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.

So what was the point of your intial comment?

That if you normally go out single, avoiding a bar because it bans singles is just really not going to impact them. It's better to complain than threaten them with a good time.

You wanna spend your free time getting into arguments with bar staff about being let into a pub on your own?

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No. Not that that's much worse than this online argument.
