Apparently there *are* leaders of the boycott and that article is lying.

I'm sorry, there were leaders of this boycott? I thought we all just collectively said fuck that over their decision to cave to MAGA racism and doubled down on it when they started letting ICE use their parking lots and bathrooms.

One service guy made it in! Which is extra great because I cannot do that job. Quotes, orders, shipping? Sure. Repairs? Nope.

Amazing to find two Lazarus species still surviving that had only been found in fossil records!

Oh is it the day before the complicated emailer goes out that I haven’t finished yet and now everyone else is out with the flu? You don’t say.

We are a very small company, so not that impressive really, but it definitely shuts most people up.

That's a pretty great origin story though too! πŸ˜‚

Love keeping that in my back pocket. No one expects the inside sales person to whip out a Vice President signature when they've crossed the line.

Spoke too soon. Worst customer just emailed our Accounting Department and the guy who hasn't worked here for 10+ years (as he's been told many times) attempting to do an end run. Had them forward it to me and he got the polite but firm 'I am Vice President of this company and I said No' email.

A break through! He asked for item specs! A thing, once again, on every sales confirmation and invoice they have ever received.

His follow up is why. Like I have not been explaining this for the last two weeks.

Got a response from worst customer to my email letting them know we are not accepting orders from them any more.

"Well, we are going to continue buying, don't worry."

My entire family is now agnostic, so that confirmation class strategy did a bang up job. A+, would send my hypothetical 11 year old.

Hilariously that youth pastor paid me $100 to read the bible in a desperate attempt to convince me of Lutheranism. (Easy money for me, I was a hyperlexic 11 year old.) Which led me to a solid year of reading every holy text I could get my hands on and then declaring I was an atheist.

To the youth pastor's credit, she was very supportive of questions and had an unending stream of patience. I wasn't even the reason my parents ended up getting kicked out* of that church!

*Excommunicated for not tithing their salaries. My parents: Tithe rules? In /our/ Lutheranism? No.

Confirmation class. They taught us the history of Christianity and the Catholic church, detailing how they changed both the religion and the holy texts to fit their aims, then dropped the Martin Luther bomb and expected us to *accept the rest of it*. They introduced logic into the imagination fight!

Also where are the sauces?? How is there no horseradish or chimichurri in a little pot on my table? I would eat less meat and be happier!

Things they should bring to your table on a giant skewer and don’t:
- pork belly
- shrimps
- rotisserie hens (like medieval times mini chicken sized)
- an actually edible pork sausage like kielbasa
- onions
- potatoes
- portabello mushroom

07.03.2026 21:50 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Worst items:
- garlic steak (actually unchewable, no one could swallow it)
- sausage (tasted like pork offcuts and organ meats, not enough pork fat included and under seasoned)

Most controversial and sadly somehow the only pork (!?!) - parmesan encrusted pork. I was on the liked it side, but why is it encrusted with sawdust grocery parmesan and not real grated parmesan?

A ranking of the best things they bring to your table in the endless meat swarm:

1. Halloumi with honey
2. Filet
3. Pineapple
4. Lamb
5. Top Sirloin

The mid-tier is the bacon wrapped beef of somekind that I did not hear what it was, the bacon wrapped chicken, and the flank steak.

Okay that does sound like a good place on a day like that! I don’t eat red meat often and I even more rarely eat steak so it was a shocking amount for me lol.

Went to brunch at Fogo de Chao for a family birthday. How does anyone consume that much meat?!?

CNN: Approval for President Trump's East Wing ballroom project – from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation's capital – is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.

Some day I'm going to actually manage to be online when the new stuff goes on sale. I missed out on the skeleton frog at Halloween and I'm still sad about it.

It’s my understanding that chats and information for each client are kept separate. Each user essentially has their β€œown” Claude, and those Claudes do not have access to each other’s logs, so it cannot know why a different Claude did something. It’s simply fabricating a response.

As You Like It slaps so hard. It’s always been my favorite too. And you are absolutely right about all the others!
