The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

That actually looks pretty yummy.

And in keeping with the thread, I’m sorry I thought this was discussion. I didn’t realize you just expected everyone to pat you on the back and agree with you.

A single word? I didn't even think that was possible

It’s awesome how people decide for you what you meant then run wild with it.

Well apparently I’m a better comedian than even I give myself credit for. And trust me I give myself a lot of credit.

Clearly it’s easier to strawman and reduce anyone you disagree with’s position to caricature than ever even trying to have an honest conversation. Nope, there’s no toxicity in that fandom. None at all.

Maybe the best thing about no-politics on here is that I can come here to escape people who are ostensibly on "my side" making really insipid and counterproductive points. Well, about politics anyway.

One of the problems with politics being turned into football teams -- and then being made way too central to personal identity -- is that a lot of people, on all sides, don't seem to have actually deeply thought about or researched what they profess to believe. If your reason for believing something is because your parents and college classmates believe it, you might not actually believe it at all -- you're just going with the flow.
