We also proceeded to give the coup members nothing more than slaps on the wrist

Yes.

Wishing violence on someone, no matter how deserved, is against reddit TOS.

Doing anything at all that an advertiser might not like isn’t officially banned, but the second admins take over it’ll be all but the official policy. A doctor wants to complain about an insurance company that might advertise on Reddit? [Removed]. Want to ask about your symptoms of a drug that advertises on Reddit? [Removed].

Admins are just reddit employees and have to do whatever is best for reddit, which under spez means being as advertiser and AI friendly as possible.

Beyond that, admins can’t be fucked to respond quickly when users are doxxed, harassed, or threatened with death. And this is in a discord/slack designed to let moderators communicate with the admins. Why would they respond to anything users say on a single subreddit if they can’t even respond to dozens of mods being threatened without a board meeting first? Heaven forbid some major issues come up that need seeing to, cause the admins will not do anything.

I passed along dozens of instances of harassment, doxxing, death threats, and straight up CSAM, many of which were directed at me, inclusing having been DMed CSAM images. It would always take the admins days or even weeks to respond. When someone attempted to doxx me (with incorrect info), it took the admins nearly 2 weeks to ban the user.

I know to a lot of people this reads like the moderators just giving in to the admins, and it is, but until more and more people move here or somewhere else, reddits the main place for these groups, and therefore they have to play by reddits rules, because breaking those rules hard enough is the only time admins give a fuck, and that does not end well for users or mods.

Because then the admins will remove them as mods and install their approved puppets that will follow everything the admins tell them

Yeah, brick laying is one of those things I think most people look at and go “I could do that easily”. Then they try it and it’s actually incredibly difficult to be that good.

It’s me. I’m most people. Brick laying is hard

Thanks again for all the answers! One more “one more question” if I haven’t scared you off yet -

What are the odds I could get a picture or something specific to Google for what your sewing needle(s) look like? I’m guessing you don’t use the tiny ones people use on clothes.

A kevlar allergy is definitely an interesting one!

I gotta ask what you mean by patches. Judging by the fact you seem to mostly work on racing ships and other very expensive sailing ships, I’m guessing you don’t mean patches in the sense of filler material to fix holes?

I wonder if whoever made this panel was inspired by tracts, cause between the art, writing, tone, and subject matter it screams “tract” to me

Thanks a ton for the answers!

I’m honestly unsure where my brain got the knife thing if I’m being honest.

One more question for you if you don’t mind -

How’s kevlar to work with?

How do you get into a job like that? I figured they would mostly be made by machines nowadays.

What’s the biggest sail you’ve worked on?

Best/worst material to work with?

What kind of equipment does your job require?

You mentioned a knife but I’m guessing it’s not a common knife. I’m imagining more of a hook shaped blade to pull easier, but would love to know if I was wrong

Mind if I bug you with questions about sail making? That sounds like a super interesting job!

Damn, I was betting it was a Chick Tract

Oh, I do travel through there. I hate it for many, many reasons

Louisiana is definitely low on the list, but Mississippi and Alabama are 1000% worse. It seems like those two constantly fight to be in last place

I like snakes, but this makes me weirdly uncomfortable

Hi, web dev here -

The other guys correct. For big sites and most smaller ones, it’s because they can squeeze in SEO keywords and ad spots into their BS stories. Some smaller ones might do it cause “everyone else does it”, but the vast majority is just trying to improve recipe rankings, to the point that older recipes I’ve had bookmarked have had stories added to them years after upload.

Every game should copy Another Crabs Treasures easy mode - just hand the player s gun!

Did you not just hit the “summon a vehicle” button that the game gives you to summon one of the many cars the game gives out for free? Cause it’s there. I believe they tell you about it during the prologue and it’s enabled before then.

Did you just skip all tutorials or something? I’m struggling to understand how on earth you got stuck so bad you ended up quitting the game. Plus, if you’re half way through, you have a minimum of 2 vehicles, the starting car and Jackie’s bike, if not even more. Wtf were you even doing?

Hey uh, its me, your distant cousin from Boston!

Ah yes, the old bisexual fap
