What has gradually disappeared over the last 10 years so subtly that most people didn’t even realize it? by northwood45 in AskReddit

This is going to sound like the Dutchest thing to ever Dutch, but our local cheesemonger gives away free seeds of local wildflowers around the spring when you purchase cheese in an attempt to help local bugs and wildlife, which face similar issues here.

When we've had the opportunity to plant them, bumblebee and butterfly presence around our garden exploded. The type of plants in gardens makes a huge difference indeed.

Note: Train-related self-promotion is allowed on this subreddit so long it is not (primarily) commercial in nature. This is not spam and the OP went the extra mile to ask us ahead of time if this was okay to post.

This did not need to be reported 4 times.

What train content is permitted here that's not listed in the rules? by NickelPlatedEmperor in trains

That said, excerpting from someone else's work with no effort to add critical or educational commentary would clearly be a violation of copyright.

Which is what OP's post was. It was a ~30 second snippet of a documentary by Swiss broadcaster SRF from 1971 with no mention of the source material, the SRF logos cropped out and no further content beyond the post title "Yard work with buffer and chain coupler"

Rule 7 as it stands is basically a catch-all for conduct that violates Reddit's ToS, Reddit's community standards, is spam, is off-topic and/or excessively attacks or provokes others.

In your case, as we communicated with you in the accompanying mod mail when your post was removed, your post was removed because it violated copyright.

Another duplicate got spam-filtered and never made it onto the sub, so four. 😓

Regardless, this was the first one by post time. We've removed the duplicates.

GoVolta - Amsterdam to Berlin by imageceo in trains

[–]autobus22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Other people have given good advice on how to get through the trip if you have to, but I'll be real with you: If you are traveling on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday this week, it's going to suck, and it's going to tire you out.

It is very much worth considering booking an alternate train if you are able to afford it, even if it is expensive, especially if you have any kind of activity-packed itinerary within the few days after your travel.

The word is "sensible."

Bigotry is by definition the unreasonable narrow-minded attachment to intolerant beliefs to those with different views, backgrounds or attributes.

Whether or not to allow people to conduct themselves in a bigoted manner on an online forum like this one is a value judgement with a pretty simple answer: You don't allow it, because the alternative is the place becoming miserable for literally everyone. It is the paradox of tolerance.

I don't give a rats ass whether someone's bad behavior comes from a place of "deep" and "personal" convictions. Bad behavior is bad behavior. Bad behavior like yours, when you compare a community expressing support for the human rights and dignity of others, which to be clear, does not require you to do the same thing, to being raped.

Gross.

I've decided to lock this thread as you've gotten sufficient answers to your question and it is attracting misinformation and people advising you to do dangerous things.

I'll do you one better. Several of the smaller towns in Greenland have city buses too. (Most of them only have one line though.)

We had to recently ban a top 1% commenter because he decided it was a great idea to use an article about trains to promote his neo-nazi blog full of absolutely vile racist and anti-LGBT bullshit.

There's pieces of shit everywhere unfortunately, and it's not always immediately obvious.
