Maybe not those specific examples but I get the intent.

Can't wait to see how all this modern day independence and late stage capitalism plays out

 

[deeman]

You can do all that and still get stabbed in the back, took advantage of, etc.

Its already ugly. When this rugged loner independence paradigm peaks right before the collapse of capitalism, its gonna make people go to support groups like never before.

Is friendship determined by the ability to solicit favors from someone? It's a serious question. Do you guys decide who your friends are by who you can call for favors?

This

I’m not asking friends to help me move specifically so they don’t ask me in return

Maybe depends on what it is

I’ve been tricked many times by friends and family with that shyt. Never again

 

[KRayner]

i don’t expect my friends to help me with stuff

but the real ones will

But that’s part of life and that’s the problem people are trying to completely avoid any connection for fear of being hurt. And then go on to say some catch phrase like “I choose peace” or something.

If you can’t call on your friends for a favor then are that your friends?

Man, listen. Once you hit 30, you're not about to spend your free time on a weekend cooking your back and other joints to help your friends move. I'm more than happy to help them find movers to help them load/unload a U-Haul, though.

Everybody becomes an independent castle of their own. An island in a sea of people....

• Everybody works remotely, while we ship our in-person jobs to third world countries and immigrants.
• People are annoying, so we talk to AI chatbots for companionship
• Tinder is tedious, so women are replaced with VR porn
• The grocery store is stress inducing, so we use apps to deliver our food
• Schooling becomes a solitary engagement facilitated by khan academy or WGU clones
• And Finally, children ae birthed and taken care of by the govt because the young adult population is too busy being childfree and responsibility free to feed another human being
