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.

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

Internet’s older than you think. Tim Berners Lee, the dude who invented the World Wide Web, opened it up to the public a year earlier.

Explain

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

Allow me to help give context. This is Leonardo DiCaprio we’re talking about, a very famous movie star. This man can afford to have eccentric personal relationship rules. These women, while much younger, are still adults who can make informed decisions about their own lives. It’s even easier to grasp when you realize this just means they know the relationship has a predetermined max limit.

Thi2nk of it like a summer fling. Someone comes into town, just for the summer. You really hit it off and both of you want to spend more time with the other. But you both know at the end of Summer, they’re leaving town again. Would you still be willing to enjoy that time together?

It’s kind of like that, except the other person is Leonardo fucking DiCaprio, and they’re leaving town because they’re rich celebrities who can do whatever they want.

So yeah, it’s definitely fuckin weird, but that doesn’t exactly make it bad. Those are independent variables.

But the cake isn’t a lie?!?

Hey Squid. Please edit he title to have [AI] in it? Getting a lot of reports about that. Also the “deadly” ain’t really accurate either.

Wow you certainly showed us

Amazing post for amazing food! Nicely done, op!!

Goddamn, that joke is terrible. Well done, op, I’m proud of you!

That’s a solid strategy for the fries! Nicely done on the whole meal, op!

Holy shit what a chonker!

I can help as well, if you want. I already mod a few communities and check the feed a couple times a day.

This gif is a classic. On fleek was slang kids used over a decade ago. My nephews and nieces used it all the time, and I had fun ruining it by overuse. Nothing kills slang faster than an old guy “pretending” to be hip.
