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 people are allowed to not want to fuck them.

This is one of the most wholesome posts I’ve ever seen on this sub. Thank you, op!

Goddamnit. This is going to be stuck in my head all day.

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.

Can I offer you a nice egg in these trying times?

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.

That’s the face value goal, if they were being honest and following classical economics. It’s entirely moot when tariffs are put on goods that can’t sufficiently be brought stateside.

For example, coffee and chocolate.

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.

Well, see, a buttplug is basically a plug, but for your butt. Would you like to know more?

Woah, look at Nostradamus over here

Thanks! If I recall correctly, they just seemed like the exact same message, except as posts. I didn’t really bother to look any now closely.

“she’s” already made multiple posts. You just don’t see them because we caught them quickly and banned those accounts.

Lol good job, op. Sorry, I almost banned you thinking you were “her” again, trying to circumvent their own ban.

Lol. All you yung’ns who think you’ve hit peak miserableness.

You sweet, summer children. It gets worse.
