I used reddit on desktop, didnt have an ad blocker, ocassionally clicked on ads (usually by mistake), and bought a shitload of coins. I also contributed a lot of content that people found helpful. Didnt stop me getting perma banned for reasons that I still dont understand.

I really dont think there is any algorithm or any logic or rationale behind the ban process at all, its almost completely aritrary

I can barely manage just the one. I dont know how people can juggle multiple accounts. I would get so confused

NO. Not a fan of the current or former CCP or the former Soviet Union

What is varishangout…net? Initially read it as yarishangout.net and wondered why a space for Toyota Yaris owners got defedded. Also wondering how stereophonic.space got defedded?

Oh please, its been terrible for years now and we all know it. Not in every sub, but the top level ones absolutely are

Dictator chic on a budget

Its not the theme or the going with it, it how badly they went with it. That ceiling decoration in the lounge is so … wrong. And you can buy repro ornate ceiling mouldings that would actually look OK if applied correctly too

First time I landed in Australia on the Gold Coast I followeed a bin chicken for 20 minutes with a camera trying to get the perfect picture like it was some rare exotic bird. I’m sure the locals were sremoveding or openly laughing behind my back, I dont blame them

We dont have much in the way of animals but we have birds. The Tui is common in suburban gardens here, but they are beautiful and even as a local I still like seeing them. Pukekos are everywhere but for those from the UK/ Europe/ USA they’re prett exotic. Down South, Wekas are absolutely everywhere outside the cities and will walk right into people’s homes - I once experienced coitus interruptus when a Weka jumped up on the bed I was in with a guy.

When I was in South Africa I was super excited to see baboons, locally considered something of a nuisance. And in Queensland, Australia, the first time I saw an Australian white ibis, locally known as a bin chicken, the locals must have been very amused to see me chasing it with a camera getting photos

This SO much. I was involved some years ago with a non profit, run by a guy with significant personal wealth. He burnt through nearly a million bucks, and did manage to get some change to happen , but it was incredibly difficult and incredibly slow, even with the backing and support of a number of other wealthy and connected individuals plus mass public support as well.

Somebody needs some driver training!

I will still look for a jack on my next phone, current Samsung has one, will likely buy another so I will probably buy top of their entry range

Now this… this is seriously strange. Strongest contender so far. Their track “Subways” is also quite something

Workplaces were the worst, I kept catching other people’s second hand smoke at work. Worst was when I went to an encounter group type thing and a guy was smoking and I got a faceful… and bronchitis for the rest of the trip. And that was in the 90’s

At least in my own home and car I could set the rules and rules was take that shit outside

Immortality or at least a usefully extended lifespan

So much I want to do!

I like them all bar the psychopaths. And if you’ve had a run on with one of those no explanation will be necessary

Busted in Baylor County by Shooter Jennings, found this through the good graces of Deezer last year, just loved it on first hearing and still do

Sheriff of Boone County by Kenny Price, first found this gem on a country compilation CD I got in the 80’s used to play this on repeat around the same time my first boyfriend was playing Madonna’s Vogue on repeat, that sure made for some interesting sessions at the stereo. Lost that CD and later found the track online via a user at a reddit country music sub who posted it, I couldnt remember the name for the life of me until he posted it

Thanks for this tip, I dont have trouble sleeping generally but my partner does, will look into this for him

An AI that can turn YouTube videos into written articles? Take My Money! I have been wanting this for a long time, I far far prefer stuff in writing to videos, I dont take information from audio/video anything like as well

Same here. Whatever I have now is more than good enough. What I had before was good enough too
