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.

It seems like the sizes have stuck with a normal BMI assumption where that's not the case anymore and most people are overweight so can't find clothes that fit them well without going into plus-sized clothing (which is less fashionable of course).
