Anyone who doubts this should watch all of Threads. It's probably still on YouTube somewhere.

one time i drove to denver from saint louis and you have to go through kansas which is like 700 miles of pure corn fields and self loathing. it had been hours since i left kansas city and i wasn't even loving halfway done with the drive, exhausted and hungry, and not excited for whatever bullshit food opportunities i could find at Fort Riley. then i saw it. Off the interstate, projecting its dim light with one out of it's four fluorescent light bulbs i saw it - All You Can Eat. Chinese. Buffet.

i ate the gently caress out of that chinese buffet. it was the best i've ever been to.

What do high school proms look like in such towns?

I lived in a metro area near a navy base, but not really a military town, and any school dance was always plagued by a few motards dating a student who would show up drunk or try to strut and pick fights with kids 3 years their junior.

All You Can Eat Chinese Buffets are the main thing keeping rural/red state America going at this point I think.

most chinese buffets are fronts so the triad can launder money because of how buffets report income so you're helping someone who probably hates whitey when you eat at one
