Not sure why you’d want to.

No. This place is for serious discussion of facts and ideas only. Everybody stop having fun and being friendly.

Don’t do that

It’s a worldwide site with a sort of small user base, anything is possible but it seems a long shot compared to going outside or talking to your friends, networking, dating sites, pretty much anything local seems a better chance.

I feel this. I heard staments voice when he was recording a video of his cat and was instantly crushing.

Maybe, but Lemmy is such a small service that the chances of there being someone using Lemmy, sharing your interests, being compatible with your sexuality, being single, and is somewhere reasonably close to you, is pretty damn low.

Yes. Hi this is your friendly neighborhood Nigerian Prince. I am having a little bit of political troubles and I require your assistance. Plz send 500 bitcoins, and when I secure my kingdom, I will repay you 10x. XOXO 🤗

No. Impossible. Not even Nicole, the Polish chick from Toronto, has responded to my dick pics.

Possible does not mean probable, so yes, it’s possible, but don’t hold your breath.

I mean anything is POSSIBLE. People meet and date and even get married from online communications all the time.

I think the ratio is a bit skewed heavily towards 20something guys. So maybe if that’s your thing? Idk I’ve had some good exchanges with folks but that’s about it for me.

I know reddit sucks and all but check out if your local cities have subreddits or if there are any similar groups on other platforms, usually they are at least somewhat active and always have meetups or groups on other platforms such as discord going or whatever else, people there tend to be sociable in person and still understand internet culture. there are a few of such lemmy communities but not nearly as much as reddit at the moment, that could also be a opportunity for y’all btw if you start your own.

“Is it possible to find a friend or partner…” No. And the explanation is simple: it’s not possible to find what doesn’t exist, and friendships and romances don’t exist.

They’re two of the ultimate mundane illusions. Lies engineered to keep the horse chasing the carrot hanging from its own head. And even if the horse wakes up to the realization that the carrot isn’t even real (it’s just a trick from its head), it can’t simply stop, because it got an indifferent limbic system, a biologically pre-programmed set of instructions compelling the horse to continue the pointless chasing.

Even when (if) Sisyphus come to the realization that the boulder inexorably rolls down and trying to roll it up is pointless, Sisyphus will continue rolling it up because it’s the only thing his gray matter knows, just lies and illusions: the illusion that he, the boulder and the hill somehow “exist” in some kind of “existence”, and the lie that there’s some kind of global maxima, the lie that enough pushing-the-boulder-up will eventually meet the desired equilibrium, some stasis.

And even if there were any existence and there were any “up there” at the hill he was compelled to be, even if he reached the top of the hill, what then? Will Sisyphus pat himself on his own back, congratulating and praising himself for getting the boulder to roll all the way to the top? Maybe there are other Sisypha up there who’ll give him a medal or something…

And the medal will inexorably oxidize and rust, their bodies will eventually decay and the boulder will crumble into dust due to the weather elements… And the hill will undergo erosion, thus making (what’s left of) the boulder to roll downhill, alongside the fossilized skull and bones from all the Sisypha up there.

And no one will remember them because there’ll be no one existing to remember what supposedly existed: not even the hill or the Pale Blue Dot where the hill once was, a planet long since engulfed by a giant red Sun, which in turn ended up obliterated during a collision with former rogue stars from what used to be Andromeda galaxy merging with what used to be the Milky Way galaxy: used to be because, now, every quantum particle is ripped apart due to how the fabric of spacetime continuum is now infinitely stretched, the Big Rip.

And, if we consider that the Sisyphean boulder got equilibrium, it means that all energetic transformations across the cosmos also have their point of equilibrium, and this means that there’s now this cosmic stasis where no energetic transformation happens anymore, the Big Freeze.

In the end, the existent aspect of things, if any, is this: they’re lies, it’s all illusory. There’s nothing, not even the nothingness. It’s just illusory electric signals processed by the illusory brain.

If this is your only option for socialization… then something is wrong with your life, please do something before settling on this den of shut-ins and literal children.

Lol, no. Only enemies and maybe some okay-ish people.
