This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yeah, and my taxes shouldn't have to go toward paying for schools because I don't have kids right now, right? And what about libraries? I haven't been to one in decades, why should I pay for them? And roads... I don't currently have a car, so I should not have to contribute to maintaining roads and bridges.

Are we really going to have to go back to middle school and explain the social contract?

So let the people who have extra to spare pay for the shit they're not using.
