We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

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.

"Upright and conscious" is my goto response to casual questions. I also preference almost every sentence with some modulation of "Yeah", meaning everything from "Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly" to "Yeah, bro you sure you wanna do this?" to "yeahh so the cops are here and I told you so""

“Alive and vertical” is my variation on that first one there. Sometimes I use “very low baseline” as an afterthought, because some folks seem confused by it.

I also say “I know English wasn’t my first language, but I could have sworn this made sense. Maybe we’re speaking different English.” I speak English just fine, without any trace of accent (beyond Chicago), but that makes people take a step back and pay attention to what I said or wrote.
