One correction for Sorbo: People weren't boycotting Chik-fil-a for "being christian". There are tens of thousands of businesses that are "christian". It was Chik-fil-a's large donations to homophobic groups and the president of the company at the time Dan Cathy (and current Chairman of the Board) making public homophobic statements.

Be whatever religion you want, but when you use your money and power to repress other people, that's where you earn a boycott.

To morons like Sorbo homophobia=Christianity.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 44 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I’d argue chic-fil-a is especially NOT Christian for refusing to love their neighbor as themselves.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 19 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I'd suggest you take a look at the last millennium and a half of Christian history.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 25 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I will similarly argue there was a WHOLE lot of bad done by folks labeling themselves as Christians during that time period.

I’m not a Christian, but I was raised as one and I know what I was taught goes in the face of most of all of the things they do.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

That's because Christianity basically just exists to justify hating others.

The rules are all made up and the points don't matter. They're just a Christian as any other Christian I've ever met.

Bingo. Exactly why I won't eat there.

MRW I hear Kevin Sorbo speak or write anything since 1999 when Hercules wrapped.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 weeks ago

He's a gold mine for God Awful Movies. As is Kirk Cameron and David A. R. White.

I don't think Satan ever donated to organizations that support anti-lgbt groups.

Damn this guy is so stupid I had to look up "Satan Shoes" because I was sure he meant Satin Shoes...

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

WTF makes shoes out of satin?

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 weeks ago

Well if you don't like them, don't buy them

[–] CulturedLout@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 weeks ago

Shoes for bridesmaids are often satin because they're easy to dye

Steve Hofstetter is a great comedian and has the best comebacks. He is wasted on this "explaining words to Kevin Sorbo"-series, there's no character growth, no shred of understanding, no positive character arc, Kevin just keeps mouth-shitting bullpucky every week and Steve or Lucy Lawless or a five year old have to explain to him that he's saying dumb shit.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Steve Hofstetter is a national treasure.

But Lucy Lawless teasing Kevin? That I have to see.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 11 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

It's a whole thing she's been shooting down his shit-takes for years now.

No wonder Sorbo posts so much, it's the only place he has an audience.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 11 points 4 weeks ago

This is partially my fault. When people started to boycott chick fillet I misheard their call to action and enacted a blockade upon their establishments. He must have seen one of the frigates I had patrolling in the parking lot and mistaken boycott for blockade.

[–] TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org 9 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Kevin Sorbo was never intelligent to begin with

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Is it true his surname is really Sorbeaux but he kept misspelling it?

I'd like to say I boycott chick-fil-A because of the anti gay thing but its because I actually tried it awhile back and was like meh. Certainly not worth the price and that was way before the recent inflation times. Its the same with walmart. Wish it was prinicple but man even the parking lot triggers me. Actually being in the store is just hell.

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I never got the whole Chick-fil-A thing. It's just a fast food chicken sandwich. It's good, as far as fast food chicken sandwiches go, but that's it. It's definitely not the orgasmically awesome food experience some people make it out to be.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 4 weeks ago (6 children)

I mean I have popeyes around here and no chain holds a candle to their offerings.

It's consistently good, and the service is second to none. Every other fast food place has some bad locations, or you show up at the wrong time and it's not fresh, the service is terrible, or the people working there are clearly just not trying.

Chick-Fil-A maintains consistency by limiting their hours and treating their employees better. Their ingredients are also top notch for fast food. Good salads.

And good soda fountains. Chick-Fil-A and Whataburger are the only two places left with good fountain Coke.

I still hate their politics, but there's a reason they've always got a line around the block at lunchtime, and it's not because the service is slow (because it isn't).

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Chick-fil-A creeps me out, because people are i n s a n e for it. Like, cars lined up around the block.

Because of him I can't get into watching Andromeda. Is it even a good show?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

The first couple seasons were OK. You're not really missing anything.

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

I enjoyed it up till the last season. The last season was just dumb and kind of a temporary reset.

Basically Andromeda is 'we have Star Trek Discovery (in the 32nd century) at home.'

All the shit Discovery skipped rebuilding the Federation is basically in Andromeda.
