    I’m so tired of these woke CEOs and their snowflake whining over misgendering their companies. There’s the name that a company is assigned at birth, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to change the way I’ve always called them (for my whole life and ALL of god-fearing Christian history) because some liberal snowflake CEO one-day wakes up and simply declares, “twitter is now X” ffs.

    The facts of the birth incorporation certificate, DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS little pissant mUsK… GET OVER IT!

    /s since satire is dead.

      Mr. Pibb, Dr. Robotnik, Sierra Mist, I’m not using your woke “Pibb Extra, Dr. Eggman, Starry” nonsense!

        Oh, that’s what that was about? I honestly just assumed Starry was some crap knock-off that the restaurant just happened to have that day. Not really sure what the motive would be or why they’d expect the reaction to rebranding a nearly 20yr old product would be any other assumption. I’m going to disagree with them. They should be glad I’m not calling them Sprite.

          Yeah… I thought the same, that it was some knock-off company’s bootleg Sprite, wasn’t a very good idea, especially since the product packaging looks like Sprite’s

      “The Chaser” is a satire site. You’re getting really angry over something that never happened.
