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.

I'm bored. That's it. I'm watching the 100 girlfriends anime.

Pretty fucking good, actually. Which alarms me.

You see I've observed that my life seems to get better when the rest of society gets worse, and vice versa. Not because of anything I do, it's just how my luck works. When the economy tanks, I'm financially secure; when the economy is running hot, I'm broke. My wellbeing seems inversely correlated to the wellbeing of society at large.

And I'm doing great. Better than ever, actually. Hence my alarm: according to the inverse wellbeing law, shit's about to get real.
