[OC] What a time to be alive

You are an unfit mother! Your children will be placed in the custody of, CARL'S JUNIOR!

You just know there's a plug chilling right now at that specific Golden Corral

What does this sentence mean
- Someone who sells drugs for a living is at the Golden Corral that sponsored this anti-drug zone sign, likely using it as a place of business.
- Means there's a plug chilling right now at that specific Golden Corral

Does this imply that there is a Drug Filled School Zone?

It's called High School.
Ever been to nyc in the 90s?

What does this even mean? What's a golden corral

It's an all you can eat buffet restaurant.
- Except for the fried chicken. And if you're having that, might as well grab some of the mashed potatoes, which are pretty good, too. And I'm not proud of it, but the macaroni and cheese isn't the absolute worst if you're already there. FINE, I KIND OF LIKE IT, OKAY?
When you think of corpulent, sweaty U.S. southerners waddling into an indoor fried-food trough to compete for the title "most likely to have a stroke", that public feeding location is referred to as a " Golden Corral".
- Nice of them to sponsor all the free drugs for that school, though
- It's golden to represent the color of patrons' blood after they finish drinking an entire gallon of fryer oil

Wait until you find out about sponsored college positions.

What in the deep-fried fuck is a "Taco Bell Distinguished Professor"? Who on earth would take such a title seriously? How embarassing for him.
- Well it says underneath that "hospitality business management," so he could be teaching future managers or something.
  
  Still sounds utterly ridiculous though. But then McDonald's has their own entire college where they teach nothing but McDonald's business management.
I never thought we'd see Idiocracy play out for real in our lifetime.
Also sponsored programs. E.g. "XYZ company provides the space/equipment and gets a pipeline of fresh recruits directly from the college."

I don't know if it's necessarily a bad thing, but it does seem a bit fraught.
- I don’t know if it’s necessarily a bad thing,
  
  Does it actually reduce the student's tuition?

Without drugs Golden Corral would lose its entire 16-45 demographic

What's so fascist about not wanting substances around the kids?

Even stuff as mild as alcohol can create belligerents that can put students in harm's way.

I don't disagree really, but you do have to always consider why some things are considered harmful (and just called drugs) and others not (and usually ignored that they're drugs). For example, I'm sure caffeine is allowed in the school. It's the world's most popular stimulant. It is a drug and is often abused, and many people are addicted without even realizing it. Who gets to decide which drugs are "good" and which are "dangerous?" Are they using a scientific understanding to reach such a conclusion?
- I "discovered" caffeine the summer between 7th and 8th grade. Vanilla lattes changed everything. In high school they sold us sodas and snacks between classes. By 9th grade, I couldn't stay awake through 2nd period (geometry) without drinking a 20 oz. Mt. Dew before class. When I realized what was happening I stopped drinking Mt. Dew. It was a rough couple of weeks. It was my first experience with drug dependence. Informed my approach to drugs for the rest of my life. I got lucky, I suppose.
- Probably not but at least with caffeine there's a societal joke about the horror of children on a caffeine high that keeps the teachers from letting the kids try the first one for free.
  
  If we want to address that all the way though, moving the soda bottles into the nurse's office to be used exclusively for severe headache treatment would be a good start.
Who said anything about this being fascist?
- Probably that other comment (right above this one for me right now,) with this being meant as a reply.
Dude, the problem is that a fucking buffet restaurant is "sponsoring" aka advertising at a grade school.
- I don't like this... On the other hand, I don't fully hate it, because even though it's scummy corporate advertising, they are helping to fund a school.
  
  And maybe being okay with this even remotely is part of the problem.

All you can eat buffet of fascism.

Edit: Lol, yeah, keep the cameras in the schools. Gotta get 'em used to it when they are young so they don't notice them on every street corner when they are adults.
