That's an increase of about 42%, for those wondering.

> The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline received over 1.7 million calls, texts and chats in its first five months.

(I really hate when articles etc. give bare numbers with no context. A better title would be "...988 saw a 42% increase in number of calls, texts...")

Like I said I have No problem with the animals they already have as long as they have a adequate habitat. I mean how long did it take zoos to realize that elephants need room to roam? There is no need to breed while in captivity other than to make money. And I hope I’m wrong on this one but they usually sell the baby to another zoo. I’ll never see a baby being born in captivity as uplifting news.

This isn't a democracy.

It's a subreddit run by specific people with specific rules, and you are under no obligation to comment anything. It's intended to be a place where people actually try to be positive or at least not negative for a change. Which is a nice little island in a massive sea of negativity on all the other subs.

If you can't resist being pessimistic for a little bit, this isn't the place for you.

So? Women's football isn't the biggest spectator sport in the world

I'm going to be glad when it gets to the point that tennis is at and we can just omit the "women's" when v discussing it (you don't need to say "Serena Williams won the gold medal in women's doubles in tennis", for instance), but I'm really not sure what pretending we're already there brings us
