Been doing this for a year now and it's LIBERATING. No. Regrets and haven't looked back.

In my personal experience I find women are more willing to do this than straight men. Just putting that out there, and I wonder if anyone else feels the same

Hard to be around people who actively vote away your rights.

There are times I can't tell them that, they're clients where I work, etc, but I will not talk to them. Once they make a comment supporting this trash presidency, small talk stops, I get the job done and dip. Nothing extra, bare minimum. May not even say hi to you when I'm at your office.

Km glad I did find a lot of really cool clients i can commiserate together with.

Otherwise, fuck em all. You voted for a terrible terrible piece of shit that you would not even leave your daughter or wife with. You're a shit person who does not deserve to share the air I breathe.

THAT'S why I've got so few friends! It's my high standards for justice!

Do you need friends? I can make recommendations

I mean honestly if you're in Los Angeles I'd be down for a Lemmy meetup for fun. I did that once with Wikipedians, good times!

I'm not but I would! I want to go to LA again, my aunt lives in Venice Beach so I should probably hit her up. I did a meetup for the world cup and met some really cool people! Unfortunately in your 30s you have to start working for friends, they no longer fall into your lap

That fuck is a zionist and proud, so probably not them if you've got a strong sense of justice https://thelemmy.club/comment/27905541

Well if you do this as a straight white male you lose every straight white male in your life so yeah it can seem daunting lol.

Is that supposed to be a problem?

I'd rather make diverse friends than make a friend with somebody that openly supports Trump and his ilk.

Is it weird that I, a cis & straight presenting, white man, make friends with people outside my demographics? I mean, I do make friends within my demographics, but they are absolutely not Trump supporters.
