That's all fine, but what card did I choose?

I just made the mistake of buying Vegan Donuts...

The rare sweet craving and looking for carb boost after heavy gym session. I stumbled across a donut shop on the way home. I walk in and see the store staff with like blue hair, that should have been my warning to walk out. I also see an effeminate walking past me with a box, and then some dyke ringing out her box and still I don't walk out.

At this point I'm examining the donuts to see the selection and I'm getting annoyed as I can't find a simple chocolate dip or a glazed. In my opinion, a donut shop is nudged by its most simple donuts. A simple chocolate dip or glazed is actually not that easy to pull off because you can't hide a subpar donut or topping, it is the equavivalant of the simple Neapolitan pizza with the sauce, mozzarella and basil. I see silly shut like tumeric in the glaze and hibiscus. Growing more frustrated I get their version of a Boston creme and a vanilla dip variant with some cookie crumbs on it as these are two closest to simple donuts I would ever eat..

I ring out and realized the mistake I just made. I see "Vegan" in black on the signs of the donuts I just picked out. I asked "can I swap these for non vegan?". She then tells me everything dough wise is vegan, and it would be toppings that are vegan versus not. I'm annoyed at this point and ask if there will be a big texture different since this is fucking reason you eat a home style donut t( begin with. She goes in to tell me that it is the same. Of course I know she is full of shit as you can't trust s woman with blue hair.

I walk home and take a bite.....

Nasty. Texture is just like a dumpy baked from frozen crap donut you would get at Time Hortons or Dunkin Donuts. Chocolate is far to dark and with no richness and with the stuff donut it does not give a good mouth feel, also the custard filling was weak which shouldn't be surprising as there would likely be no egg. The vanilla dip topping was okay but the stiff donut didn't help it stand out, cookie tooling didn't add much as there wasn't there much texture and the rich dark flavour from the first donut would have been better on here as a drizzle to balance out the sweet of the vanilla dip.

I took a bite of each and threw them out. Disgusting and not worth the $8 I just paid.

These hipppy lesbian establishmets with all their vegan trash. They have all the bight colours and indeed make it look appetizing but you take a bite and realize this shit food is just fundamentally wrong.

Vegan food is disgusting.

With regards to Veganism. Any of you seen those videos with some big muscle dude saying his Veganism is the reason he looks like he does? Laugh People dont challenge him because of his size/background.

He would be an easy troll target.

Off for a nearly 2-week long trip to Serbia, Hungary and Poland tomorrow.

Booked it just over a month ago, so it was pretty spontaneous. Made sure to avoid the Catholic countries during their Easter and Orthodox ones during theirs. Still remember how Polish cities went completely dead over the Easter weekend. The same bar that would usually have 120 people on a Friday night, barely had 15 on Good Friday.

Really looking forward to it. Be great to be back in Wroclaw after 3 years. More so curious after reading the latest pages of the "Poland" thread.

Vegan donuts are a Satanic Inversion of this wholesome and beloved all-American dessert.

It's Luciferian mockery of the God-given natural order.

You think it's a coincidence that this store was staffed and frequented by blue-haired witches, sodomites and other assorted degenerates?
Think again.

God, in his infinite love and generosity, provides for all of us.
He even provides for the Vegans, for just like the rest of us, they too are his children.

Naturally he has created perfect and true Vegan desserts for them. Delicious, plentiful and accessible to all.
Such is the greatness of God's plan!

What do we call them?

Fruits.

And by their fruits ye shall know them.

Anyone seen the now infamous Walrus scene in the new Our Planet series on Netflix? Walruses climbing a high mountain, getting stuck and then falling one by one to their deaths below.

It was pretty nasty and like many I had to fast forward the footage in front of my youngest.

Attenborough doing the commentary (naturally) preached solemnly about it being a consequence of climate change. I wasn't fully buying that, but thought no more about it.

Now, there are rumblings on the internet that (as ever) things weren't exactly as they seemed;

https://reaction.life/netflix-getting-ev...cumentary/

Quote:The new Netflix show Our Planet has quickly become very controversial. The focus of concern has been a sequence in which Pacific walruses fall from cliffs in the Siberian Arctic to their deaths. This, Sir David Attenborough claimed in his narration, was down to climate change, which had melted the sea ice and forced the walruses ashore.

But it wasn’t long before some fairly large holes began to appear in the story. One commentator pointed out a newspaper report of polar bears driving hundreds of walruses over the cliffs at a Siberian site called Cape Kozhenikova, a tiny peninsula around half a square kilometre in area, near the village of Ryrkaypiy. When it was subsequently shown beyond doubt that this was the location where the Netflix team had obtained their footage, alarm bells started to sound.

To cut a long story short, they are basically saying that 1) This has always happened 2) In this instance it was due to the proximity of the humans filming them/nearby polar bears stalking them/camera drones spooking them.

Fucking hell. If any of this can be proved, it would almost be a killing blow for the whole climate-change brigade.

First 7-Eleven store in India to open this year, pact signed with Future Retail

Quote:New Delhi: The world’s largest chain of convenience stores, 7-Eleven, will make its India debut later this year.

Mumbai-based Future Group-owned Future Retail said on Thursday it has signed a master franchise agreement through its subsidiary, SHME Food Brands, with 7-Eleven Inc. to develop and operate 7-Eleven stores in Asia’s third-largest economy.

“7-Eleven stores could open over the next few months, starting with Mumbai," said Kishore Biyani, founder and group chief executive officer, Future Group.

This will make India the company’s 18th market.


Biyani declined to give details on number of stores, but added that the company is targeting revenues of $1 billion over the next 7-8 years.

Under the agreement, 7-Eleven will support Future Retail in implementing and localizing the unique 7-Eleven business model, the two companies said in a stock exchange filing. Future Group will add new stores and even convert some of its existing ones to 7-Elevens, they said.

Future Retail will be allowed to do sub-franchising as part of the agreement.

Japanese-owned and US-headquartered 7-Eleven has a network of over 67,000 stores the world over. The chain runs small-format convenience stores that stock an assortment of fresh and packaged foods, beverages and items of daily use, and has a presence in markets such as Thailand, the US, and Japan.

The stores in India will focus on fresh and packaged food tailored to Indian tastes, Biyani said. “It will be more food-driven and a very urban- centric format. We will be open 24 hours wherever we can," he said. “I think the urban markets are ready for a format where customers can get their lunch, breakfast, dinner, a lot of food and convenience items."

For now, the chain will focus only on urban areas, he said. “The aim is to go deeper in big cities. We will target busy areas. We have identified corporate parks, educational institutes, bus stops, colleges, and airports."

Future Group is among the largest retailers in India with a presence across supermarkets, grocery stores, electronics, apparel, and other formats. It operates 1,440 stores in more than 400 cities across its Big Bazaar, Easy Day, Nilgiri’s, Fashion at Big Bazaar, and Central formats, among others.

India’s $795 billion retail trade is still dominated by mom-and-pop stores. The share of modern retail trade here was pegged at 9% of the overall retail trade as of 2017. By 2021, the share of modern trade is expected to go up to 18%, driven by a consumer shift towards convenience formats, according to estimates from a February report by Deloitte.

The country has a handful local players such as Modi Enterprises-owned Twenty Four Seven, RJ Corp-owned J-Mart, and In&Out, which operate in the modern convenience store format.

“The organised convenience store format has seen no large, national players," said Ankur Bisen, vice president, retail and consumer products, at consulting firm Technopak. “However, the format can see demand from select urban pockets given the supply of quality real-estate," said Bisen.

“In our view, cracking the convenience store format will be difficult and may include long gestation period in a sharp expansion phase. 7-Eleven, however, will have a higher chance of success given offerings of beverages and food and hence acting as quasi QSR player," financial services firm Jefferies said in a note on Thursday.

I don't get it. 7 ÷ 11 = 0.63636363. How does that relate to the current year? It's irrational.

Yep, I saw it. #1 rule about anything (article, documentary) talking about g̶l̶o̶b̶a̶l̶ ̶c̶o̶o̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ g̶l̶o̶b̶a̶l̶ ̶w̶a̶r̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ global climate change is they're lying to you.

It's a shame the "scientific community" has driven us to these generalizations, but it's completely politicized.

It's so politicized, I don't even look those things up anymore. I just assume bull-shit.

Good post though, glad my general rule is validated yet again.

There are few things as complex and with more variables than the Earth's climate, so whenever you hear someone talking about it, just keep that in mind.

This should work as 7-11 in Asia is very different then the dumpy dried out wing and weak coffee spots we got here in North America. They will just package Indian food in easy to consume materials and make it accessible and available just like in Asia where you can get your meal and toilet paper in one go. You just wonder if they will have bathrooms there ... Sleepy

Fire captain arrested after dared to make naked 7-11 trip[/b]

John Walsh, 60, walked into a convenience store to purchase a Diet Coke completely naked, on a dare from his girlfriendApr 12, 2019
By FireRescue1 Staff

MIDDLETOWN, R.I. — A fire captain was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after walking into a convenience store completely naked.

WHDH reported that John H. Walsh, 60, walked into a 7-11 without any clothes on after girlfriend, Tammy McDougal, 29, dared him to go inside and purchase a Diet Coke.

According to the store clerk, who wished to remain anonymous, Walsh approached the counter with a “smile on his face.”

“It’s not funny at all,” the cashier said in an interview. “In fact, it’s very scary when you have someone come in, completely naked in the middle of the day. He was extremely comfortable in the store, handed me the Coke, and smiled, never said anything.”

The cashier also believes McDougal should face consequences, as well.

“It’s absolutely the worst thing that ever occurred in my life. I really think this man should have to register as a sex offender. What he did is horrible,” she said. “What his girlfriend did was horrible, and she should be charged as well.”

Walsh was appointed to the Lynnfield Fire Department in 1979 by Chief Glenn Davis, who said the department is taking the situation “very seriously.” Walsh is on paid administrative leave pending an investigation.
