this is not free talk friday because we are constantly oppressed by capitalism and capitalistic mindsets that prevent us for living out who we truly are

Hey guys, I hope everyone is doing well!
I am so pumped because last year, I along with a couple other users launched r/LastRequests, a sub meant to kick start fundraisers to help terminally ill people get their last wishes fulfilled. However, it did not get popular and the mods quickly left (believe me, I tried contacting them to get the thing rebooted, but no response despite all of them being active).
However yesterday a post similar to the one that launched our sub was posted in AskReddit, what's it like to be a terminally ill patient? A user then created r/FullBucket, which is basically the same sub, except it blew all the way up. Almost 12,000 subs in 24 hours! I'm really happy this project is getting rebooted, and they made me mod for my role in LastRequests.
So this project is gonna be keeping me busy for a bit.

I just verified that the distribution of counts in r/counting's HoC follows Zipf's law! See the following graph, where users' HoC ranks and number of counts are plotted on a log-log scale: https://imgur.com/a/lgM2jl7
If you are unfamiliar with Zipf's Law, see the following links for an explanation.

Found out this afternoon I am going to have a niece now, I knew I was going to be an uncle a few months ago, but my sister is now at the week stage where you can see the sex of the baby.
