Went to a smaller town the other day and got on a bus. Bus had like 5 people maybe. Every time someone went off the bus, the driver shouted to the back "have a nice day". Made me smile.
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.

the driver was an awesome person (◍•ᴗ•◍)♡ ✧*。
nothing much just met an old friend. it was fun hanging out with him after 1 year.
besides that I learned Perl and Bash. today I am starting to learn C# reading the book "C# Programming Yellow Book". It's been fun.
Fine? I'm off work for the next week on a staycation - we're looking at houses again this evening. I'm in my 40s and may finally buy something instead of renting like I have since college.
🤞 sending good house vibes your way
Wife started a new job on Monday, so I have had to adjust my sleep schedule in order to drop her off in the morning and getting used to having the house to myself again during the days.
I was thrust into a new and undesired role at my work a couple months ago, and I'm just now getting to the point where I feel like I have a handle on things. Still not enjoying it and I am looking for other options, but there might be light at the end of the tunnel if I stick it out here...
Finished my exams, most went pretty well. Feels so good to just do what you want without feeling bad because you‘re not spending the time learning.
Well done! What are you studying
Bachelor in computer science :)
Not too bad. Took some time off and my sleep has never been better.
Sitting in jury duty, going for a quite Friday
Like fucking shit
