Needs more orange!

Also for reference, the current flag of florida.

Here's a post by him that I had to remove.

Nope. That amendment is actually still pending since 1810.

It's so obvious when someone is only making a post to further their own agenda about a topic, yet nothing is ever done about it.

If you message the mods about it, you'll usually have a quick response and also most likely the post will be removed if you can prove how it's misleading. This is often easy to do because a lot of the political posts rely on being misleading.

Especially when people use [1] /r/TIL because it is posted under the guise of being factual.

If you can prove that the title doesn't line up with the information presented (nonfactual) you can easily have it removed.

Even though it isn't against the rules depending on which subreddit it's in, it has resulted in a lot of biased posts like the one you are referring to.

You can nub these types of posts before they get popular if you visit the new tab in /r/todayilearned and following the advice I gave you. :)

It's slightly older than 2 months so it's technically not recent news according to the rules so it wouldn't be right if I were to remove it even if it is a crappy post.

Oh! I though you meant to comment on the cb post that was just talking about logical fallacies and posted in here by mistake!

Sidenote: krugmanisapuppet is batshit insane.

I think you got the wrong post. : (

Nope. There is often a lot of overlap between /r/politics, /r/atheism, and /r/todayilearned subscribers because they're all default subs. The people who are exclusively for /r/todayilearned for interesting facts and not agenda pushing (or stroking and jerking) are therefore outnumbered.

How about linking it to exactly where you found it next time?

The solution.

EDIT: Also the til post that prompted me to post this in the first place.

The relevant information can be found under the section "Human cost" in the last sentence.

Also the relevant Wikipedia page.

These comments seem to explain the phrase.

It is said that local sightings of this creature could just be a sun bear. Never knew there was even such a bear in the first place.

I really like my country's flag (USA). I can understand why people don't like it because of the amount of stripes and stars but I like the design. I find it communicates that America is a large country. Not only that but the canton makes it easy to make a limitless amount of variations of the flag which is always fun!

I could also talk about why the common argument against the historical Jesus, that there is no source discussing him contemporary to his life, is absurd and completely misunderstands the nature of classical historiography.

Oh please do! This is the pinnacle argument that /r/atheism uses on why Jesus (as a person) never existed.
