I got auto-banned after commenting on a reddit post because the bot searched my entire post history and found I had commented on NSFW threads in the past! The extra fun part was that I really hadn’t. The NSFW threads were from subs that had turned that flag on for all posts out of protest for Reddit’s closed API debacle. In short, exactly as you describe. Intending to quash the revolution.

Hmph. I spend ten minutes making a stupid meme using this ridiculously opaque phone markup app, only to be immediately downvoted. This is what I get for trying to elevate the quality of political discourse.

Fascinating proposal, professor. Thankfully I can adjust my equations quite easily:

2 ≥ 2

I don’t trust the liberal science agenda so I did my own research. Using some back-of-the-napkin math and my telescope, I’m now blind from looking at the sun through a telescope. This is being transcribed by my trad wife. My results:

2 > 1

This one checks out, folks.

Lmk if you find out. Maybe something with… lasers?

Or at least use his dog in the fake photo?? Cmon, he’s got one creature on this planet that loves him (ignorance is bliss), and he leaves it out of the family photo?!

What a monster, lol

He’s a boomer. He probably went drinking with the committee and woke up with a pass.

He also said he wouldn’t run again if he lost to Biden 4 years ago. Why does anyone believe a single word that comes out of his shithole of a mouth?

Why not leave it open? Haha, I’m just finding this thread a month later and would like a shirt…

Use vs. Possession

Possession is the behavior that’s typically illegal, but use is legally tolerated because people can be exposed to it (the article gives the example of farmers being exposed while producing legal hemp).

Those are all basically the same thing and qualified by the main point: Like elsewhere in the world, there are crappy people in quantities relative to the population size, given disproportionate exposure by the unflattering confirmation bias of media.

I dunno what that other guy is smoking, I appreciated the level-headed perspective your explanation offered.

The fun is just starting. Only a matter of time until the glaciers melt even more and release untold hell upon us!

The “joke” is that it’s an issue that people feel compelled to comment on, but the sleeping person can’t. Predictably, most people are blowing straight past this and commenting their opinions, but most of the other replies are joking or whimsical. Yours is straightforward no-nonsense. If I had to guess, I’d say that’s why you’re being singled out.

In a perfect world, they keep right on marching to the kremlin, shoot Putin in the head, turn around and walk home to Ukraine without any more death or suffering

Unrelated to the story, but that dune buggy/atv thing in the thumbnail looks fun as hell

I’m not usually this petty, but… haha, get fucked

The cars are actually great, unfortunately

Wow, I’m just learning about this guy, but based on what I’ve read so far (this post and others), I couldn’t be happier.
