Slaan posted:I'm more concerned that the texts are all generally loving stupid. They are badly spelled and half the time are conspiracy theory nonsense like "Trump is putin's puppet don't let prdue give us back to China" instead of actual get out the vote messages based around real world policy messages aimed to the poor and working class I've never gotten any texts like that, thankfully. The ones I got were all like what Grammarchist described. Grammarchist posted:I didn't personally mind texts during the General Election. They were polite, issues-oriented and easy to ignore after the initial reminder that an election is happening. Then again, I was a donor and volunteer for doomed local candidate, so it's not like I needed the reminder to vote in November, even if I'm stuck in a deep-red state where it didn't matter. Georgia going blue for a bit, even if it isn't quite ready to go full Virginia/Colorado, was huge for morale out here in Indiana.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if the three texts I get every day reminding me to vote in the runoff were like Grammarchist described. Those are the exception rather than the rule from my experience though

AtraMorS posted:According to Wikipedia, the GA leg authorized a trademark in 1986, and a federal Dept. of Ag. marketing order backs it up. IANAL but I think the long and short of it is that if you see "Vidalia onion" on the packaging, that means that it was actually grown in one of the specified Georgia counties (and not the same species grown in a greenhouse in Wisconsin or whatever). The champagne of onions!

If it wasn't grown in the counties surrounding Vidalia, Georgia then that raw onion is just sparkling poo poo tbh and shouldn't be consumed

Now I’m not gonna lie and say that the onion is not a very polarizing vegetable. But I’ll be god damned if that onion doesnt mean something! That Onion stands for pride, self sufficiency and traditional family values. When the fascists marched on Poland the onion was there. During our darkest hours of the great depression the onions stood firm. I say rename Peachtree Street onions Street. Let the world know we stand with onion!

OK, FINE, outside of starvation, poverty, or self harm to own the libs, you're not going to grab an onion and just eat it by itself raw. I'm sure there are other edgecases as well, but most people would rather have a peach by itself than an onion by itself.

Raw onions are a common side dish at Chinese restaurants in South Korea. And you sometimes see them at regular restaurants as well.
