I am willing to bet you've only spoken to less than 10 people who you call friends in the last 7 days. Family doesn't count.

- TeMPOraL 12y agoWhat do you call as "spoken"? Does IRC count? If so, than yes, I did. I would have spoken to all of them face-to-face, but I missed last social gathering we have because I'm working on my thesis. Does IMs like Hangouts/Facebook Messenger count? If yes, then again, I did. If they don't count, then please explain to me the qualitative difference between talking on IM, texting, talking on the phone, e-mailing, writing letters and speaking face to face as form of thought exchange. EDIT: now that I think about this... I guess instead of writing this comment I should have just taken your bet :).

- frostmatthew 12y agoAssuming for a second we mean friend the way you're thinking why does it matter how frequently or recently he spoke with anyone he considers a friend? Are you telling me you have people you no longer consider a friend because you haven't chatted with them in X days? More importantly though is that when people refer to Facebook "friends" they're using Facebook's noun for a connection. I'm sure it wouldn't bother you if he said he had 500 followers on Twitter, or was connected to 500 people on LinkedIn.
