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.

As someone with an even rarer name, I would be so freaked out and probably a little bit unhappy about it if this came up for me.

It's literally the only time I've met someone with my own last name that I wasn't related to. It is the most bizarre coincidence of my life. It was a little too astounding to be unhappy about, but it felt like a glitch in the matrix.

I go through life hoping he never winds up in the news for the wrong reason.
