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.

My sister and me spent a day in São Paulo city, visiting our 80yo aunt. She's in good health, and was extra happy to see us - and with the gift (a crochet purse, made by our mum).
Speaking on my mum, she has been coughing for a week or so, after she got a cold. Her cough is improving but I'm still worried about it, I told her to see a doc but she's damn stubborn.
Kika and Siegfrieda (my cats) are keeping up with their annoying but cute routine, I guess: one has 3AM zoomies, another meows loudly and "shows" us every single problem she has, as if we were able to stop raining or the neighbour's baby from crying.
It's pinhão season! It's pinhão season!
I'm eating my quota of pinhão this winter! I wish I could plant a Paraná pine home, but I don't have enough space for that (those trees get huge). Because of that I'm making do with my future apple bonsai, pepper plants and stuff like this. When I get Rich® I'll make sure to buy a small house with a big garden and plant a bunch of those.
Yesterday I prepared some baked rice with hot dogs, it was glorious. Specially the provolone and Parmesan crust. (I'm calling it baked "rice" but there was almost no rice there, in comparison with the vegs and sausages.)
