Actually you're not supposed to capitalize every time you mention drag.

But sometimes you meet people who you never see again. That brain space could be used for Vim keybindings.

Geh weg, Drachenficker. Ich bin persönlich voreingenommen gegenüber Menschen, die intime Beziehungen mit Drachen haben.

Don't forget the universal "Dude" and "Bro"

Hello Jarvis!

I have ADHD (+ other stuff) and so names has always been a massive issue for me. A few years ago I just stopped trying because I don't talk to most people anyways.

Excellent point, if you're just 1 on 1 with someone you dont need their name except to talk about them with someone else.

Or if you're really close friends, the old "fuckface".

Or to show that you paid attention to anything they said about themselves and didn’t just wait your turn to talk. You know, basic social etiquette lol

When I was around 20yo, I spent a summer with a new group of friends pretending I knew everyone's names. It was anxiety hell. Today, I realize that I can just admit that I forget names and ask and it's no problem. But that was an interesting summer.

so relatable, i call everyone "dude" or "man".

i think names are an exception and only reserved for rare occurrences. honestly, i wouldn't mind if people didn't have names in general. just call everyone "child" "man" or "hey you" depending on their appearance. names are a weird concept to me. it's not natural that people have names, i guess.

basic social etiquette lol

in other words, forced and unnatural and unnecessary behavior that is just a parasite eating your lifetime and energy

it’s called living in a society but ok?

most names are made-up anyways, and i can't remember made-up stuff. there has to be something profound about it or i forget it

[email protected]

actually i have adopted a hobby of just giving people new names (yeah i know it could be seen as disrespectful but for me it's just a normal way of doing things) and then calling them by that name. yes, it has led to confusion in the past. but it's fun and feels good.

It's happened to me a few times over the years, but if anything it's an opportunity to think up a nickname. Sometimes they stick and all.

Bro, homie, dawg, phil

It’s easy to go years without knowing names, better if you don’t use that last one
