I remember before the plague it became fashionable to talk about "having your personal advisory board". It was just a friend group for socially stunted MBAs.

I see it as symptomatic of something worse: the tendency to monetize, advertise, and exploit everything that you are. For anyone willing to go hard enough on those ideals, it's (theoretically) possible to achieve more income. The thing that's keeping the rest of us from doing this are opposing ideals like privacy, quality of life, respecting boundaries, and healthy relationships.
I don’t know how you all feel about ChatGPT but I was curious if the robots would understand how silly this post was. It delivered.
The fourth point "okay, first meeting. Let's talk about death, aliens and your ex" actually sounds like riveting conversation
Hey, I'm game. Sounds fun.
Also: should there be a "AI writing prompts" community?
This is really good. I'm impressed.
When your post is so vapid that you get roasted by an LLM.
OpenAI fed this thing a steady diet of internet forums as training data. You'd better believe that it knows how to verbally destroy anything and everything, at every conceivable level of sass and/or vitriol.
So there is a real world use case for chatgpt, roasting LinkedIn bros.
Diamond Dogs?
Diamond Dogs! 💎🐶🐶🐶
Woof!
Hey if this gets more men to make actual meaningful friendships instead of succumbing to the roganverse I'm all for it.

Is this for his AA meetings? Because it sounds kinda fire for that.
Ngl I read this as a positive thing at first
Like friendships should be about creating a safe space where people can talk about sensitive subjects without being judged. A lot of toxic masculinity influencers keep saying that men shouldn't have feelings, men should just bottle it up, etc. and that's just not a good and healthy mindset.
Then I realized this was on linkedin lol
Let's synergize and offer value-added guidence with some D&D.
it's called a wargaming teambuilding exercise
Let's share each other's emotions and experiences of the week while drinking beers.
What a novel idea, let's call it "Happy Hour"
Men need to start forming cute groups of 4-5 where
- no clothing is off limits
- the goal is to give headpats
- each person is accountable to their goals (:3)
- the group helps strategize a roadmap for the person to live into their fursona
Do people really do headpats? Those are just uncomfortable. Petting is much preferred. Group massages were the best part about running cross country in high school.
They could make some shitty startup named BroBar that creates public places where the atmosphere is chill, beer is served, and where you could find people for your "core group". Maybe even play some pool.
I was so close to going on a rant
But first of all, you have to think about the monitarization and scalability! Make it a subscription service! And you need an app to track your ~~pay slaves~~ customers! And you need merch! This "friendship"-business model must be profitable!

Would be a nice place for 30-50 hogs to hang out.
A very large urinal?
The sink you're allowed to piss in.
This sounds like the guy who suggested "virgin edibles" as an idea worth trying out.
Or, to rephrase it, "food."
Fuck, imagine if someone ONLY ate edibles for all their nutrition needs
I don't think this is bad advice. However I don't think that it should be limited to just men.
Also I think the group should align politically and be able to support each other in solidarity. They could also use meeting time to plan resistance to fascist regimes.
However there are quite a few people (I am mostly thinking of men I know) that tend to isolate themselves from friends when they need help the most or once they get into a romantic relationship. This is probably not just a men's issue however.
Do, uh... Do i know you?
No, he's isolated right now.
Cut it off after the first 2 points and it sounds ideal.
A bunch of 4-5 guy friends who are open to talk about anything with the motivation being to get a better understanding.......where do I sign up?
Create the group chat and send an inv
Here's a telegram group I've just made:
https://t.me/+3a653HYGjSc5YWU8
Could go for Discord if there's more interest in that.
I don't have Telegram and I'm in the process of abandoning Discord 🤪
Telegram requires a phone number...? Bah
Create the group chat and send an inv
Also I think the group should align politically
I think it's best if people get along well with each other despite possible conflicting political views.

Hey, if that’s what it takes for Nathanael to have some human interaction, I’m cool with it. I don’t necessarily want to be involved, but I’m not against it.
I propose adding "dressing up in leather" and "worshipping the devil" to this list; Just to make it spicy.
