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. Went to neurology yesterday. Woke up an hour or so later than expected. Took an hour and a half to get there, took another hour and a half to wait in the waiting room, then took another for the actual appointment. Then went to Arby's, then went home, had dinner, and then slept.
The appointment was educational though. Apparently my life situation is more complicatedly unified than I thought.
Do u mind me asking whats the purpose of a neurology? I thought it has something to do with nerves and stuff
Neurology doctors are for anything related to the brain. They're the ones with the big brain scanners you see on TV shows with doctors, made to detect abnormalities people might be facing, such as tumors or schizophrenia.
Ohk, i hope u r fine and doing well
Yeah, it was just a check-up. I do have a medical history, but nothing that's too much as of now. Though I would say our current understanding of my situation surprises me with how it all ties together.
