- Retr0id 11mo agoThey are two different situations but why is the distinction meaningful here? I rarely even remember the venue of most conversations, just that it happened.
- Forgeties79 11mo agoBecause for a lot of us it’s hard to imagine finding a half dozen or so people who can talk in person like that outside of a conference or workplace. Discord facilitates that because it assembles people based on interests and such. You’re just going to more easily have that kind of conversation than you would “out in the real world.” My guess is they are functionally saying “this probably happened on discord if anybody is wondering how this is even possible and not made up for effect” but I might be interpreting too much
- setopt 11mo agoWell it’s not so far fetched if the friends are people you studied with and have common interests with, but don’t currently work together with. I have good friends that love to discuss highly technical topics over a beer or whiskey.
- Forgeties79 11mo agoMy friends and I share interests but they can’t all talk about the relative pros/cons of full frame vs. cropped sensors in digital cinema with me. That’s kind of the framing here if that makes sense. We share a lot of interest and can talk in depth about certain topics, but there are plenty of topics that I am interested in or just know a lot more about that none of them can really discuss with me, so I have to find those communities elsewhere
