All tire places are closed Sundays for some reason. I got on a flat on a Sunday once and the only place I could get it fixed was at a Wal-Mart.

My uncle, thankfully by marriage to my aunt and not any biological relation, used to call my kindergarten-age cousin a "little human being" for running around the house in briefs. Which of course his mother had bought for him, because he was a loving child who had no say over his underwear, and I don't think they even make kid-sized boxers. That cousin's in middle school now, and needless to say has some issues.

I'm really hoping my cousin turns out gay, because gently caress that uncle.

Not in a "prove him right" sort of way, just because he's the kind of rear end in a top hat who would be really disturbed by having his son turn out to be gay and could stand to learn a lesson.

I'm not a star trek fan, so forgive me if this is a stupid/naive question.

Was there as big a kerfuffle about Worf marrying a white woman in, I think DS9?

Or was that OK, because Worf is Kilingon, and if I remember right, the woman wasn't actually a woman but a 1,000 year old parasitic worm who could inhabit bodies of any gender.
That was in 1995, so while modern times have proven I'm sure there were many people against interracial relationships at the time, the internet was too young for them to have a place to say it publicly. I don't remember hearing any chatter about it on Star Trek boards and the like at the time, other than by people upset it had wrecked the Worf/Troi stuff they'd started to set up at the end of TNG.

The much bigger issue involved with DS9 was when Dax, the aforementioned 1,000 year old worm inhabiting a woman at the time, got in a relationship with another worm woman. I think it was the first same-sex kiss in syndicated television or some minor milestone like that. The problem was the head of Star Trek at Paramount at the time was homophobic and wouldn't let any gay characters appear, so they were very clear in the episode that the only reason they were in a relationship was because they were in a previous relationship as a man and a woman. It was a very half-assed and phoned-in attempt at pushing boundaries. The Star Trek Wiki has a lot more info about its reception: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Rejoined_(episode).

It wasn't until Star Trek Beyond in 2016 when they retconned Sulu as gay that Star Trek had an official gay character, and if I remember right even then they just showed him holding hands with another man. Star Trek has a pretty disgraceful track record with homosexuality for as progressive as people credit it as being.

The Dixie Chicks could lose the 'Dixie' from their name and still do fine, because 'The Chicks' isn't a world away from where they started and some people probably called them that anyway. But the only noteworthy part of the name 'Lady Antebellum' is the word they're trying to distance themselves from.
Speaking of that...

They're currently gone. I'm sure they'll come back again at some point.
The chicken tenders were one of the menu items that disappeared at the start of COVID as part of the pandemic menu streamlining. I'm not sure how many of the removed items were actual supply chain streamlining and how many were more just them seeing an opportunity to cut some underperformers. I think almost every other fast food restaurant has gone back to their full menu by now, which leads me to think the latter.

Except for Taco Bell, whose menu is just a sad echo of what it was a year ago. Bring back the Mexican pizza and some form of chicken burrito you fucks.

Every time it comes on, which is like 10 times a day, I'm annoyed that they missed the perfect opportinuty to re-record it as "When You're Ready Eat Spaghetti".

As-is there really isn't a dumb marketing move here, but I keep getting "When You're Ready Eat Spaghetti" stuck in my head whenever it comes on and I needed to inflict it on others.
