Edit : Just to clear up some shit I do have IRL friends its just that moving around coupled with the fact that I don’t have Instagram or Snapchat has made me lose a lot of contacts and the ones that are left aren’t always available which is quite understandable as we all have our own shit to deal with and sometimes when their free I’m not etc .

There are no respectable chatroom anywhere on the internet that I can find (I have not checked discord which is said to have some but I’m not going to check it and I’m not hopeful as it is the only place I haven’t checked yet.).

My interests are just movies and TV, music etc but we can talk about anything . Don’t DM if your a creep or some shit .I didn’t know where else to post this and hope it is OK I’m just tired of the forum format and wanna have a more connected conversation . That’s about it .

Like its not even easy to make friends on Lemmy we just have fun in a thread and move on like each experience or fun we had is in a capsule and can’t get out of it . Its true for real life too I guess we meet people become friends and then move on because life gets and then you look back and see they were always temporary and was there because you and they were there at the same place at the same time and was never meant to be . like how 99% of people replying and I will not be in touch when this post becomes 2 days old .

Idk why I wrote the last sentence out maybe because I moved to another state and had some friends in the flat I lived and now that I have moved back (we all split to our own state after the study I was the last one to reach there I only stayed there for two months while there were there for 9 months or so) we have minimal to no contacts .

    You want me to DM? Ok hergoes:

    You enter a dimly lit cavern and come across a mysterious hooded figure. Without warning he throws back his hood and draws a massive curved sword. Roll for initiative.

    Another reply as a public conversation starter: I find that most modern movies are too formulaic and predictable. What are your suggestions for movies that really aren’t?

      Nihil sub sole novum

      It helps me to focus on the things a movie does right, even if other parts are lackluster. For example the Star Wars sequels were abysmal in terms of dialogue and plot development, but the music and choreography was amazing.

      Modern ones ? Probably some A24 ones but they are just so and so and not something I would recommend as must watch or anything but they do tend to get not formulaic . Unpredictable ? I would need some time to think lol.

        Saint Maud and Lamb were…interesting. Saint Maud I could actually watch again. Also, The Witch is in my top 10.

    Have you got your fill of DMs yet?

    Speaking of making a lasting connection, lately I’ve been thinking about taking up pen pal-ing (I guess we just call that letter writing) again. But I just really like stationary and reading and writing off of paper

                It’s harder but it’s possible. I’ve never done it in a place like lemmy because, like you said, we have a good time in this thread then get in with our lives.

                But I have had friendships with people from smaller communities, like those on forums - where you have maybe 20 regulars and however many other people who drop in and out over the months and years.

                I actually did make some friends from reddit, because I joined a weekly book club someone started on there.

                Anyway, there are ways.

    I might. Creeping through your comment history doesn’t reveal any red flags, so here’s the next test:
    What’s your most controversial opinion?

    Derp, it’s you. We’re already in the same matrix chat, lol.

    How about we start that public CasualConversation chat I suggested a while back? I was going to take the initiative on that one, but then I… uh… didn’t.
