Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I just want to enjoy what time I have left on this planet. Help others where I can, but not be beholden to anyone. Credit where credit is due - capitalism has solved scarcity. There are more than enough resources to make sure every human being is fed and housed. Countless millions suffered in the process of getting there while a select few sociopaths (and their offspring) reaped the vast majority of the spoils. The only thing preventing all of humanity from sharing in those rewards are the mentally ill hoarders who feel nothing as people starve while they count their unspendable amounts of wealth.

I'm not particularly for or against any specific school of economic thought. Seems like no matter what, it's the selfish fucks that get the rewards. So capitalism, in some form, may be our best bet. If the vaunted Invisible Hand wants to step in and do a little of that fabled self-correction, I'm here for it. But it seems more interested in giving itself a reach around while the inbred dragons play games with our lives.
