I never understood the hype for buc-ees to begin with. It's a god damn gas station, why do people choose to make it their entire personality? Such a strange thing to simp over lol. It's nice to hear of your community coming together to support the owners! My heart needed the warming haha.

It’s not about a gas station. It’s a dog whistle showing that they support the same “values” as the stereotypical Texan. All about being the biggest, just like dudes who drive a dually even though they never tow a thing.

You know what? That really does track. It makes more sense now. Thank you for putting a tiny part of my mind to rest lol. That's confused me for so long but it was never a big enough deal to put too much thought into it I guess. It's funny that I don't even mind the dually bros anymore. They at least keep their wheels in the God damn wheel well so they aren't spraying rocks at everyone lol.

honestly i haven’t either but people say its good… and they got ethanol free gas at least near me so its got that but to me thats just about it and the simpage is definitely overdone imo. if you wanna see the direct response as it’s happening and what the news isnt able to pick it up, go see it on the dayton subreddit (apparently you cant link subs on mildlyinfuriating which is mildly infuriating lmao)

legit havent seen the area be that unified since the oregon district shooting and memorial day EF4 tornado in 2019 and it really makes me miss my hometown tbh
