        You’re right! We aren’t there yet. Every time this happens we roll the dice on whether the required mutations occur for it to go H2H, though.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
