Is there a particular country that exemplifies communism to you?

Agree. Came in to say woodpecker. I have similar holes in my new wood siding and heard/watched him do it.

It is absolutely a trap. But if you’re on the hunt for friends, it’s friends in a barrel.

I feel like it’s visiting a friendly village I love rather than getting lost in a city that’s interesting because it’s awful. Honestly, I come here as much as I did reddit at this point. Less flashy. More endearing.

Absolutely! I use it all the time and the more resources they have, the more all my old teachers will have to eat their words.
