Alternate title: Chick-fil-A about to raise menu prices.

Also, don't buy from them. It's run by Christian nationalist and every dollar you give them goes to taking away the rights of someone else.

Would you like some extra bigotry with that chicken, sir?

It would be their pleasure.

You gotta donate to planned parenthood for every dollar spent there. It's like buying carbon offsets, but for sandwiches. /s

I donate to Planned Parenthood AND I don't eat at Chick-fil-A. Win-win.

The last time I was in a Chick-fil-A there was a flamboyantly homosexual guy wearing a neckerchief who took my order.

I had many questions, but I kept them to myself.

I worked there for 6 years while I was still struggling with accepting my own queerness. I thought that by working a "Christian job" while going to a "Christian school" would help me "overcome" my queerness.

It was a desperate attempt to be accepted by the community I grew up in.

Also, because chickens are sentient, sapient creatures! Their experiences are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own.

chickens are sentient, sapient creatures! Their experiences are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own.

do you have evidence for the sapient claim? and what is the basis of whether their experiences matter: how much, and to whom? and as for the identical-ness of the nature of their suffering, can you substantiate that in any way?

Unscripted content? So religious reality TV? Good, that sounds worse.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

I'd say church services but those are scripted

Update: "Streaming service to be unavailable every Sunday."

Missed opportunity to have just bought the assets from Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, which apparently had rights to actual content?
