This strip had a profound effect on my life after I read it for the first time. To this day it still means a lot to me. Thank you for sharing your story and to your brother for sharing his art. https://xkcd.com/154/

I think something that would incentivize those longer-form interactions would be to remove the upvote/downvote system and replace it with something similar to what SA had back in the day, where you could label posts with "Insightf

And really beyond rivals.com, your team-specific forum is even better. I was a frequent poster on shaggybevo before it became surlyhorns, and still hang around there. Though there are some absolutely unhinged posters on them (you get that w

It was specifically made to be a left-wing alternative for reddit back when the admins were beginning to crack down on the leftist subs like r/fullcommunism and the like. Not sure how it could ever serve as a full-on replacement, it ne

I think it's generally better to take the short-term productivity hit to train the new hire than it is to leave them to the wolves for your own work. Two heads are better than one and all that
