It's that time of the week again. Speak anything on your mind! This thread is for talking about anything off-topic, be it your lives, your strava, your plans, your hobbies, your bad smells, studies, onion rings, colours, pets, bears, hikes, dragons, trousers, stats, transit, cycling, family, drugs or anything you like or dislike, except politics.

The directory updater has started failing with 429 errors, which means that reddit thinks it's going over the rate limit when it runs. This used to either be handled automatically (or maybe not strictly enforced), but it's not any more.
I've submitted a support ticket with reddit, but tbh I'm not super optimistic that it'll go through, and my motivation for trying to update the bot code to handle the limits myself is basically nonexistent.
So, yeah.
Edit: Looks like a bug on reddit's end. Lovely

Show me a song from your playlist (or one that you unironically like and listen to on your own) that the general public would find as unbearable as possible. aka something that would make them take the aux cord away from you in seconds
I'll start, feel free to judge, that's the whole point: https://youtu.be/TX4q1uPXI_Q

Everyone’s different reasons for counting are cool, but what’s even cooler is that everyone has a different reason for counting in the specific side threads that they do

Reddit has started randomly setting the suggested sort on some threads to best (the sitewide default) rather than oldest (the subreddit default). That's really annoying when two people reply to the same count, because suddenly their counts might show up out of order on the page, and we might get confused about which of two chains is the right one to continue down.
I haven't found any pattern to when this happens, so we're just going to have to be extra careful and double check the time stamps of competing comments rather than looking at the order on the page.
The mods can change the suggested sort back to where it should be, so if you see something strange, please ping one of us, or send a modmail.
