Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Just nightmare fuel. heh. But part of it is that as I get older, I get more and more clastrophobic. My young brain didn't pay attention, but my old brain doesn't like getting into situations where it could be hard to breathe. Like… I'm a chair user, but I transfer and can even put the chair in my trunk and get into the car and drive. But I worry about being in an accident and being unable to get out of the car - not only for things like fire, but if my body were to be bent, I could easily get into a position where it would be difficult to breathe. And that sometimes triggers some mild panic that I have to calm before I can go drive. heh
When you're young, you know you're going to live forever. As I've gotten older, I appreciate how many times I haven't died. :)
