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.

When i was younger i thought they were a public institution. Then i learned they are a private corporation beholden only to themselves. Companies basically pay for good ratings.

That may be true to a large extent, but in my case, they paid me (justifiable so) to reverse a bad rating.
