Well, for one, you can see how long I've been in the thread since there are timestamps on everything

Second, "so much work here" is really just me talking about how its fine to order donuts as "whatever" or letting the baker/employee pick. Cuz I like donuts, and I like letting them choose for me.

Third, after watching the video linked by someone else, and seeing how you called me "weird" I understand now that I could be misconstrued as defending JD Vance, which I absolutely am not and would never do. The way that [email protected] described it, I thought both instances were things that Walz did and was being attacked for in a very stupid way (as someone else said, "like attacking dijon mustard" re:Obama) -- this is my first time hearing about these silly food related things so I was missing a lot of context which apparently everyone else already has.

After seeing that video, re-reading some of the comments here (and reading the newer ones) I'm not even sure why the commenter I responded to was talking about Vance without saying his name in the first place. I jumped to a conclusion based on the available context in the thread at the time (which all points Walz) and that was incorrect.

Lastly, as you can see I can be a bit long-winded when I have something more meaningful to say than a joke, quip or question. So "doing so much work" is relative 😉 -- But, I also understand where you were coming from now with the assumption that I am going above and beyond to defend Vance's conversation - which, as someone else said, went off the rails as soon as video consent was not granted. And I want to reiterate, fuck that fucking couchfucker.
