Doubt it. I've had other accounts banned for more and done successful appeals. Once I even got the appeal straight turned down, appealed it again, and had it reversed (once they finally got around to looking at it). Kind of the luck of the draw in terms of what admin (paid contractors, BTW) you get.

The down side to not appealing it is that I believe Reddit has an unspoken escalation policy. First they ban you for a day, then for a week, then for 3 weeks, etc. (something like that, anyway). If you get a ban reversed, it's not counted "against your record" for the next one.

But as you will. I'm not going to pretend there's not risks involved. You may also want to create another account and get it inculcated with whatever you need to continue what you want to do on Reddit (e.g. added as a mod to subs, if you are doing that anywhere). The admins don't seem to care about duplicate accounts, so long as you don't use them to circumvent bans from subreddit mod teams. Or you can do it with Tor or a VPN, of course.

And all supposing you care about continuing with Reddit in the first place. shrug-outta-hecks

Appealing it is easy, and chances are you'll get someone who just hits the undo button.

But yeah: fuck Reddit.

This has always been the case.

Whelp, probably about time to sticky another video on /r/BreadTube. It's going to be a hell of a brigade.

I think it was about 20 years ago that there was a big deal being made out of the fact tat corporations were secretly taking life insurance policies out on their own employees. IIRC based mostly on that, it was determined that the average price placed on a human life by the market was around $1M to $1.5M. Adjusted for inflation....

Yeah. IIRC the Goldstone Report literally includes an image of them using it on a hospital (which would've been in the 200X's). I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised by them using it now.

Here's basically a claim in the Guardian that Israel has finally just decided that using Iron Dome is too expensive, so it isn't even bothering to try to intercept Iran's missiles. LMFAAAAAAAO.

Guardian: Stopping Iran’s attack would have forced Israel to use sophisticated – and expensive – defences

It, of course, also repeats the claim that the attack was an utter failure because there were allegedly no fatalities. And the usual overblown claims of how effective the missile defense systems are.

Also, Biden having any actual red lines is a joke. 'Member when he said Israel invading Rafah was a red line?

They've been doing the unfortunate XR thing of intentionally getting arrested. And, TBF, they've been exonerated several times in the U.K. court system when using the argument that the property destruction is necessary to defend against genocide.

Still a stupid idea IMO. You can sustain such activities a lot longer and do a lot more of them if you fuck off anonymously and do some more tomorrow, rather than shitting around with the cops and courts and liberal injustice system in general.

Yep. Even threw shit down on drones within to damage them. Fuckin' awesome!

Contaminate? I would waste no time in taking a nice, big, juicy shit right through that hole in the roof.

Cutting back on meat doesn’t have to mean going without protein.

You shouldn't be worrying about protein anyway. You have to work really, really, really hard to not get enough protein if you are getting enough calories (yes, even if you're some kind of body builder). Like one of the only ways to be calorie sufficient but protein deficient is to eat an all-fruit diet.

The propaganda about protein started when a statement by a doctor was misconstrued back in like the 1950s, where she said you CAN get the same protein profile as eating meat by combining various plant-based sources. It was misconstrued as endorsing the idea that people NEED the kind of protein profile as you get from meat, which is 100% false (we're not rats). She has since attempted to clarify as much, but the "protein concern" is extremely convenient for the meat and dairy industry, so it keeps getting perpetuated.

You should be worried about getting all the vitamins and nutrients you need, rather than protein. And with the exception of B12 that is actually far easier to do when eating a varied, plant-based diet than when getting a significant amount of your calories from meat.

 

Dude criticizes The View (for being anti-gun), and conservatives (especially for climate denialism), and how we're all divided through propaganda in order to keep us from blaming "the politicians and the elite" in power, and talks about how bosses often try to keep us from sharing e.g. wage info with our fellow workers....

He literally has "praxis" in the name of the channel, and this particular video is called "Why You're Weak" (no, he's not talking about working out).

His solution is building community, forming relationships, and building "consensus" (even uses that term).
