- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- 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

It never really hit me how bad my memory is until a couple years ago, when I had dinner with my dad and some of his friends. My dad started reminiscing for 20 minutes about a trip we took ~5 years prior. I was in a few pictures from the trip, so I know I was there, but I don't remember it. It was deeply unsettling listening to all of the events that happened with zero memory of them. I have ADHD and anxiety, which my counselor said both contribute to memory loss like that. I've made my peace with it now, so I'm ok. I can rewatch movies and shows fairly often at least. :)
