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.

    I grill out with a few of my Mormon buddies from the fbi who are members here

      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.
