Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

That's kind of a broken Union Jack in the thumbnail there. The upper-right red diagonal bit is cut off there by the white cross, has a right angle in the red bit.
The Union Jack is actually defined by the ratios of the lines constructing it, rather than being a set design printed at various sizes. The two most common size ratios are 1:2 and 3:5, with 1:2 being used in official capacities and 3:5 generally being flown on land otherwise. When printed at a 3:5 ratio the design changes slightly due to the corners being positioned differently relative to each other, so the diagonals become steeper and the corners of the bottom left and top right diagonals get cut off.
Afaik it's the only flag with a design that causes this to happen when printed at different size ratios.
Interesting, thanks.
