    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.

      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.

    Since gender pronouns are so so dangerous, how about we call everyone they/them?

    It starts with a woman using a word you don’t understand, it ends with knowing that the president will listen to your tweet, he didn’t mean to impact you, surely?

      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

      Unfortunately I don’t think he is satire. He’s probably trying to get outrage reactions, though.

      The College Republicans club at my alma mater actually invited him to speak on campus.

          Ooh, thanks for letting me know. I just remember that a random comment on a YouTube video told me that it was fake, and since that account always says the most ridiculous shit (like full-on far-right parody stuff) I always assumed it wasn’t real.

    I wish I had the ass and legs of gender pronoun person. If I have to eat boneless wings to get there I will.
