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.

America: You can't have free health because that's socialism but you can replenish your Glock 9 stock because FURDUM!!!!

Well, an ability to buy stuff for a gun does not exclude the possibility to have an affordable healthcare. US does not have affordable one, but I live in a country with "free" healthcare and it is so shitty that I and my family need to go to private doctors anyway 90% of cases. We need to pay twice: one for the "free" healthcare in taxes and the second time at the private doctor. Admitedly, less fucked up than in US, but this still fucking sucks.

THIS. Sometimes, a silly vending machine in Alabama is just a vending machine in Alabama, not the summation of what you think is wrong with other peoples' politics.
