Cracker Barrell logo is a jewish psyop to run one specific goy slop Sysco frozen food restaurant out of business in order to sell its physical assets to a new less Americanized goy slop Sysco frozen food restaurant that will replace it. It was purchased by jew owned and jew controlled venture capital firms using Americans 401k and pension funds. It was targeted because it is too American and wholesome. The current ceo is a liberal lesbian who is entirely in on the process and knows exactly what she is doing. If the current share holders were no such retarded RINO Boomers they woild be smart enough to sue the company for failure of its fiduciary responsibility. However even if they did the jew controlled court systems would reject their legitimate claims.

... damn can a nigga eat some fucking meatloaf without being told that the jews run everything?
 
When in the west we were all the same people descended from the same values that mechanic stratified further up for all of those. Trusting your countrymen was great when they were statistically worth trusting. But when you mix in hordes of people who are from races and cultures where they take advantage of weakness, treat each other like robots, exaggerate their own harm to get their way, and are generally soulless, it doesn't work. This is part of why I don't blame boomers for being the way they are. They grew up in a time where it made sense to be that way.
As is true with many good things, scumfuck politicians sold us one thing and delivered another. The multicultural promise had some notion of assimilation baked into it to sell it to people, and globohomo is doing everything in its power to do not-that. So cue a load of people who think they bought one thing, defending buying that one thing, when the whole problem is that they got delivered the other thing that is very much not what they think it is.

What's the moral of the story? I dunno but, "You don't hate the WEF enough," seems like a good one here given those cunts and their slimy ilk really helped kick this shit off more than anyone.
 
I think Caesar seized power on account of bribing people, breaking any law he wanted, while running good PR, and had the personal loyalty of the largest armies and vast wealth from conquest. You don't need to romanticize him.
What are you talking about, it's perfectly reasonable to "romanticize" him. He was a legendary figure, i'm not sure what reason anyone would have for saying "Oh he was just some asshole.."

Are you brown?

No, I can see it. Caesar's rise came off the backs of equally respected people, and the shine behind the legend of Caesar comes at the expense of individuals like Cicero who were doing equally valid to romanticize things, yet were just on the wrong side of historical events.

If anything, we don't romanticize enough Roman statesmen overall, and we'd all be better off if we did. I for one would not mind Apicius's cookbooks being reprinted for the world.

Multiculturalism was always sold as the antithesis of assimilation here in Canada, and it was always taught that it made society better to have all different cultures mixing but staying distinct.

Of course it was all transparently bullshit, as every city developed ethnic enclaves that make most American Chinatowns look like paragons of assimilation, and you can probably find 100 people a day who speak neither of the country's two official languages.
 
The depressing part is that the liberal mindset is one that works great when you're around other people who embrace it properly. The only people who have ever been in that mindset are white, western, and more or less Christian raised, with basic roman-esque values. The programming these people feel is deep and atavistic, it's actually the most beautiful thing about us. But rapid multiculturalism fucks it up.
Some people trap themselves in a self-perpetuating bubble of misery. They gather with others who share their negative outlook, creating an echo chamber where everyone's complaints and fears are amplified.

Take the 'wealth inequality' issue that seems to be the number 1 issue for these people.

They'll drone on about it being a 'growing problem,' and I suppose if you're so myopically focused on a single wealthy nation, you might see the gap widening. But that's a provincial, navel-gazing perspective.

The undeniable truth is, on a global scale, income inequality is in a rapid state of decline. This is due to the enormous economic ascensions of places like China and India, which have single-handedly yanked hundreds of millions of people from the depths of extreme poverty. The world is unequivocally improving, but they, in their insulated little bubble, are simply too shortsighted to comprehend it.
 
I've never even been to a Cracker Barrel. Is it any good?
Cracker Barrel was, because with the way things are going I am expecting enshittification to hit the food, a good roadside stop place.
This was my experience the one time I ate there as part of a pit stop during a drive home. The food was decent enough and people who like nostalgia or old-fashioned stuff might enjoy the country-style general store portion. It's not a place that screams, "OMG, visit often!" to me, but a place I'd consider if I needed a bite to eat on while on the road.

I'm curious to see whether the quality of the food and service takes a proportionate hit with the stock values in light of the rebranding efforts.

Carrying children up to 26 was an increase over prior times. Before that, it was an insurance company decision, and plans typically cut off dependent coverage at 18 or 21.
From my pre-Obama Care experience, insurance companies would allow children to stay on their parents' plans beyond the 18-21 cutoff if they were full-time students. Once they weren't, though, they were dropped in a matter of months with a reminder letter.

Normies won't know how to do this. but all you have to do is block the tv at the mac address level and it can't do shit.
How many smart TVs still allow end users to do this? I'd wager 100 quatloos companies would love to prevent people from doing this, unless prohibited by law, so to bombard them with ads and other unwanted content. Stuff like this is why people I know want to keep their non-smart tvs until they stop working.

Trump getting Democrats to defend crime has been one of the best things he has done since getting the media to report rape statistics of women crossing the border.
I know the far left/DSA types and the vote blue no matter who crowd won't be phased by this, but do the Dems sincerely think their efforts to champion crime and criminals will successfully appeal to what moderate and independent voters still exist? Their only hope for success seems hinge on wining the deep blue areas and having it be enough to overtake the red votes elsehwere - especially with extreme candidates such as the NYC mayoral guy.

The problem comes down to how obvious this is if I drop down some cousin-fucking Paki scum in front of the neo-lib and say, "Well do YOU want him in your country?" They're gonna either say no or start talking in terms of assimilation when I make it that stark, bonus points if I really lay on the implications if YOU'RE gonna be the cousin he fucks. Even the vauntedly false magic soil arguments are predicated that the noble savage will lose the savage for the nobility.

I know the whole thing is bullshit mind you, I more want to cut straight to that subconscious heart of why it's appealing. No one likes Johnny Jihadi and if Johnny Jihadi is doing Jihadi things in the neo-lib's country, there needs to be some degree of separation between what's being sold and what people are getting. Otherwise the obvious question of Johnny Jihadi electing to build a murder mosque, because they do in fact do that, will cause the neo-lib to snap out of it and value ideological self-preservation at minimum. In Canada, I'd presume it's some kind of colonizer shaming, but that doesn't really elevate the other cultures at all. I don't exactly see where "penance" starts transforming into "admiration of the other applied to me." Neo-libs are NIMBY bastards after all.

The dirty secret is that older parents kick their adult children off their insurance to save themselves money. Some of this is bog standard greed, but a large portion of it is the skyrocketing cost of premiums.
 
What is it? I genuinely don’t know what that’s supposed to reference.

As relevant to the graph that was posted:
Heatmaps indicating highest moral allocation by ideology, Study 3a. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. Note. The highest value on the heatmap scale is 20 units for liberals, and 12 units for conservatives. Moral circle rings, from inner to outer, are described as follows: (1) all of your immediate family, (2) all of your extended family, (3) all of your closest friends, (4) all of your friends (including distant ones), (5) all of your acquaintances, (6) all people you have ever met, (7) all people in your country, (8) all people on your continent, (9) all people on all continents, (10) all mammals, (11) all amphibians, reptiles, mammals, fish, and birds, (12) all animals on earth including paramecia and amoebae, (13) all animals in the universe, including alien lifeforms, (14) all living things in the universe including plants and trees, (15) all natural things in the universe including inert entities such as rocks, (16) all things in existence
While people across the ideological spectrum all likely experience both centripetal and centrifugal forces in their ambits of concern, liberals are more likely to distribute concern to outer circles and conservatives are more likely to distribute concern to inner circles. This suggests that it is the differential distribution of concern that contributes to and exacerbates moral debates across the political divide.

In a nutshell, the study's data indicated that liberals cared more about animals, rocks, trees, etc. than they did their family, friends, and countrymen. As a meme, it indicates that the left empathizes more with an endangered guppy in backwater China than they do with their neighbor or family at risk of being crushed to death by an illegal Indian trucker.

I have a Sony and it allows me to turn off connectivity aside from OS updates.

The TVs that don't let you. are usually the cheapass ones where the only way the manufacturer is making a profit is to sell your attention to Google AdSense or another advertising company.
