    I know that everybody already knows this which is why its not even really mentioned but “gender pronouns”??? And that’s right below his incredibly cool username. I just hate how these motherfuckers can’t stand people who can’t speak English but they don’t even know what pronouns are.

    It starts with one, one thing, I don’t know why

    I wish this guy would come out of the closet and admit he’s a satirist. His stuff is funny as hell when viewed from an angle. He’s probably doing his best to stay in character. Gotta keep the people wondering if there really are people that unbelievably stupid.

    “gender pronouns” has the same energy as some old man on a rocking chair on his front porch saying “you know… one of those cellular-type phones”

    Soap box time:

    FUCK BONE IN WINGS

    It’s such copium to go “mm yes give me bones in my tiny pieces of meat! I love paying for sauce and skin and bone!”

    Call me whatever you want, call boneless wings nuggets or strips or tendies, whatever. If you want chicken with bones in it, go for something with an actual amount of meat or fun factor to it. When I get a drumstick, I feel like a medieval king enjoying the jesters on my screen as I snap a bite off and grow closer to dying from gout.

    If I am paying my hard earned cash for meat and sauce, I want the meat and sauce, not sauce and bones that take up 50% of my meal and go into the trash can when I’m done. I get there’s an appear to “sucking the sauce off the bone”, I love a good rack of ribs as much as the next Joe Six-Pack, but I want the bones to be able to suckable, and not “this could get lost in my teeth if I’m not careful enough.”

    Maybe I’ve never had a good set of bone in wings from local or chain places, but I would much rather buy some tendies and dunk that shit in some generic sauce than eat wings.

    It’s 1:19 AM as I write this before I pass out, I wanted to get this out in a humorous way, and I hope someone else enjoys it in this shit time we’re all in. Goodnight.

      No, I won’t allow this biased shift in language.

      You’re referring to WINGS sir. There are no “bone-in” wings, that’s just wings.

      Enjoy your chicken nuggets, and I mean that, they’re delicious, but they’re not wings.

      Wings have bones.

      Boneless nuggets do not have bones.

      Your whole mistake is assuming that meat is why people eat wings.

      No, to paraphrase Dennis Reynolds, there’s no denying that the skins are the most fascinating part. Bone in wings have the highest ratio of skin out of any cut, and are therefore the most delicious.

      And yes, I sometimes take chicken skin off of thighs and breasts to just fry them as some kind of chicharrones.

          I agree that it’s only good when the skin is crispy enough to hold up to the sauce: maintaining a crisp texture with the surface area to cling to a bunch of sauce. Not every place does it right.

          But with boneless stuff, the approximation through breading just isn’t the same.

          Note that I’ve also taken bones out of the real wings, and those are about 50 times more delicious than nuggets or tenders. It’s not the bones, it’s the skin.

      The issues with this:

      1. Boneless wings are not made of the dark meat from wings and are inherently a different product altogether. They are made from dry, relatively flavorless breast meat that needs a lot of help. There are good reasons why the more expensive a restaurant is, the less likely that any kind of chicken meat they serve will be breast meat.
      2. The entire idea here is flavor, not quantity (though I weekly order great all you can eat wings while playing D&D for cheaper than a big mac). The marrow adds a lot of flavor.

      I’d guess that you have only ever had absolutely sub par wings. A lot of places will serve wings at the culinary level of Hooters - soggy, over cooked slop.

        Right; before wings became a thing unto themselves, they were stuck in soup because they add a lot of flavor. A combination of dark meat and bones is why, plus the fact that they were cheap because nobody had a better idea for using them at the time.

        Chicken breast is like an empty canvas. They’re a chunk of protein that you add your own flavors into. I find that appealing from a cooking point of view, but yeah, it comes out bland most of the time for a reason.

        Maybe? But at some point I think it’s more how everyone around me does it. From local to chain to people I’ve had cook while I was a guest, I’ve never had good bone-in wings. I’ve had good ribs and bad ribs, I’ve had good chicken thighs and bad chicken thighs.

      Ah yes, the ‘nuggies’ to ‘egg’ pipeline.

      Linguistically odd how that works out.

      No, boneless wings are legally distinct, because they are allowed to have bones in them. There’s apparently no rational basis for people to believe there are no bones in boneless wings.

      Chicken nuggets can’t have bones in them. So they are different things entirely.

        See also: synthetic oil. It was argued in court that “synthetic” meant a certain level of quality, rather than being an actual synthetic product. They got the judge to agree.

        Synthetic oil is still generally better for your car than the regular stuff, but it’s still mostly stuff pulled out of the ground.

    if you put “(alpha male)” in your display name you’re a beta cuck. this isn’t even about that alphas/betas/sigmas exist. they don’t. they only exist to the people who care about those designations. and by caring about them you make them real to you, meaning in your own world view you are a beta cuck

      I wonder if you could explain pronouns to them this way. Like, we all see them as a cuck but they feel like an alpha, so isn’t it fucking rude that we keep calling them cuck?

      (This is not a serious comparison and everyone should respect pronouns. Regardless, both are societally created categories, one just carries a fuck of a lot more weight than the other.)

      How about just eliminate pronouns altogether. Don’t see any reason are such an essential part of language. Just don’t use pronouns at all. Why can’t all just agree to? 's not like are even nessecary.

        It came from a time when a sentence about a man had more importance than one about a woman. It is based in sexism.

        There is no reason to still use it. Just like there is no reason every object need to have a gender like in French and Spanish.

        Jack, Jill, and John went on a walk. [they] Found an apple. [she/Jill] ate it. A farmer yelled at [them].

        Fuck, without pronouns you have to repeat the noun to specify who did what.

          No need for pronouns when avoiding the usage is possible! Some sentences start sounding a bit weird though. Would writing a book be possible in this manner though, provided the text should remain understandable?

          I hope I avoided all pronouns above, it’s really difficult but kind of fun.

          Change all of these people to male and you still have the same problem. It is just nitpicking to come up with very specific circumstances where it may come in handy.

          Why don’t we create pronouns based upon hair color instead? Dhe for dark haired people, rhe for redheaded, lhe for light haired.

          That way if we talk about the Spice Girls, you know who I mean when I say “rhe had the best voice”

          Same logic.
