I was supposed to be re-siting A-Levels. My A-Levels have been cancelled because I am in the UAE. I am not enrolled in a school so cannot get portofolio grades.
So I am stuck with my previous A-Level grades. This does not matter for Charles because I am already admitted, but it does matter for UNIC. I am not sure about what to do now.
I am worried about all the negative things I have heard about Charles on this subreddit but it's looking like my only option.
goes without saying, all headlines are bad. all of them. doesn't matter if its an outlet you agree with or disagree with. because if you take a second to look at the incentive structure, a headline that is engineered to create outrage will get more clicks and discussions.
If you were here a year or so ago, most of the posts were text posts and not links. links drive outrage. they just kill discussion because the top comment will be someone who did not read the article and is taking the headline at face value.
i feel like we gotta limit link posts here. i miss the discussions. sometimes some people did cause me outrage but at least those were real people having discussions, not a hivemind comments section.
i also feel like mods should put a rule like the unpopularopinion or the10thdentist subreddits, where you upvote posts you disagree with. hard to enforce but at least if you put it in the pinned comment on every post it will eventually have an impact.
i feel like this sub has become a news aggregator more than a place for discussion. what do you all think?
