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.

Maybe they can go to the malt shop later? And then the sock hop?

They don't really exist anymore. 3rd places have more or less been killed off.

You must now own a car and pay money to exist somewhere, at all times.

And very soon it will be a felony to be homeless!

We have 8 animals and alcoholic relative living with us.

We went to the local library, I had ear buds and my laptop as was content to do my thing (cyber security stuff, all legal) and my wife was busy talking to the person running the 3D printer because she can't seem to dial hers in settings wise.

The quiet, the lack of stress, the ability to just focus on something without dealing with an issue for a while....

It was fine until the relative... well, thats another story. They all end like that lately.

Teen centers are in suburbs, for that exact reason. I think everyone saying "teen centers don't exist" just don't live in suburbs, nor have teenagers lol
