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.

Feeling loved and lots of hugs.
My dog back >:(
😔
I mean it's been like 20 years, I'm over it, but kid me is still angsty
Parental love and approval. I've learned to live without it, but there's a hole there certainly.
Less mental illnessess and back problems.
Freedom, my own place, stability.
To be a pretty girl
Growing up now, I've learned I was always a girl. I'm working on the pretty part.
I'm sure you are beautiful.
HeMan castle set.
Being able to exist without making my existence political
I had a couple of idols in my childhood I wanted to meet (technically three, but I kind of accepted the third would be out of the question). I met one, and am proud to say we're great friends who regularly communicate, but the other one remained unmet, and a few years ago, he sadly committed suicide. RIP Jason David Frank.
Wast amounts of money.
More from my college years, but an ex made off with more than half of my video game collection right before scalpers/speculators started driving prices through the roof. Most of my GameBoy games. My favorite GameCube games. All of my Genesis, GameGear, Xbox360, and N64 games plus each of those consoles. Including multiple complete in box games. The argument was that she found and bought some of what she kept, but it was always bought using my fucking money. She didn't have a job past our first year together. Really had me swindled. Don't mingle finances until you're married folks.
From childhood? A whole bunch of LEGO sets that are either out of print now or are still stupid expensive. Hard to justify $50+ on LEGO.
Maturity.
I still want a spaceship capable of FTL travel. And teleporters. And replicators. And a utopian post-scarcity society.
Not sure if you were going for answers more like "ice cream for dinner every night" or "not having glass bones and paper skin, not breaking my legs every morning and not breaking my arms every afternoon".
My frivolous answer is a balcony. My depressing answer is a best friend and/or a sister close to my age who is nice to me. OR for my dad to die. OR to wake up and learn that my life was a dream and I'm someone else.
Idk, I was a depressing kid.
My own robot. But hey, that day may be coming!
An AK-47. The biggest reason that I haven't gotten one is that it''s just not very practical. Parts aren't interchangeable without a lot of hand fitting, ammunition has gotten ridiculously expensive due to sanctions against Russia, range isn't great (those 7.62 bullets are heavy and slow; hitting anything past 200y is a real challenge), etc., etc. They've also gotten fairly expensive, while prices for more modern rifles have dropped sharply.
I might still get one eventually. I'd like to have one, just to shoot for fun, but there are so many other higher priorities.
I've always wanted to visit a factory. I've been in an airbus factory and that was nice, there were Tibetan monks there too. But it wasn't like a factory factory.
