It's not the story, it's you they are blocking.Reddit blocked me from posting this story in /r/todayilearned:
The wild and irresistibly saucy tale of the curry con man
J. Ranji Smile served Indian food and tall tales to a hungry American public. Was he the first "celebrity chef" or a crook? The truth is complicated.www.vox.com
I have no idea why, it seems like perfect TIL material. Their auto-moderation system sucks.

I told Perk that a couple of years back right before he locked my account.Oh contraire, they LOVE me on Reddit. I'm up to almost 30,000 Karma over there now
Woke up at 530 and couldn't go back to sleep. I'm sitting here waiting to take a shower and start my day but I don't want to wake the house up.
I got diagnosed with Shingles on Friday. They say that one of the things that triggers it is stress.
I had plenty of that last week... we were migrating a data center to AWS and we were literally still moving the last few clients over the day before the old data center was going to be shut down. What a shit show that turned out to be.
niceI bought some water cooling stuff from OfferUp. The seller sent a note while I was driving to meet him. He told me that he didn't have time to pull one of the res/pumps and a radiator I didn't pay for out of the TT Core5. He said I could take it for free. Now I have an extra build that I feel obligated to complete in a case I didn't pay for.
Top 20 in the thread I think.
Why not call them and ask for a credit limit increase? They'll likely grant it to you readily....Want to order something online but my Capital One card doesn't have enough $$$ available. So I went to pay down the bill so I'd have enough to order. But it won't let me pay the amount I need too because 2/3rd of the charges are from the 3rd & 4th of this month and are all still pending. So it's telling me I can only pay $25 at the moment because technically minus the pending that's all my balance is. Their system should see the charges as pending and let a person pay them off. Capital One always seems to take 3 or 4 friggin days to clear transactions.

In America, we just increase it for good but don't increase the repayment amount....Often they can also approve a one-time transaction which exceeds credit limits without actually raising the spending limit on your account.

A novel idea that totally slipped my mind, I don't need it anymore but just for shits and giggles, I just went and requested one to see what would happen. WOW they offered me a whopping hundred bucks. I'm making light of the small amount, but you'd think a customer who's never missed a payment for the 2 years he'd had the card would be worth more than $100. #1stworldproblems I know my credit's pretty terrible, but they did give me a card. Also out of boredom, I applied to see if I was eligible for any other card from them.
I got exploding confetti and a CONGRATULATIONS message that I was approved, yeeeah! It was for a secure card.
Sadly the $100 increase STILL isn't enough for me to be able to make the purchase I was trying to, and I STILL can't make a fucking payment for amount I need because of the stupid pending transactions from the damn 4th, sheieieieieiet! 2 of the pending transactions have already been delivered lol. #1stworldproblems
Would likely have gone better had you called them to do this.
