Nope nothing exciting either, never have any plans

Yeah I knew it would make me drowsy and I only take it when I really need it

I read every day, currently working my way through IT.

Looks good too! Thanks for sharing

Yeah I been tired a lot lately and today I took an allergy med today and while generally helpful do make me a bit drowsy

I’ve never heard of banana crumb cake but it sounds good.

A board game club does sound cool, I’m not a huge fan but I do enjoy them.

And yeah I try not to be too hard on myself and treat myself to something from time to time even if I don’t necessarily feel like I deserve it. I do have some beer in the fridge, I don’t generally drink a lot, I never partied in high school or college but I do like having a couple drinks once awhile just to relax a little. Still that doesn’t exactly get me out of the house haha. Was gonna try to go on a run though, been a few weeks since I’ve done because I was given my body some much needed rest but feel like it might be time to get back into it

Ha nice. I just dog sat for brother and his girlfriend. Also very sweet dog, likes to cuddle on the couch, and lets you know when she wants to play, we had a good time hanging out

Didn’t think to do this, thanks for the advice

Ha! You’re welcome. I’m not one for celebrity worship but I miss him. Feels like not a day goes by that I don’t think of one of his jokes and cheers me up a little

This sounds like a Norm Macdonald joke with the set up being the same as the punchline

Uno reverse card

It’s an awesome film. I watched it a few years ago but need to revisit it.

Thanks for the advice SharkFucker420. And yeah I’m using this as a sort of filter, I just want things to be simple I guess, don’t want to deal with bullshit so won’t be afraid to block users or communities.

That is nice. The other thing is, it’d be to cool this place grow a little but at the same time I like that there’s way less people on here. I was active on some movie subs and I can’t tell you how many of the same posts and same discussions I saw, nobody had anything new to say about anything. Echo chamber and all that.

I don’t know it’s hard to describe, this place just seems a little more laidback and slow paced but that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I’m off all other social media now except for this. And I don’t know how long I’ll last here but while I’m a little let to the party I’m giving it a try.

Ok thanks for the advice because I have come across some places like that where I’m like oh the last post like a month or two ago? I mean that’s really that long ago but eh..is it worth it?

But I’ll try me best to keep things going if I feel strongly enough about a community

This is a good idea. I’m probably gonna start with more news/politically related communities. I’m so glad this place doesn’t have a news page like Reddit. I would find myself endlessly scrolling and viewing dumb posts with headlines like “this celebrity thinks that blah blah…” and then going to see what people are saying, and be like oh somehow has a ton of downvotes what did they say, and I’d be invested in an argument and then I’d catch myself and be like wait…I don’t give shit about this why I’m engaging with, let alone reading, the comments. Obviously important to stay informed but I wasted so much time scrolling through pointless “news” posts. I’m trying to avoid toxicity and engaging in stuff I don’t even care about only to get caught up in some dumb argument with an asshole

Yeah I’m starting to notice that. But I’m gonna keep exploring to get a feel for what I like and see what’s active and I’ll be sure to post and participate.

Awesome, this looks helpful. Literally just joined last night so I’m still getting the hang of navigating and finding things. Thanks
