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 what’s up with cops doing that? So much for protecting and SERVING the public.

Really more of a privileged little brotherhood than anything. I bet when they look at the general public all they see is them & us.

Oh they absolutely tried to pass it off as that, that was their motto at one point! So that’s definitely the illusion they were trying to give.

Old motto: protect and serve.

New motto: Stfu & obey.
