Casual Conversation
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.

Drink no caffeine for a week, and tell us how you feel.
I mean i got no buzz from coffee, so I kept drinking it for a year. And when I tried to quit it was like a month of hell.
I am the complete opposite - caffeine has an intense and horrible effect on me. Even the tiniest bit, like a sip of coffee or a small cup of green tea, makes my heart feel like it will burst from my chest and my thoughts begin to swirl.
If we combine our powers we can make a normal guy.
One time I poisoned a love-interest when I made her lasagna from scratch to impress her... I put a small amount of espresso in the red sauce for earthiness like I always do, and that's when I found out she has a severe sensitivity to coffee!! Ooops. We're not together lol

For me is a combo, caffeine, even from a cup or green tea, makes me have sleep issues, but the anesthesics at the dentist or in surgeries take more time than usual to take effect. They did give me once, before a hand surgery, a intravenous shot of something and I was instant drunk and started laughing. It was so very odd!
I find your comment very interesting! Because I've always had issues with freezing at the dentist. All my life, dentists have been shocked when I tell them the freezing isn't working. They bonk a nerve just to prove I'm lying... then when I squeal they believe me. I've finally reached the "I'm not playing" phase of my life and I just flat out tell them "you're going to need 3x the regular freezing, this is my life" and that seems to have ended the constant battle of disbelief. Also even when they end up going ham with the needle and half my face feels paralyzed, it's all fine like 30 minutes after getting out of the chair. The entire freeze effect dissipates so quickly for me. I've had to be re-frozen many times mid-filling!
My doctors were never shocked, I suppose they‘ve seen many different situations. I did learn to tell them beforehand that these things happen to me, so they might take it in consideration. Bodies are so different, it is normal to react different to substances and foods. But with age we hopefully are more in tune with our bodies and start to learn how it works.
It's normal to get sleepy right after drinking coffee. The caffeine doesn't work right away.
Same for me and I rarely drink coffee. It's weird though, sometimes I really feel a single cup of coffee and sometimes I can drink multiple double espressos and feel nothing. I have been diagnosed with ADHD since age 6 though, so that might be why.
