It's not random. It's definitely purposeful.
I do understand what you are saying.

Soon you can’t even safely upvote without expecting a random ban.
Someone yesterday ot the day before posted a screenshot of their ban for "up voting non-violent Luigi content"
The ban said "although you didn't post the bad content you up voted it and that's bad and you're bad"
Man I just love being undesirable in every country due to my beliefs, lifestyle, or lack of a degree.
Had that happen on Amazon and ebay multiple times
I always tell them I'll only increase it one star and the reason for the change will be the first thing anyone sees in the review, even above the original review.
So far I've only had one taker.
Here are your options:
Leave it alone.
Or go around.
I'm from the united states Midwest and have Heard people claim to be local to cities while living 20miles away from city limits.
I'll die on this hill.
Janeway made the practical call, the one that maximized survival for the entire crew.
As one entity on a starship with limited manpower and no resupply guaranteed, they need all the people they can get.
Yes, neelix and kess weren't going to be on board originally. That is irrelevant at the time of his Tuvixation. He's there, and they can't afford to lose him, regardless of how atrocious his leeola root stew is.
Not to mention that tuvok played a very important role for Janeway, one that I don't believe tuvix could handle. He was the one who reminded her of the "proper" thing to do that follows protocol. He's the cool head. The logical one who remains calm when everyone else loses their shit. Chakotay isn't on that level. Tuvix was too emotional.
Janeway made the right call.

This one. Sorry for the confusion.
The thing I like about that one, and other references like that in comedy shows (especially animated) is that often you don't need the pop culture reference, it fits with the zany comical nature of the show. It's not outside the norm, or at least not far.
And with the comic above, I didn't NEED to hear/know the song to get the joke. I didn't think it was "you'll find your drill on blueberry hill" but I figured it was something about a song and something that rhymed with "hill".
It was easy to search, too.
My wife has been watching some of the shows I loved growing up, and she's only 2 years younger than me, but because she watched modern kid shows as a kid and I watched old stuff with my parents, I get a lot of references she doesn't.
As long as you can show it to someone without the pop culture knowledge and they still find it funny, it's still a successful joke.
I am fully aware and believe there are people who can no longer exist/function in society today, and they absolutely should be reassesed with massive amounts of therapy and everything to try and reintegrate them, but not released after some arbitrary deadline.
I was simply pointing out a straw man when I saw it.
Why exclude “somewhat positive”?
Because they're making their argument in bad faith, or they stopped after getting the part they wanted and didn't bother looking any further.
I rode a bicycle 120 miles a few years back just because I felt like it one day. I'm probably not the best just for what's considered "reasonable"
That said, it really is the joke/meme "Americans think 100 years is a long time, Europeans think 100 miles is a long distance"
Personally, I feel like if I'm more than 3 miles away, I'm not local. I may be "from the area" but I'm not "a local"
Most people I know wouldn't consider 50 miles to be "close" though in terms of "can I pop over for a quick trip or do I need to plan my day around it"
As for car rides, like.... If I'm driving I don't mind so much because I'm occupied by trying not to die, but as a passenger anything over 5 minutes is not a "quick trip"
