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.

It's not bad, but I've just ran out of cannabis, so I'll see how well it goes later throughout the week. πŸ‘€

I'll be decorating a cake due tomorrow morning, I'm sure it'll turn out fine though 🀟. It'll be similar to this one:

Hopefully your week is going well so far!

Very nice cake, I'm sure yours will look as great!

It is going well, thank you!

It isn't bad, too bad the kitchen was too warm for the buttercream. πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wow, that's cool, you could probably make a post of its own with this!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

You're too kind 🀭

[–] Zerlyna 2 points 4 months ago

That looks awesome!!! Great job. ❀️

How does it usually go when you've run out similarly?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

It usually isn't bad, but I've been putting a lot of hours into my job, so having it to take the edge off when I get home is nice. Also it give me a, "I don't care about being angry" mentality.. which helps me just get certain chores finished.. like cleaning the entire kitchen.

It helps distract myself from the passive-aggressive attitude and "helping" around the house from certain family members.

The last time I've ran out.. the first three weeks are a drag, but it isn't that bad on comparison to other substances.

No work today. Gonna make a cast iron pizza. Then play Satisfactory until I get sleepy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

nothing much tbh, it's just wake up, go to work, come back home and sleep and the cycle repeats. It was the same for the entire week. weekends are different though.

btw I also learned about new language called "Toki Pona" it only has 120 words.

[–] CodexArcanum 2 points 4 months ago

toki! mi kepeken toki pona! wile sona li mute e sona.

[–] Valmond 2 points 4 months ago

And 96 of them are obscene...

[–] berryjam 2 points 4 months ago

Full of feelings. Nowhere to put them. Procrastinating on things I have to do...

At least we're almost at the weekend!

Got custody of my niece last month, just read the entire court document and they worded it wrong so I don’t get the monthly support check. Florida has NEVER gotten it right. 🀬 There is no dentist in two hour radius that takes Medicaid and I’ve been putting off her checkup because it’s $400 locally.

No complaints really, only that I'm supposed to be assigned a thesis supervisor 3 days ago, and as of yet, nothing has happened.
