That's one way to view it. Personally, I think it works the opposite. The voting only gives the community so much power. Often the content starts dictating the community, not the other way around. With enough low effort and uninteresti

You got 2 hours into the game and dropped it because you felt the themes were surface level? You were unironically filtered. The game does name drop a lot philosophers, but it's meant to contextualize, not as part of the game's th

I lived in Berlin for a year and literally can't go to big cities anymore. The pollution triggers my asthma to the point I have continuous attacks despite taking all the medication I can responsibly take. Thankfully my home town is far

A friend of mine had job offer with a 24-hour deadline on hand. A past colleague of ours gave him a referral at his company, and he received an offer with ~80% higher TC an hour later after a quick phone screen. Happened in Norway.

"There isn't enough space anyway" is not an argument for letting housing prices run rampant. With our current trajectory, housing is going to create a new class system, in which people with housing can afford housing, and tho

In my eyes, this maturation has come at the expense of the creativity of SCP. Everything feels so sterile now. You have angels, demons, racist monsters that communicate through condensation on windows... SCP, and similar works of fiction, t

People can make up whatever motivation they want if they feel slighted. All it takes is for the female founder to ascribe sexism to the VC when he suggests swapping CEOs, and you've got the entire media circus on your neck. And then pe
