As someone who has never used social media, I found it really strange yesterday when some people asked me if I wanted to go to this place that was 1.5 hours away and

and when we got there. We got out of the vehicle and they took pictures for 10 minutes or less, then we got back in the vehicle, left to a place in the opposite direction we came from the was another 1.5 hours past our starting destination (so a 3 hour drive) to, again, get out of the vehicle take pictures for 10 minutes and when they wanted to leave this time I said we should stay and at least do something. So we stayed at the second place for about an hour.

Two days before that some girls invited me to go out with them to swim at a pool and go to a bar afterwards. The only fun that really happened at the bar was when they wanted to film some quick videos to upload to social media. They weren't interacting in any meaningful way the rest of the night.

This is stupid. If you are doing this or see someone doing it. You stop it. Or tell them to stop it.

Get a life.

[X] Doubt.

It's 2025.

People are far more socially segregated than this now. Maybe in 2010, why not?
But today?
Yeah, I don't buy it.

[ - ] iThinkiShitYourself [op] 0 points 1 monthMar 7, 2025 01:36:27 ago (+0/-0)

what don't you buy? are you a chatbot?

[ - ] Indoctrinated_USA 1 point 1 monthMar 7, 2025 01:51:42 ago (+1/-0)*

Yeah faggot, I'm a chatbot.

It's not at all unusual that someone would organically find themselves in an environment wherein sudden and unforeseen invitations from relative strangers are proffered with such frequency that the same type of experience occurred two times in three days.

I served, was in a greek letter fraternity, and participated in minor collegiate athletics - all of which are objectively considered hyper-social communities; and I'm saying that in my direct lived experience, this kind of thing doesn't just happen.

As a general rule, like attracts like in such environments; always has.

The situations illustrated by OP resemble those of a high school foreign exchange student or a teen comedy - not lived moments of a cultural native.

That you don't understand that implies bad faith; are you an alt, perhaps just a troll?

high school foreign exchange student

no idea, but if you are trying to spy on my IP address, thinking you found out something secret, i'm using a vpn. and the rest of your post is stupid nonsense that i don't even know how to respond to.

like attracts like in such environments

you're saying I do the same thing as the people in the OP, therefore the events in the OP didn't happen? how does that make sense? maybe you're really angry and trying to force some reaction? either way, you're an IRL NPC or a real NPC

[ - ] Indoctrinated_USA 1 point 1 monthMar 7, 2025 02:06:09 ago (+1/-0)

The fuck?

Why would I care about your IP address?
I'm saying you're a paranoid faggot; I don't care who you are.
I'm saying the story sounds like attention seeking bullshit.
I'm also saying that Upgoat is social media.

[ - ] iThinkiShitYourself [op] 0 points 1 monthMar 7, 2025 03:31:55 ago (+0/-0)

Ok, then yeah. Your whole comment was nonsensical and I'm blocking you for being a chatbot or IRL NPC

Not my fault, or problem, that you're too stupid to follow.

Giving the internet to the unwashed masses was stupid.

Imagine socializing with normie scum.

[ - ] PotatoWhisperer2 1 point 1 monthMar 5, 2025 20:47:18 ago (+1/-0)

When I was young, and didn't have much choice, I enjoyed confusing them. You could get them to believe anything within a few minutes, so long as it wasn't directly against their firmware. That was before the internet though, so it's a bit more difficult now.

This is social media lol

lol like wow. i literally like couldn't tell the difference. it's literally the same exponential thing! lol omg literally!!!!

This post is really incomprehensible. Are you speaking about two different events? I want to stop people from making unintelligible posts. I get that youre trying to punctuate the uselessness of whatever it was you were doing but its just confusing. Btw this is social media

[ - ] iThinkiShitYourself [op] 1 point 1 monthMar 7, 2025 01:34:23 ago (+1/-0)

you need to read better. there is a clear separation of words via a new paragraph and the new paragraph's first words are "Two days before that".

My guess as to what happened here is you had a strong emotional reaction to this post (probably having been found out, as a social media user doing the same thing, thinking no one could guess you were doing something so stupid combined with the fact that you have a harassment plan at-the-ready to stop anyone from exposing you), and it scrambled your brains that someone outed this stupid behavior. just a guess.

[ - ] iThinkiShitYourself [op] 1 point 1 monthMar 7, 2025 01:51:41 ago (+1/-0)

and if you're talking about this
from the was another 1.5 hours

you simply need to change "the" to "that", which is an extremely common autocorrect error on phones, especially with gesture typing (which you're too much of a normie to even know what that is).

think better.

I always forget to take pictures and my social media is lacking because I actually live my life and don't give a shit what people think I'm up to.

[ - ] Leveraction 2 points 1 monthMar 5, 2025 12:53:58 ago (+2/-0)

Not on social media either. The whackjobs that are,have no life and their biggest goal in life is to show their friends and family how exciting their "no life" is by posting fake pics. They live in an alternate reality. They're unable to socialize in person and hide behind their screens. Pretty sad shit I'd say.

[ - ] DivineLight2 2 points 1 monthMar 5, 2025 12:14:18 ago (+2/-0)

Women need the dopamine rush from likes on socials and they need to one up their "friends".

Soys are the same. Probably driven by estrogen and being a retard.

[ - ] Imsickofmakingusernames 1 point 1 monthMar 5, 2025 15:00:20 ago (+1/-0)

Social media is a fake world full of empty people. It has always mirrored the real world. Even before the overt narcissism the depth of conversation was always the same…. It’s supposed to rain later today… muh sports ball team scored… look at muh kids 5000 photos… someone cut me off on the way to the store…

Nigger have you ever wondered about something fucking interesting even once in your existence????

[ - ] PostWallHelena -1 points 1 monthMar 5, 2025 15:39:11 ago (+2/-3)

You are using social media right now. You get a dopamine rush from exchanging retorts with other goats. Clearly much of the back and forth here is testosterone driven. “ oh but its different when its us!” Come on.

[ - ] big_fat_dangus 2 points 1 monthMar 5, 2025 16:01:53 ago (+2/-0)

There's no implication of spending time together irl here.

You somehow missed the entire point of the OP completely. Outstanding.

[ - ] iThinkiShitYourself [op] 1 point 1 monthMar 7, 2025 01:55:07 ago (+1/-0)

she's coping hard. read my comments here https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=67c86ca27daa4&commentid=67c8b74d47b0c

and i wrote a few more in the comment thread that are worth looking for. she's clearly emotionally distraught for being found out about her activities on social media, as described in the OP and is trying to run interference but she has nothing to harass us with or blackmail us with like she would do to anyone who exposed her IRL. BAHAHHAHAHAHA

[ - ] PostWallHelena -1 points 1 monthMar 5, 2025 16:26:12 ago (+1/-2)

If I missed the point, its because its a badly written post.

ITS ONLY SOCIAL MEDIA IF I MIGHT HANG OUT WITH YOU IRL!!!!🤤

Gee i didn’t realize that was a criterion of SM.

[ - ] big_fat_dangus 2 points 1 monthMar 5, 2025 17:00:18 ago (+2/-0)

You missed the point because you're a midwit who doesn't pay attention.

OP's grief is about social media use interfering with traditional IRL hangout, during traditional IRL hangout. Social media use on its own is a different issue.

[ - ] iThinkiShitYourself [op] 1 point 1 monthMar 7, 2025 01:53:12 ago (+1/-0)

PLEASE GIVE ME A PASS TO DO MY CONTEMPTIBLE BULLSHIT ON FAKEBOOK!!!!! D****:

cope harder.

[ - ] iThinkiShitYourself [op] 1 point 1 monthMar 7, 2025 01:56:12 ago (+1/-0)

its because its a badly written post.

you were badly taught how to read and understand things.

obtain better literacy skills.

and get a life you lifeless loser. and no you may not submit your fakebook profile as proof that you have a life

holy shit guys, helen's post here is cope as fuck @Imsickofmakingusernames @DivineLight2

look at her unknowingly admit her brain got knocked silly by admitting she does what is described in the OP.

https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=67c86ca27daa4&commentid=67c8b74d47b0c
here is what she wrote in case she decides to delete it

she is coping HARD.

the fact that @PostWallHelena is trying to equate any human interaction at all with being "social media" is triply admitting that she is on the defensive about doing this on her own social media. this is why i post these types of things online. I even started the trend of posting my L's for applying for CS jobs at the very beginning of the scamdemic and I never saw a SINGLE post online about how hard it was to get a CS job - just social engineering marketing threads banking on white men having too much pride to admit they "weren't making in this meritocracy we've always had" even though we don't, didn't and will never live in a meritocracy, and that line of reasoning is only ever used to gaslight white males into accepted defeat, but i digress. PostWallHelena is the cringelord described in the OP. she's trying to act like the term social media wasn't invented to describe fakebook and the like - NO ONE EVER described forums as social media prior to the attention-seeking/women-friendly/prostitute-friendly social media platforms like fakebook, the dating app known as instagram, shitTok, and whatever other goyim harvesting apps/sites are out there (normies are too retarded to use sites)

No link to the pics? Fuck you, op. You're a tease.

Explain the part where you decided to go with them on this photo tour.

OP is a foid

[ - ] iThinkiShitYourself [op] 1 point 1 monthMar 7, 2025 01:29:55 ago (+1/-0)

i originally got in the vehicle because they said "hey, we're going here today. want to come?"

and i thought it was going to be a normal trip to that spot for a few hours and then something else or go home.

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 1 monthMar 7, 2025 16:55:36 ago (+0/-0)

The part where they're only at some location to take photos sounds unenjoyable, and it's strange they didn't tell you. As for the 'taking photos/video' part, I watch some 1st amendment auditors whose goal is to exercise 1st amendment rights by taking photos and video in a public location. (sidewalk, post office, public building) Interesting to watch responses and interactions, but would be boring af to be there with them.

Accepting random invitations from social media people will at least get you a variety of experiences. And it sounds like you're doing okay for yourself if random girls are asking you to come with them.

THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE ME HAVING FUN. (for 45 seconds at a time, the rest of the night I will be in the corner)

[ - ] Bonlio99 0 points 1 monthMar 5, 2025 11:52:57 ago (+1/-1)

Um…when you take photos you should direct them to do something fun and outrageous. The fact that it was boring kind of says that you are boring.
Make things fun. Don’t wait for other people to drag it out of you

Every word of this made perfect sense. Thank you for your service.
