Is this something ai can fix?
xandrius•41m ago
I imagine this comment being satirical but, given the audience, also not.

Sure: pay your monthly subscription fee, and it keeps being your friend.

I don't have time for that. I'd rather pay the subscription fee so that the AI will be friends with other people on my behalf, thus freeing me up to grind, gym, and golf.

I thought the three Gs were gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss?

There’s actually already an app for that, and I’m not even joking.

edit: I was going to link a specific one I found a few weeks ago, but it turns out there are tons of them now, so I’ll just explain the idea. Most of these apps are basically reminder tools disguised as simple little games. A common example is a flower garden. Each “flower” represents a friend, and you keep the flower alive by staying in touch. That might mean sending a message or planning a hangout. If you don’t, the flower wilts, just like a real one would without care.

The problem isn't time. Most men never learned to maintain friendships without a shared context like school or work holding it together. When that scaffolding disappears, so do the friendships.
vincnetas•11m ago
any suggestions how to do that?
le-mark•53s ago
I think inadvertently found some insight on this. I’m typical and have failed maintain friends over the years. As an old dad who’s spent a lot of time at kids parties talking to men. Men just aren’t that pleasant to talk to. Best case is we’re opinionated, myopic, closed off. Worst case ignorant and obnoxious.
