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.

I hope you can overcome your past. But if not, there are options. I lived in car-centric LA on the bus/train. It can be done. Get the right place, with groceries/laundry nearby and that has a frequent train/bus line that takes you to work, and it's not bad. Certain placed have protected bike lanes that can be fun. Youll save money, compared to car payment, gas, insurance. And youll be healthier from walking more. It's not a bad life.
I have been using public transport and walking all this time with 0 issues. However, due to my career change, there's a big chance I'll be sent to work in remote towns. By car it would take me 45 minutes each way, but by bus it would be around 2h30 each way. Such a long commute would destroy me.
Those work places are government enforced, so I can't refuse to attend (stupid system).
One thing I did: get directions on Google maps. On each step, look at street view. What lane goes where. Which business is right before the turn. Etc. You can visualize the whole drug e so there are no surprises when going somewhere new.
Great idea, thanks!
