I like to think I'm an introverts extravert. Most of my friends are introverts and they seem to like having me around, especially in busy social settings since I can act as a barrier to help manage the mayhem. I will gladly offer my services to the introvert who pulls the lever.

"So, as I was saying officer, as I am not a trained trolley operator I didn't knew the lever was a mechanism for it to do thinks, so I watched in horror as it approached the... (tries hard to hide smile)"

has it become popular to be a complete social inept? i've never seen so many kids that can't handle basic human interaction as i have in the last 5 years. WTF?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I think that people are more willing to talk about it now, because mental illness is less stigmatized than it used to be.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why are you seeing so many kids for the last 5 years? Do you have a representative sample size?

I feel like getting a feel for how people in society actually act from memes is a dangerous game. I think the point of them is to push passed hyperbole so that people laugh at it, and then share it with friends.

Also, inept isn't a noun.

If we can verb nouns, we can noun adjectives!

OP screaming at the top of their lungs: "Why are you kids so socially inept?!"

No, it's just over sampling on the Internet.

The terminally online are 90% of Lemmy's content machine.

I get curated stuff for free so I'm happy those people exist but yeah don't take their worldview as the norm.

Nah, most of these nerds are just unhealthy online

The way you interface with strangers on the web is also something that could use a modicum of effort.

Be what you want the web to look like.

user generated toxicity, nerdy shit, and thigh pics are all good parts of the internet.

If I pull the lever hard enough, will the trolley reverse? If so - can I jump on it to avoid the conversation?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I could do a few small talks before I'm socially exhausted, so maybe if i pull the lever about halfway through?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Maybe just run over their mouth parts

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Run on the track while holding the lever

The train will be stopped, but the person who pulled the lever wouldnt be alive to be thanked

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

turn the lever and run like hell

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

That ... could work.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ah, so this is the post where that commenter got lost.

As someone who worked in a gas station for 24 years..

sigh

I’d do it. I’d suck it up. I’d make some damn good friends along the way and then I’d never maintain those friendships and feel guilty for the rest of rest of my life. “Just call him, dipshit. He’s going through a divorce! Just go fishing! Pleaaassse! Ok, here goes. Tomorrow.”

Always tomorrow.

This scene made me laugh so hard even though I've already seen the gif and laughed at that.
