@littlewisehen Wie hieß nochmal diese app, in der man Avatare erstellen konnte? Hab die seit Ewigkeiten nicht mehr gesehen und grad Jugenderinnerungen ausgegraben.
Und ja, bodenlos dämliche Takes
@thesocialist_11 Also ich verstehe den Punkt, wenn man das für sich persönlich entscheiden möchte. Aber ich würde niemanden (der/die wirklich die Kunst/Künstler*in-Trennung reflektiert) das Links-sein aufgrund von Konsum absprechen
@fynn_444 @Mr_Endon @Jesusistkoenig1@J_H_O_V_A@Pfalzjockel @jojowa161 Hast du dir mal deinen eigenen Acc angeschaut? Das wäre vor 10 Jahren das faschohafteste Profil aller Zeiten gewesen und heute bist du eine/r von Tausenden
i loathe tiny transactional “venmo me $9 for covering lunch” culture
no i’m gonna pay for you this time, you’re gonna pay for me next time, and it’s all gonna come out in the aggregate of our long and storied friendship
This tweet won’t be popular, but I think it’s relevant to the LoL/gaming community:
I think most men would benefit greatly from close friendships with women and nonbinary people.
Before I started university, nearly all my close friends were boys (high school, military, sports, gaming). When I started my university studies, I was lucky to find a friend group with a more diverse gender distribution: roughly 60% men.
During this time period, I noticed my emotional and social intelligence develop significantly, which is a natural byproduct of aging and being exposed to new situations. Nevertheless, I think my non-male friendships were the primary catalyst for this development; I started to see the world through a non-male perspective.
The most valuable conversations were usually one-on-one or in small groups of 3-4. I don’t want to generalize—I’ve had plenty of deep and emotional male-male conversations—but talking to women without any ulterior motive (reaching a level similar to what I imagine close female-female friendships are) is an insanely effective way of improving your mental models of the world—especially as a young man.
This is all anecdotal, but being in a fully committed relationship is a catalyst for, and not a hindrance to, developing close friendships with women. (This is in addition to the positive developmental effects of living with a woman.)
Perhaps my female friends have also learned a lot about the male brain from talking to me? Not sure how relevant.
TL;DR: I think men should cultivate non-male friendships because they help communities become less gender-segmented.
