For the first time in two decades of my tumultuous relationship with the coldhearted mistress that is Microsoft Windows, I am glad that it turned itself on. It didn't update itself. It didn't even bluescreen for no reason and update itself in its confusion.

The torrent finished downloading about an hour before I got home, and by the time I noticed it finished, the elusive seeder was long gone. I feel oddly at ease. I feel oddly... responsible. For propagating knowledge to future seekers.

Is this dull enough for here?

Have this terrible photoshop bodge job as an offering of my goodwill.

It is your burden and duty to seed

It is your burden and duty to seed

Sometimes context really matters... 😜

The context is here. Please be more dull

Funnily enough, I have a high ratio for that torrent. I've shared that first 80 odd percent dozens of times. I'll keep it in my daily driver list of permaseeds for sure.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn't an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
