Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Skipping rope you muppet. Not a set of electric wires but a bit of plastic with handles you fucking frolic thru you toss pot.
Not to mention. Their are far far more legitimate reason for someone to carry electrical wires. Then non legitimate ones.
I regularly work on my boats electrics. Where I carry 35mm2 wire and other electrical parts to the boat. As my vision means driving is not possible. This means busses and walking in the street to the boat yard.
If police stopped and pointed guns at me. And I heard multiple officers calling "Shoot Him". I'd sure as fuck be suing them. And fucking fuming in the press.
And anyone calling me Sus would likely be told to go fuck themselves.
