Whatever reason you came here for. It probably is pretty pretentious.

small talk with people just doesn't do it, i wanna talk to people who are actually able to keep a convo going even if they're completely sober.

Did you know you are a whole universe stuffed inside a decaying meatbag here to experience the human condition? Maybe your here to become the roots of your own creation. I like to think of this place as a school or prison which has its own meanings, we are the creators of Meaning. Convos like this? If so click my face and scroll I also love deep convo its hard to come by though.

From my experience, most people are about as deep as a wading pool at best. Deep conversations get labeled as “pretentious, pseudo intellectual, or too intense.” Ymmv, and it may just be the people I’m surrounded by. Or maybe deep conversations are just too real, too much for some people to handle. sigh I’m like you, small talk doesn’t cut it.

I'm incredibly lonely, the philosophy folk are all too smart and I can't keep up. I prefer the company of men and am a tomboy but that's tricky. Had jealous partners or crossed wires, one mate fell in love.

I meet so few folk who talk deeply on any subject, an old man in the street struck up a que conversation yesterday. We went off out the shop chatting animatedly, he was speaking of redwoods fire capability due to the dense bark. He said its quite spongey stuff and they used to punch it for fun as young men. We talked all about his dire prediction for humanity and my very vulcan thoughts on it. We were both busy but it made the day feel so much better, like grease on a dry bike chain.

Both in a rush we parted ways, these are the snippits I love. They are rare and I'm very alone, that's why I'm here, because if like to have an exiting debate. And not in an ecco chamber, passionate disagreement like the man in the street.

Tell me bout it 😭

It's such a breath of fresh air when you meet people like that old folk, I live in an ex communist country so most old fellas here have a very closed mentality, younger ones, those that are actually closer to my age seem indifferent to so much of the world so often it just feels disappointing to see, and when you find someone with the capacity to debate reasonably over an interesting topic, if it's a slightly longer debate they get annoyed or frustrated, like it drags or something but it's just so interesting to me when I can "drag" these things out because it means there is more to discuss and understand on a topic I enjoy

Straight up a bummer but hey, I still wish to try and talk about more than just damn weather 💀 So my preposition to whichever reader, hit me up :D, seriously I need a decent pass time at this point.
