Apparently an unpopular opinion on Lemmy, but it's actually nice to have friends and socialize.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Having friends and socializing is fun, but I don't necessarily want to do it for 5 consecutive hours. Even at a party, it's nice to take a break and let my mind rest for a bit.

Nah, you see stuff like this because it's counter to a lot of people. Noisy wheel etc. I like socializing with friends, but also have a limited social battery. Geberally that just means I don't attend things I don't want to, but there have been times where circumstance has put me in situations that I could identify with the comic.

Still, a comic that's just a straight portrayal of people enjoying normal stuff isn't going to get much traction or be interesting, which is why you'll see stuff like this more. It isn't a representative of the actual whole sample of people here, it's just the more unique post that will get attention from people who don't feel as noticed or understood in their real life.

It is good to satisfy your values with friendship and ponies.

Yeah but people with friends who socialize don't have time to post memes... Unless they don't have a 8@5 obligation.

Black cats are the last ones to be adopted from shelters. If you want a cat, check out the black ones at your local shelter.

In the US, may want to wait until Halloween is over. Many shelters won't allow them for a period of time due to high return rate or risk of abuse. Btw, void kitties are some of the best kitties!

I have a fully white and a fully black cat and the black one is definitely the more purr-heavy

Embrace the void.

I'm a black tux dude myself, but the CDS gave me a dilute calico tux last time I went to the shelter. I didn't have much choice in the matter she chose me the moment I walked in the door.

She's the only person on that party worth talking too...

Dog also works well. Then, when it's time to hit the 'ole dusty trail, skip saying farewell to those you know with the trusty "Irish goodbye".

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

If you say goodbye to the cat, it's a Tokyo sayonara.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

If you French kiss the cat as a farewell, thats a San Diego depart.

Good ol French exit

"it's better than an Irish hello. Cause that's a car bomb."

Cats are awesome, no doubt! And I totally get the appeal of chilling with a furry friend over small talk. But here's a thought: people who want to get to know you are pretty cool too.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that other humans aren't just NPCs in our personal storyline. They've got their own complex lives, hopes, dreams, and probably some wild stories to share if we give them a chance.Getting to know both the cats AND the people (and dogs too!) can really enrich your life. Each interaction, whether it's with a purring kitty or a fellow partygoer, adds a little something to who you are. So maybe try not to avoid either?

(Unless you're allergic, of course. Then by all means, stick to the non-sneezy option!)

I wish that was me and a dog
