  • I’ll second the last bit. I’ve got too many friends who bought their houses and they’re so insanely worried about “well what if the paint color on the outside makes people not want to buy the house” or whatever. That’s (hopefully) a problem that’s years and years in the future, and you shouldn’t have to worry about it. Don’t worry about how other people might see it - it’s your house, and you should do things that please you. Always wanted a bright pink bedroom? Go for it.


  • Ehhh, there’s still lively debate, but the general consensus is that the whole “we’ll deport the Jews/undesirables” thing was mostly a smokescreen, and the plan was always to either place them in work camps or kill the ones that couldn’t work. The camps came AFTER a lengthy campaign of extermination against “useless eaters” such as the elderly, the chronically ill, and the mentally and physically disabled, which was billed as “well they’re a huge drain on state resources.”



  • They’re a US “comfort food” type restaurant - meatloaf, steaks, etc. Their aesthetic likes to hearken back to an old restaurant in the 1800s, all barn-wood panels and such. Unfortunately, they’ve also proven pretty discriminatory in their practices - in addition to the segregation lawsuit another commenter brought up, they had to be sued to rescind a policy disallowing LGBTQ+ workers in 1991, and there was a pretty notorious incident in 2018 where a Black bus driver got thrown out for simply ordering food at a Cracker Barrel (the staff there referred to Black people by the code phrase “Canadians”). They’re also still the subject of a class-action suit for violating the Fair Labor Standards Act (in 2021), and they also keep getting embroiled in sexual harassment suits.

    Also, they were armed with new AR-15 rifles, which not all of them had been trained to handle yet. The rookie who, by his own admission, was handling the rifle in the following car said he fell (he was standing up) and believed the weapon discharged as the car accelerated, as his hand automatically gripped tighter due to the sudden acceleration. This is further muddied by the fact that the SS probably stole parts of the remains to cover up the fact they might have accidentally killed JFK.

    Alternately, they can hold elections and still make them corrupt by holding them at the most inconvenient times for everyone except the people they want. “Our election is a voice vote, the week before Thanksgiving, at 2PM in a conference room in town 50 miles away” sorta stuff.


  • His lawyers have run out pretty much every option to delay trials, although several judges have seemed pretty damn complicit as well. I get wanting to make sure the case is as airtight as possible, but…the people they’re worried about pissing off with a case that isn’t entirely formed, were just going to be pissed off anyway.
