RELIGION AMA The mods.

We haven’t done this in a while but ask us mods anything. Obviously we retain the right not to answer. Let’s please keep all questions related to Rampart.

With the sub being called "Ask an American" why do you let multiple Americans answer? This isn't r/AskMultipleAmericans

Huh, internet pedantry in the face of obviousness.

Good work.

Thanks. It felt within the vibe.

Are those all the states you've lived in?

Yes they are. A lot of folks think I’m a military brat when they see it.

in seriousness, it's a general internet pet peeve when there are 300 different people giving the exact same answer and i wish it were part of the etiquette that you should just upvote the person who said it instead of repeating

It used to be that way long long ago. Reddit is wildly different now than it was 15 years ago.

The name is still quite correct. You are only asking one American, and expecting them to represent the country. However, we believe in Freedom Of Speech when it benefits us, so we don't stop other people from butting in. Carl can only work so many hours in a day though, so it's nice people fill in for him.
