I'm not being facetious, but how many countries that were part of the Arab spring are now not effectively Islamic dictatorships?

It was a great thing at the time but it seems to me to have not paid off.

Fair enough. If you were making the post in good faith and starting or continuing a discussion, it sounds like you shouldn't have been banned.

I got a perma ban from r/worldnews for being a "covidiot", I can't remember exactly why, but I wasn't saying COVID is a hoax, being antivax or telling people not to wear masks or anything else like that, I just had a point of view that was slightly off kilter from the echo chambers narrative. The post was on topic, I was being civil, making the argument in good faith and had written it well. I told the mod that banned me what I thought of them. Good riddance.

What's the crime? Honest question, I'm not being facetious.

Presumably (if I had access to Putin) I could phone him and ask him to not escalate the war. Why is that illegal?

Copied my comment from a similar thread;

I'm not against the principle of higher taxes if it was going to make society a better place for all of us but this shit makes my blood boil.

With this sum you could have bought nearly 5,000,000 single chamber bat boxes, enough to fix one on 1/6 dwellings in the UK with enough room to house up to 100 bats in each (I couldn't find a source but I'd be surprised to find that there are more than 500 million bats in the UK). Who the fuck is signing this shit off?

What for lol?

What you have described already exists. (I hate it when I have a great idea and it's already been done!)

In some applications, you don't even need a positive pressure to reseal the valve, gravity is enough. The main weakness of this type of condensate valve is that they can be held open if there is any grit or dirt that prevents the ball making a good seal.

Seeing the same old predictable jokes and pun threads as top comments with thousands of upvotes in serious posts was one of my least favourite things about Reddit.

Any post related to WWII - Top comment "I did Nazi that coming!" 5000 upvotes

The circle jerk was truly shit.

Maybe it's different in your area. Where I live the local fishing spot is nearly all men.

Buy an extra rod and a headphone splitter :p
