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.

I'm planning a lot of stuff actually.
By far the most important is to build some small decorative stone walls in my cactus garden. The garden is in a slope so I had to make it in three levels, with a plastic separator holding the substrate of the higher two; it works like a charm but it's ugly, so I'm going to hide the separator with stones and some cement.
I wish that I could graft my pepper plants, but most of them have green fruits so I'd rather not. Harvest has been really nice though, enough for some homemade hot paprika, I'll probably dry and grind it this Saturday.
Then there's some bash script that I use to cheat on a silly clicking game. I refactored it recently so it doesn't stop working once I change the window decorations, it's working great but I want to automate a few more things. To be frank it's a lame excuse to learn bash, I don't even care about the game.
Then I'll cook a bunch of dishes that my mum is asking me. She had enough of "festivity meals", and wants simpler stuff. Rice with hot dogs, one-meal "put everything here" salad, stuff like this. Plus a focaccia but that's for my own sake, I've been craving some.
