Mildly Interesting

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.

"OK, have fun. Enjoy your right to free speech. The armed forces welcomes your dissent."

Screen grab of the "Free Speech Zone" from Arrested Development season 1, episode 20: "Whistler's Mother". It is a fenced in cage in the middle of nowhere where protests are allowed to occur. A protester inside holds a placard: "LARGER FREE SPEECH ZONE".

*Downvoter. You have exactly one downvote like half of all lemmy comments ever and felt the need to edit your comment just to talk down to an imaginary strawman over a meme. Ill never understand you or anyone like you who does this. Here, enjoy your second downvote so your semantic mistake can be retroactively fixed atleast.

Lol

I'll never understand people like you that barge into a comedic thread and make Lemmy super serious while being so drastically wrong.

Please reevaluate your priorities.

I think your comment currently has so many downvotes because people dislike seeing people whine about downvotes. As the commenter above mentioned, at the time of your edit, your comment only had one downvote.

[–] GunValkyrie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But that's not true. When I made my edit I already had several down votes.

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

It was at 2 up and 1 down. This is all public.
