It's a bit like somebody's definition of insanity. Repeat something over and over and expect a different outcome than the other 2000 times you did it.
I find that context and subtlety are a huge waste of time
Political discussions: where everyone thinks they're right, but nobody actually is.
I'm all for free speech, not that it's truly free but it beats any alternative I know of. Still, if you go down that road in the political climate we have today it's going to get **** sooner or later, usually sooner.
My view is that while I possess reasoned and long held political beliefs, I compartmentalize my interests. Meaning that I come here primarily for football followed closely for grilling recipes and bourbon recommendations.
Reasonable people can agree to disagree so even if you're a commie, freedom-hating degenerate, we can still be friends. 😉
