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.

These two weeks will be long but then you'll be good after and one day hopefully you will even forget the pain.
We all feel stupid going to the doctors. But that's the only way to get help.
Thank you for helping guide me to making it work.
You got this!
Days will feel long but afterwards they'll be better.
Nice wordplay on my username by the way!
Thanks! I will admit I fell asleep shortly after making that comment, then woke up and saw that I had done so. I had no idea why I'd made that comment until I finally re-noticed your username.
A lot of people, including you, have said some very nice things in this thread. Not a person has mocked or criticized me. I appreciate all of you.
Lemmy has such kind people! I'm glad you napped.
No criticism at all. We have all felt stupid in front of a doctor. I felt stupid going to see a physiotherapist but that's what they are there for. Sometimes even need a second opinion.
If you ever want to talk just send a message. Not sure your time zone but 12 days after today!
