This is cute how desperate you are that you are still pushing the pedophile blood libel put out by blue anon, ironic coming from a sex doll lover.
Aw, poor little guy doesn't like it when you point out that he's a low-test, beta cuck who bows down and is subservient to an obese, elderly, senile, pants-shitting pedophile. You're in a cult and need help, dude.
 
To be fair to Cracker Barrel, their company valuation is in the toilet. This attempt to re-brand like other struggling chains was lazy at best. There are better ways to revitalize the brand without changing the image
the letter also puts a spotlight on Sandy Cochran, the CEO from 2011-2024 when Cracker Barrel opened those new stores on the west coast and invested in those dumb barcades

the Board kept Ms. Cochran on in her CEO post — and for far too long. Then, instead of firing Ms. Cochran after she failed to lead the Company successfully as CEO, the Board invited her to lead the Board as Chairman. In most situations, promoting the retired CEO to Chairman and having her look over the shoulder of the new CEO is an indication of a breakdown in governance structure. Clearly, the Board was deferential to Ms. Cochran.
it was easier to just make fun of the current CEO but the problem isn't just one AWFL, the problem stems from a history of them leading. it's always AWFLs
 
Chaos by Tom O'neill.

Slight spoiler: The Greatest Generation used the the CIA, FBI and DARPA to run an unceasing series of gayops against the Boomers and Silents during the 60s, One of the highest profile outcomes being Charlie Manson and The Family. They subverted local law enforcement and the media (both news and entertainment) to then successfully run out the clock and were mostly dead before anyone successfully started piecing together what they had done.

Another book to add to my long book bucket list.

as a Californian, the first three Cracker Barrels I had ever seen in real life all opened between 2020 and 2023, so that checks out. But I also wonder about how unprofitable they are. The one closest to me, the Camarillo one(not far from where Gavin Newsom’s pot farm full of illegal children was raided) is busy at all hours of operation and you constantly see people waiting in line there.However, it’s not built on the side of the highway, rather it’s built in the parking lot of a massive high end outlet mall. I can’t imagine the people going to buy expensive designer handbags are the same people who eat at Cracker Barrel, but they still have business.
 
I will preface this by saying I do not like Taylor Swift's music. However, she is famous for very good reasons:
  • She works a lot. Why do you think she hasn't been married and having kids? It's because she's always writing music and performing. She writes her own music, she writes a lot of it, and she's always touring. It helps that she's good at writing pop songs and it helps that she's willing to play with different genres, meaning she stays "fresh."
  • She understands her image and brand very well and is careful not to fuck with it.
  • She is actually a nice person. I've never met her but industry people have reported that she will not only talk to you, but remember who you are, and she doesn't act like a cunt or a diva.
She isn't astroturfed. She writes her own music, plays her instrument, she performs regularly, her output is consistent, and she minds her Ps and Qs. Chappell Roan is another story.

Just ignore him, dude. He only comes here to troll.

Maybe AstroTurf is the wrong concept. McDonald's is super popular and super successful. It's not because their food is super good. It's because a niche was discovered and investments were made to expand into and dominate that niche. Couldn't have happened without some secret sauce, but at the end of the day it's more about PR and logistics than it is the food.

Same with Swift. Her music fills the niche, but her cultural weight isn't due to her overwhelming talent any more than McDonald's success is based on how incomparably delicious a Big Mac is. It's all industry. It's a product, chosen and developed to satiate the Nigger brain in all of us.
 
Am I the only one who thinks her fame is extremely astroturfed? Like, for all the stuff you hear about how ultra famous she is and how popular her music is, it’s not played all that often on the radio or even in stores. I remember hearing it a lot more in public around 2014 than now. I feel like it’s just one specific loud cult that makes people think she’s bigger than she is. On any given day I hear more about random kpop singers than Taylor Swift and I don’t listen to either
Depends, my High School French class was heavy with Swifties.
 
What's 'hilarious' is your insistence that the man you voted for didn't sexually abuse his daughter, Ashley Biden, despite all evidence to the contrary.
She herself says he didn't and I'll believe her before I believe a guy who says there's nothing Donald Trump could do that would stop him from worshipping him and who gets upset when people don't bow down and want to be submissive to an obese, elderly, senile, pants-shitting pedophile
 
He's Persian, from Iran.
unpopular opinion but Iran would have been much better off if the Shah was never deposed. make Persia great again

Her rise in the mid-2000s (country era) up until the mid-2010s was authentic, as authentic as pop music can be at least. You couldn't go out in public without hearing Blank Space at least once. I think 2015ish was her peak in terms of cultural significance though - I've barely heard her new stuff in the wild, it's almost always her older stuff. Past that she's been coasting off of her existing popularity/brand. Nowadays her name pretty much only comes up in the context of her relationship with the football player Kelcey whatshisnuts. Chiefs games were unwatchable whenever she was in attendance because the camera would keep panning to her box seat every 30 minutes. In fact her engagement was the reason she was brought up in the thread to begin with.

So I'd say she's *currently* being astroturfed but that's not how she got popular in the first place. Her cultural relevance is only being kept alive through her extracurricular drama and not her music anymore (also, unless you're a teenage girl or wine aunt it was and always has been insanely overrated)
 
If by coping you mean living in reality, then yeah. I understand you have a problem with that given how upset you get when people don't want to be subservient to the Chris Chan of presidents
Continuing to deny the reality that Joe Biden sexually abuses his kin and stranger-danger-touches other people's children on camera


Why is it so hard for you to just admit you were wrong and show some humility? False arrogance isn't the shield you think it is little guy
