As a preface, I think this admin, and this whole meeting including the part about fitness, is/was monumentally stupid and I hate where this is going.

However, I do subscribe to the healthy mind leads to a healthy body and healthy body leads to a healthy mind. I don’t think it’s unreasonable at all to have an expectation that our military leadership be fit/healthy/in-shape and not beer-bellied pencil pushers lol. Hard to lead when you’re worried about your failing heart y’know? It is, however, SO STUPID, that they included this in the meeting and had Pete “The Alcoholic” Hegseth lecture them about health.

Beyond just the health of the leaders for their own performance, the military certainly does have a degree of “lead by example” and “respect for appearance” by the lower ranks of the upper ranks.

So while this whole thing is stupid and should’ve been an internal memo/order and, Hegseth and Trump are fascist cronnies — I don’t think it’s unreasonable for their to be a basic expectation that military leadership keep their weight in check (not ripped and huge with muscle, just lean and not overly fat).

Can corroborate lmao. They’ve saved me so much time that I usually spent correcting misinfo, but I guess that’s what they want on their platform. Anyways Lemmy’s been an okay replacement.

It was both a retail store and restaurant. Both sections were “Southern Hospitality” themed minus any confederate or hateful shit. Think biscuits and gravy, maybe some bluegrass, farmin’.

I went a decent amount with my fam as a child and I always found it cozy and interesting. Never been as an adult.

[Other Party]’s general population is totally upset about something [Our Party] thinks is good or even doesn’t give a fuck about!

We must be reactionary over the most trivial stupid shit and bicker and deflect from [List of Enormous Issues and Catastrophes], and create a new issue for everyone to point fingers about!

/s

Personally, I think it looks terrible and I’m a die-hard lefty/socialist/liberal whatever you wanna call me. I don’t eat there and don’t give a fuck about them, but this media attention over this “controversy” has pushed me to form an opinion on something I wouldn’t otherwise care about — and honestly if conservatives hate it, then fuck, I agree with them for once because it looks fuckin’ soulless and terrible lol.

Conservative backlash? Are we really putting all the apparent public distaste for the rebrand on the conservatives? I personally haven’t seen any conservatives or conservative-coded people complain at all; in fact, I thought the “outcry” (more like grumbling imo) was bipartisan and something that progressives and conservatives both disliked.

But again, I feel as though in a reaching effort to make conservatives look even worse than they already do, many democrats and associated talking heads are forcing this story that conservatives are so pissed about it.

I’m left as hell and voted for Harris so I hope that gives some perspective when I say that I also think the logo and overall brand look like tasteless, soulless corporate slop. It’s what all corps have done and will always do, simplify and dilute any individuality to appeal to the broadest possible market possible, and we shouldn’t applaud that.

IDGAF about Cracker Barrel and never eat there, and were it not for media pundits accusing conservatives of being pissed, I don’t think I ever would’ve known. That said, if it’s gonna be pushed in my face for brand awareness and marketing, then yea, it looks like shit and I want to eat there even less than before.

Congrats everyone, you’re falling for engagement bait and doing the advertising for Cracker Barrel for free.
