"people lie and troll each other on the internet, so you can't trust anyone"yeah, unlike the real world where you can trust everyone"the internet allows people to be anonymous so they can get away with saying fucked up shit"in other words, the internet allows people to reveal to each other who they REALLY are—even if what you really are is a worthless troll—making it even less of a facade than the one created by physical social interaction, where we try to make ourselves look presentable to one another due to obligation, among other smokescreens, that basically serve to do nothing but obfuscate the seedy underbellies, or the true cores of our beingeither way, all of this takes place under the purview of the physical material world, so there is, literally, metaphysically, no reason to divide "the internet" with the "real world," because they are objectively one in the same, and the former cannot even exist without the latter—everything that happens in life is part of life, obviously

There is. Almost none of us here have ever met each other and haven’t forged the type of friendships you can have when meeting someone face to face.
It doesn’t mean these are worthless experiences or conversations, but I’d say most people just aren’t real about who they are. Half the people here don’t interact with other in the way they would if this were in person. A lot of people play a character. You can meet a lot of cool, decent people online but there is a clear difference between a friend you can see every day and one you’ve never seen before.Personally, I don’t care. I take things as they come and any interaction had online is just as real as one had in person. But it’s not exactly the same. Just like it’s sad when a friend moves away or you move away from friends and instead of handshakes it’s phone calls and messages.
makes 0 sense
ok
