This is new /hum/, the humanity board. The intent is that this board will be used to discuss the human condition and personal experiences related to being alive, such as human nature, virtue, suffering, mortality, emotions, and relationships or interactions with other humans. As this is a very general topic, it should be made certain that a thread idea is not more relevant in another board, beforehand.
Discussion of drug addiction belongs in the /drug/ board; discussion related to addictions not concerned with drugs is relevant here. Discussion of artwork probably belongs in the /culture/ overboard. Discussion of consciousness and sleeping belong in the /zzz/ board. Discussions concerning the effects of computing on living and humanity may be considered more appropriate on /sec/ or /tech/; a thread in each or any of these boards for this is reasonable and allowed.
Do not give advice that is misleadingly dangerous or otherwise purposefully misleadingly harmful on this board. Failure to comply will result in a public ban indicating such or deletion. Criticism is fine and welcomed, but elaborate on the reasoning behind the criticism and make suggestions for improvement. The opening post for any thread must always be descriptive without exception; elaborate on intent and the why, rather than simply the what.
If a large topic, such as coping with the death of a pet, already has a thread, try to use that rather than starting a new thread, if reasonable; a very specific topic may warrant its own thread, but good judgment should be used. In particular, it's not reasonable for a particular topic to overwhelm the others across the board.
Any advice given on this board is not official legal, medical, or financial advice. Don't blindly trust everything you read on the Internet. Consult the appropriate practitioner for official advice whether that is a legal, medical, or financial professional.
