Historic Redlining in Philadelphia

I found myself on the Redlining Wikipedia page and came across a document, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation zone descriptions from 1937, which listed as a detrimental influence for the area, the "concentration of Negroes and Italians." We've come a long way, but there is yet progress to be made.

USA Hating European Starter Pack

Ok this is a spicy one. I will admit that we do have an obesity problem. That being said, I’ve traveled the world over and outside of East Asia which has serious personal image/beauty issues that I dare not delve into, you guys are pretty fat too. Yes, we do tend to be a bit more shooty than most. Not pictured: Our broken healthcare system and my personal favorite trope, Americans are too dumb to read, yet somehow managed to become the world superpower. Ready? Let’s fight.

r/Tall Starter Pack

For reasons unknown, the Reddit algorithm recommended r/Tall to me, a man within a standard deviation above average height. I will go on record as saying it is a terribly annoying subreddit filled with the most insufferable people I have come across in a while. It’s a perpetual pity party of “Boo hoo, being tall is hard!” all day, every day. Enjoy.
