    I guess you are right. Just different points that are all pretty much accurate. Thank you for the discussion though. Enjoy your weekend!

    And if the poster can't write a few sentences to get the discussion going, he doesn't have a real reason to post it except for point collecting.

    It's really not that hard to put some thought into a post, if you are really interested in it. I don't see why are you fighting so much against it. If the article really doesn't provoke you to write just two lines of text, then is it really a worthwhile post?

    How looking for posts works for me is:

    1. Is the title interesting? If yes, I will click on it
    2. is the content of the post interesting? if yes, I will read it.
    3. do I have something to say to contribute for this post? If yes, I will comment.

    If all the content is just the news article, it's usually not interesting enough to proceed to the third step, and even if it is, It's really difficult to start a discussion. All in all, It's just really low effort to post seemingly random news articles.

    Also you don't have to make a summary of the article. You have to start a discussion.

    I don't read news, since I feel there are too many clickbait titles on no matter which news site, so I am not in a position to post thought provoking news articles, but what I want to say is that there is no reason to spam low effort content. Low effort content in this context is seemingly random links to news articles. If I wanted to see just random articles, I'd go to any news website, but for this web page, as I've understood correctly, thought provoking or posts that light up discussion are what we are after.

    Oh boy, really sorry about that. Posted that on my new phone, and as it turns out, I can't use the keyboard of this thing. Thanks for notifying me though, fixed my original post.

    How is copying a news link and then just posting it here quality though? It seems to me that all it does is make people read the headlines and that's it. As the op said, There should be a discussion around the certain posted news story, starting with the poster stating why he posted said news article. That way there's actually a reason why someone posted the article. A post without any real reason is not really a quality post, in my opinion.

    I don't really listen to chiptune any more, but look up Danimal Planet's album Roots. Haven't heard a better chiptune album.

    This is a really good idea, but there has to be a button that lets you turn off the edit notifications for certain post, since it would be easy to exploit it and spam ping someone.

    For windows it's Winkey+Shift+S to capture a screenshot of a region and then save it to clipboard. Writing it here for any windows users that pass by, it really is a handy tool.

    In three months I will probably start studying law. It's the second time starting university for me, since I left the university where I studied IT about 5 months ago because of depression and I guess I didn't really like programming that much.

    My question is: Say I finished the uni and got a law degree. What are the jobs I could do and what do I really have to do there? I have a slight idea from the movies, but I don't really know any people in person to ask this from.

    The Wolf of Wall Street. It has my favourite actor, Leonardo DiCaprio and also many, many other super good actors/actresses. I don't really know why it's so good, but it's one of the few, if not the only movie I want to watch the sixth time. The length lets me just immerse in that rich man's crazy life as well.

    I saw that Estonia isn't marked yet, so I'm from Estonia, a small country south of Finland.
