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.

It's not only people arguing, assholes who drive dangerously aren't too likely to kill you if you took the train for your commute, but in a car you're always a few deciseconds away from death.
