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.

Today, the Mexican Government introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. Made of 50% cocoa, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings. (files.catbox.moe)

I am happy that you can see my words true. I do not disagree with you, inherently I believe in you. However I believe each phase and part must be scrutinized.

The end of your statement was my goal exactly. The people are the worth, the matter, and the potential. I wish just to see my fellow laborers compensated properly. I do not see this inherent fear everywhere, but I do see it where I reside.

Each link in a chain must be considered and I wish all to heed caution, not fear. Understand the dangers and go forth among the fire knowing it will not harm. This is my hope, give warning but not fear.

Fear causes distrust, knowledge creates precaution. One does not imply the other. Distrust is volatile and malleable. Precaution is annoying but worthwhile, time and time again. The people have a duty to govern their government, we have seen a great lapse and cracks spreading forth in most nations. Empathy, love, and kindness must win above all. For if not, beauty will be only external and much will be lost.
