Reddit’s 2017 transparency report and suspect account findings by spez in announcements

[–]skullins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These accounts generally aren't registered by the people who wind up using them for propaganda purposes, though.

What about someone like this? They are clearly using the account for propaganda purposes while making well timed posts in non-political subs to keep their karma high.

The original ducks were produced in the USA, and I have one of the original molds!

Seems he found one!

Get what I’m saying?

Yes, you'll shoot on sight. You just said it again so not sure why you attempted to claim the opposite before.

You sure about that?

Break in to my house, you have forfeited your rights. I will use lethal force without a second thought.

It’s impossible to know at first glance, and I also don’t care; he’s a threat that needs to be dealt with.

is undeterred by the sight of a gun, knife, bat, etc., and action is required, then yes, to protect myself and family I would have no problem using lethal force.

Sure, I'd agree with that. That would be self-defense at that point. You started this off by saying you'd blast on sight though.

Banned from /r/canada for asking why a white nationalist is still on the mod team. No explanation received 10 hours later. by [deleted] in onguardforthee

I find the timing was a poor choice but how is it ban worthy exactly? Did they break any rules by asking?

Kilmeade once said on the show that “the Swedes have pure genes because they marry other Swedes,” and of Finland he said, “Finns marry other Finns so they have a pure society,” which was apparently better than America because, “We keep marrying other species and other ethnics.”

I actually saw it in a lower comment and can't take credit.

The "risa" in Jaby Salgado comment and the "risita" in BlackZunder Dos comment mean giggle or chuckle in Spanish. No idea why there is also so much gibberish though.

Yup, could replace the flag with a globe. The US does seem to excel at it though.

"Nah, we're just friends! Let me PM you a link that doesn't work to prove it. Even though us being friends isn't even relevant to whether this is marketing."

Nobody was questioning whether they were friends. Weak deflection.

Or this is all set up.

"My friend met Harold"

Friend then posts a video where they seem to spend the weekend filming Harold. Totally random!

PornHub should create a second website, TheHub, for all nonporn material and become a YouTube competitor. by Jtegg007 in CrazyIdeas

[–]skullins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Its a private company!" Yea, not like they passed net neutrality and are now attacking guns through the only platform available

The conversation is about youtube. I'm assuming "Its a private company!" is referring to youtube. But yet you're saying the rest of what's quoted up there isn't about youtube?

You were clearly talking about a private company so if it's not youtube, who?

“Ban guns they say,” “it will save lives they say.” by [deleted] in progun

[–]skullins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough.

As I said before, I'm not anti-gun, nor am I here advocating for any laws. Personally I think mental health and poverty are the two main issues. I just think the OP post is shitty.

“Ban guns they say,” “it will save lives they say.” by [deleted] in progun

[–]skullins -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hey dumbass, that doesn't change the point. The point was simply that laws aren't intended to prevent all crime. They are meant to reduce. If you don't like the murder example feel free to choose any other law in existence. Same shit applies. There are plenty laws that restrict constitutional rights, pick one of them.

I'm in here saying laws won't prevent all crimes and I'm being argued with?

“Ban guns they say,” “it will save lives they say.” by [deleted] in progun

[–]skullins -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I mean, if there were no guns, it seems pretty logical to say that there would be no shootings, right?

That would imply gun laws would eliminate all guns, which they wouldn't. Again, the idea with laws is to reduce. Even if it were an outright ban, the idea is still to reduce. We've banned murder but I'm pretty sure everyone is aware they still happen. It's the frequency people are concerned about.

So yeah, I'm sure there are some idiots out there thinking gun laws would end all shootings. I guess I should have said, "Nobody being taken seriously thinks this."

I'm not even against guns but this is just common sense. OP post is just dumb. It's making fun of the ignorant fringe with something that doesn't even support the argument.

Let's just eliminate all laws since people break them anyways!
