There are definitely particular people I enjoy talking and posting with on here and I would care if they stopped coming online, but idk if you can call someone a friend when your main interaction is shitposting on a shitposting forum. Do you guys like, talk to each other? Do you do stuff outside of hexbear together?

Is this another one of those times when I find out that communism is happening at someone's house and everyone on hexbear was invited but me

      You too! You wouldn't also happen to be a Muslim with aspergers?

    No, but I find the average user here to be very kind and caring. I'm an asshole with mental illness, so it's hard for me to make friends or just be a normal person.

      Something funny about FBI agents being the lamest white people. You know they make the "not if see you first" joke, but also it has a threatening undertone since they might've actually killed people.

        This sounds like the vibe i get from most suburban white ppl tbh.

          Walk-in freezer with bodies hanging off hooks, but they claim each was a legitimate case of self defence.

    I'm friends with a comrade offline on here and I've talked to them over the phone while I was in rehab. They're good people, sadly life stuff is getting in the way for them :sadness:

      Of course you don't need to. There are only two groups of posters:

      1. Posts that have :grillman: and :soypoint-1: these guys a lot :soypoint-2: and the words 'treats' and 'bazinga' peppered in everywhere. That's @UlyssesT.

      2. The rest of us here in the office. :fedposting:

    My only friends are my my wife, and then our siblings and their partners, and two libs I play magic the gathering with during my lunch breaks.

    Everybody here is cool though.

      I have drawings of what I think you all look like and I kiss them all on the cheek before tucking them in.

    My grandma always said "to make friends, you must first show yourself friendly." I don't have an online place to invite people over to, and I'm definitely not putting my irl location here, so that's kind of a barrier to making actual friends. I consider all users here to be friendly acquaintances that it's always a pleasure to talk to though.

    My inbox is always open, and I consider y'all friends, esp the users that I regularly see posting.

    IRL, I know and regularly engage in some unnamed capacity with two comrades that I met on this site. Like, in the meat space.
