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 listen to a lot, but one song that felt unique was "Love in Portofino". It makes me feel nice

Is it sung by Dalida? It's a nice song.

I've been listening to the new Gnome album a lot. Stoner rock with a good sense of humor.

Found recently-ish Feuerschwanz through their "Warriors" album. Had been missing some "cheesier" power metal songs, so it was a pleasant addition for my playlist. =D

I listened to Rebuild the Wall by Luther Wright and the Wrongs today. It's a cover of The Wall by Pink Floyd. In bluegrass style.

That Big dawgs song on repeat for my new workout routine.

Soul asylum to sing along while driving.

Nina Simone for doing the dishes since I hate doing them but love Nina!

R&B youtube radio station for other stuff.

Jamie XX, In Waves - only just started listening, so haven't formed a proper opinion yet. It was playing while I was doing something else, and then it was over before I knew it, which is usually the kind of thing I like (interesting, but not too intrusive).

The album I'm listening to on repeat is Brian Eno, Another Day on Earth. Link to the song 'Just Another Day': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oxNGbP0HFI

I just watched the '80s King Crimson (Belew, Levin) lineup with Steve Vai and Danny Carey live so I'm revisiting the Discipline-era discography.
