As far as I'm aware content there either gets upvoted or downvoted by users. Upvoted content gets more exposure and downvoted content gets the opposite treatment. People there seem really hive-minded and will gang up on opinions they don't like. So for example if someone like @ninjapirate went to one of the subreddits and started making contrarian points he'd get downvoted. It depends on the community I guess but whenever I tried them it seemed like everyone was walking on eggshells to not get downvoted. So for example people who post "Eagles will be 16-0! smile emojix15" might get a ton of upvotes but if someone says something that hurts peoples feelings like "Yeah I think Doug Pederson is an idiot and Carson Wentz has footwork problems" you'll probably get downvoted into censorship. At least, that was my experience, I'm sure there are some great communities there, but the ability for downvoting is just stupid in my opinion.

Yeah i could see how that would go south real quick for a lot of us lol. Also makes sense why Reddit is so popular, cause its probably cliquey as hell and way to "safe/agreeable" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew I could get rich opening a popcorn shop in Japan... I legit think if you put "B60's World Famous Gourmet Popcorn" they'd line up, there's no way they knew what Garrett's was.

That would be so funny. "Ros World Famous Grill Cheese".. Like anything famous with generic American food is going to kill over there.

Bednarik60 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 They have such a different palate then us, its funny the foods that work and then the ones that don't. I had a Japanese friend at the gym and he told me all Japanese people hate American Root Beer lol and i guess its kinda true. Like how does Caramel Popcorn go like crazy, but Root Beer is gross?

Story of my life since i hit about when i hit 27 to now. Eat as much as you can when you can and before you go to sleep to give you more energy the following day anticipating for the times you figure you will just be boneheaded and not eat. For me i got to have certain food around or i wont eat, like nuts and seeds work great for me cause i can live out on a counter and they are there as a reminder and easy on the go so it doesnt disrupt what ever im doing that is distracting me from eating. Could be granola bars or bananas , a snack mix or trail mix or something like that , you can keep by your computer or desk or bedroom.
