  • I mean, there’s a reason humans are still tribal in 2026, and it’s not exclusive to conservatives.

    We evolved to handle the social load of less than 200 other humans, that’s the entire world we evolved for…

    Everyone else is a “them” and we can juggle a couple groups of them, lumped by superficial characteristics because that’s how tribes identified themselves.

    We couldn’t know every member of every tribe, so we judged everyone by their tribe.

    People who strongly identify as LGBT, hate Chick-fil-A more than they hate McDonald’s, despite McDonald’s working closely with trump, treating their workers much worse, and serving vastly unhealthier food. And their CEO probably being just as against LGBT as chicfila’s.

    All that matter is chicfila is “a bad tribe” so anyone that doesn’t treat that specific tribe as 100% an enemy, becomes an enemy of everyone slightly connected to LGBT in their eyes.

    It’s not logical, but I understand why they’re doing it.

    It just sucks that same behavior is exploited for issues much larger than a fucking chicken sandwich. If they “fight” chicfila with shit like comments in this thread, they get the same dopamine hit as doing anything productive, and then are less likely to actually be productive.

    Bread and fucking circuses man.

    The only way out of that maladaptive wiring, is treating every individual as a tribe of one, it’s just hard and brains are lazy.



  • You like their food

    What the fuck are you talking about?

    I said compared to every other fastfood place that uses processed chicken patties, it’s good.

    Some people don’t.

    The other point you e completely missed:

    So if anyone is boycotting Chick-fil-A, they have valid reasons. It’s just damn near every other option is even worse, so if they have consistent logic their boycott list is every major corporation.

    How the fuck is “So if anyone is boycotting Chick-fil-A, they have valid reasons” defending chicfila’s politics?!

    I’m saying boycotting them is valid

    But only boycotting them is illogical


  • Greasy beading that sloughs off the chicken immediately isn’t good by any metric, fast food or otherwise.

    Ok buddy, but:

    1. That’s not the norm, and remember, this is in comparison to other fastfood options.

    2. If you’re boycotting them, how do you know that’s what it’s like?

    But most importantly:

    Company is rotten

    I said every corporation sucks…

    That includes chicfila…

    They also went to the supreme court so they could determine the healthcare their employees get.

    Not sure why you expect people to know what you’re referring too…


  • That’s just a lie…

    The food is good, for “fast” food it’s amazing. Like, I don’t think there’s another fastfood option that hasn’t fully transition to the mcChicken method were the patty is reconstituted scraps.

    Their politics with LGBTQ is (was?) absolute dog shit and more than enough reason to boycott them as an isolated issue…

    But honestly looking at any other aspect of their company, and they’re one of the most worker friendly options. Which again, is not a high bar to clear, especially in fast food.

    So if anyone is boycotting Chick-fil-A, they have valid reasons. It’s just damn near every other option is even worse, so if they have consistent logic their boycott list is every major corporation. Like, the owner has 10 billion dollars, no billionaire owned company is going to be ethical. If someone’s only issue with Chick-fil-A is the anti-lgbt stuff, that doesn’t mean they’re a good person, it means they only care about the demographic they consider “us”.

    But again; saying they’re food isn’t good is just a flat out lie.







  • Personally though, I’ve watched the march of technology first hand, I’ve seen how this works and I see where there’s room for advancement.

    …

    Right…

    My example:

    But that assumption is the same as thinking a fallen object will keep gaining speed until it passes the speed of light

    Is literally what you’re doing.

    You were born and lived during a period the apple was increasing in velocity, you may have witnessed it fall from the tree, but probably not. But that apple is going to hit the ground, that’s the real limit for how small we can make a chip, we’re already at the point with ASML that we have to fuck with light waves and only a single Dutch company can make the machine.

    Are there still gains?

    Sure, but the days of doubling is over, Moores law is dead.

    It’s a direct analogy to the speed of light, something can double in speed every year for a very long time. But eventually it’ll stop being able to and will increase in speed at a barely perceptible level, never beating light speed.

    Like, this is an insanely basic concept, and you’re entire opposition is:

    You don’t understand, this has always happened for the last few decades I’ve paid attention so it’ll always keep happening

    Which is just completely illogical. And I’m not going to keep wasting time on people like you



  • You’ve heard climate change was happening that whole time too, do you stop believing it?

    Someday everyone alive will die, does it stop being true if you live to 20?

    And in the very likely case that seems unrelated: just because people say something will happen, doesn’t mean it happens tomorrow

    For fucks sake man, if someone tells you “winter is coming” in July, are your running around in August talking about how it’ll only keep getting hotter?

    Have you ever even considered using logic before?
