@p @taylan @SilverDeth real solid advice here
@taylan @p @SilverDeth
> I don't agree that "stop antagonizing idiots; don't you want the idiots to become your friends?!" is any kind of good advice.
that's not what p wrote
> being told their door is always open
that's common courtesy when parting on good terms
> and some coworkers trying to keep up private contact with me, but I tend to politely ghost them or turn down invitations to social events.
people being nice rewarded with ghosting👌
> I could easily make friends if I wanted to, but most people bore or frustrate me for a variety of reasons, so I politely turn away from them.
i think you might mistake acquaintances for friends. from what i know you are about to enter an age where having real friends will become increasingly hard.
> Unintelligent people can't seem to tell that this fedi account is 50% a joke and not what I'm like in earnest...
do you yourself know which half is the serious part? you just wrote a hundred words in reply to me agreeing to what p wrote. was that serious, or shitposting?
> And pee seriously seems to have thought that me lamenting about the stupidity of various online spaces was me complaining about "not having friends" because he has no reading comprehension.
i have no idea what post of yours p references, but i'm pretty sure reading comprehension isn't ps issue. declaring people stupid or insane is a very lazy argument imo.
@p @taylan @SilverDeth well, i'm on here as well and not out meeting people :)
i try hard to not do pissing contests. i think in almost half the cases i write a post but delete it. it's just not worth arguing with a certain kind of people and most topics aren't worth it. either someone has the potential to understand freedom as an idea or they don't, and no force in this world can convince them otherwise except they themselves. i took long enough to get it myself, took more than half of my life.
most people just aren't that interesing (to me) but it's on me to change or do something if i want to meet others. can't expect others to do this for me, "be the change you want to see" :)
@bonifartius @p @taylan @SilverDeth Let's just all admit that everyone on the internet is crazy in some way (except me ofc)
> well, i'm on here as well and not out meeting people :)
Sure, but you're not here to antagonize people or push an agenda. I'm here to talk to friends and random people and see the weird shit they're working on and talk about all my weird shit, hear what people think, that sort of thing; I imagine it's the same with most people that aren't here to push an agenda.
> most people just aren't that interesing (to me)
Yeah, understandable; I'm the same way. But there are a lot of interesting people here, so I'm here.
