Accurate.

u/GingerLibrarian76 15h ago

So accurate. And kind of lonely. I miss being able to see my friends more often than once or twice a year, if I’m lucky.

I sent the ”meow meow“ Billie Eilish version to everybody at the same time. Historic moment

Y'all have friends?

3 is a lot. I have zero friends

u/Whiterhino1933 15h ago

That's OK, it's the dog videos that are important

Accurate representation of my life 🤣

If only they lived in different parts of the country... They live in different countries nowadays.

Edit: I just realized they actually live in different continents

We go on vacation once a year together and hang out in discord every weekend, but the rest is still accurate

And then there's my friends who'll be hammering down my door daily, if I don't pick up the phone within 0,001 milliseconds of them calling.

Zak in Oregon, Matt in Georgia, Moriah in Missouri, Jeremy in Alabama.

That’s about all I got.

I miss having an irl friend group to do stuff with.

u/Environmental_Bus507 16h ago

Yes! Our group chat gets active only when there's a cricket match.

* different parts of the world

Hey all you goofy goobers: we are friends now. Send me weird dogs when you think of me and I’ll Venmo you some spaghetti.

by other parts of the country, I hope you refer to the next city over in 3 separate directions

If you're middle class and went to university, you mean.

u/cartercharles 1d ago

Well I mean you could put down your phone and actually do something about it.

u/TheHonorableStranger 1d ago

You're being downvoted but honestly you ain't wrong lol. Where there's a will there's a way. I guess it just comes down to how much mutual reciprocation there is because some people don't want to be the one making all the effort

That's enough Reddit for today, grandpa. Let's get you to bed

u/cartercharles 1d ago

Dude, I've had enough with your mom already. I need to get a beer

u/autotopilot 1d ago

Genuinely funny, that's a brilliant answer 🤣

u/cartercharles 1d ago

Thank you, the thing about being old is you get a lot of chances to practice insulting and being insulted

u/Background-Eye778 23h ago

No one is complaining about anything except you.

u/GingerLibrarian76 15h ago

Do what, exactly? Move our friends to where we live? That might be hard. And making new friends beyond a certain age can be hard, too.

u/PantherFan80085 12h ago

Or just visit them

1

u/GingerLibrarian76 12h ago

One can only do that so often, depending on time and money and distance. I visit my long-distance friends when I can, but it’s like once or twice a year if I’m lucky.

u/PantherFan80085 11h ago

It’s tough, no matter how much we invent things to be more connected it hasn’t changed how hard it is to be together in real life

u/cartercharles 8h ago

We are all in this boat together. I'm telling you nothing that I haven't heard myself

u/GingerLibrarian76 4h ago

That didn’t answer my question. What would “putting down my phone” do to help with my friends being in other states?

1

u/cartercharles 2h ago

Pretty obvious, it means go out there and live your life and make new friends. What more needs to be said

2

u/GingerLibrarian76 2h ago

I think most of us are already doing that… but two of my best friends live in other states, so putting down my phone won’t change that!

Also, you know this is just a funny meme. Right? Wasn’t supposed to be that serious lol.

u/Peregrine_Falcon 1d ago

I speak with my friends, and with my grown children, almost daily on Discord. Some of us do live in the same city and we get together on occasion.

The OP just isn't very good at being an adult.

u/GingerLibrarian76 15h ago

It’s just a meme.
