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.

My best friend (allegedly) that I shifted my entire life to move half way across the country with suddenly decided they didn't want to be friends anymore and peaced out back to whence they came. There are plenty of failures and miscommunications on both sides of the fence, but at the end of day I'm now stuck alone in a new state with no money, no sense of community, a shit job, and nobody to share anything with. I'm confused as hell, tired as shit, and depressed as fuck with no idea what to do, but anyway here is my lame ass attempt to change all that by talking to strangers on the internet the way humans were evolutionarily designed to.


Soo, hello, I guess . . . not really sure what do now.

Ooh, I started watching Orphan Black the other day and I gotta wonder how they found so many actors that look alike, wait no that's an old show.

Uhm, I really like anything related to space, astronomy, sci . . . (shush, people will think you touched the Tylenol)

What about this weather we've been having lately, something about a little ice and human rights? They keep talking about releasing some kind of files, but idk, they seem a little shy about the whole thing. (I know this lies a little out of the jurisdiction of 'casual', I'm just trying to fill the space with empty words at this point so my ghost of an english teacher grandmother doesn't re-traumatize me from the grave like some kind of angry, judgemental harpy, or maybe I'm possibly just avoiding actually submitting the post at this point by typing a really ridiculously long run on sentence like a highschooler discovering chatGPT for the first time that I'm genuinely surprised your still reading with your one and/or two eyeholes, earballs, or fingers, like seriously I'm not saying anything useful or interesting anymore I'm just sitting typing away trying to think of something funny to say like maybe some kind of joke or something but I can't think of any except maybe this one about a couple nuns riding bikes on the road to Rome)

Wait, actual question. I have celiac and cant eat the forbidden bread, any of yall have any good ideas for packable lunches that don't include sandwiches or anything that has extreme refrigeration/ heating requirements? ADHD brain is running out of ideas and I have a sneaking suspicion that tuna packets make me look poor.

wait... I have more than 2 fingers... is that normal?

joking aside, sounds like you're having a time. Don't know what happened with your friend but I'm sorry it ended like that. Hope things turn around for you

Definitely not normal, you might want to get that checked out.

Thank you. Honestly, I dont even really know what happened. I know I wasnt in a great place mentally after the move, but they never even tried to talk before it all went down and now they won't even acknowledge that I exist. I just feel like that John Travolta meme at this point.
