>3- For things like the lockdown "protests" (that are basically color revolutions funded by imperialist countries)
This kids is how you identify a Tankie. Tankie is a slur used for Authoritarians who pretend to be leftist. They will more often than not deny any crime that the states that they support commit, and if you can prove a crime, they'll say that it was justified.
Tankies are not leftists.

Unless the country runs an Intranet (which would cripple the country in many ways), outside access must be possible. If outside access is possible, there's several ways of accessing the internet in ways that are untraceable. These ways aren't secret, the government knows about them, there's just little that can be done if you want the benefits of the internet in your country.

I've been there before, I've done a complete 360 on a highway before, fortunately the people in behind me saw it happening and slowed down. The roads can get pretty bad, and sometimes you can just kind of fuck up. Couldn't happen in this case here, but it's sometimes amazing to see the people on the road react responsibly to others who have lost control.

This is correct. The badge thing is a common myth.

We do, and generally better winter drivers, but sometimes shit happens, or goes awry. We also have our share of idiot drivers and people who are new to the country. So yeah, we tend to be ready for it, but also, again, shit happens.

Reply to comment by nayhem_jr in ELI5: Why does MSG make food taste so irresistible? And why is everyone against it? by theinvincible-dosa
Adding again, many use MSG being bad to justify their own racism. The ingredient has been racialized even though it's in many processed foods.

Reply to Methane Emissions From Oil and Gas Wells Are Much Higher Than Thought, Study Shows by raulbloodwurth
Companies have hidden real emission values or gone through minimal efforts to check their accuracy? Shocker.

Oak trees and squirrels is an interesting one. Red oak specifically, acorns only gestate after winter, squirrels store red oak acorns and when they eat them, tend only to eat the top of them since that part contains less tannins. The lower part of the acorn contains the actual germ. So squirrels will often gather and safely store acorns for the winter, then spread them to new location during the summer while allowing them to germinate.
