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

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Giving any day. I don't get along with anybody nerdy enough to give me cool stuff and I frankly never know what to do with all the cute, self made stuff they've put all their heart and soul into getting or making for me.

Like, yeah, bud, it's a really nice sticker magnet with an unforgettable image of that one time we did something amazing together, but... well, I just don't have that many magentic surfaces in the house and I kinda like the clean aesthetic in the kitchen, you know?

I do have enough friends with kids that I can just make them happy with random crap you can find in a toy store or a videogame, and that's cute.

Yep I'd rather get a lovingly crafted reel with music or something... I can watch it when I want rather than try to find a place it fits.
