Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS.
It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments.
Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Looking forward to bored, painkiller-fueled drunken screeds about something so esoteric and niche we all scratch our heads.
In that vein? This is why I always thought it weird that hobbits didn’t wear shoes or boots, when every other race did.
Doesn’t matter how sturdy your feet are. Eventually the ground is gonna tear them up.
Glad that’s the worst of it; sounds awful enough.
Or the barefoot runner crowd!
"It's nAtUrAl tO RuN BaReFoOt!"
Yeah, I have skin ribbons that disagree with that!
As a Barefoot runner it's only natural if what you're running on is also natural... Even then there are things like thorns lol. Glass is unforgiving.
(and by Barefoot I still use minimalist shoes with at least some tread to them).
Anyways... The mod is out of the house, party time!
(in all sincerity, not fun sorry).
As they say in Greece, when the cats away the mouse will dance.
And by barefoot runner you mean your feet aren't bare when you run..?
It does sound weird, but barefoot running is more broadly associated with any type of running that includes 0-drop heels and thin-soled "minimalist" shoes of various types. Can say minimalist running, but they're often used interchangeably. In fairness I do like raw doggin' it occasionally, too.
Gotcha, was confused lol
