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!

That's not at all what I'm saying.
I swear no one on the internet has any reading comprehension skills anymore. Either that or everyone purposely assumes the worst interpretation of everything because they want to talk shit.
I was saying that just like regular beans, there are a variety of instant options as well on the market. Just because Walmart stocks terrible options, that doesn't mean there aren't others available. We're not talking about the pompous assholes that can't stop talking about their home espresso machine, fancy grinding habits, magical aero press, or how to properly do a pour over.
Most people just use the cheap stuff, the quick K-cup, or the Starbucks drive thru on the way to work because THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK, they just want their caffeine. So that's what you need to compare against.
Mate, I didn't have anything more useful to say, so I went something funny. Your last sentence did kinda come across as "these swill-drinking bastards can't recognize good coffee anyway," but I apologize if I stressed you out or hit a nerve. If it seems I put no effort into reading/replying to your comment, it's because I didn't. Have a good day, bud.
Starbucks is made with beans dipshit. They have an actual Columbian roast.
Where did I say Starbucks didn't use beans? I'll wait...
I said Starbucks burns their shit. It's the McDonald's of coffee. Speed, quantity, and consistency across tens of thousands of locations worldwide at the lowest cost possible; quality is not a primary factor. It's why their business is focused around hiding the crap coffee with milk and syrup.
You said "most Americans use the cheap stuff like starbucks" implying that Starbucks doesn't use the, about to get extremely expensive Columbian blend. It's not going to be cheap anymore. Therefore: you are wrong. You were implying that it's OK because we have access to starbucks. McDonald's gets some of their beans sourced from Columbia too. Talk about people who can't read, do some fucking research before you say dumb shit
You really shouldn't call out someone's intelligence if you can't spell the country's name correctly.
Colombia
Omg I'm so sorry to all the people of Colombia that I made a mistake while vigorously typing on phone keyboard that autocorrects words that are spelled right and doesn't bother with words that aren't. My apologies you are much more fucking intelligent than I.
Seems that you can't use proper grammar in your titles either. Lmao.
