re: Is Political Talk Cannibalizing the OT?

Not sure how on their face these are political topics. Some people make them political, but those posts are pretty easy to scroll past and ignore if you want to.

I’ve been around here a decade longer than you and I maybe have half a stripe.

Claiming stripes on an anonymous internet forum, oh boy that’s a new level of pathetic.

Since you wanted to share that thought with us, let me share mine with you.

Fish sauce is better for adding umami IMO.

I mean who does? Now if it's the weekend and I've got some time, I like cooking down shrooms and other aromatics and making a batch of mushroom ketchup. Straight umami bomb without the fishy funk.

there is certainly a large group of posters (and people in general) that are incapable of separating politics from everyday life

that is obviously illustrated on the OT

and yes, its annoying

these people are the same people that constantly bring up politics or religion at work or at holidays

they are somehow completely unaware that nobody likes them

Yes, it is, which is why some OT threads now look like PT threads from a decade ago. Still plenty of idiocy, but a much better balance of views. With that said, I see no reason that something that could be posted on a specialized board must. Everything should be welcome here.

The OT was once a land of Thunder Domes, babe threads, and funny youtube videos. The vibe has gotten a bit more tense, but it still is what the OT was meant to be.
