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.

Not much at all
Money doesn't matter to us
We went back and forth with ideas about rings, but we kept coming back to this one
I bought this box separately, so that we can keep the wedding band nicely for the when we tie the knot
I've had the rings for a while now, and she doesn't know! I know she'll love it, it's the ring she liked the most out of all the ones we looked at
In a few weeks I'm going to give it to her
We got engaged months and months ago, but we're stuck doing the long-distance thing and our time together is precious
She's is going to lose her mind, and I can't wait!
Aaaaaaaahhhhh amazing!
I'm a lucky bastard!
She seems like a great lady
She's the best
How long have you been with her?
A little bit over a year
We're both older, we've both been married and all that shit, and we know what we want in life
We were both surprised at how our friendship blossomed into love, we didn't really think that it was feasible for us to have a "real" relationship given the challenges of our circumstances, but with love and work, we've made amazing things happen
