I read that post mentioning Twin Peaks, went to Google it, disassociated, and then considered coming back here to tell you guys about this Hooters knock off I just found and whether it's better or worse than Hooters
If Twin Peaks isn’t just the bar from the show then why let it exist

In the Southeast US at least, Twin Peaks has been killing hooters business aside from college towns where Hooters had a foothold. Most of the Hooters in Nashville are in seedy strip mall parking lots. Same in a lot of Alabama (just cause they were first and those strip malls used to be less seedy)
The real winner in the "boobs and butt with your food" is the Tilted Kilt.
Cause nothing says "sexy dining" like upskirt skirts and par boiled steak
I recently found out that one of the few good places left for live music here is being gutting over the summer and turned into a Twin Peaks (discount Hooters), when Hooters has already gone out of business three times here in the last couple of decades, and I'm still super salty about it.
And it's being done by one of the people who own what was our best venue for national acts coming through that they turned into a wedding event center.
Oh and they're claiming that their discount Hooters is going to employ 150 people which yeah, no, it's not.
Fuck off and leave our music venues alone, you shitbirds.
Quick someone gimme a couple of million to buy it out from under them.
What the FUCK
You can’t open a place called TWIN PEAKS and just make it a hooters this is the most infuriating thing I read today
And I strongly suspect that college football and Texas are both to blame.
See the NDSU Bison have ended up going to the championship in Frisco, TX for the last 9 years and have won 8 of them. So the boosters who drive down there and basically take over the city for a weekend end up going to all the nearby bars.
There's apparently a Twin Peaks (possibly the original? I dunno) that's close to the stadium where the Bison play. I have a feeling that the real estate guys who are doing this are big boosters because just about everyone with money in this city are.
9 dead, 17 critically injured, they arrested 177 people at the place but fucked up the prosecution so bad the new prosecutor cut loose the last defendants
This project has finally given me the opportunity to forgive the women who rejected and tormented me. After decades of hurt and resentment, I now see them as they were — young girls experiencing their own trials and tribulations, some common to many of us, others more painful than I can imagine.
this upwelling of compassion!
There was a male version of this on some NPR show? , I think it was. There was less outright apologizing and more I didn't mean it that way and I am not changing my behavior. Strangely this still seemed to help both of them.
I can't remember what show. It was interesting though.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them

I'd probably have a beer with most of the people who bullied me in school if I met them today. Hell I'm coming up on my 20 year reunion this year so maybe I will.
I'd almost put up with it being lumberjack Hooters if they were bringing actual TX BBQ up here but they're absolutely not. Their menu is pretty generic and covered by a lot of restaurants that are already here.

Well, technically 155 grand jury indictments but it looks like no convictions. Which doesn't surprise me too much because dealing with MCs can be very similar to dealing with the mafia.
It's a pretty great example of why when I hang out with MCs I know what my exit strategy is at all times though.

I love the constraints of valheim building, with just 26º and 45º roof pitches, plus the, what, 8 part angles? By not having things be totally freeform, it makes it easier to explore weird architectural concepts. I see a lot of wild butterfly roofs, and wedge roofs on stilts where the open end is used as a smoke vent.
I don't think I've ever seen a game where players so readily create such pleasing and unconventional building shapes. Half of all the buildings on my server look like some architect's hobby-home.
Contrast with minecraft, where only the absolute best designers made structures that weren't ugly, or other survival crafting games where everything is so expensive it's always some variant of a box-hovel.

They exist!
It's just that if you're going to rallies and whatnot you're gonna have to deal with outlaw MCs. My roommate's dad was president what was essentially a firefighter MC.
Though that's probably a bad example because the guy who replaced him was trying to push the club in a more outlaw direction which is why her dad left any and all leadership roles and now really only hangs talks to members that were in when he was president.

Glover appeared on Late Night with David Letterman on July 28, 1987 to promote River's Edge. Unknown to Letterman and the audience, Glover appeared in character as Rubin from the then-unreleased film Rubin and Ed, wearing platform shoes and a wig. Rather than a conventional interview, Glover staged an Andy Kaufman-like prank. After being goaded by a woman in the audience (who some argue had been planted), Glover stated he "knew that this was gonna happen" and "the press, they can do things, they can twist things around." After challenging Letterman to an arm-wrestling match, Glover delivered an impromptu karate kick a few feet from Letterman while stating "I'm strong...I can kick!" Letterman then abruptly ended the segment by walking off stage, saying "I'm going to check on the Top 10," as the program cut to commercial.
The subsequent confusion and controversy surrounding his appearance was compounded by the fact that Rubin and Ed was not released until 1991. However, the film had been in development since before Back to the Future, and Glover already had devised Rubin's "look" by 1985. Glover has refused to go into detail about the reasons for his behavior on the show, other than to mention that he was flattered that fans are still speculating on the performance decades later. He also stated that he prefers there to be an "air of mystery" about the appearance. In an interview in 2011, Back to the Future co-star Michael J. Fox talked about the incident with Letterman, saying "Crispin isn't crazy, just excitable."

I had a weird codependent relationship with a girl who was very cruel to me in junior high school
We met again a while later when we were, like, maybe both freshman in college or something like that? It was a weird experience. She clearly realized that the way she had treated me wasn't ok and she was a bit awkward. Like she felt some new power differential where as an adult I had the upper hand because of her past bad behavior. For my part, I wasn't trying to forgive her, because she had really been awful and it's not like she tried to atone or anything, but I also wasn't trying to come for her either. Instead, it's more that I just didn't care. I didn't care about either forgiving her or not forgiving her, because I didn't care at all, because I had moved on.
Weird vibe seeing someone that used to terrorize you and then being safe and grown up and just not giving a shit.

The wings were good and there was a 12 year old there having a birthday celebration with an obviously part-time dad and it was great

There aren't that many gay strip clubs. I did hunt down and go to one, but it wasn't much like the image I got from the Sopranos and other straight culture. Instead it was an offset stage with very acrobatic and not particularly erotic dancing. And there were a couple dance clubs I went to that did have go-go boys working the floor/bar, and that was closer, but still very different insofar as those were super packed dance establishments.
I would like to go have fun at a real gay strip club in principle, but I suspect I'm too uptight to enjoy it.
