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.

For me it's simple... exercise in the morning then nice snuggly blanket, tv and snacks all afternoon.

When Monday is a public holiday.

Big hot cup of coffee. My sketchbook and pencils. A shady spot near the fishing hole. ~~Random men do not interrupt me simply because I'm the only non-man at the fishing hole.~~

In a better universe there's also some fishing but there's a health advisory on our river so I ain't eating that

I like having breakfast and going to gym. Exercise gives endorfins and I like getting a bit stronger each week.

That's a great thing about exercise you can easily track progress, you literally see it.

Yeah I have to admit i like seeing my arms get bigger and body feeling stronger. Not getting tired by carrying bags, and clothes looking nicer. Its a lot of benefits. And the gym is kind of a chill place. People are relaxed and just lift some weights. I think its quite good for mental health also.

Sleep. Then reading in the garden until sunset.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Human being. Just being. Reading is a great way to do that.

Sleepping till I feel like it, no requirements to meet, no where to be to, just doing what I want to, not have to

I win the lottery and buy the country of Pitcairn Island. That would be my perfect Sunday.

My perfect normal Sunday is where, after church, I have the day off, can interact with people as I please, and I don't have artist block.
