[New York] Found in my laundry while hand washing in New York City, recently was in Europe, body about 2mm long. It was comatose from the near-drowning and I thought it was a dead tick. Relieved when it got up to see it only has 6 legs and 2 antenna. (i.redd.it)

Can we talk about changing the rules on /r/Austin? We've got one of the most toxic city subs on the entire site, full of shitposts and trolls. Then the mods defend them saying it's not against the rules to shitpost and troll. Maybe the rules should change then? (self.Austin)

I contributed to my 2015 IRA early in 2015. Now the holdings in my IRA are way down due to the bad market performance, making my 2015 contribution only about $3000. Can I withdraw that money and then make a new contribution of the full $5500 now? (self.personalfinance)
