Because everyone is broke af

Here’s a friendly reminder of rule 1: be kind. If you can’t, then be quiet.

Well, have fun, I guess?

Well, they’re not a mod here. I’m one of the poor saps with that role. Is… Is that what you want…? That’s not even a rule here.

Hi there. Would you please reply to this comment to show that you’re not a spam bot? I would like to stop receiving reports about your posts

I’m gonna need you to clarify your point some more

Hours of your life and fractions of your soul.

Honestly though, when the prices get significantly high, both sets of lanes are backed up to hell and it doesn’t really matter.

But you didn’t. And not only does the first half of your comment contribute nothing to the conversation, but your second half is just outright disrespectful.

Please refrain from both aspects of such commentary in the future. They’re not conducive to good discussion in this community.

Just going to go on record here. It’s not okay to harass anyone here because they’re autistic. We’re not opening this door, it gets ugly real quick. Further commentary will result in comment removal and potential bans.

No, it doesn’t matter if they’re billionaires. There’s plenty of actual reasons you can give them shit. Don’t touch autism or any other form of hate speech.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. You’ve raised great points and changed my mind. I’ll be removing these moving forward and will remove this one after sending this comment.

Hi there. I understand your perspective on the matter. On the other hand, I don’t consider this community active enough to be too restrictive on content. This place gets an average of one post a day. Op has made comments, indicating they’re an actual human being, and the post has not actually broken any rules.

Considering that this post has brought forth actual discussion, I’m going to leave it up.

You’re welcome to post other content from other preferred sources if you like.

And they received a 1-week ban for this behavior. Rule 1 is literally hear “be kind” and that certainly wasn’t.

That being said, I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. They can come back in a week and are welcome to be kind. But any further disrespect will get them permabanned and their comments removed.

Doubling tortillas is an old school trick for mass quantities. It adds structural stability and minimizes food loss from breaking. We also give em a light grilling or frying before using them too.

Please allow me to clarify my perspective on this discussion.

This commenter associated a bunch of effects with the progressive era.

You then replied with a thoughtful response that questioned most of their points.

But then you wrote

Japanese Internment

Two major Red Scares and a collapse in union membership

Legitimate criticisms.

At this point, I read that as you acknowledging those two points as legitimate criticisms against the progressive era. This is what I disputed. I think those are unfair criticisms, as far as I understood the words you wrote.

This is all I said. I’ve jumped to no other conclusions. I’ve said nothing against you or your character. I’ve made no other assumptions. I simply wrote a response based off the words you used.

I see you’ve further clarified your perspective as well, and understand that we’re of the same perspective on the matter. You have no need to be so defensive anymore, my dude.

Edit: the other commenter essentially proved that they were just baiting people into inflammatory discussion. They kept resorting to personal attacks and flip-flopped on their position solely to continue arguing. This behavior is not tolerated here. Please report such trolls in the future.

By asking for clarification instead of jumping to some inflammatory assumptions. I was civil to you, and made no accusations against your character. Yet you were very quick to attack my character. Would you please refrain from such incivility in the future?

My apologies, I guess I wasn’t clear enough. My point was that it’s unfair to blame those things as results of progressive policies.

But hey, thanks for the gross mischaracterization of my perspective.

Japanese Internment

Two major Red Scares and a collapse in union membership

Legitimate criticisms

No they’re not. Those two things were caused by far greater international factors. Like, you know, the 2nd World War.

Sorry, op. I’m locking this thread, the discussion is getting too ugly for individualized moderation.

But the cake isn’t a lie?!?

Is that Harry?!? Don’t lump Harry in with The 1000s. Dude’s a gentle giant and a proud member of the Henderson family.
