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 graduated high school, one of the promises I made to myself is that I wouldn't let myself get out of touch with reality. Working at a large university leading teams of undergrads has really helped me to hold on to that goal.
As I mentioned before, you can age without getting old. That, for me, is the goal. I have brothers who are literally millenials (like right on the edge of 1980) and can't stop complaining about millenials and becomes offended if you point out that he is one. This same brother wouldn't watch cartoons as a 10 year old because, according to him, cartoons are for children. He was born old and lacks the ability to see that he's making the same complaints that people made about him.
