Mildly Interesting

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 think the one that stands out as least accurate is the double-disgust being "prejudice." It's not that's it's really wrong it's just that all the other doubled ones are just amplified and I'm not sure that prejudice is really a "disgust but amplified", personally.

I agree! Double disgust seems more like revolted or nauseated. Or maybe aversion?

Revulsion is probably what I'd go with. Change fear and disgust's combination to dread.

I'd also probably change the combination of disgust and sadness from self-loathing to either regret or pity since I don't think all applications of both sadness and disgust would be self-directed.

Same with most of them. I don't think more than 2-3 are labeled correctly.
