Chick-fill-A and Hobby Lobby are part of the same asshole Christian subspecies, do crazy shit like stealing/buying stolen artifacts, and being super anti-gay and anti-trans.

Oh and Chick-fil-A’s did is trash. I tried it before I learned the company sucked, not long after it first moved into Chicagoland. Not only is the chicken bland AF - including the “spicy” chicken - but they managed to somehow make waffle fries taste bleh. How the hell do you even fuck up waffle fries? I can’t understand how these assholes stay in business in the area with chicken that’s worse than what I can get at Burger King, much less any of a million small local places and chains.

Do they still charge by the word? Character? Whatever? Because that’s funny lol. If papers still mattered that would have cost them a fortune.

Right, it’s not like I literally need that money to pay my rent or anything.

Hold on, let’s ask George Washington and see what he says, oh right, fuck you traitor.

Benedict Arnold at least had an understandable (if stupid) reason to flip sides. Trump’s just an idiot.

Look I hate furries as much as the next sane person, but this is just stupid. Leave the damn kids alone.

Can you change the name? Changing it to something radically different would get the job done. Especially if it’s weird and gross

No there’s really people that stupid. It’s tragic.

Define long form? Under an hour is about all I can take.

Most people don’t need to worry about the NSA listening to them write down stuff.

It’s probably genetic, like bitter vegetables (blech) or cilantro (tasty).

You see when any kind of asshole wants to be an asshole, they’ll say some things. If you like and/or agree, it’s all good with them. If you get offended then they get to be a different kind of asshole because you don’t like them being an asshole. They are banking on most people’s unwillingness to be confrontational and call them on their bullshit, especially women, minorities, or members of any other vulnerable group.

There’s only two functional counters to their assholery; either be confrontational and be a bigger but contextually justified asshole to them until they fuck off, or retreat. While counterattacking is more likely to get them to back down or realize they can’t always be an asshole, it comes with inherent risks that make most people avoid it. This is understandable, as you never know what kind of maniac the asshole might be, and local or immediate circumstances might not favor you. However if you’re in a position to put them in your place and willing to accept the any possible harm, it’s morally and ethically justifiable to stand up to them.

Just remember, when the barrier to entry is low then the quality of participants declines.

Edit: I just realized that I should have specified an intellectual barrier. In the case of Lemmy that’s the minuscule technical understanding or research ability needed to sign up and get on an instance. It’s amazing how just that tiny obstructions helps keep out the dumbest of Reddit users.

Black licorice.

Look at those kids holding that sign. Somebody threatened to withhold their food for them to be cooperative.

I’ll bet you could con a few million out of Elon for it.

You asked for this, now enjoy having your pet leopard gnaw your face off.

Time to let my troll off its leash.
