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.

A tiny woman who often asks if the black belts are letting her throw them (yes, we're being useful for learning) had just enough of the basics to start giving her more complicated details that make a big difference. It was really enjoyable seeing how much fun she was having when she felt effective.

I've also been sleeping so much better the past few nights. I got some bone conduction headphones so I can listen to something while sleeping without disturbing my partner or my ears getting funky from being closed off. It helps with masking her snoring and keeps my brain from being bored and seeking stimulation if I wake up in the night. They're slightly uncomfortable and the volume doesn't go as quiet as I'd like, but I'll deal with that for the upsides.
