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.

Them's a whole bunch of fancy words for saying "don't generalize."

Generalizing is fine and a useful tool in certain situations. In others, it's not, and can in fact be very harmful. It's also sometimes good to explain why you support one versus the other in a particular scenario. Y'know...because that's how conversations work.
