You are not alone. Isn't it strange how systematized interactions have counterintuitive effects on the outcomes of those interactions?

Be that as it may, I've long been skeptical of claims that gamified soc-nets allow important information to rise to the top. From what I can observe these systems seem to split singular loosely-aligned large groups into many cultural silos of mutual reinforcement.

I haven't yet found any reason to hate systemd. If I ever do I'll be happy to have options.
