Thank you for the footnote. I had no idea what the hell SJW meant. Now I know, don’t care at all, and will probably forget in a week or two. But I will recall how delish a Chick-Fil-A spicy chicken sandwich is.

Pro tip: Next time, you can just write them off as the deplorable crowd the moment they use “SJW.” That’s basically a screaming red flag right there.

(bolding mine)

I want “brine my chicken in pickle juice” to be a euphemism for something, or at least some kind of down-home country saying: “Well, brine my chicken in pickle juice, if it isn’t Miss Delilah!”

Point 1: If this guy is only ‘one of’ your SJW friend’s boyfriends, he’s probably better off without her. I wonder if he’s aware of the others. If not, her behavior is worse than his.

Point 2: Given the way she normally behaves SJW-wise, he’d be better off without her anyway.

My sister-in-law and her wife gave up boycotting Chik-Fil-A because there was one very close to their house with a playground for their kids.

This reminds me of a couple we know. Strict uber-judgemental vegans. They once insisted on eating in a separate closed room from everyone else during a big family thanksgiving because the turkey on the table was too offensive, while of course announcing their whole intent during the event.

It came down through the grapevine that one of them was known to pack beef jerky while out on hiking trips with his buddies but without his SO.

I’m not sure how much I’ll get for the blackmail, but at least an extra helping of mashed potatoes and cranberries.

OP, your best option here is to pour yourself a big steamy mug of STFU, drink deeply therefrom, and get on with your life. Blackmail is a crime. Interfering in someone else’s relationship for your own amusement is evil. Find better ways to spend your time.

They’ve also backed off on some of their conservative activism as a corporation, they’ve started to figure out that it isn’t a good mix and appealing to the broadest cross section of people is good business.

Now, if you are boycotting them because they aren’t open on Sunday…

Please return soon with a story that involves someone quaking in their boots, or getting still as a statue, then turning red, or white, or the color draining from their face. They should by turns be absolutely silent, then shouting, or stammering, or struggling to speak. At that time you should be holding laughter inside, then become overcome by such violent laughter that you are unable to speak. The other party should become indignant with rage asking you what’s so funny. When they suddenly realize that your intent was always to reveal the secret, or never reveal it, they should be struck wordless, or start cursing at you, or start threatening you, or be too intimidated to do anything at all.

Then there should be some sort of scuffle initiated by you, or the guy, or or you and the guy together, or by yet some other guy scrambling to avoid the altercation. You will of course win the altercation; this is not negotiable.

As proof of your story, you should include a link to an image of an object lying on its side, which was knocked down in aforementioned altercation.

The editorial board looks forward to your submission and will be following your career with great interest.
