Long Lost Family is on ABC here in Australia every day, and after watching a few of them, I've had to stop because it's too emotionally draining. Very compelling though and the people running that show are doing a real community service. If they didn't exist, the subjects of the show would just never meet.

It's about as bad luck as its possible to have. A prodigy appears just in the year when it was finally his turn. The silver lining is Toto was vindicated for pursuing Kimi. One Kimi win could have been a fluke, but not this many wins.

I still quietly hope Oscar has a championship in him. Lando seems to have lost the fire since winning WDC once.

They keep trying to make it work and it's so obviously not going to work. Also we've paid $2bn to accelerate new submarine production in the US and now we're not even getting new submarines. So do we get that $2bn back?

Ok, this one should now be fixed too. Thanks for the heads up.

This is now fixed, your visible username is JayHN going forward. Any user that signs up with capitalization in their name will have it preserved. Thanks for the report, this was an oversight that was definitely not intended.

That'll be eight different champions in eight seasons if the Spurs close it out - wild for a league that used to run on dynasties.

I agree with you, the rules are inspired by a pretty strict subreddit and another user pointed out previously how limiting this is to casual discussion and how one-size-fits-all rules don't work. So it's on the roadmap to provide rulesets that mods can pick. I didn't want to make rules a-la-carte settable by moderators, because this leads to rules accumulating to the point where users feel discouraged from posting. And one of the major complains about Reddit is how hostile it is to new users, where there are so many rules set by well-meaning moderators that users become discouraged from participating at all.

So there's a loose-standard-strict rule selector coming. Right now the site-wide rules are strict everywhere, which is stupid in retrospect and will be changed. Thanks for the really detailed feedback, you've hit upon something that is in progress.

Here's the previous discussion about this (other topics too, but rules are covered here): https://topicle.com/t/asktopicle/comments/FLrL5Zl/can_we_get_a_thread_for_suggestion_issues_/

Perhaps they shouldn't have picked someone so unelected as Paxton as their primary candidate. Too obvious, perhaps.

Democrats really don't want anyone from the progressive wing winning anything. They actually hate left-wing Dems more than Republicans, it's madness.
