RE: Australia is Burning
It's hard to fathom the level of bravery and selflessness to be a volunteer firefighter. these people have families to support and feed and they put that all aside to fight fires for zero pay. There's

RE: AFL End of Season Ladder Prediction (Round 8)
lol.. it takes a courageous umpire to make that call after the siren - and if he's courageous then he's probably not an umpire to begin with :D

RE: 👎 It's okay to downvote
How about the elephant in the room - the extreme disparity between the vote weights (both upvotes and downvotes) between people with larger holdings and those without. I don't think I would be downvoting

RE: How can we increase the utility and benefits of holding Steem Power?
Personally, I think the curve of influence that SP gets you is way out of skew. Whales are incentivised way too much, while minnows don't see that the little steem they've invested is getting them any

RE: My predicted top 8
You can potentially win the next 4 games and go into the bye round 7-4. I think your draw is generally easier because of where you finished last year. I've got Melbourne winning 7 straight from rounds

RE: Downvoting Made Easier
Unfortunately it doesn't change the disproportionate imbalance between the values of one person's vote vs that of another. I understand that the platform is built around the concept of rewarding

RE: Downvotes it is
I haven't been around here much lately and am interested to see this change. Is there any change to the underlying functionality or is just a cosmetic UX alteration? Edit: should have read comments first,

he's quite savage in some of his rebukes, which makes it all the more funny. he had his sights on crypto a couple of months ago - unfortunately he did a great job of describing some of the major issues

RE: Can Collingwood win the flag?
probably moreso AFL than other sports - a lot of the rules are very much open to interpretation whereas most other sports the rules are black or white.

RE: Can Collingwood win the flag?
if you were down here and missed out on seeing a game that's a shame. it's fairly reasonably priced and accessible. I find every sport is a unique experience when attending live as opposed to other sports

RE: Can Collingwood win the flag?
I think you're being overly generous with 65% - maybe 55-60%. but you're right - it does depend on how teams handle the pressure - it's a new game once the H&A ends.
