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.

Alright too, thanks!
Works been going great. I work as a welder and it's a bit slow right now. Several of the ships in port are getting ready to head out and don't need any more weld repairs. There's a few ships waiting to come in, and when they do work will pick up.
In the meantime, I'm spending this paid downtime to work on my D&D campaign. Our first game is this upcoming weekend and I'm stressing over the little things I might have missed. Over'preparation and all.
ChatGPT has been a life saver. It's not writing the campaign, but it is filling in the small details that would take weeks or months to write. Plus I can edit whatever ChatGPT spits out if it's not quite right.
It’s 4AM and I’ve been awake since 2. 🤬. So glad it’s Thursday. Overall the week has been uneventful. My best friend whom I met 30 years ago in college and I are meeting up for lunch Saturday. I haven’t seen her in about three years (5 hours apart) and shes going to meet my pre-teen niece who has been living with me the past two years. Super excited!!
Extremely tiredly. Also no more physical therapy, have to go to my primary and get a new scrip. Which is time consuming. Husband's hypochondria caught up him and forced me awake in the middle of deep sleep to deal with so I'm snappy which is bad of me. I decided to make chili for breakfast and I'm just waiting for the rice to finish cooking. Mother's cat is still here, and she is being rude to my cat, but loving to me so I keep trying to tell her to stop being a whappy cat bastard. Enjoying the Maji Market in Palia but it really needs to have more games per hour. Only 2 is...stupid.
Tell us more about breakfast chili.
It is very bad chili. Jar of sauce, two things of canned beans, can of dice tomatoes with jalapeños, some browned ground beef. Seasonings on it of "what I remembered because very tired" and then I make rice and put my portion over rice. Husband doesn't like it over rice, so no rice for him. Sometimes if I'm not tired, diced onions, diced garlic. I need more onions though.
Doesn't sound very bad. Sounds like a good, easy comfort food, especially if it's chilly.
It is very much comfort food. Hence why I'm on a second bowl! Then maybe I'll try and get more sleep. I do not think the cats will allow this.
Small angry rant time, because I am furious.
Just had to submit proof of ID for a job application using the front camera of my tablet. How the FUCK am I supposed to get a clear image of my ID in some shitty small window on a Web browser where I have no control over camera focus, and have a shitty tablet camera anyway?
I can't use my phone camera, I can't email an image of my ID, I can't upload a pre-taken image, and there is no alternative given. I literally cannot get a non-blurry image of my ID. It's a complete fucking joke. I submitted it anyway and it will be rejected because it's a blurry mess.
I won't be able to move forward with this application because of this stupid bullshit. Backwards way of ID verification, this isn't 2005 anymore.
Seems crazy indeed
it's stressful. I'm preparing to move but need to travel the days before. i also don't know where I can park my car at the new place because there's a queue to parking spots. every day at work is a potential "international incident" waiting to happen but we're still just doing business as usual. I can't get myself to exercise even though i already paid for the membership. I spend all my free time doing nothing and then feeling bad about it.
Sounds stressful, when is the move planned?
