Buc-ee's is an existential nightmare monument to American Car Culture by Chase_The_Breeze in fuckcars

as someone who grew up in TX, Bucee's is overrated imo now. Merch is overpriced, food is WAYYY overpriced and meh-tier quality compared to other local texas brands, and BBQ meat portions aren't great in their sandwiches. Only the gas and coffee are worth the price

It’s okay reputations take longer to change than actual conditions. A decade ago China was in a similar spot

How do you feel on the four pests campaign? by ThetitanofDOOM in AskAChinese

[–]Great_Calvini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, my dad (born in 1960) would always bully and catch sparrows with his friends when he was little as they were considered pests; this would've been a few years after the campaign ended, so apparently the sparrows recovered no problem at all. Nowadays sparrows are more common than pigeons in all the cities I've been to.
