Normal people have no idea about these micro-controversies the very online media types are pushing

Low key the Food/Drink board is the worst, most vicious board on this entire site.
Some dude will be like "hey after 50 years of looking we found the latke recipe of my great great aunt who died in the Holocaust and here it is" and it'll get 14 downvotes and a bunch of passive aggressive comments...

Good for your family if so. Seriously
But in curiosity - 31 ACT and high GPA are a dime a dozen at AU/UA much less UGA or UT or an Ivy
Are you guys “UM”? What is the missing piece of the story here?...

Yeah, i really wish people would just keep their head down and ignore her, but our political class (including MAGA) have to get the clicks and engage with these dumb narratives
Either way, it will fade and we will see where things are at in a couple of weeks. But countering the hype machine feed...

We’re not at all straining food and resources in this country.
A reduced regulatory burden in the next administration will clearly show this once again.

re: Redditt? Didn't realize they were so Left Wing. Made a post
Posted by Pettifogger on 7/25/24 at 4:18 pm
I'll put it to you this way. The most conservative subreddits on Reddit represent the most liberal wing of whatever the subreddit is about in the real world.
So if the Farming subreddit is to the right of 99.99% of reddit, it's still probably in the most liberal 1% of the entire US farming commu...

I think it's somewhat interesting that there isn't more of a "why are we so focused on availing ourselves of something desirable instead of building something desirable" mindset. I know that's something of a boomer throwaway line, but I do think it shows a change in approach.
Sure, I want brewe...
re: Name a woman you would vote for as president.
Posted by Pettifogger on 7/25/24 at 4:00 pm
I'm sure we'd all vote for any number of conservative (or even merely GOP) women over the alternatives.
The real question is who you'd promote as a potential top choice for President, and I think that's a lot tougher. There aren't many options where I can objectively go "______ has shown a ton o...

The GOP has been trying to deliver a GOP message in an inoffensive way for 25 years and has mostly been getting its arse handed to it
It's like evangelical churches trying to replicate the culture outside their doors and still losing ground
