What is the Watercooler?
It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.
All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.

...I hate you all
This week is national Banned Books Week, an awareness campaign promoting the need for free speech by highlighting banned or challenged books, and sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA), as well as other organizations.
Every year, hundreds of books are challenged, from newer publications to literary classics such as Catcher in the Rye, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Of Mice and Men.
Even when books aren't actually banned, a challenge alone can be damaging; it can lead publishers to shy away from publishing material deemed controversial, or lead libraries and bookstores to avoid stocking them.
We deserve to live in a society that fosters openness, and the freedom to express and discuss multiple viewpoints. If you believe in these principles, and if you hear about a book challenged in your local area, you can report it to the ALA website at www.ala.org.
Show you care by reading a banned book.
The man should not have challenged me. Like, EVER.
...and kinda blame Ace-kun as well. ^_^v
It's that time again. Time for a NEW PODCAST, so go listen and then return here if you have something crazy/spammy to say.
