You dipshits need to practice talking to people.
Seriously, it’s going to bite you in the ass sooner than later that you’ve embraced being “introverted” as an identity or virtue. You are the product of several millions years of successful social evolution and small communities banding together for survival, you are hard-wired to talk to people and have physical and emotional closeness with others. You will only become more depressed and more alone feeling the longer you put off exercising this survival-essential muscle.
You kinda seem like an old man, screaming at clouds…
But you’re right, 100 percent. XD
I really am an old man screaming at clouds, and I am trying to pass on life advice I wish I had learned sooner, as someone who once identified as a sheltered introverted chud, my life and opportunities improved many times over when I put some effort into challenging myself to socialize more and learn how to small-talk properly and make people feel comfortable around me.
It’s wild because there are “influencers” trying to spin this as some kind of jedi mind trick that it takes courses and books and techniques to get good at making people like you, when literally all you have to do is listen and ask a lot of questions. Coworkers, classmates, people at the checkout counter, people who smile at you at the coffee shop, it’s all opportunities to get to know other humans and make connections. Just don’t have an agenda, just learn to actually like people. “I hate people” is a great bumper sticker or meme text, but you can’t internalize that lesson, you will live a lonely life if you can’t find things to appreciate about other human beings. We’re all in this together and nobody gets out alive, the sooner you start learning to “party up” and form groups with random players the better your end-game loot will be.
Well damn. You sure have it figured out now. If everyone did what you just wrote, the world would be incredible. :)
This adversity to calling is a real f’n problem.
It really is. I can’t quite wrap my head around what makes calling and talking to someone such a struggle for an otherwise normal and healthy person. The most obvious answer is anxiety, but if your anxiety is to that point you really should be talking to a professional about it. …Which I guess would require calling them. You know what, nevermind this makes sense all of a sudden.
There’s a TV ad recently for a
budgetingpersonal data vacuum app that has fake street interviews. One of the things the actor says is she can’t bring herself to call to cancel things so the app does it for her.I’ve heard people online and in person say they can’t handle making phone calls but the idea that it’s so common it’s in an ad like it’s normal is crazy.
I have a problem of barely understanding the language where I live now. It complicates communication a bit as you may guess, and this is also doubled because noone here uses text, you text in WhatsApp and they call you for details.
I know, skill issue, anyway
Good job moving outside your comfort zone!
The aversion to social experiences broadly is becoming more than an annoying problem, if people continue to avoid meeting, socializing and forming relationships at this rate, our society may literally collapse. The weird fear of phone calls is just a symptom of a deeper de-socialization problem that’s ruining a lot more than dating and friendships.
Lack of community and involvement is allowing our politics to control us, instead of the other way around as a democracy should be, there are fewer people caring about issues outside of their phone screen, and there will be an aging population and not enough people to do the physical labor needed to keep society afloat.
People now call themselves “introverts” or “antisocial” like it’s a disease they can’t control and make zero effort to get better at talking to others.
The “Gen Z stare” is real and it’s disturbing as fuck. If you can’t act normal when taking a fast-food order, you need to think long and hard about your personal habits and behavior.
Yes you can
Actually, you can text 911. Many counties have setup that service. We got it working quite early in the counties I worked EMS in because voice calls are often quite sketchy due to poor cell service. You can easily be somewhere that a voice call can’t work, but you just might have enough service to send text,
Also good for domestic violence and other situations where a voice call would make things worse.
Actually I got in a drunk fight with my SO and called the cops (not my finest moment) and then told them “nevermind.” They texted back to ask if I was really OK, if I was being coerced, etc. I was pretty impressed. I don’t drink anymore.
Good for you!
As a great Philosopher once said: I’m pullin’ for you. We’re all in this together.
In the USA, yes! You can text 911 for any and all emergency! :)
Kinda but you have to register in advance for the service. Atleast in canada.

Please ensure if you are planning on having an emergency to register in advance and live in the correct area. Thank you very much
I mean some people are mute, so I would hope this kind of thing exists everywhere.
Maybe but everywhere, but it is certainly more common. Perhaps not best for a fire, but I recall the example of a domestic abuse situation where they were effectively trapped with no way to talk without raising suspicion.
In France, you can text 114
Email works (this is a joke, I do not know if this works)
I actually got to send that type of email to my boss.
Students set fire to toilet paper in the bathrooms. I emptied my water bottle onto the still glowing embers, took some pics, and tried to phrase my email to as close as to the show. (Don’t think anyone got the reference, but I had laugh)
0118, 999, 881, 999, 119, 725…3.
I tried to sign up but I failed at step one where I have to be in Canada.
This is such bullshit.
Edit- I made an oppsie
If you’re in the USA then depending on your state … yes!
FYI for anyone thinking it’s a link to a website, it’s NOT. It’s a file download. I hate it when people hide the actual URL. I don’t want to download any files!
It’s a file download
I would hope so, the url ends in /download
You can’t see the fucking URL. That’s my WHOLE point!
hold it
pretty sure we’re using the same client
Thanks
The blue is not the url you will go to. You can hover the link, and it will display the url on the bottom left of your screen.
For example, clicking here, wont get you to bing, but to google www.bing.com
Is it not obvious from the screenshot that I am on a phone? And phones don’t have hover.
You can ‘view souce’ to see the link as well.
Some phone apps do display the link url below the post body. I use voyager and it looks like this
You can hold the touch…
Edit: to show you can do it.
More specifically, it’s an xlsx spreadsheet.
Not that showing the URL would’ve revealed that information. The URL includes the word “download” but that doesn’t really say much.

So you just happily download malware and viruses from random URLs? Good to know.
I’m getting ready a download file just for people like you. I will let you download it as soon as it’s ready.
Can you just tell me what OS are you using?
Edit
Simply clicking a link to open a website would never infect your machine. Only certain files are loaded in websites, like images, html, css, and JavaScript runs in a sandbox. I.e. you are safe clicking links, browsing the web and letting the browser handle security of those website files.
Downloading files to your machine carries a much bigger risk.
That’s how the internet works.

Exploit to escape the js sandbox exists, there is a dozen brower 0day per year.

Any files are downloaded and loaded, javascript can download arbitrary file in memory, browser too if the server serves incorrect MIME types.
Downloading files to your machine carries a much bigger risk.
The files are downloaded on your machines either case, when the browser do it, it still write the files on disk in it’s cache.
That’s how the internet works.
Given your other comments, I’d argue you dont know how it works.

You clearly don’t know why Chrome uses such massive amounts of RAM.
server serves incorrect MIME types
Those are checked by the browser and any mismatch is highlighted as suspicious.
I guess you might still be using Netscape.
