I don’t know how you all feel about ChatGPT but I was curious if the robots would understand how silly this post was. It delivered.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 56 minutes ago

This is really good. I'm impressed.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

When your post is so vapid that you get roasted by an LLM.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 hours ago

So there is a real world use case for chatgpt, roasting LinkedIn bros.

Is this for his AA meetings? Because it sounds kinda fire for that.

Hey if this gets more men to make actual meaningful friendships instead of succumbing to the roganverse I'm all for it.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

What if we just don't like any of you? Lol

Launched into the sun.

Ngl I read this as a positive thing at first

Like friendships should be about creating a safe space where people can talk about sensitive subjects without being judged. A lot of toxic masculinity influencers keep saying that men shouldn't have feelings, men should just bottle it up, etc. and that's just not a good and healthy mindset.

Then I realized this was on linkedin lol

They could make some shitty startup named BroBar that creates public places where the atmosphere is chill, beer is served, and where you could find people for your "core group". Maybe even play some pool.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

But first of all, you have to think about the monitarization and scalability! Make it a subscription service! And you need an app to track your ~~pay slaves~~ customers! And you need merch! This "friendship"-business model must be profitable!

Would be a nice place for 30-50 hogs to hang out.

Men need to start forming cute groups of 4-5 where

  • no clothing is off limits
  • the goal is to give headpats
  • each person is accountable to their goals (:3)
  • the group helps strategize a roadmap for the person to live into their fursona

Let's synergize and offer value-added guidence with some D&D.

it's called a wargaming teambuilding exercise

Let's share each other's emotions and experiences of the week while drinking beers.

What a novel idea, let's call it "Happy Hour"

[–] [email protected] 48 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

This sounds like the guy who suggested "virgin edibles" as an idea worth trying out.

Or, to rephrase it, "food."

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 hours ago

Fuck, imagine if someone ONLY ate edibles for all their nutrition needs

I don't think this is bad advice. However I don't think that it should be limited to just men.

Also I think the group should align politically and be able to support each other in solidarity. They could also use meeting time to plan resistance to fascist regimes.

However there are quite a few people (I am mostly thinking of men I know) that tend to isolate themselves from friends when they need help the most or once they get into a romantic relationship. This is probably not just a men's issue however.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Do, uh... Do i know you?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Also I think the group should align politically

I think it's best if people get along well with each other despite possible conflicting political views.

If I have to explain to anyone that genocide is wrong and that human rights are good. Or if I find someone votes to promote genocide or reduce human rights. Then they are not my friend.

I might try to talk in good faith to them, I might attempt to negotiate with them, i might even exchange pleasantries with them. But they will never have my full confidence.

I do not have to "get along" with a fascist.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Full agreement but I will say as a syndicalist it's been good for me to be friends with progressive liberals and some more authoritarian and central planning communists. We all want the same thing: a better society that's less oppressive and fairer. We each can help each other see flaws in our ideas and figure out how to advance things.

Fascism should be always off the table. But single party approaches are extremely self destructive

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

"Conflicting political views" doesn't necessarily mean "fascist". I don't understand why this topic always causes such misunderstandings. This is something I also noticed when I made a thread on the Fediverse community asking about possible advantages or disadvantages about the mostly limited range of views on Lemmy. Some users replied in a similar fashion. Maybe it's just a deliberate exaggeration, i don't know.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

If you haven't noticed the USA is in the middle of a fascist auto-coup.

So it's not exaggeration. I've had to cut ties with members of my family. Because they believe some people are sub humans that don't deserve rights or that regions of the globe should be purged.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Politics usually aren't as polarised as in the USA

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I don't have any first hand experience outside of the USA. But from global news it sounds like this is a global trend in places like germany, France, Italy, most of south america, Africa, and Asia too.

Maybe I should say that you should align with friends based on your moral principles rather than politics.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

That's better yes. Some of my closest friends are politically very different from me, but in the end we mostly do align morally.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Cut it off after the first 2 points and it sounds ideal.

A bunch of 4-5 guy friends who are open to talk about anything with the motivation being to get a better understanding.......where do I sign up?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Create the group chat and send an inv

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

It's not a question of isolating, it's because people only have a limited amount of time and energy and we're all forced to prioritize. Once you factor in romantic relationships, family and work/business many of us don't have much time left for regular meetings with friends.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

Not to diminish your position however, I think the problem you are describing is caused by having a lack of a social safety net, not a reason to cut free from one.

Humans are a social animals, and we are more likely to thrive as a community than as rugged individuals.

Fellas, is it gay to have friends?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 15 hours ago

Hey, if that’s what it takes for Nathanael to have some human interaction, I’m cool with it. I don’t necessarily want to be involved, but I’m not against it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I propose adding "dressing up in leather" and "worshipping the devil" to this list; Just to make it spicy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago

Smoke meth and hail Satan!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

idk what kinds of 'friends' you have, but none of mine are like this.

This is more of ...what, a mini business incubator but for life goals?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

There are people who literally have like become capitalism. They don't see human interaction as a thing beyond some sort of gain. And this is basically someone realizing that maybe just having supportive friends is a good thing, but can't frame that outside of the realm of pure capitalism and how every interaction must be a transaction.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Oh shit, that's right -- you just reminded me of a guy like this. Every "friendship" seemed to be transactional, and he didn't seem to understand friends who just wanted someone else to succeed with nothing in return.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

Yeah unfortunately it’s more and more common with people who only interact with social media and are force fed like “alpha male” or “hustle and grind” style bullshit by the algorithm and it’s the only thing they believe.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

If only everyone's friends were like this.
