• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

No, no they won't. Murder gotta count more on my list of things I find unforgivable than being bored. Plus, I've had kids. A three hour car journey where every single episode of The Simpsons was recounted to me, in detail, was genuinely one of the most boring experiences of my life. But hey, my kid was actually talking to me! So it's all good.

ever heard of cameron herrin? killed two people, yet a couple million people over on tiktok apparently thought he was "too cute" to go to jail for it.

I totally agree. Boring is not a sin or cruel. It doesn't need forgiveness, just tolerance. Murder is, most often, unforgiveable. Rape is unforgiveable. Child cruelty/domestic abuse is unforgiveable. Heartbreak (though maybe neither a sin nor meant to be cruel) is something many people find hard/impossible to forgive.

Lol, gotta think that Patricia Fripp got the wrong sort of friends.
