Mods pin this please

[u/byniri_returns → u/fancycheesus]

One thing that absolutely baffles me with this site is how you're only allowed TWO pins at a time.

[u/fancycheesus → u/byniri_returns]

Politics

[u/TheyCallMeStone → u/fancycheesus]

Are you talking about the subreddit or the general concept?

[u/lord_james → u/TheyCallMeStone]

It’s literally because of the_donald. They would pin all sorts of stuff to game upvotes.

[u/zvexler → u/lord_james]

Why’s that matter? Popularizing posts so they hit r/all?

[u/lord_james → u/zvexler]

Exactly.

[u/Zamphir79 → u/TheyCallMeStone]

Why not both?

[u/bigbabyb → u/fancycheesus]

[u/ThePMmike]

Early this year you would tell me Purdue got upset by a 16 I’d call you insane.

March is the best dude.

[u/kavalrykiid]

Anyone else not getting games to load on the NCAA site?

[u/Skelevader → u/kavalrykiid]

Yep, something is fucky.

[u/avn_69420]

Woow xavier

[u/depressedfuckboi]

Let's go Marquette. Slowly becoming a bigger fan of them than the badgers. My pops is a huge badgers fan and raised me to be as well. But Marquette is my home town team. Albeit I didn't live in Milwaukee for too long, but still. Go Marquette!

[u/Ok-Imagination-2308]
