[QUOTE=blockhead;18789916]Ah yeah I see what you mean now. I don't talk to them about things people say on here they just know I go on a few forums. You'd have to be pretty autistic to talk to people about forums that have no expeience with them.[/QUOTE]

i'll meet people irl who also post on other forums and then all of a sudden you have a bunch of memes you can reference. its like instant inside jokes.

[QUOTE=Haz;18789922]you know what I mean[/QUOTE]

yeah I do that's why I was saying you're wrong

it doesn't really apply to intimate relationships like best friends or romantic relations

case in point:
I'm dating a vegetarian from Toronto, she's in arts, doesn't know anything about sciences, and is interested in fashion and politics and some other stuff I'm not nearly as interested or adept in

I mean we're similar in some personality traits but we're not talking about character

[QUOTE=adb;18789904]proving my point

frats are convoluted ways of meeting others. DURR HURR LETS CREATE A BRO BOND[/QUOTE]

That wasn't your point. Backpedal. Your point was that you best friends are the people who have the same/many similar interests as you.

[QUOTE=blockhead;18789927]That wasn't your point. Backpedal. Your point was that you best friends are the people who have the same/many similar interests as you.[/QUOTE]

implying BEING IN A FRAT isn't a main hobby/similar interest

durrrrr

it's like being in a band, it's a big part of your life and you're automatically sharing a bond

but

frats are convoluted because you have nothing in common initially except that you're probably a douchebag

[QUOTE=Gorgon;18789926]yeah I do that's why I was saying you're wrong

yes it does

in social psychology opposites attract is well known for being contradictory to that specific saying, which is generally applied to love

both have a grain of truth in them which indicates the reality is far more complex than either would allow

well being in a frat is on such a different scope from being interested in tech death or something that i don't think it's really comparable

like half the people at a lot of colleges are in greek life

[QUOTE=robertsona;18789919]limit your scope to a very narrow set of likes and dislikes / discussion points[/QUOTE]

That's one of Brent's defining factors and a hall mark of autism. Imagine that.

oh well I've never heard that saying used like that

k well then yeah they would be contradictory if it was used the way you use it

adb you are completely tripping over yourself with these edits honestly

"BEING IN A FRAT is something you have in common except you probably DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON"

brent why don't you go get a test and prove to us you're not autistic

[/QUOTE]

Exactly, that's why I said that wasn't his initial point. It's very obvious he wasn't referring to things like frats when he mentioned tech death and girls but now he's trying to change his argument and act like we're stupid for "misinterpreting" it because he can't ever admit he's wrong.

Camaraderie is completely lost on you, eh, Brent?

i don't think adb is autistic or anything because that implies at least some sort of justification lol. he's just come up with a really weird and complicated and probably fundametally broken system of quote-unquote logic to do things like not talk to anybody or whatever

a lot of people do this for different things and they are twenty thousand times worse than the people who maybe just haven't really thought about it

edit: which maybe in itself is indicative of something like a mental defect. idk

why would you type "quote-unquote" and not just put quotes?

seems kind of weird

now this here pedanticism is clearly autism at work

the best part of this discussion, is while my frat argument is weak

sam and robertsona literally proved my point by agreeing that frats have a large scale appeal and tech death doesn't

my point was that I don't have many socially acceptable things to discuss, and thats why I don't have many bros.

you can't compare frats and tech death because one has a much broader scope

what the fuck is up with accusations of autism

like when is that fad going to wear out

gawd

go to tech death shows

thats pretty much the equivalent of a frat house party for people that are into tech death

and it gets you exposure to tech death bros

brent my point is that you don't need to have Socially Acceptable things--or i guess more accurately don't need to have a trenchant interest in Socially Acceptable things-- to discuss in order to make friends (although saying you don't have "socially acceptable" things to discuss is pretty much rank bullshit and reeks of rationalization for antisocial behavior. literally anyone can find [I]something[/I])

getting really tired not sure i can parse words right now

[QUOTE]go to tech death shows
[/QUOTE]
yeah..because everyone goes to tech death shows to network

the very idea of going to a show vs. joining a frat couldn't be more opposite in that sense

think I might watch [I]Melancholia[/I]

[QUOTE=adb;18789942]except it isn't, how is wanting to be in a frat not a similar interest? durrr[/QUOTE]

It's an interest but it isn't comparable to your original argument. Being condescending doesn't make your right. You're grasping at straws and demonstrating your lack of understanding of social interaction.

get back to me when you get a job, you don't have any real world experience

I don't have much because I worked on campus, but I have a lot more than you do.

You don't understand how idiotic people are, you're in a little high school world right now. You live in a different age. When I was 16 there was no such thing as facebook and myspace

it's so easy to get to know people at an earlier age, but I never had people to meet irl or online really

[QUOTE=adb;18789956]yeah..because everyone goes to tech death shows to network

theyre social events

and just because its not explicitly a networking function doesn't mean that that activity doesn't occur to a sizable degree. ive met several friends at bars when bands were playing.

also youre acting as if you can't find other things to be interested in. i dont think that you have to have music preferences in common or whatever other criteria you listened to be friends with some one but lets assume that you did. are you not in control of your personal tastes and preferences? don't you choose them to a certain extent? if you really wanted to have more friends, then you would find something that interests you that you could connect with other people on.

the fact of the matter is is that this is just an a posteriori justification for not having a good social experience and not wanting to have that many friends. you either value having friends or you dont. if you do, your tastes will accommodate to get you that outcome.

no kitsch end it AUGHHH it came out so beautifully with that last adb post

[QUOTE=kitsch;18789951]what the fuck is up with accusations of autism

It's not really a fad. People call Brent autistic because of his complete lack of empathy, narrow interests and failure to understand social interaction. People call EMH autistic because he admits he is. No one else is ever accused of being autistic seriously.
