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.

Well It's Saturday morning here in Australia. Yesterday I finished work at noon as is normal at this job. Had a Chiro appointment, then got home, had a beer then headed out to my block of land to mark out where I want my shipping containers placed. That's happening in the next few hours.
I then came home, drank a few more beers, watched a spy movie and had a few Jim Beams and Coke. Went to bed early as I get up at 3:40 am for work so I'm rather tired by early evening.
I'm from Stockport originally, I'm assuming that you're in the UK somewhere ? Cheers. Enjoy your weekend.
Cheers, hope you have/are having a good weekend too. I'm intrigued by your shipping containers. Are you getting something delivered, shipping something or doing something interesting with the containers themselves?
Funnily enough I live about a 15 minute drive from Stockport, I'm happy to report we're currently having our one weekend of sun for the year.
Oooh where do you live ? Please do tell. Ok no I'm not going to build a shipping container home. They're going to be temp storage for all my furniture and shit ( lots of shit ) and tools etc.
I got both of them from the same bloke and at a decent price.
So you got the sun already hey ? Bit bloody early. There's still time for snow and or sleet yet though don't forget.
Oh and also, the first container is now in place. Exciting times, and scary. I intend to build my own house over the next few years. Eeeeek.
