Still smacking some copper around...
Dang, I forgot to plan anything. Again.
Plan something small! A couple of my goals are to exist in a public space and speak with a stranger.
Could be a coffee shop, bookstore, bike race, who knows!
Goals:
Exist in a public space
Speak to a stranger
See a friend
Do homework
Work on motorcycle
Surgery recovery slowly continues. A lot of time in bed reading and watching televsion. Kinda going out of my mind with boredom.
Exactly same plan. Slowly recovering from surgery. Doomscrolling in bed.
I want to buy new shoes, my old ones literally have holes in them.
I can't recommend my Hoka sneaks highly enough.
I think I should do the same. These hylo sneakers are around 3 years old now and have seen better days
I’m off work for 10 days.
Saturday - Mainly sorting out the garden and sipping bourbon, preferably in the sun.
Sunday - my sister may visit so I will make some nice food.
Evenings I will play through hyper light drifter on steam deck and when it’s dark enough, star gazing. I can see Sirius pretty clearly from my garden and from there I work out which is which.
I was thinking of beating a dead horse again, but damnit, I don't even know where the living horses are anymore.
Sigh, I guess I'll just have to settle on pissing on the nearest Cyberdump...
Magic The Gathering Tarkir Dragonstorm Pre-release on Saturday. I'm excited. I haven't been to one in like 16 years.
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.
