I think I've made two posts in this section ever but it's hilarious to lurk.
Here's my take on this forum:
The only good part is the cartoon thread period

It's the same 5 people arguing with the same other 5 people for years and years and there's a couple people in the middle. The whole trump thread for years of your life there was nothing gained that I can see. Just a waste of your life, you may as well have been jerking off.
There is no truly intellectual discussion that I've seen over years, it's just shit slinging and calling other people dumb, if there is an honest attempt it is very quickly ruined.

The tribalism is insane and clearly many peoples identity is dependent what politics you think so it's an ego battle of how right you are. Which doesn't do anything to better the world in the slightest, if you think you're an activist poster that's just dumb, go work at a soup kitchen instead and make 10000x the impact.

Why would anyone want to come here to have an honest discussion? The environment is complete shit and is literally the most toxic forum on the site.
Go lift weights or make a bean dip or anything else would be more productive than what goes on here especially when people are posting like 10 times a day, that's like once a waking hour it's to an unhealthy level.
Come on over to the mushroom section,  see if there's 1/20th of the toxicity then grow a lions mane mushroom for your mom or kid or something. . .

Best of luck, back to lurking for me
