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 !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

We do have kids, but they are grown.

My wife has a long term illness and is on disability, so most of the subjects she brings up are pain, dizziness, weakness, doctor appointments, and tests.

I'm still working full time (although ~99% remote now). I will mention things that happened at work (funny things, annoying things, etc).

We talk about TV shows and movies. We talk about next meals. We talk about things we need to fix in the house.

Edit: there's also a lot of pebbling. We find funny things online and share them via text. Often when we're sitting right next to each other.
