   that's really what life is feeling like lately. as if it's a game of hide and seek, and i'm it. but the game i'm playing is seek and seek.

   sometimes i'm tempted to just ask people flat out.

   "excuse me? i've tried being friendly to you. i've tried being distant. i've tried leaving. i've tried entering. i've tried sitting. i've tried standing up. i've tried speaking. i've tried listening. i've tried eye contact. i've tried looking away. what is your problem? 😡"

     @RealFake i've been in those circles for a bit since i was an early hire in a Bitcoin startup and was an insider to the action. the cofounders were a bit where i'm now. very focused on what really matters in life. but maybe also a bit cynical. in it to milk money out of people.

     @thor u might try a bitcoin meetup? if u dont know abt it people will be happy to explain. if u do know abt it then youll be in good company

     im over 30 also, and fortunate to have a weird type of life that puts me in touch with many people... probably my superpower if i have one

     it sounds like youre putting yourself out there, which is a critical step for making connections

     @thor i loved oslo when i visited. people advised me that the best way to get people to chat was to have drinks w them... maybe not the best advice for everybody

     i visited before the permanent biomedical dystopia had begun

     are u under or over 30?

     @RealFake over 30. and i do go to bars and talk to people. i worked up the courage for that, eventually. chat is easy but it's also superficial. and i get the impression that adults don't really want friends. they're either there for light conversation or for getting laid. doesn't feel like the right kind of space for finding buddies.

     @RealFake but to me, that's basically as bad as it's possible to get. you're not only saying fuck the government, you're saying fuck other people too
