Do you like people?

does this mean you experience and engage with the collective thing as opposed to the annoying individuals?
it's just to say that what's going on when you're with other people you're one component of a larger assemblage and that assemblage generates affects. it's a machine which generates those affects and you can't get to that affect alone. it's the opposite of a transactional take or an individual one.

talking about the assemblage is a way of reframing what the unit is

I think you're quietly the most into D&G out of anyone here.

It’s ok to hate a few, there’s billions of us, one or two who you cross in life will be worthy of it

Decompression from people is half the trick to staying sane personally, as a more serious answer. You don’t need to decompress from a coast unless you can’t swim, do you, just as you don’t decompress from a few days hill walking with insane views

People? Gtfo, I do what I can where possible, leave me alone, don’t want to buy your piece of crap mop or sponsor your cleft lipped donkeys. Work all the hours in a bid to put food on the table and maybe retire early

Main problem with people is there’s enough for everyone but we do like to hoard and cluster as a species. Hence, capitalism and dysfunctional cities, we’re all complicit. Remember Covid hoarders? Eat first, morals later. Look at beaches this summer across Britain if it doesn’t rain again, rammed, every cunt Towie’d up swimming in raw sewage. A paradox

To remain a functioning adult within such contemporary iterations of built environments and their cultures, it’s vital to get away from such sites regularly. More this is repeated the more a certain cloak of tolerance for muppets descends and I include myself in the latter too - more patient marriage, more patient parent, better self-care, still be a shit friend occasionally but who isn’t

Well, this is a very diplomatic thread.

No, of course I don't, most people suck. I reckon 1 in 25 people are sound, you can do away with the rest. Imagine you could just 'disappear' anyone who ever brought a McDonald's meal on board a train, or pushed their trolley right up against the luggage belt in an airport...it isn't hard to do.

Don't know how anyone can talk of socialism or anarchism with a straight face after the Great British Bogroll Grab. Ironically, the only way to achieve true socialism is to band up with a couple of mates and exit society...get the fuck away from people! I'm not saying go full Unabomber, but it helps to keep a healthy distance from people and leave them to brainlessly amble around, coughing Covid, TB, Ebola and monkeypox everywhere, the dirty bastards.

We should go a bit Unabomber, is what I'm taking away from this.

depends on whether they share 24bit/96 khz flac rips of obscure 90s vinyls on soulseek. Then yes 100%. otherwise no.

agree in terms of people in general, but there's a different dynamic when it's a social gathering with a group of acquaintances (not friends), let's say work colleagues, or friends and lots of their friends for someone's birthday bash. you're in a confined space for a reason, and in reality you'd be fine with having a few drinks, doing some harmless chitchat, and leaving after 30 minutes. But you're sort of obligated to "be sociable" and spend the requisite two or three hours. THAT situation can annoy me a lot more than the idiot strangers encountered in public.

Nah, other way round.

My advice is just leave when you want to – guarantee you, someone else there will be dying to leave too, and will nag their SO on the way home, “Did you see, Leo left at 10pm? Why weren’t we straight behind him? I just wasted 2 hours of my life with those idiots talking about chocolate milk, and now we missed the last Crosstown.” Everyone else will probably be too busy gabbing on autopilot to notice you sprinting for the fire exit.

MY problem is I have a few pints and then suddenly become a motormouth and end up staying way beyond my welcome…

I don’t really get others' comments about being bored by friends, though. All my friends are amazing people, and every second spent in their company is a glorious sunshower.

Weirdly enough, I spent last week in Southampton for work, where I met up with people I hadn’t seen since pre-Covid, who I wouldn’t neccesarily consider ‘friends’ – wasn’t looking forward to the trip but found myself enjoying seeing them again and drinking with them ‘til the local bars shut.
