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"
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 know how you all feel about ChatGPT but I was curious if the robots would understand how silly this post was. It delivered.
When your post is so vapid that you get roasted by an LLM.
So there is a real world use case for chatgpt, roasting LinkedIn bros.
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.
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?

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.
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?
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.
If I have to explain to anyone that genocide is wrong and that human rights are good. Or if I find someone votes to promote genocide or reduce human rights. Then they are not my friend.
I might try to talk in good faith to them, I might attempt to negotiate with them, i might even exchange pleasantries with them. But they will never have my full confidence.
I do not have to "get along" with a fascist.
"Conflicting political views" doesn't necessarily mean "fascist". I don't understand why this topic always causes such misunderstandings. This is something I also noticed when I made a thread on the Fediverse community asking about possible advantages or disadvantages about the mostly limited range of views on Lemmy. Some users replied in a similar fashion. Maybe it's just a deliberate exaggeration, i don't know.
If you haven't noticed the USA is in the middle of a fascist auto-coup.
So it's not exaggeration. I've had to cut ties with members of my family. Because they believe some people are sub humans that don't deserve rights or that regions of the globe should be purged.
Politics usually aren't as polarised as in the USA
I don't have any first hand experience outside of the USA. But from global news it sounds like this is a global trend in places like germany, France, Italy, most of south america, Africa, and Asia too.
Maybe I should say that you should align with friends based on your moral principles rather than politics.

Full agreement but I will say as a syndicalist it's been good for me to be friends with progressive liberals and some more authoritarian and central planning communists. We all want the same thing: a better society that's less oppressive and fairer. We each can help each other see flaws in our ideas and figure out how to advance things.
Fascism should be always off the table. But single party approaches are extremely self destructive
Hey if this gets more men to make actual meaningful friendships instead of succumbing to the roganverse I'm all for it.
What if we just don't like any of you? Lol
Define "we".
All of us.
Launched into the sun.
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.
Diamond Dogs?
Diamond Dogs! 💎🐶🐶🐶
Woof!
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.
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.
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!

I was so close to going on a rant
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
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

Is this for his AA meetings? Because it sounds kinda fire for that.
Pretty sad really, just like in general.
If only everyone's friends were like this.
So a support group?
I'll start our group, you pick up the other 2 men/women/etc.
My goals:
- Doomscroll no less than 5 hours a day.
- Post one shitpost and one 196 post every day.
- Install Arch once a month.
- Compliment a furry or trans every day.

It's really sad because that's exactly what this is. He really doesn't know this is what friend groups are.
