I don’t mean banter or just shooting the shit. but discussions or talking with friends about things in your life, or theirs… ya know, showing an interest in someone’s life because they matter to you or them having an interest in your life because you matter to them?

    Yesterday. As a matter of fact quite often, I’ve found wonderful people to have deep conversations about our projects for our lives, about politics, science… you name it. And of all places, in VR Chat. It’s the new third place, a forum to gather without the economical pressure of consuming.

      Being freeware helps, I like to join bar maps and just talk to randos sometimes but right now it’s all about the Fish! map. It’s basically VR Webfishing.

    Over the weekend.

    I don’t see small talk or whatever as a sign of a lack of interest in someone. Sometimes there’s nothing that deep going on to talk about.

    In the summer when we see each other more at least weekly.

    In the winter it is a lot more hibernating and activities of daily living so less frequently.

    When is the last time you had actual conversations with friends?

    I gave up on that a long time ago because as it turned out the answer to the modified question was never.

    If you count spouses, about an hour ago. If not, the last time was on Sunday. We were talking about my friend’s journey to becoming a commercial pilot, and my other friend’s small business. This was in-between turns playing D&D.
