Good day, and welcome to Bus Stop - a small talk message board. Registration is not required and each post remains on the site for only a day, after which, it disappears.

If you find this place empty, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's completely abandoned. Feel free to make a post to start a discussion, perhaps someone will see it and reply!

Bus Stop is intended to be a stress free environment for talking with strangers. Try to keep a relaxed demeanor when posting, please don't say anything that might ruin the other person's day.
I hope we meet again.

Bus Stop uses an extended version of WakabaMark markup code for post formatting.
The basic features are as follows:
  • Surround text with * or _ to make it italic. _Like this_ or *like this*.
  • Surround text with ** or __ to make it bold.
  • Surround text with %% to make a spoiler
  • Make an unordered HTML list by beginning each line with *, or -. You can add line breaks in list entries by breaking the line and indenting the next line with one or more spaces.
  • Make ordered HTML lists by beginning the first line with "1."
  • Make quote sections by beginning each line with ">". Highlighting text and then clicking the post number will quote the selected text.
  • Make code sections by indenting each line by four spaces or one tab. Code sections get shown in a monospaced font, and are not otherwise formatted.
  • Make external links by just typing the URL you want to link to. Post references like >>0 can be created by clicking the post's number and are automatically turned into links. You can link posts from other boards like this >>>/test/#0. The first youtube link in the post gets embedded, unless the post has a file attachment.
If you want to make a large post with complex formatting you can test if everything looks right here.

Please fill in the subject field with a clearly defined topic when appropriate. This not only enables browsing the site like a regular message board by filtering posts with the same subject but also serves another purpose. Subjects have a longer lifespan than posts; this means that even when a subject's thread is empty, it remains in the list for several days since the last post. In the event that this board is empty, it should help a new user or someone who hasn't visited the site for a long time understand what kind of things were being discussed recently.
The board's look can be customized from the options menu, which is accessible by clicking [+] in the bottom right corner of the sidebar. Available options are as follows:
  • [theme]: switches the visual style of the site.
  • [Mona]: enables the Mona font. If your browser has problems with rendering it, turn it off to use a system font.
  • [⟳]: enables auto reloading of the page each 90 seconds.
  • [?]: controls visibility of the info post.
Options are stored in your browser's cookies, be sure to enable them, if you want to save your settings.

Bus Stop is also available through this URL vip.bus-stop.net
This is the JavaScript-free mirror of the site, so if you like, you can use it to browse the scriptless version of Bus Stop without disabling JavaScript in your browser.
Please note, that you need to solve a captcha to make posts with disabled JavaScript.

I'm a bit jealous of the big Halloween party, it was a few years since we had one now and that circle of people kind of split since then so it's never happening again in that constellation. Good memories...

If someone asks why you did not dress up, what if you convince them that you are a doppelganger that shapeshifts into the people they just consumed, confess vague hints of your dark nature and you will fit in with the crowd... And make a weird move that takes you out of normal character, a little glitch of the facade. How about that haha?
I know it's unsolicited advice, I just felt a bit of nervousness going without dress code confidence and played with it..
I hope you will have a good evening and please savour it along with the cute food and discount candy! ;)

I'm going to have an art exhibition in the gallery and after that a movie night with friends.
We are going to watch some old horrors: Grave encounters 1 and 2 this time.

They are pretty good and less known movies, Everyone I know that have seen them likes them.
They are probably available out there on the torrent sites or even streamable.

I'm sorry it's a hard time.
That was an abrupt ending, just after her birthday. What ended it like that?
What you felt with her sounds beautiful and real, meaningful. Remember that is still you, it does not leave you.
Take care anon!

Nothing yet. My friends are all over the place these days and it might be hard to get us all together for the weekend. We'll probably just end up playing games and watching something.

We met at uni, did the same course, and lived together for the whole 3 years. We were very close and when we started dating it was good but we ended up spending far too much time together which kinda left us with nothing outside of the relationship. We actually broke up once before but couldn't stay apart and got back together.

After uni ended we had to go long distance and she got a job. Due to some issues with family I'm living with a relative and am struggling to find a job (or do anything tbh) here. We both enjoyed seeing each other every week or other week, but in between she felt unhappy and found it draining that I had not much going on.

We were planning on moving in together in a year's time to do a master's, but she didn't want to be unhappy most of the time for a year and have the same issues living together. We just had issues living together and living apart, which there is not much either of us can do about.

We were compatible in so many ways that meant we couldn't be friends without dating, and incompatible in ways that meant it couldn't last.

Thanks anon, I appreciate talking to you about this! I hope all goes well with the art exhibition!

i don't quite understand the point of discord nitro. i've never seen a discord nitro thing that was compelling. all i'm thinking is "huh, so this person is someone who would pay money for their discord profile to have flashing animations on it. noted." like that's not a dig at the person in question, its just a choice i don't understand.

on second thought maybe i just don't understand discord. i am (in a way unrelated to my actual age) Too Old For This. i want to send someone a hand written letter like God intended is that so much to ask.
