Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I've been modding a game for a few days and not on here as much. What's your excuse friend?

hi if you're not a bot.

I dunno, my sleep schedule has been screwed up lately, probably about to go to sleep soon.

I hope so anyways.

I found out that it's caffeine. I always thought i just naturally wanted to stay up until 2:30am, and then be okay waking at 6am for work.

Turns out that when I drink even a single cup of coffee, it totally fucks up the thing in my brain that tells me I'm tired.

So I started the lengthy process of cutting out all coffee.....and after a week or so...holy shit...I was EXHAUSTED by 9:30pm. Like, I'd fall asleep in my computer chair at like 10:30. My sleep started to regulate. I felt so much better.

Like, you don't realize how much of your brain is operating in this hazy fog...until you've slept properly for a couple weeks. I could concentrate on things, I wasnt so lazy. I WANTED to do more things.
