We have a traditional dish in the UK which are meatballs made from minced pork liver and heart, mixed with bacon, onion and breadcrumbs. Unfortunately, I cannot name this dish because it shares the same name as a homophobic slur but they are known as "ducks" in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Lancashire.
Actually, the screenshots of the ban messages were found via a Google image search and are not me.
But yeah, Reddit has a problem with rude power mods swinging their banhammer. It's been documented for years.
This is actually a very good and nuanced reply.
We're going through similar problems in Britain. There are a lot of people from deprived communities that suffered during the seventies (Winter of Discontent, high inflation), had their manufacturing/mining jobs and access to social housing dismantled under Margaret Thatcher during the eighties, were ignored by successive leaders (John Major, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown), then suffered through austerity at the hands of David Cameron.
Meanwhile, the media had been pushing tonnes of hatred towards immigrants and to nobody's surprise, hate crimes against Muslims and Eastern Europeans have skyrocketed. Things are so bad that we voted to leave the European Union in 2016, voted in a corrupt Tory government that pulled us out of the bloc in 2020, and given the trend of our most recent election, it's becoming increasingly likely that we are going to vote in a far-right government by 2029 or earlier.
Swifties are an even bigger hivemind than Reddit. Game over. Kamala Harris is going to win.
Anybody who legitimately gets giddy-as-fuck over the thought of a Muslim woman being stoned to death for adultery should not be trusted with dating advice. Yet somehow this asshole has a social media following of millions, has indoctornated a lot of young people into misogynistic views (I know secondary school teachers who have seen pupils gobble up lots of Andrew Tate content), has eluded bans from mainstream social media (his shit is still all over YouTube), and still has a following despite facing rape and human trafficking charges and being on EUROPOL's wanted list.
Isn't this at all concerning, and a big sign that society is failing men?
He looks like the Stonks meme guy. No seriously...
Online dating apps. I'd:
Break up the monopoly that Match Group and Bumble Inc hold on the market, by working with the Federal Trade Commission and UK Competitions & Markets Authority.
Introduce caps on what apps can charge for Premium features. Charging the same price as several World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV subscriptions just to see likes is scummy as fuck.
Introduce mandatory ID verification to dissuade fake users, and have very strict regulations on how said data is processed and stored, with massive fines for data breaches that could easily have been avoided.
Have a correct appeals process towards account penalties/closure and outlaw the use of shadowbanning.
Facebook listening in on your microphone is one of those things that I actually believe to be true. Ever had conversations with people to then realize that you're being served targeted ads based on these conversations? Seems very coincidental.
Off is the direction in which I would like Microsoft to fuck if they think I'm gonna have a deep learning AI spy on my computer activity.
This just makes me want to switch to Linux.
Honda 100%. Even if Elon Musk wasn't a colossal douche, I wouldn't want to drive a truck that looks like it was ripped verbatim from a SNES game.
Another fun fact, the shortened version of that slur (word that rhymes with 'rag') is what we call cigarettes.
