No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.
-
Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

took my 14 y.o. daughter on an overnight beach trip.
It was one of the best times I've had in quite some time. We went waaaaaay down the beach. I let her drive my truck most of the 40 miles down the beach. We made a fire, and grilled hotdogs and ate corn. The corn was out of season so not the best but still. We laid cots in the bed of the truck and laid awake looking at the stars. I have a star/constellation app on my phone so we looked at constellations, and took crappy photos of the Milky Way galaxy with our phones.
Her life is getting busy, while mine is mostly slammed full of shit all the time anyway so my chances to just bond with my little girl and just be are getting fewer and fewer. I cherish the time I get with my baby and this was a good one.
