It's a cursed place and it's probably good that it's gone, but I made so many friends off Omegle text chat.
I also made a few friends off rateyourmusic about five years ago.
Seems to be harder to make friends both online and in person now.

phones are tools to connect with yr friends they are not the connection. my fav (and worst) memories of my friends isn’t over text, it’s in person or even over the phone. texts and dms are tools to get to that connection, not where the connection happens.
constant access to our friends through social media and texts lulls is into thinking we’re connected, when it really isn’t true, i just know that u posted a photo of yr cat or that yr on vacation or yr state of being. that’s just information, not connection.
This is a tuff take and Ive lost friends over it, bc in truth, i wouldn’t meet their needs as parasocial/internet connection makes me so miserable and that can have consequences. it’s tough to loose them but I’m happier with people who understand me and vice versa.

I never had twitter but its impact on the internet was undeniable. I see a bunch of people nowadays fearing for the future of media and journalism, as well as the capacity to make regular, normal enough interactions. I leave you with one of my favorite interactions from the platform In the spirit of mourning what was.

It was daunting at first to leave a place I regularly posted on for 10+ years and made so many connections through, but I don’t even think about it at this point. It became such a cesspool of bad vibes in the past couple years.

The first two lines of the chorus:
'You can never be strong,
You can only be free'
Sums up everything great about Robert Pollard's songwriting. Drama, hope and disappointment.

I'm amazed no one else has mentioned the great Townes Van Zandt. This is my favourite of his, a beautiful voice and songwriter gone far too soon.

Same as anyone else. I think the 'male loneliness epidemic' is nearly 100% self inflicted. However, most men don't know how to find meaning, hence why they get into stupid shit for a sense of purpose.
