Man I feel personally attacked
the great touring jam bands provided a wonderful environment to meet new people in back in the 90’s. the parking lots of grateful dead and phish concerts were chock full of society’s misfits, many of them well-read and witty (some of them not-so-much). It was not introverted at all - there were so many outgoing, lively, and fun people.
i think many of you are more outgoing than you give yourself credit for. you just live in a world where you don’t want to mingle with the inhabitants, and i think that might even reflect a skewed view of the outside world. i’m pretty far left and i still have fun in bars in little ranch towns in the western states. most of those people are more fun than your average morose, urban-dwelling shoe gazer.
I mean, we are not 100% unfindable, we comment here on Lemmy! Normalize finding love through Lemmy (/jk).
They better fuckin not!
Teleports behind you
Nothing personal, kid
It’s really hard to meet people because all the people I want to know are hiding from humanity.
I don’t want the type of person I’d meet at a bar and there really aren’t many events for things I’m into around me. The people I’d like are more than likely like me, hoping I’d teleport into their living room just the same.
I’m also in a terrible place for my personality. It feels like I’m in materialistic asshat conservative HQ, so there’s that too…
Bentonville,
AKAR?Edit’ wrong state abbreviation. Sorry Alaska! Didn’t mean to offend any of the dozens of you up there.
Long Island actually lol
NY is weird because people have the impression that it’s all blue and chock full of “liberals” but a lot of long island is racist and conservative AF. A lot of “greater NY” is also conservative other than the larger cities. Long Island is also super expensive to live in so you tend to have more wealthy materialistic people here.
Is that in Nigeria? Or more somewhere in Asia?
Arkansas? No. It’s where the Walton’s gentrified the fuck out of what is now basically “their town.”
Sounds like an invasion of my privacy! I could be doing art at that moment, or some kind of lore deep dive. How rude to just teleport in like that!
I noticed you were reading through the Babylon 5/Star Trek crossover fan-wiki and I find that very attractive…
In fucking waiting!!
(Yet still need a notice, written notice days ahead)
teleports behind you Nothing personal, kid… But would you like to be the love of my life?
teleports behind you
gives you the hug you desperately need
(Me trying to catch up all the parallel universes my SO is ahead of me … and barely holding back tears) Special technique: blast of emotional damage miasma that inflicts 1000 years worth of existential dead per second purely by proximity to me!
But I’m glad you have moral standards & appropriately chose an empty place where we can have our duel.
My SO was appointed directly into my room by a mutual friend, so it’s not far fetched.
Wingman of the year!
*woman
But yes, absolutely!
[off topic?]
Wonderfully cheesy 1970s movie “Logan’s Run” had a deal like that. Instead of just swiping on an image, people teleported to your house. If you liked each other you’d step off the platform…
[The movie has a brief appearance by Farrah Fawcett, which gives it high 1970s nostalgia appeal]
You had me Farrah Fawcett, tho the title seems kinda familiar (and the plot seems actually good, well, bad dystopian good).
I’ll watch it later.
Farrah does have that power…
Worked for me! Roommate was throwing a party and my now-wife got dragged along to it by her friend
Same, but it was my cousin doing the dragging.
Same, but it was my cousin… doing the dragging.
Y’all got set up.
LMAO what is this from? It looks hilarious!
It’s from the movie Animal House. :) One of my favorite scenes ever (because who hasn’t been that kid? lol).
I’m still waiting for this to happen…
Make sure your windows are open wide enough to allow a person to jump through.
That post’s gotta chill with the personal attacks, geez.
Quantum physics proves the chance of this happening isn’t 0. Maybe if they wait long enough?
Wait what else am I supposed to do, overcome trauma and go outside (>ᆺ<)
Go create new traumas, those old ones are stale.
Dont worry my traumas get reinforced with new failures all the time
Sounds like you’re living just like the rest of us friend :) Always good remembering that the person who thinks of your awkward moments the most is yourself, and just not dwell on them too long
Have yourself a lovely day!
