Tripod users will find they're not welcome in a lot of places where it's otherwise ok to take photos. This isn't a British thing, I've seen it in touristy areas around the world.

FPH essentially put itself into a position where it had to be banned: 1. Imgur blocked its images from being shown on FPH, essentially crippling the subreddit 2. In response, the FPH mods put a collage of Imgur's overweight staff in th

In the South East of England I found that estate agents were very proactive, stereotypical Audi TT-driving widemen who wore suits and had good haircuts and would work hard to make a sale. When it came time to sell then I found them to be la

I'd rather it helped people to write coherent questions rather than the usual dumping of a few irrelevant lines of logs onto the page and asking "please help".

Reddit has a sea of moderators who quietly moderate hobby subreddits that they're interested in, and then a small number of power moderators who moderate hundreds of subreddits each (and who have coordinated these blackouts). These pow

Twitter handles are analogous to Reddit usernames and not subreddits (which are arguably analogous to hashtabs).
