i see
i was hanging out with a few of my nin friends and i was talking about the early look of trent reznor. i said he was remiscent of robert smith's faggy late 80s look and got hounded for it by one of the bisexual girls even though i was just quoting something trent said himself.
idk why im bringing this up now but it felt like a decent moment to get your thoughts on sexual terms being used disparagingly
yeah, it's pretty whatever imo i do say "faggot" a lot and i'm trying to stop because it's honestly not a great word to use, but it's such a potent insult that i don't care white people saying nigga will always be turbocringe though and there's no excuse for it

fuck this gay earth tbh
do you ever get hounded for using the word gay in this way
never because i normally know not to use it myself but sometimes it slips out, especially on the interwebs, because i know no one gives a shit anyway it's not a big deal, and the only people who get offended by it are straight people, go fucking figure

I would not feel this from meeting someone from the internet
The only feeling I'd feel is a bit weirded out, likely
From a purely neutral standpoint this is quite the assumption to make. On a base level I believe communication in person is different than through text so to make the decision prior to even considering who it is, is a tad irresponsible.
Set aside all of the weird shit I've already said on it
Meeting someone you've talked to, but never spoken to, is weird to me and it would throw me off a little to say the least
theoretically, you could use something like discord to help ease into it
not that you will or should, just saying, it's possible
taking that a little too literally there
i mean, how else was i meant to take that
maybe you just have a weird definition of weird
I could have said "meet someone you'e known for years for the first time" and it would have been the same thing. It's not weird because it's someone from the internet, it's weird because you both know them but don't. I can't really find the right words to explain it, beyond that it's weird on a more meta level.
i'm normally great with words, but i can't really help you with that since i don't share your perspective that said, i think i still understand what you mean? a little bit? but that requires me to think back to how i thought about this several years ago, and that's not a mentality i really want to have again, because it seems dated if i could just live on the internet and be a virtual being, i would—and who wouldn't fuck this gay earth tbh

despite it maybe being a tad awkward.
At risk of backtracking, this is why I wouldn't do it first and foremost. I don't try to intentionally put myself in awkward situations without a clear benefit, and I don't see any clear benefit from this. It would be a story, and that's about it.
well, it's not like you live a life where you only do things that 100% benefit you...
but w/e, i said i was satisfied lol
Bish I'm 100% about me
I help a friend move because he gives me food afterwards
I talk a friend through a rough patch because I'm gonna need them for emotional support sooner or later
I chose a salad because I celebrate my health
It's all about the ego
gross
also not what i meant; you'll do things that hurt you if it means temporary satisfaction
Sarcasm from her I'd assume?
maybe idk
she's only so-so at that
boo hiss
It's a half-joke; nobody is selfless, everything you do is for some sort of fulfilment, blah blah blah
well, it's one thing to admit that, but another to be proud of it not that you are just saying i'm sure lots of people take that logic and abuse it

t's a pretty fine line to walk explaining to someone that you both never want to meet them in person and also don't mean anything personally for it, and "I have enough friends" sounds like the most lame excuse ever.
It's not even actually that simple (I do have plenty of idiosyncrasies), but if that's the one that works then alright.
Maybe we can talk about those some other time then, but yeah, I just needed something that I could personally relate to. Just one thing, and I got it. I have two close in-person friends—that's it. That's all I need, and all I really want. Now, would meeting Snake in person mean that I have to consider him a close in-person friend? No, not necessarily. But it would be an interesting experience that I wouldn't necessarily fear or regret having, despite it maybe being a tad awkward. It's nothing I haven't endured before, but I can respect that you just don't feel the same way.

I mean, not really If you said that from the beginning, I'd have been 100% satisfied. I can completely understand why you wouldn't want to have more in-person friends than you have—but from the responses you've given up until just now, I had no idea that was the case. It just seemed like some kind of strange, stuck-up complex you had, which is why I started taking offense. But it makes sense now, and I'm satisfied. My issue was never the fact that you didn't want to meet anyone (I don't care at the end of the day); it was your insinuations that bothered me. But I'm pretty content with just being Internet friends if you are. No issue. Just didn't like the insinuation that I'm less than real just because you'll never meet me. Sorry to bother you with this, but I've actually wanted to have this conversation for years and I'm glad we've had it.

I think that being 100% honest is just as fruitless as trying to know everything in Decartian logic. People aren't honest or liars, just shades of liar. The most honest person is someone who lies without meaning to (like guestimating things when recounting a story from a long time ago), the least honest is a compulsive liar. All the more reason to believe that people are generally more "real" on the Internet, if you ask me.

From what you're saying here, it sounds like you're saying there's no point in having friends in-person at all, but I feel like that isn't quite what you mean. Care to elaborate?
Let's put this in Seinfeld terms: sorry, I already have three friends, I don't need a fourth. Whatever companionship that in-person friendship offers, I don't need more of it than I have. The ideas I propositioned earlier (sensory details, including those beyond talking) are mostly in, but most importantly it's a way to get out of the house while keeping a sense of security regardless of where you go.
"I have enough friends." SHIT, ARIA THAT'S ALL YOU NEEDED TO SAY

Okay, but that was literally a response to your notion of "people" being more real over the internet. I disagree, I think people are willing to lie even more when you can't verify all the facts.
Are liars not really liars? 🤔
If that wasn't intended to be a jab, then I don't see the point of that response.
To put words on a page? 👌
Not a jab, though I'm sorry for being a little cross with you throughout this discussion. I was merely reiterating my point that people who reveal themselves to be liars on the Internet are liars. There is no split personality where the person is honest in "real life" and a liar on the Internet. If you're a liar on the Internet, you're a liar in general. That's what I believe. Maybe I was being a little cheeky, but I wasn't trying to be insulting.

None of the activities require us to meet up. Literally the only reason would be what Prehistoric said his mission statement was earlier: to see how we act in live environments, and to probe deeper into our lives to get a deeper understanding of the person.
And yeah, if I want a deeper understanding of someone I'll either marry them or become their shrink. I don't want to analyze the twitch response of people to see how it measures up to their online personas.
I completely agree with everything you just said here, actually, but we're still looking at it from two different angles. From what you're saying here, it sounds like you're saying there's no point in having friends in-person at all, but I feel like that isn't quite what you mean. Care to elaborate?

I don't like talking for the sake of talking; I'd rather say what needs to be said then be done. It's the reason I hate long arguments: if everything's been said but there isn't an agreement, every extra word is just being redundant.
Choosing to meet someone for just the sake of talking to them sounds like a waste of time. Therefore, given my disposition towards not speaking to someone just for the sake of chatter, it would be weird for me to suddenly schedule lunch with some person I've never met just to talk to them.
Well, talking is talking and having lunch is having lunch, so it seems like you find a lot of other harmless, healthy activities pointless too. That said, I doubt if Snake and I met up, all we'd do is talk. We'd play games, maybe watch a couple movies. Is that pointless too? What cool awesome excellent and un-pointless things do you do with your "real life" friends, then? Fucking skydiving? I didn't know you had such high standards. Do you see how stuck-up this sounds?

People put on more of a facade """""in real life""""" than they do on the Internet.
You should know better than to assume that I'm at my realest here lmao
You're "people"?
Not that that was the crux of my point, or anything. I'd much rather you have responded to that.
A lot of people, sure. But a lot more like fake internet points enough to lie for attention, or will try to save face even if the platform is completely anonymous.
People are egotistical; they'll do whatever they can to get the attention of their choice from an audience, regardless of what they have to say or do.
Yeah, and if you're the kind of person who would lie for attention, then that's your true colors showing. Over the big scary fake Internet, where things couldn't possibly be real.

There is more to it (why I don't like cats, for the example) that's what makes it circular, because thus far, your view has boiled down to "i don't wanna cause i don't wanna" "it's awkward because it's awkward and therefore it couldn't possibly be worth it despite the fact that i've survived awkward stuff before" it's your prerogative if you want to feel that way and don't want to explain it further, because it's not my place to pry but understand that this is why it makes your position so difficult

im using weird as a synonym for awkward. how is doing something you dont want to do awkward. its nonsensical sure but not awkward.
"I really hate putting toothpicks under my toenails, but you know what? I'm going to go ahead and do that right now anyway just because."
That does not sound weird to you
like at all
pretending that you don't already do things like that (alcohol) that's not a fair comparison, and i don't need to tell you why that said, if you asked me why i wouldn't want to shove a toothpick under my toenail, i would be able to explain to you why in detail—no problem

It's weird because I don't want to do it, so doing it anyway would make no sense. I have no idea how to be more straightforward than that.
because that's very circular you're not obligated to explain further than that, but you can't act like there isn't more to it

I wouldn't say that I've interacted with Brad Pitt just because he read my mean tweet on Kimmel. Hearing isn't an intercation because it doesn't provide feedback (either through a vocal response or facial expressions).
I'd think you could gather that it's a personal standard by the fact that I haven't told anyone they're wrong for disagreeing. I just need something more for it to feel real. Right, but you realize I can continue to whittle down social interaction to its most threadbare and say that they apply to all forms of interaction. This "something more" doesn't exist, is what I'm trying to say. It's an illusion, and everything that Internet communication lacks can be replicated in some form, and I'd still firmly argue that the Internet is where people show their true selves anyway. People put on more of a facade """""in real life""""" than they do on the Internet.

I'm referring to awkward "situations", not just feeling awkward. Hanging out with a friend, but you're both just kind of sitting silently an not interacting for 15+ minutes? I'd feel fine doing that (happens all the time), but I'd still describe it as an awkward situation.
My best friend, who I've known for 16 years and practically lives in my house over the summer, and I will have days where we just kind of sit in silence, too. I don't consider that awkward, but maybe that's because I've known him for so long, we have a near-psychic understanding of how we feel and what we want to do, and sometimes, that translates to minding our own business for 30 minutes. And he feels the same way, we've talked about it before. In that sense, I suppose I would have a more conservative definition of an "awkward situation," but it's not exactly something I can pinpoint so much as I can give a bunch of meaningless examples.
