How has the deterioration of civil discourse, censorship, removal of content and bans made on Reddit, affected its usefulness as a forum? What do you think about the opinion Reddit is simply a marketing and propaganda platform?

Oil wealth makes us weak. When you can pump $ out of the ground with minimal effort, little risk, why even try to be better? Look at financial chaos in Arab Gulf and political chaos Texas, once the toughest of people are now victims of their success. Texas, a perennial energy source, now struggles..
Texas was once the model of toughness and self-sufficiency, until the discovery of a practically unlimited supply of energy, made them the clusterfuck we now see, struggling to keep the lights on with any inclement weather. This is primarily due to rampant energy industry corruption and gross mismanagement.
Now, we see the collapse of the House of Saud, playing out in real time, a fitting demise 25 years after the 9/11 attacks they perpetrated.
Once the cleverest and most resilient of Arab people, oil wealth has made them weak, lazy and stupid.

Are Kibi valve cover gaskets as good as OEM for Mazda 1.5?
I just installed a Kibi valve cover gasket on a Mazda 1.5 in a Yaris IA, which is really a Mazda 2 made in Mexico.
The pics of this gasket are wrong on most sites, as well as 3 different part numbers. Very confusing. I thought the gasket for 1.5 in 2016 Scion or 2014 Mazda 2 would work but it's not the same. Turns out the 2017 1.5 in the Yaris IA, uses the gasket for 2017 Mazda 3 with 2.0.
The rubber on the car is high quality, the OEM lasted 196k miles. The back half of the gasket was cracked and brittle being closer to the exhaust while the other side is still flexible.
The Kibi fit perfectly, sealed equally well. Hope it lasts as long as the OEM.

China’s Purchases of U.S. LNG — Trade Tensions, Contracts, and Market Shifts China’s buying of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been shaped by both long-term energy contracts and recent trade disputes.
China is not just sitting back and watching the US implode, they're making a quick buck flipping US sourced LNG that they buy practically at cost, using the convenient excuse that a 25% tariff is too much. Anything to help take LNG out of circulation in the US, keeping US transportation dependent on the most inefficient and dirty, fossil fuel and allowing the US to continue, slowly killing themselves with diesel
US practically LNG sells at cost for export to sabotage natural gas adoption by US transporters, wanting a cheaper, cleaner fuel than dirty, old diesel, and need more LNG infrastructure to phase out the worst of fossil fuels.
But it's the profitable oil refining business that keeps everything the same with stranglehold on energy, sucking US dollars into another middle east quagmire, again.
The best part on US domestic natural gas used in the US exclusively is saving money sent to protect OPEC oil, one trillion dollars over the last 20 years.
Other benefits of natural gas include no need for refining which cuts out half on the cost of diesel, highest in octane, most efficient and natural gas abundance, altogether makes it by far, the cheapest way to move freight.
And no diesel smoke or smell.
Natural gas is considered the most fuel-efficient fossil fuel, with efficiency rates reaching up to 60%, diesel efficiency rates ranging from 30% to 38%, which is also lower than that of natural gas.
Chinese buyers that received the first U.S. LNG cargo in over a year plan to resell it on another market to profit from higher prices elsewhere and avoid paying a 25% tariff, sources familiar with the plans told Bloomberg on Monday.
The Yangpu port in south China earlier this month received a cargo of U.S. LNG from the Plaquemines LNG export terminal operated by Venture Global in Louisiana’s Plaquemines Parish. This was the first U.S. shipment of gas to China in more than a year. But the gas was offloaded into bonded storage, without being actually imported into China, because the buyer would have paid a 25% tariff on the cargo.
The cargo was bought with the intention to resell for higher prices at a non-Chinese market, according to Bloomberg’s sources.
An empty tanker has recently docked at Yangpu, likely to load the gas for re-export, vessel-tracking data monitored by Bloomberg showed.
The move suggests that China is not so starved of LNG as to be willing to pay the 25% tariff to resume importing U.S. liquefied natural gas.
Despite the Middle East war that has been choking Qatari and UAE exports for five months now, China’s LNG imports have rebounded in recent weeks amid higher seasonal demand.
China raised its liquefied natural gas imports for a second month in a row in June as the world’s top LNG buyer prepares for peak summer power demand.

Forbidden question; Ukraine attacks oil infrastructure & global economy to punish, for not funding folly. War is the ultimate polluter & consumer of fossil fuels. Why do "climate hawks" not only seem to lose their voice, but still support environmental nightmares of Ukraine, Gaza & Iran?

Fauci now pleading 5th just like Godfather of Covid he is. Pulling strings to set up banned in US, gain of function research in Wuhan. That bioweapons lab released pandemic, his "gang" made fortunes selling dangerous vaccines. They locked down economy, forced vax on fearful public or risk banishment
Way to bury the lead... The crime of century. God, this newspaper is ridiculous and now vindicates my decision to cancel my 20 yr subscription in 2016.
This man was so banal he actually wrote a personal journal like a narcissistic, 16 yr old girl, in which he implicates himself... Yet, Dr Paul is the bad guy?
And as for Democratic party which is in total disarray as reported by NYT today, trying to defend this creep is utter foolishness.

Trump backs down only to have Ukraine jump in and attack an Iranian ship? If tag team world war is the strategy, I don't think the gulf gets opened, like anytime soon. Washington Examiner; Deadly Ukrainian attack on Iranian vessel ‘cannot go unanswered,’ Tehran says.
Iran vowed revenge after a Ukrainian drone attack on an Iranian vessel killed an Iranian sailor.
Ukraine launched several long-range drones targeting ships in the Caspian Sea, hitting at least one Iranian commercial vessel. Zelensky confirmed the strike on Saturday, saying Ukraine had achieved “very strong results with long‑range strikes in the Caspian Sea – including vessels used in military cargo shipments involving Iran, as well as a warship.” Iran said the vessel hit was purely commercial and demanded that action be taken.
“Zelensky has attacked an Iranian commercial vessel, killing a sailor. A blatant UN Charter violation done at Israel’s behest to drag Europe into its war,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X. “In calls with EU High Rep Kallas and FM Lavrov, made clear that what the freeloader in Kyiv did CANNOT GO UNANSWERED.”
