I'm building a house by myself, so hopefully installing 800 sq feet of wood flooring so I can stop paying rent.
Casual Conversation
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)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Sitting around and being a vegetable. The next 7 to 8 weeks will be full of gatherings, parties, travelling and such. These might be the last days I have for myself up until mid January. Gotta enjoy the silence for a bit.
I feel that
A decent night’s sleep.
Hoping to get over my cold so the wife and I can go to our local sex club.
Meeting new people
A. Factorio, the game that has been consuming far too much of my sleep schedule
B. Finally starting the dc20 campaign that I've been trying to organize for months
You and I both. I’ve been playing Factorio instead of finishing a campaign for a homemade RPG…
The factory must grow!
Nothing and hoping Hyperacusis tones down a bit. Was stupid to listen to a bit louder music while knowing it would worsen my tinnitus and hyperacusis.
Going to wear earplugs all day and be bored probably.
Being ill. We where invited for a dinner for the first time at my best friends mom tonight, but only my wife can go. It sucks.
I got some bad stomach inflammation that hurts like a mf. Also I have new medication for my asthma that has side effects, so great combination.
Continuing to plot out the book I hope I'm writing. And hang out with the family. And clean. And get rid of more crap. Ooh, and a friend's birthday dinner tomorrow ❤️
Hopefully my ratio of writing to the other stuff is decent.
Survive it
Sunday: when we've got a party planned for my 4 year old's birthday with his nursery friends.
Saturday: my father heard this is happening, thought he could invite some people to our party; and now we have extended family coming from out of town who say they will come on Saturday and stay overnight.
🙂🔫
Oof, I hope it’s still a fun weekend and your Sunday night is restful.
Continue to feel slightly sick and sleep. Maybe feel better and make chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies.
Stimulating the economy
Game day - this is the 6th session for my homebrewed game called Scroll of Hengdian set in ancient China and steeped in Chinese mythology. My players are investigating and are about to find clues that will cause them to go on the run and head to a new city. They will also level up and get new Qigong skills so most people are hyped for tonight.
