Also, take it from a squid- clams don’t meditate. They’re big gooey messes of anxiety in a shell.

    Here’s what I got when I mentioned a popular 24hr American diner chain a month back:

    Pretty great. It made me rethink the post actually. Probably 1% of my comments/posts are indistinguishable from advertisements… sometimes I’ll end up self censoring.

    For example, did you notice I didn’t mention the diner was Denny’s, who for a limited time is INTRODUCING: THE BERRY WAFFLE SLAM® (Breakfast in a Liège of its own)?

      I didn’t know you could mention Denny’s without a story about someone winding up in a fistfight in the parking lot.

      We don’t have one where I live, and the rumor mill about why the last one closed was that it was the result of a knife fight one early early morning between a couple of prostitutes who got blood everywhere and the owner decided “fuck it, not worth keeping open.”

        I believe it.

        Went to one that had 60” flatscreens throughout the diner, all streaming the CCTV feed.

        Assumed at 3am it’s easiest to get across potential consequences of actions to rowdy drunks by pointing at a screen that actually shows the misbehavior live.
