  1. Just one thing I learned in years: INTERNET friendships are not real friendships.

    1. @astralboy They involve less emotional investment and can disappear in an instant.

      1. @takebatcaveakenji @astralboy There's always something about IRL friendships that are harder to break off vs internet "friends".  But when it breaks, it can hit really hard.

        1. @normandy @takekiwiakenji  I always viewed it like "it doesn't need to be this way so maybe this time will be different" but it never is.

            1. @takemangoakenji @normandy I'm subscribed but when they didn't pronounce Sartre the right way I almost deleted my google account. (kidding)

            2. @takecherryakenji @normandy  This is one of the best channels I've found recently, if you skip the theology stuff. https://goo.gl/hEzycg

              1. @takeFluffle Puffakenji @normandy But I think you may like Kurzgesagt more, if you prefer stuff like The School of Life.

                1. @astralboy @normandy I've been subscribed for a while, after learning about them from CGP Grey.

                  1. @takekiwiakenji @normandy That's another good channel!

                    1. @astralboy @normandy Tom Scott is pretty interesting, as is Computerphile.  I watch some of Numberphile, too, but that doesn't interest me as much.

                      1. @takekiwiakenji @normandy I'm the other way around. Numberphile > Computerphile.

                        1. @astralboy @takebananaakenji There's some other channels run by the same guy like Periodic Videos and Sixty Symbols.

                          1. @normandy @astralboy I'm a fan of Periodic Videos.  I also listened to Hello Internet for a while, but I found myself not relating to it after a while.

                            1. @takepapayaakenji @astralboy I haven't really listened to podcasts as of late. Perhaps.my attention span has decreased as of late.

                              1. @normandy @astralboy I use them as background noise, like a radio or television.

                                1. @takemangoakenji @normandy I always wanted to do that but it just becomes annoying after a while.

                                2. @takecherryakenji @normandy The only background noise I can endure is minimal/ambient music or something.

                                  1. @astralboy @normandy I need something to drown out the car traffic on the arterial I live on.
