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 (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I'm thinking I'll make some pancit bihon (Filipino rice noodle dish). Its leftovers are my favorite for breakfast.

I haven't considered pancit for breakfast but I thank you for the idea. That does sound good.

I live in a city with a large Filipino community, and it rocks because nearly every restaurant (doesn't matter it's Italian, Mexican, chicken joint, or sports pub) will have lumpia on the menu. That right there is KittenBiscuit crack.

Lumpia is also great. We've got a little Filipino grocery store around the corner here which I like to grab it from occasionally.

I think pancit is better reheated. Heat it up in a pan with a little bit of peanut oil. I also add a little more soy sauce and garlic than is standard. Mmmmm, going to be so happy tomorrow morning.

Edit: I was indeed very happy this morning.

Oh delicious. I used to work at a big park in western Canada and every Sunday the Filipino community would gather for lunch. Always so friendly they would come find me and invite me in for food. So many good cooks. I learned to make so many delicious things from that wonderful group of people.
