    Apparently an unpopular opinion on Lemmy, but it’s actually nice to have friends and socialize.

      Having friends and socializing is fun, but I don’t necessarily want to do it for 5 consecutive hours. Even at a party, it’s nice to take a break and let my mind rest for a bit.

      Nah, you see stuff like this because it’s counter to a lot of people. Noisy wheel etc. I like socializing with friends, but also have a limited social battery. Geberally that just means I don’t attend things I don’t want to, but there have been times where circumstance has put me in situations that I could identify with the comic.

      Still, a comic that’s just a straight portrayal of people enjoying normal stuff isn’t going to get much traction or be interesting, which is why you’ll see stuff like this more. It isn’t a representative of the actual whole sample of people here, it’s just the more unique post that will get attention from people who don’t feel as noticed or understood in their real life.

      It is good to satisfy your values with friendship and ponies.

    Black cats are the last ones to be adopted from shelters. If you want a cat, check out the black ones at your local shelter.

      I’m a black tux dude myself, but the CDS gave me a dilute calico tux last time I went to the shelter. I didn’t have much choice in the matter she chose me the moment I walked in the door.

      In the US, may want to wait until Halloween is over. Many shelters won’t allow them for a period of time due to high return rate or risk of abuse. Btw, void kitties are some of the best kitties!

        I have a fully white and a fully black cat and the black one is definitely the more purr-heavy

    why would she go to the part in the first place? i mean, i go to parties because i’m not an anxiety ridden social introvert, but it seems like if you’re one of those weirdos you would just stay at home and play with your own cat.

    EDIT: yes downvoters, i realize i struck a nerve with my logic. sorry about your fee fees.

    Dog also works well. Then, when it’s time to hit the 'ole dusty trail, skip saying farewell to those you know with the trusty “Irish goodbye”.
