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.

That was actually the last one i was going to ask. I think I now have enough information to make a guess. You're 44 years old
Not really that close. Would you like to keep going or should I confess?
🙆 at this point just tell me
Ok. I'm 58. I think your actually pretty good at this. I think I come across as younger, on paper. Also, thanks for the compliment.
How are you 58? And you still do zoom calls with your high school buddies EVERY MONTH? That's some real dedication there brother. Some of your answers really threw me off here.
Thanks for the compliment, but i don't think I'm really good at this. I've made about six guesses so far, and have only been really close twice
Well I think I would have guessed in my 40's for me as well. Plus hitting it right on the head would be hard. I think you properly guessed I wasn't real young.
It does take some dedication. I really like having friends and I feel sorry for people who have no one to turn to to help them or go to a movie with or play games. I'd like to think I'm young at heart. I don't know if I am, but I would be sad if I didn't have any buddies. Plus my wife and I don't share a lot of the same interests, so I need someone else to fill that spot at times.
Keep practicing.
I think you've inspired me to put a little bit more effort into the friendships i currently have.
Thanks for playing man
