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.

Man, so I always worried about my parents when I was a kid because they only ever had a couple friends they talked to occasionally, but damn I can see why now! Nobody around here has time to find friends when all we do is work constantly! People just do their thing and go home.
Most of the good friends I had growing up have moved away or just disappeared. If weren't for the internet and traveling abroad, I'd have no friends at all. Heck, the best man at my wedding was my very first follower when I started streaming pre-twitch!
Way easier...
Hobby groups are a good way to go if you've got the time. Least then you've got people who are into the same thing!
I met a lot of good people over the years doing charity work too. Some of them have stayed in touch, one I talk to just about every day!
