Hello, everyone!
I recently realized I was very much sick and tired of Reddit. It has simply become incredibly unfun to me, and as such I have elected to seek out a suitable alternative, and this one seems quite sufficient. I look forward to getting to know you all.
Indiana Jones has been rocking the same attire for 30+ years. Do you know anyone similar in real life?
It's actually 57 years if you start the counting from when he got the hat in The Last Crusade's prologue in 1912 to the newest one that takes place in 1969, and 34 years if you start counting from the first chronological movie, The Temple of Doom that took place in 1935....
If you were given a choice between a fancy boat or a fancy car, which would you pick? You can't sell either.
I'm not sure yet about my answer
Regret
I'd been raised to avoid things that weren't fine with my parents, but lately, I'd been trying to see the other sides through their writing (blog, novel, review, discussion, etc) and I regretted not doing it sooner. A lot of the things there would've helped me to become what I want to be.
Chat...what watch are you wearing?
Okay so I like watches, but also I'm poor so I have to be pretty sparing with what I buy....
What would be your last meal on death row?
Mine would probably be - A smorgasbord of a Cacio e Pepe, Greek marinated octopus, various temaki, cold smoked salmon with poached eggs on top of a perfect baguette, vegetable tempura, chocolate lava cake, and crème brulee.
I bought a scale three months ago and I lost 40lbs since then.
At 32 I'm fitter than I've ever been before.

Curious, if you were/are a Reddit user, will you be leaving the platform for good or have you already? CEO has called unpaid moderators' concerns "noise", that will be "passing soon."
There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would....
Has anyone else been losing track of time in the Fediverse?
I've heard other people talk about falling down Reddit holes over the years, but I was never this engaged on Reddit. I posted maybe a handful of times. I'd usually browse r/popular/top set to desktop version in Firefox on mobile without logging in. Here, though, I'm literally losing sleep and hours pass because the energy, the...
Super excited about our community (m/chat) reaching 500 subs/700 comments in just over 3 days.
Hey all, we just ticked over the 500 sub mark. It's been very encouraging reading your stories of how you've found this community, the wider fediverse and reading what you have to say! I am confident we can continue to grow and keep the same friendly vibe going forward....
What's the furthest you've been from your home? What was the experience like?
I once took a trip to eastern Europe (multiple locations) which took me about half way across the world from where I'm at. I think I'd have been closer to home if I went any further east or west at that point.

Do you have any planned vacations? Where to? Do you have a favorite destination?
I currently don't have any planned that I'm looking forward to, but someone I know is currently in Costa Rica for a trip and is having a blast from what I hear. I'm thinking of planning something! I do have availability to do one soon, just not sure where I'd go yet.
I just got done exercising by choice for the first time since 2016.
I'm entering my late 30s, and my body isn't taking care of me because I have not taken care of it for most of its adult life....
I became a dad two weeks ago!
Any advice and/or stories from early parenthood anyone wants to share would be appreciated!...
I PASSED MY COURSE! Time to graduate!
I was sooo worried I wasn't going to make it with my rushed final essay but I did it with a 75% mark! Maybe my course staff are just forgiving? I read the feedback and there were a lot of good points where I could have changed or expanded upon things...It doesn't matter now because I'm graduating in a month. IT'S HAPPENING! I...
OC As a kid, i never understood how my mom could chow down on celery all day.
Now I'm here, doing the same thing! What foods did y'all grow to love over time?
What's something good that happened to you today?
The world can be a pretty strange place, but it's good to look back and find at least one thing that was good to you today. Be that a nice conversation, a cool picture you saw, a song you heard... whatever! But if you didn't find anything good today, here's your sign: go do one thing for you, right now. Even if its just a moment...

OC What are some hobbies you have that carry you through the day/week? Feel free to share them here!
I absolutely 100% look forward to my hobbies every day of the week. I picked up some new ones over the past two years and they have been an immeasurable asset to my sanity and happiness over the past two years. The first being that I'm picking up, and practicing guitar again. I have a starter setup still and that is ample for my...
