Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests (www.garbageday.email)

Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

Rum can be very different regarding the nation is comes from because the various Rhum Agricoles are not made the same way Jamaican rum is made and that is due to laws surrounding production.

For example in Martinique all sugar cane is cut once and then the field is burned and replanted. This means the cane has less wood to it and as a result less wood sugar. In addition you cannot add sugar back into Rhum Agricole to cover faults like you can in most nations.

There can be very distinct differences but those are entirely due to laws and traditions. There is no notion of terroir, that is that the climate and soil provide unique elements, in sugar cane.

You are using arguments. The two nationalists in question weren't; they were simply "chrust me" and then "lalala I'm not listening this contradicts my nationalism lalala". And more importantly because they wanted to claim that you'd spoil a drink by using the wrong type of rum. (As if the sort of rum that you'd use to make drinks wasn't the simplest and most "samey" available - it's a waste to make a drink with the more iconic stuff.)

That's because Im an American with no skin in the game and I have sold booze in some fashion for decades.

Lots of people have weirdly nationalistic ideas with booze.
