male to be part of the new order. Emasculate yourself. 

Did you read about the TG that was convicted of sexual assault on a minor and because "she" has transitioned and committed the offense as an adolescent - she has to be held in a GIRL'S juvenile facility? 

You can't make this up. California. "This guy who molested an underaged girl now identifies as a girl, so we're going to lock HER up with a bunch of underaged girls."

In a world where a man can be a woman, a woman can be a man, you
can be any ethnicity you want, any age, good looking or ugly, short

Whoppi Goldberg can be any ethnicity she wants. (She's been lying about being Jewish throughout her career)

but YOU can't ;-p

Didn't mean it was common, just that it does exist.  And as Zucker's perversion of our metaverse happens, stuff like that will come down in price, and be more main stream.

( Reduction of prices and better hardware, due to larger demand for better equipment is the ONLY thing i see that is good.  So far we are a nice market, and thus have to suffer with sub-par hardware and in many cases, software.  We have had to live with 1/2 baked solutions like google cardboard. ( which was nice, dont get me wrong, but never advanced beyond what was introduced )

Yeah, but these things are fairly sophisticated, and require plug ins and scripting in the environment in order to pass through. I doubt the Metaverse base environment has this without a lot of opting in involved. 

She would have certainly had to give permission to some requester, "Let other avatars interact and activate your haptic feedback devices." 

And once more... she is the VP of a VR company. 

The haptic stuff is expensive and most of it is pre-release at the moment too... so - she would have to run into 3 people with those things, and have them herself, with everyone opted in to full interactive mode with one another - for anything PHYSICAL to have occurred. 

It stinks of a publicity stunt *and* a push to be able to better monitor, control, and limit the experience of players online.

Haptive-feedback bodysuits are coming. And you can already buy 'interactive sex toys' ( nothing new, just now they are Bluetooth and internet enabled..  ) and other things like gloves that give you physical feedback from your game. Even game controlled shock collars are availble.

Not that i agree with these 'acts' being labeled as such,  just commenting that the 'interaction' can be remotely ( pun intended ) physically interactive today, and options will only increase..   And im sure the woke will adjust to incldue them when they need to.

 

Moreover, I would like to know the specific mechanics of her "rape." In every online game I've ever played,  you can't actually physically interact with other players, but rather your avatar just moves through their avatar.

This post was so long that it prompted me to log in with the web client to reply. So congratulations for that. Now enjoy my utter incompetence with the rich text editor.

And - you can pull the headset off any time you want. You can hit the power.

The same people who will insist that Kyle Rittenhouse should have gotten away without using lethal force, that he shouldn't even have been there - will insist that THIS woman had every right to be in a virtual environment and shouldn't have had to run away from her fantasy-world attackers - which was done as easily as just pulling her headset off and closing down the app. That is all she had to do to end the assault - and she claims instead she "froze" and experienced the whole ordeal and that it was psychologically traumatic to her. They'll support stand-your-ground in Virtual Realities and Online Communities - but in the real world, they'll argue that it was Kyle Rittenhouse's fault for being where he shouldn't have been (ignoring the fact that if Kyle was a woman and had been the victim of attempted rape - they would be outraged).

What they need is some sort of Rating System or Seal of Safety that virtual destinations can put on the portal into those worlds. "We adhere to the K-12 Seal of VR Safety Approval."
