Gardens Aglow here in town is one of the better displays I've been to. Eureka Springs could be nice as well, I haven't been down there during Christmas in a few years though.

So what was the story? Passed out? Drugs? Old? Somebody who shouldn't have been ruled capable to drive?

That was almost impressive.

>This could be an epiphany moment, where you realize how out of touch with reality you are. Or it could show you how you've been manipulated to hold certain lives as more important than others. But, I'm gonna guess neither of those will come to pass and you'll just double down. Seems like the phrase 'You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into' is very relevant.

Yea, that's pretty condescending, thinking you have to lecture me on the subject of American imperialism. This thread wasn't about American imperialism, you want to start a new one about that and I'll be 100% on board with everything you want to say about how the US Military's function hasn't been protecting the country since at least WW2.

This thread was, however, about a country hosting an event to sportswash their awful human rights record, and a corrupt organization that directly enables organized crime and dictators. The only whataboutism here are the "well the US is just as bad" posts.

Imagine complaining about insults after your condescending post.

Some people do have the ability to care about more than one thing. Maybe try it sometime.

I mean, that building really just needs to be torn down at this point, the renovating costs would be more than new construction.

It's an Android, but go off.

You're cute.

I am very aware of the costs of our imperialism globally, as you could see if you went through my past posts.

The only reason Qatar doesn't match or exceed those numbers is their economy doesn't come close to ours.

Regardless of the whataboutism spewing wantonly from your asshole, it is perfectly acceptable to criticize all three things, the imperialism driving the American military, as well as a corrupt country who doesn't care about the lives of women, migrants, or minority groups in general, and a corrupt "sporting" institution with ties to money laundering and organized crime.

This could be an epiphany for you, where you realize just how big of an asshole you are, or it could show just how many assumptions you make on a daily basis. But, I'm gonna guess that isn't going to happen, and you'll be right back here attempting to make condescending remarks just to find some kind of meaning in your bleak existence.

He's a local restaurateur trying to drum up business, not a giant chain pandering to customers.

He's also absolutely nothing like Missouri Mike, because he's not a giant dickwad or horrible to those he deems "less than." Plus, those groups exist for promotion. Using them that way isn't spam. Feel free to start your own group if it bothers you so much.

Sorry a picture and a joke ruffled your little feathers. But that's all it was. A joke.

Incognito doesn't protect from dmca notices, but I've also never heard of anybody getting one from using a streaming site. I use them for hockey.

Comparing the USA to Qatar is one hell of a stretch. Let me know when the government starts murdering LGBTQ+ individuals for simply existing. (Yea I realize half the country is in favor of it, but it's not happening yet.)

You can see my post history and that I'm no fan of the USA, but actively supporting an event hosted by a country that murdered 1500 people just building the damn stadium?

Yea let's just ignore the literal human lives your fun cost. Seems like a great plan.

The only moral way to watch this Cup.

Your reminder that over 1500 slaves migrant workers died building the stadium. Fuck the Qatar World Cup and Fifa.

All you did was prove your opinion on restaurants is worthless.

Because it isn't true in the slightest.

The dude single-handedly kept a ton of other restaurants open through covid and I've never seen Patrick trash anybody's restaurant. Wtf are you on about?

Well alrighty then. Not sure how that makes me feel to be honest.

I can't imagine being their neighbor and just trying to get home at night. Waiting an hour after work just to pull into my house would piss me all the way off.

That said, park at the school up the street and walk down. You'll get a better view and won't have to wait through the ridiculous car line.

That's a damn shame. I had a fantastic steak there, and it didn't cost me much more than a night out at Amigos.

Ironic, he could save others from being offended but couldn't save himself from being offended by pretending others are offended.

Unnecessary assumptions about political leanings of people who just don't like a big ass, way too bright sign?

The reasoning "it doesn't bother me, so why would it bother anybody else?

The dude just plain being a twat? Take your pick.

I wish I could have seen my elementary-age eyes get bigger and bigger with every box of chicken they brought in. It was amazing.

Honestly, it always tasted best to me cold from the fridge, but that may have been the "rebellion" coming through lol.

Chicken Annie's gang!

The school my mom teaches at always did a fried chicken dinner from them that was always the highlight of my year. Literal boxes and boxes (large, cardboard boxes, not carryout containers) full of fried chicken. All the drumsticks you could eat. I was in heaven every year. And then for a week after I'd "sneak" into the elementary teacher's lounge after school and have even more from the fridge.

Finally! An answer to the question! Kinda like the Aldi philosophy, then.
