  1. Huh? I have a pretty stout and wide knife - pretty similar to a santoku. So, my hand pressing down doesn't come anywhere near the actual sharp side, and the sharp side never hits the board. And as dcbc noted, it's just a little thump. I've cut myself plenty of times over the years, but never even come close to doing so while using the flat of the knife to smash some garlic.
  2. I think that those who support inflicting pain on others should see it inflicted upon themselves, as an outcome of cosmic justice. I just made that up. I think I'll call it "karma." Yep, it's my totally original idea, nobody has ever had it before or tied it to any sort of cosmic justice or whatnot. Interesting that you don't call people who cackle with glee at seeing innocent people thrown to the ground, shipped off to foreign detention centers with zero due process, etc. "fucking lunatics." Nope, the only "fucking lunatics" are the people who say "huh....maybe those people should see the same pain brought upon themselves." Perfection.
  3. I mean....Godwin himself has pulled back on Godwin's law. MAYBE if your dude stopped running plays pulled, virtually unchanged, from the national socialism playbook, he wouldn't draw the nazi comparisons. Maybe if one of the primary architects of his regime didn't openly state that all 65 million hispanics in the US need to go. Maybe if his regime didn't deem the political opposition to be a domestic terror organization or somesuch. Maybe if his regime didn't pursue the openly fascist policy of state control of private enterprises. Etc. times 100,000 other examples. Nope. You're good with the fucking GOVERNMENT attacking a garden-variety rebranding decision as "woke," because everything you don't like is "woke" (which is, of course, the world's worst cover for "why can't we just get back to everything being about white people and only white people?") The regime simultaneously threatens to deport all hispanics, while also lamenting white people not having a spot of supremacy in every possible way, even ways that don't even make fucking sense (it's a goddamn mediocre restaurant logo). You are on the enshittification side, and pushing on the gas.
  4. You are fucking insane. Again....there is not a single fucking thing this admin could do that you won't excuse. The fucking White House. Is trolling the logo change of an insignificant roadside biscuit joint. Attacking it NOT as a silly rebranding or basic marketing failure....but rather that it's "woke." The highest office in the land is the living embodiment of a meme of utter stupidity: And you defend it. Enshittification is you. And your utterly moronic analogy MIGHT have some legs if CB had changed its logo and said something....ANYTHING....about changing it because of MAGA culture or whatnot. They didn't. They didn't say a goddamned think like that to provoke ANY of the ire the insane fucking regime is sending their way. It's a made-up issue by an insane, sick, twisted, and cruel man with a completely broken brain, and half of America loves it, because half of America is deeply, deeply shitty.
  5. For the millionth time, we've just gone fully, completely, and totally insane. Utterly disconnected from reality. Cheese makes baseballs fly backwards. An epidemic of bad craps-shooting has caused the Mongolian Lesser Flycatcher to develop an extra head. Too many people reading books printed in Times Roman fonts has caused beef prices to skyrocket. All of these things are happening "at levels never seen before." If we created a random "stupid timeline generator," it still could never come up with a timeline as stupid as this one. There simply isn't enough computing power in existence to get us there, artificially.
  6. Yes. It's a bit called "America 2025....our shittiness has no limit." "Enshittification" is our entire national ethos now.
  7. Jesus Christ. That half of Americans worship as a god a man so pathetic that he needs an endless parade of simps gobbling his crank. He is literally the least masculine, the least self-assured human to ever walk the earth. Not least of all presidents, least of all human beings period. He's the opposite of what a "real man" is by any rational measure, and they fucking simp for him. A nation of pathetic simps. They're right about one thing -- we DO have a crisis of masculinity. Problem is, they don't realize that the problem is THEM.
  8. Yep. Hell, I don't even cut the ends off. Just smash with flat end of knife and peel. When my kids still lived with us, they are younger and more nimble, that was one of my sous chef assignments -- "I just smashed 15 cloves of garlic [so, a modest amount for any recipe]....peel it for me." I'd then come back through and chop it up quickly, and into the pan it goes. There are a handful of basic (non spice) ingredients that I never, ever run out of, and get antsy when they are running anywhere close to low: garlic, onion, lemon, lime, olive oil, butter. If I've got those, and my spice cabinet, I can make a meal outta damn near anything.
  9. Only loser commies wash the garlic smell off their hands.
  10. Two different accounts? Both posts are the fucking WHITE HOUSE. The official account of the goddamned POTUS. One is quoting Trump himself, and the other is a literal "go woke go broke" post. WTF is the official account doing TROLLING a fucking business that did NOTHING to pick a political fight? CB didn't say "we're doing this because MAGA America is hostile to our values" or any of that shit (which is EXACLTY what BBB did with California and Newsom -- they picked a fight with California FIRST). Jesus. There really is nothing that he does that you won't defend, is there? Goddamned cult. Enshittification of this country indeed.
  11. This. When I was a young cook, I tried jar-lic once. Once. I used it, tasted it, said "WTF is this shit?", tossed it, and never did it again. I do occasionally use a garlic press, but honestly, 99% of the time, just use basic knife work.
  12. Correct on all points. And this is really important: every fucking Republican and Republican voter will be fine with it, because the truth is, they hate this country and want to end it.
  13. He LITERALY called it "woke." Excuse me, HE didn't... the actual office of the president, the official mouthpiece for the executive branch of the United States of America, called it "woke." A fucking nothing of a logo change. You say it's not political. FFS, a political official, using his official account, is attacking it as....a political move. In plain and direct language. These are your guys. Go sit with them, this is how you want things to be. Gavin didn't call out BBB....they called HIM out. He answered. BBB's statement was overtly and openly political, aimed squarely at him. He answered. Cracker Barrel's logo change, on the other hand, was ordinary milquetoast marketing nothingness. Bland, pointless, a giant "whatever." That has now drawn the ire of the fucking most powerful man in the world, president of the ENTIRE country as a matter of law, who is attacking it as "woke." Again, the biggest bunch of pussies to ever walk the fucking earth. "Everything I don't like is woke" spineless simpering pussies who are so desperate to make enemies of everyone and everyone. Fuck them all to hell.
  14. Bingo. They still haven't fully consolidated power. Once they capture a safe majority in both houses of Congress, then it's all over, and there's no going back.
  15. First, yes they can. Because their platform is "be super shitty to other people," and that is our dominant American ethos. Second...dude. We've had our last free and fair election. We may have had our last presidential election altogether. Odds of us actually having an election in 2028 are down to 50/50, and plummeting.
  16. It doesn't even require clever/imaginative thinking to get to that conclusion. Just 30 seconds of googling "what fucking fascist movement have historically done" or some simple shit like that.
  17. TLDR; it's all just fucking stupid and Americans are mostly mean and stupid and fuck it all.
  18. Duh. The administration has already declared that "all 65 million of them" have to go. That's the total number of all hispanics in the US, including citizens and legal residents. It's a racial purge. And every hispanic that voted for this might as well have put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger himself.
  19. I mean....the fucking president of the United States, from his official account, is squawking about it as an issue of national importance. So, yeah, "nobody gives two shits" is just flat-out wrong. We have an entire movement that lives and breathes for the singular purpose of finding a way to make everything an attack on them and their way of life. It's fucking idiotic and destructive but yeah, it keeps the "we need an enemy" fire burning bright. Over a goddamned mediocre roadside fried food joint. End this society. It's run its course.
  20. The thing is, it DOES, just in a negative sense. Their ethos is not "leave us all alone." It's "leave ME alone to do whatever I want....but by all means, oppress the fuck out of everyone not like me and also take over private enterprises, just not mine."
  21. Meh. Wait until a story breaks about him fucking underage girls -- he'll shoot right to the top of the GQP rankings.
  22. It's hard to imagine a group that has beclowned itself more in the past decade than "libertarians." From "Don't Tread on Me" to "Tread on me daddy, hand over control of the government to corporate oligarchs with no limits or checks, and let's go ahead with governmental ownership of private enterprise too." It was never an ideology. I have no idea what in the fuck it was, other than dipshits biding their time until they found just the right flavor of fascist authoritarianism.
  23. Been to a CB a coupla times, because it's near the highway. Chicken and Dumplings are good, as is the breakfast menu, IIRC (it's been a few years). The fact that there is a cultural dustup of offended MAGAs because they literally just streamlined the logo....yeah, add it to the pile of reasons this country is not worth saving. It's a fucking logo for a roadside home cooking type restaurant. Nobody, not a single living human, should give .000001% of a shit about it, but here we are. I make better chicken and dumplings myself, though, for the record.
