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
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- 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]
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Ugh, I'm sorry. It feels like the whole world is coming apart at the seams. My country did some terrible things recently, but I hope we will all trend in a better direction soon.
There really are very few governments today that inspire hope for the future. Everywhere politicians all seem to be focused on short-term personal enrichment and staying in power by appealing to their people's lowest urges. If we get through this period, it will be in spite of our leaders not because of them.
