The submit a text post and submit a link forms now work with the bonus points

Bonus points are basically where we give posts a little edge for various things.

If the poster is a frequent commenter (member of the community and not just a link dumper)
If the post is a text post (more likely to start a conversation and help build community)
The post comes with a starter comment beyond just a link

It's a subtle way to reward people who contribute to community, and make sure core folks are guaranteed to have their post seen and get an absolute certainty of getting out of /new if it's a solid post.

We want to build a community and not just a link dump. Links are good of course. But community is better. And we're not afraid to tip the scales to even further support community.

Have you ever felt social cringe so bad that you kind of want to die? Why is that?

Like what biological function thinks it's helpful to want to die? It's a visceral reaction so it has to be a kind of biological intuition.

I've got it so bad off of something that is seemingly not worth this reaction. But I can't shake it anyway. But if this sense is biological, then it can cascade beyond reason like an allergic reaction.

I went to a board game night with some folks who are mostly acquaintances. I show up and a group is already starting to figure out a game and it looked like the easiest group to join. This game is bad. I was chill. My teammate was chill. The people we were playing with were chill. But this game was so bad I can't shake the fact that despite everyone having made the best of it, this was not a good social interaction. And I just feel bad. More bad than I should feel. It's just painful.

The game was Jurassic Park Danger! And maybe I just need to tell someone. I'm not going to do anything. I don't need a wellness check. But I can't shake this feeling like death would be ok and maybe for the best.

What is it about bad social interactions that make us feel like death is preferable?
