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.

I was born in Southern Arkansas and have lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma for 40 years. I consider myself a Southerner, not a Midwesterner. But that's self-reported.

The joke here goes "You know why Texas doesn't slide off into the Gulf of Mexico? Because Oklahoma sucks so hard."

But truth be told, Tulsa is a pretty nice place to live. About half a million people and fairly progressive for a "Southern" state. And while many of the the hardcore conservatives moved to Texas, you still see a lot of Trump flags here.

I went to Tulsa once ten years ago and was very pleasantly surprised by it. Really a nice little city.
