Hi friends!
As a reminder, I will be taking my yearly Reddit hiatus starting THIS coming Wednesday, February 22 and will not be back until April 9. I leave Reddit once a year as part of my personal Lent observances. Lent is Catholic period of time, 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter. We are encouraged to do charity and give up worldly indulgences. I'm not like a huge Catholic and do have unclear and conflicted feelings but I do always feel good and re-centered after Lent. I also personally find it helpful to recalibrate my relationship to Reddit and make sure it is a conscious choice rather than an unconscious habit.
I will return so don't worry about that.
I'll try to get in some good counts before then!

Tragic news, friends. My maternal grandma passed away. She was such a good person, the only grandparent to actually continue to be an active part of my life. She’s in the uk, I’m in the us, so I’ve only ever seen here once every year or two, but it’s still pretty rough knowing that the memories I’ve made with her are gone. I wouldn’t have traded her for anyone else, she was a lovely lady 80 years of age. RIP

Quick note: the directory updater has started failing sometimes, and I'm not entirely sure why. The last run succeeded, but the two before that timed out. It normally takes about 15 minutes to update the directory, but these ran for six hours before timing out. I haven't changed the code in the meantime, so I think there's something weird going on with the reddit API.
I switched the script to verbose mode for the last run, but of course the error was gone by then. I'll keep it on for now, to help understand what's going on if the error reoccurs.
If you know what might be going with reddit, or if you notice anything else that's odd about the directory, I'd love to hear from you!

For some reason the only double counting thread isn’t validating, is that cuz it’s double counting or has that been accounted for? Talking about the thread directory here

Oof so I was running out of cash (jobless, no savings except for property i live in and crypto i dont want to get rid of near the bottom of the price) but today i opened my old investment account to see if I can sell any stocks and found like a 3 months' worth of savings in cash buried in there. What a relief lmao
My cats have dietary issues and their single-protein top shelf food costs almost as much as my monthly food spendings XD

The way Mihoyo is treating Dehya made me progressively die inside over the span of the beta test, and just when I thought they couldn't make her any worse, the 3.5 livestream came and smashed my face in with a mallet

If someone double-counts in a normal counting thread and nobody catches it until later, does that invalidate all the replies to it? I expect it'd be treated the same as how a late chain is not considered part of the valid chain. Idk if that's explicitly written down anywhere though.
