    Just like when Popeyes did nothing when one of their managers blatantly discriminated against an autistic child for just existing.

      Is that better or worse than Cracker Barrel segregating diners until the aughts, and having to be sued to stop it? Same? Same degree, but less of an issue because it wasn’t systemic (probably)?

      Popeyes is amazing. There’s a dozen in my area. Out of all the national fried chicken chains, easily the best.

      KFC is disgusting. Dave’s Hot Chicken? More like Dave’s Hot garbage. Wingstop? Just stop. I’m not eating the chicken sandwich that hates gay people.

      If you’re asking what the best fried chicken & fried chicken sandwich, unfortunately my city is extremely spoiled with local joints.

        Just to be clear, the chicken sandwich itself holds no ill will to the homosexual community. Sandwiches are generally incapable of hate.

        Sadly, the ghouls that own the company that makes the sandwiches are incapable of reaching the same level of human empathy that an inanimate foodstuff can.

        Aside from that, you ain’t missing much. It tasted weird and sweet 20 years ago when they started selling them here, before the controversy.

            And the lord said, “yeah bb sucky sucky”. And thus, I complied. You ever get a facial from a dude who hasn’t nutted in two thousand years? I thought my edge game was on point but damn.

      If they made fresh chicken that place would be so fire. Unfortunately every time I’ve been there every piece of my meal- chicken, fries, Mac- all taste approximately 4-8 hours old. It’s inedible garbage that tastes as though if it were fresh it would be some of the most bomb chicken I’ve ever had. I’ve even got at different times of day when it would most likely be fresh, but apparently they make all their food at 5AM just for it to sit under heat lamps until they close… then reheat that same trash the following day just to save money.

        I hate that for you. If you find a good Popeye’s it’s really great for fast food. Unfortunately to find a good one you’ve got to look for a line.

        If you’re ever driving thru a rural area, try the fast food there. It tends to be a lot better as it’s in pretty direct competition to family owned restaurants in these areas and therefore tends to be fresher and stuff. Like near my grandpa’s farm the best breakfast around is the IHOP and its the best IHOP I’ve ever been to in my life by far because it has to compete with mom and pops diners at similar price points whereas in more populated areas the mom and pops places tend to be more expensive than fast food.

        if you find yourself there again for some reason order the non breaded strips. can’t remember wha they are called but I have never seen them pre prepare them as there is not enough call to do so. It will be a bit of a wait though. they basically pan fry them and without the breading the spicyness hits that much harder.

    It’d be funny if McDonald’s stock went down for a couple of days and some of the backlash was a corporate no narcing policy.

    Yes you would.

    Yes you absolutely fucking would.

    Shut the fuck up corporate social media.

    A marketing post like this is tone deaf as fuck and an insult to our intelligence to even imply you wouldn’t have. I’m so fucking sick of corporations seeing any internet sensation as an opportunity to cash in and make it about them. Fuck you.

      Pretty sure not reporting a crime and even not assisting in an investigation doesn’t count as obstruction. We aren’t required to assist the justice department do their job. Even when asked to do so. A judge has to be used to legally require information out of a person. Obstruction is usually limited to physical intervention that knowingly and intentionally inhibits the duties of a law-person.

      Psychologist here:

      You’re stuck on number 4 mate.

      It was legal to force African Americans to give up their seats to whites on the bus, until a lot of highly moral activity that was illegal at the time changed that.

      Jim Crow would likely still be in full force today had it not been for adult levels of moral outrage, with accompanying illegal demonstration, that superceded immoral laws.

      It’s a tragic mistake to conflate legality with morality.

          You probably should considering factory farming is a great way to cause pandemics, so maybe it shouldn’t be encouraged?

                The technical term is “autocannibalism”.

                Not to be confused with “autocannonballism”, which is a method of automatically loading old-timey cannon with a da Vincian mechanism of ropes & pulleys.

                  Fascinating, Jim. Now let’s take a look at how one group of horny citizens is turning this Sears from the place to get their holiday photos, into the place to take all your photos and videos taken~. Live from Christi Marketplace, here’s Julie with the latest.
