Either having mono or being monogamous, I don’t care at this point. Just save me from the fright and eventual, inevitable destruction of myself by being exposed to a bunch of people who, if forced to watch Zone Of Interest, would give it a 2/5 rating on Letterboxd for “humanizing the inner lives of Nazis” because they sympathized with Hedwig wanting to travel to fascist Italian spas.

    Truly an antisocial, hyperatomized hellscape where it’s next to impossible to meet people and make meaningful connections, and the apps aren’t much better either. You have my condolences for living in Ottawa comrade 😔

    In all seriousness, I’m not really looking to date at the moment, but I’m always happy to make new friends. If you want someone to talk to or hang out with, feel free to reach out. Though I am pretty busy the next few weeks with end of semester stuff.

      Trying to get the courage to DM you, but also too nervous 'cause I’m so used to mixing in sarcastic hyperbole with my real feelings to fake-freak-out about things. I hope you have good anime opinions.

        I get that, I’m a nervous wreck when trying to talk to new people, so I usually just don’t lol. The internet makes it easier, but only a little bit. I don’t mind sarcasm though, and as for anime opinions, I’m not really sure what passes for good around here. I used to watch a lot of anime, but I haven’t in a while, so I’m definitely not up to date on the most recent shows.

    I’m not going back there. I refuse. Just give me the GF and I can bypass the immense torment of being lead down those winding verbal corridors of singular "hey"s and the even worse “you need to like my dog prisoners”.

    I would have challenged this two days ago but then I found out “Grimez” met Elon Musk on Lesswrong. I will level with you, meeting people off Discord, Reddit, and Twitter is feasible (or used to be for the latter ones). I am not happy to admit this. Why not activitypub? Or Matrix? People met thru IRC. Could you get into a tall hairy man who skulks around?
