Texan here. Buccees is WILDLY overrated. Their food used to be really good but they've apparently cut costs on it and now are no better than any other fast food place. They're just a glorified, gimicky gas station. Restrooms are always clean though.

They're massively overrated anyway. Just a glorified gas station. Their food used to be top notch, but they have since cut costs and now they're no better than any generic fast food place. Restrooms are kept clean. That's all they have going for them.

This excuse always baffled me. You know they don't HAVE to raise their prices, right? They could simply eat the cost and still be rolling in obscene amounts money. Let's stop making excuses for corporate greed.

I assumed she was taking a selfie.

Texas generally has gas prices cheaper than the national average. It always shocks me when I go to other states.

The one Republican Senator, Ted Cruz, was not up for reelection. Hopefully we'll be rid of him soon too.

The insecurity is so palpable. What a baby.

As usual, his priorities are:

1. Himself.

That's the list.

Unfortunately, my Republican Congressperson won his election. And we're still stuck with Ted Cruz until he's up for reelection. But for sure, I am so thrilled with the election results.

With respect, I think you're wildly underestimating the ignorance and obstinance of Republican voters in the US. Have you ever interacted directly with a MAGA, evangelical Christian? Their hatred, arrogance and ignorance are genuinely baffling to behold. They live all around me, I interact with them every day, and not even I understand why they are the way they are. Despite all the valid issues you raised, still millions of them voted down party lines yesterday. A couple of Democrat wins would have been shocking, but the full sweep we got is just... there's no word to describe how incredible it is.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Why?
