Some of the higher end ones are pretty nice. There's this great seafood buffet in myrtle beach called Crabby Mike's. All you can eat fresh crab that comes out regularly and excellent sides. Also a few insanely good buffets in Vegas.

The fact that golden corral still exists proves that people still love their shitty buffets.

I've become more aware of how unsanitary buffets can be since the scamdemic started. I will continue going to buffets after herd immunity is confirmed by our one and indivisible national government republic and they deem it safe for me and my family

>> No.15861972

>>15861842

I mean just the concept of them is guaranteed to be unsanitary. It's a room full of people touching each others food.

And that's disregarding how the crowd is always slimy fat fucks who don't care about their own health so they definitely don't give a shit about someone else's.

The last time I went to one was a Golden Corral almost 20 years ago. It was just an escalation of disgusting scenes. The climax was when a couple fat Mexican kids started sticking their hands in the chocolate fountain and were just burying their greasy brown faces right into it.

That being said, I do miss being a little kid and not caring about how gross they are. I loved the Chink buffet by my house when I was a kid. Loved the weird neon pink pork on skewers, broccoli beef, those weird crab puff things with a claw sticking out, and the awful pizza.

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

Yes, I was agreeing with you that the sentence as originally written - to wit, "Nobody could stop you, not even yourselves" - is grammatically incorrect. It could be rewritten in standard English as follows without using the emphatic appositive, while retaining the original sense: "Nobody could stop you, not even you."
Of course this strikes the contemporary eye oddly and your suggested rewrite using the emphatic appositive is perfectly adequate as well.

Just wondering if those who thought it was correct grammar have English as native language too. For me I think maybe what made me think it sounded weird is that in Swedish it's not always "you" as in English, it's "ni" when subject and "er" when object. Maybe when I saw "yourselves" I thought of "er själva" which is reflexive, like "yourselves" used reflexively. Then I thought "yourselves" in this case could be like "ni själva" which is not reflexive even though it is also translated as "yourselves". This is the emphatic appositive, "you yourselves".
