171. Okay so you do value the "recs"

Fri Nov 15, 2024, 08:25 AM

Nov 15

Just not enough to use them rather than essentially type "rec" after every post you like ok gotcha.

Are you asking why I did not "rec" this? I am stingy with my recs, they're glorious little prizes I give away sparingly. In this case, I don't agree with the logic of the content the poster shared. I actually explained my reasoning for that in a response in this thread (rather than posting -1zzzz or whatever, haha)
