A clear difference between two moderation appeals I filed last month

My local news station pulled a similar thing last year with their comment section. They'd delete anything calling out a sponsor but left up actual hate speech for days. It's the same selective enforcement, just makes you trust the whole system less.

Found a copy of 'The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian' in a Little Free Library in my Ohio town last month.

My kid's school library pulled that one last year. Found a copy at a garage sale for fifty cents.

Lost a whole afternoon to a seized glow plug

Remember trying to get a frozen brake line fitting loose on my truck. Spent an hour fighting it, getting mad, and almost rounded it off. Went inside for a beer and left the penetrant on. Came back an hour later and it turned like nothing. That soak time is real, it's not just sitting around.

Just realized my kid's school quietly pulled 'The Bluest Eye' from the 11th grade list

Oh man, @robin489, that ketchup struggle is so real! My nephew once used his math homework as a plate for a jelly sandwich. I had to hold it up to a lamp to see the equations through the grape smears. We never did figure out problem four.

Got told my 'work from anywhere' setup was basically a public wifi security nightmare in Lisbon

Oh man, I wish it was something that cool. Nope, I was just trying to watch a dumb cat video on a public network. My phone asked if I wanted to join, I hit yes, and bam. Next thing I know I'm getting a warning from my own email about suspicious activity. My life is so boring it's a security threat.
