here's the thing: everyone complains about late capitalism and how alienated and isolated we all are. everyone acknowledges this, and reassures each other of this, alone.

you need to get out of yourself, and your head, and your small bubble of one, and you need to go see old friends, or former friends, or people in your social circle who are just meh, or your annoying roommates, or your co-workers, or your former co-workers, or your lame family members, or your lame and bigoted family members, or strangers at a bar, or whomever, and party. meeting people is praxis, strengthening relationships is praxis, making yourself seen and vulnerable to another is praxis. please, guys, go out.

this, here, now, is a facsimile, mediated through a thousand screens. go kiss, go get kissed, go reject a kiss, go be denied a kiss. go out.

    Honestly reminiscent of that r/cth post about being a virgin that was apparently read on cumtown.

          I mean OP came off as sincere but socially insensitive at worst. I don't see hostile intent in his wording unless other posters here can invoke the powers of SCOTUS judges to read the minds of authors not present.

          "Live a little" is now fighting words. Meet me in the schoolyard at 3 o'clock.

          Yeesh. Invoke the options of: Ignore it. Disengage.

          nah it devolved into a struggle session about bidets vs. toilet paper and which was bourgeois decadence. the user who thought a $15 bidet was middle class extravagance went off the rails and started insulting everyone until they were banned
