“This site is mainly old people. “
The most succinct description of FR!
The site has aged out badly over 25 years. I have described it to friends as a bunch of old people screaming “get off my lawn” about various topics.
I still love the format of this site, and I like the fact that being in my early 50s here, is like being a twenty something year old on other sites. LOL.

I started lurking here back in 2002. I didn’t really know much about politics then. I knew weightlifting, girls, beer, and basketball. I knew I didn’t know enough to post, and I was also reading the site in a SCIF.
What has become the worst, in my opinion, is everything turning into a binary argument.
I don’t want the US involved in the Ukraine, therefore I’m a commie Putinista.
You get it.
Agreed most of us are old but we have lived long enough to see many scams, cons, lies, and assorted garbage peddled in the form of get rich quick schemes.
At least we have lawns to get off of!
