GROK ON FREDDY'S CUSTARD & STEAKBURGERS: The high leanness, lean beef can taste less flavorful/juicy than fattier 80/20 blends
Wow. When Grok acknowledges the bad taste and smell of Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers hamburger meat, you know you're not delusional or "it's only you." You're getting confirmation from the "collective" or aggregate sites. Grok explains,
Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers uses 100% lean ground beef for their "steakburgers" (which are their hamburgers/burgers).
Well, there's your fist mistake. You don't want lean. You want the fattier version, the 80%/20%, not the 90%/10%. Yuk.
They describe it as premium beef, pressed thin and cooked-to-order for crispy edges, but they don't publicly disclose a specific single supplier or brand name for the ground beef on their official site (freddys.com) or in most public info.
Okay, so we don't know what we're getting or where we're getting it from, or from what animal. Do they partner with Bill Gates' Beyond Burger? God help us.
Their nutrition/allergen page notes that info is based on "average values for ingredients from Freddy's suppliers" (plural), suggesting they source from multiple or varying suppliers depending on location/region.
No surprise here. It'd obviously be better to have the meat sourced from a single farm, but I don't know how bad it is to have a hodge-podge of meats from different farms. No rancher would address that, nor would any carnivore aficionado.
Like many fast-casual chains [wait, what happened to the food? Shouldn't it read "fast-food chain"?], they probably use large foodservice distributors (e.g., Sysco, US Foods, or similar) that provide ground beef from various packing houses. There's no indication it's from a premium branded source like some places use (e.g., no mentions of Angus or specific ranches).
For comparison: Their hot dogs are specifically Vienna Beef, but burgers aren't tied to one publicized beef brand.
.jpg)
Regarding the bad smell/taste you experienced (like "McDonald's bad" — often described as overly processed, off, or ammonia-like in some complaints):
Freddy's emphasizes fresh, cooked-to-order patties (not pre-frozen or pre-cooked like some fast food), and they market it as higher quality with lean beef.
However, there are scattered customer complaints online (e.g., on Reddit, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube reviews) about the meat tasting bland, dry, off, or low-quality at times — some call it "garbage" or note a weird smell/taste in specific locations. This could stem from:
The high leanness (lean beef can taste less flavorful/juicy than fattier 80/20 blends if not seasoned/cooked perfectly).
Batch-to-batch variation from suppliers.
Okat, so Freddy's partners with platforms like ArrowStream, a supply chain management tool for foodservice operators, announced in 2023, . . . but doesn't name the beef source. K2D Foods was also cited as a source of Freddy's burgers.
Location-specific issues (storage, freshness, or cooking).
Or just personal taste — some love the thin, crispy style; others find it underwhelming compared to juicier burgers.
If it's consistently bad at your local spot, it might be worth contacting that specific Freddy's (via their app/site contact form or in-person) or corporate through freddys.com/contact-us — they encourage feedback. Sometimes it's a one-off freshness issue.
If this isn't the Freddy's you meant (e.g., a local place or something else), give more details like the full name/location! Otherwise, their beef is standard premium lean ground from commercial suppliers, not a secret fancy source.

The Marshmallow Test: Why Self-Control is the Engine of Success, Walter Mischel, 2015.
Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Carol S. Dweck, 2007. Those who succeed in life have a growth mindset. Resilience.
K. Anders Ericsson, Deliberate Practice. People who succeed practice strategically. Self-reflection, constantly thinking about yourself as a student.
Instructor is Jiang Xueqin.
Dunning Kruger Effect. Hardest part of being a student is to assess yourself properly and know where you stand and how to improve. Those who are stupid are often the most confident in the world, what is called the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Often the people in power are stupid. They don't know they're stupid, they were confident, but they do stupid things . . . .
Correlation does not = Causation. Just because things are correlated does not mean they cause each other.
Just because you get up at 4am in the morning, doesn't mean you're going to succeed.
Just because you work hard, doesn't mean you're going to succeed.
Just because you're resilient, doesn't mean you're going to succeed.
Just because you have a growth mindset does not mean you succeed.
If you're successful in life, you'll have more self-control.
If you're successful, you'll have more resilience.
If you're successful, you're more humble in life.
If you're rich, you become successful, and therefore you will have a growth mindset, self-control, deliberate practice. But isolated, just because you have growth mindset, self-control, deliberate practice doesn't mean you'll be successful.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN, AND ULTIMATELY WHO SUCCEEDS?
Rich people are more likely to succeed than poor people. From macroeconomic studies, we know that school doesn't really matter how well you do in school. If your parents are rich, you'll be successful in life. If your parents are poor, you will not be successful in life.
PARENTING STRATEGIES VS. RICH & POOR
From different parenting styles, we understand why rich kids perform differently from poor kids.
What is a marshmallow Test? Marshmallow Test is not a test of control; it’s a test of your trust in others. If you believe that the teacher who goes outside, if you believe that he comes back and will keep his promise, then you will not eat that marshmallow. But if you think that the teacher lied to me, then you are going to eat that marshmallow. So it’s not about self-control; it’s about your belief and trust in authority figures.
I can't align myself with his reductive point that rich parents determines success.
If you’re rich, you have stability. But if you’re poor, you have no stability, so you’re actually better off eating that marshmallow rather than waiting for that second marshmallow, because, guess what? Most of the time, you will not get that second marshmallow.

LIAM OUT LOUD: So learn to be thankful for enemies rather than perplexed or angered by them.
Liam DeBoer @ YouTube.
Liam Out Loud @ Instagram.
Liam Out Loud @ Facebook.
If you find yourself feeling annoyed, angry, or impatient with the world or the people in it, I have some advice worth taking seriously. Negative emotions are almost always the result of reality failing to meet our expectations. You have no control over the world or the people in it. Most people barely have control over themselves. That leaves only one variable that you can govern reasonably: your expectations.
Marcus Aurelius understood this well. He advised beginning each morning by reminding yourself that you'll encounter the busybody, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, and unsocial. Once you accept this frame, once you accept that undesirable people exist and always will, you stop feeling shocked or personally wronged when you encounter them. Go a step further, and admit that parts of you are undesirable as well and the reaction softens more. You're no longer offended. You are simply meeting expectations. At that point, irritation gives way to something more useful, gratitude even. Why wouldn't you want to learn from someone else's mistakes instead of paying the full cost of making them yourself? With this mindset, angry, bitter, resentful, lazy, and ignorant people you encounter are no longer obstacles that you failed to avoid. They become walking lessons. The wise man encounters a fool and improves himself. The fool encounters a fool and acts foolishly. There may even be something shameful in allowing such people to unsettle us. As Epictetus put it, if someone were to hand your body over to a stranger, you would be outraged; yet you think nothing of handing over your mind to anyone who provokes you allowing it to be disturbed and confused. So learn to be thankful for enemies rather than perplexed or angered by them. Used properly, they become fuel for self-improvement. Used poorly, they drag you down into the same resentment that consumes them.

After slavery was abolished in Brazil in 1888, the country’s leaders feared the newly freed Black majority and sought to reshape the nation’s population. They promoted “blanqueamiento” (whitening), a state policy rooted in racist ideology that aimed to reduce the presence of Black and Indigenous people through immigration and mixing with Europeans. Between 1880-1930, Brazil encouraged the arrival of more than 4 million European immigrants, mainly Italians, Portuguese, Germans, and Spaniards, to work on plantations and in cities. The government believed that interracial marriage would gradually “dilute” African and Indigenous ancestry, producing a whiter population over generations. This policy was even supported by intellectuals of the time, who framed it as a path to “progress” and “modernization.”

You see a "war on Iran." I see a preemptive strike against a shifting global architecture. To understand why the eagles are circling Tehran, you must look past the smoke of the refineries and see the geopolitical and geo-economical three-dimensional chess board of 2026. 1. The Real Target: The "Silk Road" Spine Iran is not just a rogue state; it is the physical and ideological bridge for China’s Belt and Road Initiative and Russia’s "Fortress Eurasia." Beijing imports nearly half of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz. By controlling the "faucet" in the Persian Gulf, the U.S. gains a structural veto over the Chinese economy. 2. The Defense of the "King Dollar" For decades, the world’s "exorbitant privilege" has been the U.S. dollar's role as the global reserve currency, backed by oil trade and maritime security. Iran has been the pioneer of the petro-yuan, trading energy for Chinese currency and bypassing the SWIFT system. 3. Protecting the Equity Bubble This is perhaps the most cynical truth seen from the banks of the Potomac. The U.S. economy is currently a "High-Wire Act." With the S&P 500 top-heavy (MAG8) and valuations stretched to historical limits, any stagnation in "growth" could pop the bubble.

The Catholic women in the video are forming a human chain to protect the Templo de Nuestra Señora del Carmen (Church of Our Lady of Carmen), a 17th-century neoclassical Catholic church located at Calle del Carmen 116 in the historic center of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
This took place during the International Women's Day march on March 8, 2026, where some radical demonstrators attempted to vandalize churches and other sites amid broader protests. The church features a stone facade with columns and is part of a former Carmelite convent complex, now partially used for cultural offices.
