Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's literally the exact same thing as we all heard someone growing say their "girlfriend" just goes to a different school. So of course no one would know her.
I had a friend like this. Funny thing is....this was high school. Some of us had cars. She only supposedly lived two cities over. I could have taken him to her house or picked them up any time they wanted. But there was always an excuse. She has to work. Got grounded at home. There was always something.
People didn't believe him for long, but he kept trying to convince us of her existence for months. Nobody in our circle ever met her.
When I was 17 I got drunk at a concert and met and eventually hooked up with some girl who went to a rival high school of ours.
The next day I didn't even really remember her name and thought nothing of it because not much happened (just making out and mutual groping, we were at a concert).
A few weeks later another friend comes up to me and is like "wait, you're dating Mary from [rival school]" and I'm like "who the hell is that?"
"She's been telling everyone in her school that's she's dating you."
I was the boyfriend in another school that you wouldn't know. Problem is that the cousin of one of her friends was my friend and did know me.
