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.

I don't disagree that people being lazy and apathetic is a huge issue... but so is disenfranchisement. Telling people who have less recourse in voting than others to "just suck it up" is about as unhelpful as it gets.
