It’s southerners trying to pretend like they have anything special other than highway-side gas stations.

Family friendly means paying for the best lawyers for his son to fight child porn charges.

To a ya'll qaeda Christian, "family friendly" means:

Jesus is watching you masturbate, disapprovingly.

He also wants you to remember its a sin to discuss your wages/salary, and that unionizing is an unforgivable/deadly sin.

... its camp. They don't realize they're doing camp, because they're in a cult, but its camp.

Right, here's Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian.

10 years ago or whatever, you could tell this was obviously satire. Nowadays? Much closer to indistinguishable from shit ya'll qaeda Christians do and say totally earnestly.

But I don’t really see what the big deal is.

People who make a big deal out of it are over the top, but it's pretty good at being a gas station:

• The gas is usually priced well. I've seen 10% lower than anything else in the area before.
• There's a variety of hot food, all adequate. With a group of people, it's likely everyone will find something.
• There are a lot of snacks.
• There's a variety of caffeine, all reasonably priced instead of the usual gas station trick of energy drinks are only reasonably priced if you buy three.
• There are always gas pumps open. No waiting.
• It's clean, from the pump to the toilet.

If there's one on my route and the timing makes sense, that's where I'll stop.

Family friendly means christian and conservative.

I've been wondering how you square your avatar with your politics for a couple of months now.

(FWIW, I like the food at Buc-ee's...)

This sounds like you're just peeing in the pool.

This guy is such a pisser. Gunna sell him so many turlets.

This is unlikely. Bucees makes all their money from the extremely overpriced items in the store. The bathrooms and cheap gas are only there to get you into the store. They even got sued in Alabama for selling gas below wholesale pricing, violating a state law.

Before all that became a thing and back when I still ate omnivore food, they did have a decent breakfast biscuit thing with chicken and that was actually pretty good. Their coffee was passable, too.

Never really did understand the appeal of the basic sandwich they have. Oh, it has a pickle? Well color me impressed! I mean, it was okay, at least it was a decent cut of meat and tasted okay, but overall the sandwich didn't exactly "pop" as something extremely special.

But I haven't been to one in over 20 years...if they'd drop the hate and bring back something for vegans and vegetarians, someone should let me know....

There was a Shell station on my way to the community college I used to stop at at least a couple times a week regardless of if I needed gas because the bean and cheese burritos were always crispy and yummy. Also the point of sale system sounded just like when Sonic got rings.

I don’t think I’d go into a buccees though. I don’t really like cults.

"...got out over his skis..."? I am guessing this is a phrase from places with snow.

I respect your kindness. I wish I could still feel that in me. I'm old, retired and angrier than I've ever been in my life. These nazis are an infestation at this point and it seems excruciatingly obvious to me now that my years of turning the other cheek were wasted.

I could have been pushing back against these shitbags this entire time and I truly regret being so kind to them. Conservatives see kindness as weakness. Not pushing back is how they've gotten this strong and overtly evil. I feel like I am partly to blame for this situation for being so nice all these years.

I have finally reached an age where I truly don't give a single fuck about a conservative nazi life anymore and am going to make up for lost time in the very little time I have left. All that is to say I genuinely do respect your position of kindness. It just doesn't work for me anymore because I think it will only make the conservatism even worse.
