No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I used to think people joined religions because deep inside their heart they wanted to be good people.
The truth is they don't care about being good. They just want to be right. Religion is an excellent echo chamber with strong, hearty walls to prevent any kind of reason from interfering.
Almost no one voluntarily joins religions to begin with. They're groomed into them from childhood.
People rarely join religions. They remain in them because they’re afraid.
