Meeting people is easy... finding people with similar interests is nearly impossible. I can find lots of surface level shallow stuff that doesn't hold much silubstance, but finding someone who cares about the things that make me tick and gets me excited? Naw... It feels like a barren wasteland.
I might be able to find it online, but I want to sit in my backyard with them, chopping wood for the firepit, drinking beer, smoking weed or maybe eating mushrooms, all while we discuss our shared interests in shit like torrenting, movies, games, news, etc, then maybe going on some hikes with our dogs, riding bikes, or kayaking down the river.
I want someone that wants my help with home repairs, who wants my help me in return, and maybe take up a wood working project or two every year
Someone who doesn't take themselves too serious and can laugh at themselves while being a fool.
Yeah man, I'm asking too much.
So umm, chatgpt, you think AI will kill of humans anytime soon? Oh yeah cool. So I got into this band/movie, and I'd love to hear recommendations for something similar...
It ain't real, but it gives me something to grow my mind and interests at least.
Man this thread just makes me realize how lucky I am that I have a sister who I am close with, and who married a man who shares a ton of my interests and hobbies.. I've got two lifelong friends so long as they don't end up divorced.
It's a treasure to value for sure
Even if they divorce you can still hang with your buddy. Unless he does some fucked up shit prior of course.
I doubt he'd ever do anything really bad, but I know if they did break up my sister would hold a grudge(she's a great person but takes breakups pretty hard.), and it would certainly make things extremely awkward between us, at least for awhile.
I'm just glad that so far there's no indication that they will get to that point. They are pretty good at communicating with each other and they already have a system in place that keeps finances from being a point of contention between them, so the most common causes of a divorce shouldn't be an issue short of something drastic happening, like my sister or him developing a disability that keeps either of them from being able to work.
It's just concerning for me because my entire social circle was basically formed thanks to their relationship. Every other friend that I am not quite as close to I met through them and they are closer to him and they are with me, and I know at least a few would sever connections the minute they got divorced as a show of support for him, even if he asked them not to, which knowing him he absolutely wouldn't want them to.
