Quality Contributions Report for November 2023

This is the Quality Contributions Roundup. It showcases interesting and well-written comments and posts from the period covered. If you want to get an idea of what this community is about or how we want you to participate, look no further (except the rules maybe--those might be important too).

As a reminder, you can nominate Quality Contributions by hitting the report button and selecting the "Actually A Quality Contribution!" option. Additionally, links to all of the roundups can be found in the wiki of /r/theThread which can be found here. For a list of other great community content, see here.

These are mostly chronologically ordered, but I have in some cases tried to cluster comments by topic so if there is something you are looking for (or trying to avoid), this might be helpful.

Is this a correction? Did I misquote you? My best guess is that you are saying it should be

the journalist has remarkably little faith in their own opinions to get in the marketplace of ideas

but that's not what your comment actually says, and I don't see any other obvious candidates for correction.

Sorry for the confusion, it's just an expression when you're really happy with the outcome of a result, like when a footballer scores a goal. "Get in!"

Like exclaiming "Let's Go!" when winning even though you're not going anywhere.

Precisely.

Oh! Well, thank you for teaching me something new today! I find regional idioms endlessly fascinating.

Hey don't call him that. Sheesh, you big city people.
