I'm depressed so I drove 8 hours to get Buc-ee's

[@dishcleaner2]

Buccees is the pinnacle of America. Step foot in there and you’ll know what it feels like an American, no matter where you’re from. That and the Free Burd solo have that effect

[@ZacMorris-i5b]

Well that’s pretty sad that a gas station and junk food are the pinnacle of the United States.

[@oliverchristoph6092]

American Black Metal bands shouldn't write lyrics about the ancient and withstanding sentinels of the American forests and what once stood. Most denizens of this land don't truly hold a connection to its wilderness like the lands real honest natives. THIS! This is the West's depression. Driving towards the mundane and getting an honest to goodness flicker of life and hope. Nothing resonates more in the American---'Us' than the absolute mundane. I don't speak on this with judgement however you may have toned my comment. I truly know this feeling. A march through endless time to find the smallest of things truly feels worth it in our eyes. Brazenly so. There is quiet in the ordinary.

It comforts me to know I'm not the only one with this kind of wanderlust in my heart.❤️

[@cactimungus9628]

Reminds me of the time I drove 5 hours to my old home. I was going thru some shit and it just felt like the right thing to do. Long story short, it was. I spent so long reminiscing on the times I was a kid living there, but when I got there, I saw how much the town changed. I changed, too. It taught me that many things should stay in the past.

[@justing6594]

Sucks your depressed. It's kool thought you drove to buckees. I'm from Baltimore to!

@ The valley of despair no doubt. My preferred combo is six double cheese burgers (two extra for the next day, it is a long drive after all), large French fries, a large cola or the thematic equivalent of two RC colas for the best price. If the drive through girl is pleasant enough (and she is) I will ask for Mac sauce on the double cheeseburgers. Thus, the combotic cycle continues… COMBOS!!!!
