Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
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 is not a search engine
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.

Fuck people who call the cops
I've thought about this problem and don't have a generally applicable answer.
On the one hand, I don't want someone to steal my bike or have their bike stolen.
On the other, the police are the worst and will probably make the situation worse.
So I lean towards "don't call the cops", but it feels like there should be something to do other than taking on the full risk of intervening yourself.
I've literally had my home broken into and stuff stolen from it. It was the one time in my life that I ever called the police. They trampled through my place, made a mess and broke more things, and then decided I was reporting a suspicious amount of electronics and accused me of trying to do some kind of insurance fraud.
Fuck cops.
Fuck generalizations.
