Is UM the best part of your social life?

[EspaDa]

I live way out in the woods so I don't exactly have a social life.

This isn't exactly the friendliest forum I've been on and I'm not super close to anyone on here (admittedly I am in love with no country, but he rebuffs all my advances). Still I'm grateful to this forum and the metal community in general for exposing me to some contrarian views on life. Where else would you ever find someone like Death Delirium?

He has disappeared btw. I worry about him.

 

[Baroque]

Nahhh

It fills some lulls though, and some luls

Most of you that are still around are pretty cool

He's still around with a new name

Shake it off and dance to the rhythm, you got to get out of the woods and in the clear.

Would you stick a pencil up your butt for UM? Would you murder a family member? Would you choo on yo poo?

The one thing I like here is the ability to say outlandish shit without coming off as an asshole but just a person. Everyday people say and think crazy shit all the time we just censor ourselves a lot irl. I think people usually show their true self here and that's cool. I met a few people here and all have been cool.

I never censor myself in real life, which is probably why my social life in real life is almost nonexistent. That and I'm very introverted.

You people in these Metal rooms, are highly intelligent, and the best fucking arguers Ive come across.

While I wouldn't call it that per se, it's definitely refreshing to speak to people who are knowledgeable about this genre and have some experience with it. That's a luxury I don't have in my day-to-day interactions with anyone in real life.

I like it here because facebook won't let me call people faggots anymore and on UM it's par for the course.

I've also made some friends, and I do refer to those I add on social media IRL sometimes like 'my friend so and so'. But I've always preferred cyber socialization, it's at my own pace and I don't have to go to your stupid ass birthday parties.

Exactly.

I have to censor myself or else I'd just lose my job. Most people in real life aggravate me to some degree, none of them are usually my metal friends. I'd say they rarely annoy me, but we tend to socialize in bursts because they are just as antisocial as I am. It rules.

Oh at work, I misunderstood.

I don't even hold back at work but that's because I work for myself and I do construction jobs usually surrounded by very boorish people, even the women. Women on construction jobs are hilarious.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Haha, you probably have tons and tons of great stories to tell. I can only imagine. That's awesome. I love hot messes.

One time I worked on this huge property with a black woman from America and she was easily the most hilarious person I have ever met.
The type of person that in another life was probably a really gritty comedian.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Black people tend to make fun of (and exaggerate) situational things a lot, and yeah I think that shit is hilarious too.

Her life story was insane, it didn't even sound real it sounded like a movie.

Her fiance was killed by a stray bullet where they lived in Detroit while she was pregnant with their kid, she decided to go to school and learn a trade and started her own entrepreneur business which had her travelling all over the world working large jobs as a contractor. I think she's in China these days and after Australia she lived in New Zealand.

She was one of those people who don't really seem to exist anymore, those been through Hell and now nothing bothers me types. She used to make amazing hoppin' john and bring it to work.

This for me. I really just wish I could call people out on their stupidity and ignorance/arrogance and get away with it. Instead, I spend an hour crafting an email that won't hurt someone's feelings or paint me as a perpetual dickhead. Corporate America sucks sometimes

 

[no country for old wainds]

the trick is to be a complete asshole about everybody except the person you're actually talking to at the time.

Is this why you excel at being a convenience store clerk (serious statement)?

 

[no country for old wainds]
