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.

Who is actually surprised by this? I would be more surprised if young Americans felt it was a great place to live.

I’ve been learning to employ self-compassion for these scenarios. Just pretend my life belongs to a friend who’s sharing it with me. How would I respond?

I’m so much more generous and compassionate to others, so learning to give that same compassion and dignity to myself has been healing.
