A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

But when the military pisses away billions on equipment that doesn't work, everbody's like "meh, what are ya gonna do?"

This makes me proud to be a conservative for some reason... Or something

That is a lot of apples.

Apples are one of my least favorite fruits. The cold storage always makes them mealy.

You're buying shitty apples.

All depends on the time of the year. Apples are routinely stored in cold storage. It’s why we can get them year round.

If they're mealy, you're probably buying Red Delicious, a horrible mainstream cultivar that are known for that. I've never tasted another apple with that awful texture. You could probably try some other varieties and not have that problem.

Red delicious is what we normally get. I find them disgusting.

Those are the absolute worst apples. They've been selecvtively bred for storage and appearance vs. flavor and texture. Buying the most horrible, mainstream variety is what I'd expect from a conservative community mod. Maybe get a different kind? Pretty much anything... gala, fuji, cosmic crisp, envy.

It’s what my girlfriend buys and she’s a democrat.

I don’t buy apples. I buy nectarines, kiwi, bananas and anything other than apples

Sounds reasonable. Apples are pretty basic fruit. I'd rather eat peppers and a tomato as far as fruit goes.

I hate most store bought tomatoes. They lack flavor. A good heirloom tomato is such a treat
