My two friends are cats :)
It's a chat with your friend and his friend, who you don't really like, but for some reason have to see whenever you see your friend because now it's become the thing you do.
Is this person 20 years older than their pfp implies? I'm 35 and have been in group chats with friends since the mIRC days in 2003.
They're faking. Everybody knows after 35 "a group chat" is where your surviving family shares fascist memes.
Yep. Luckily my family will only use Facebook and I'm the crazy tin foil hat wearing uncle preaching everyone's after your data.
Pretty sure their pfp is young Natalie Portman…
Lies, but that is the dream.
Do you mean IRC?
My friends are imaginary and they still don't know each other.
Group chats are the thing where you can post links in teams meetings.
it’s kinda like a more informal email that you do with your “pleasure/utility friends” (to quote aristotle’s theory of friendship 🤓).
pleasure/utility friends
What in tarnation are those descriptors
the basic idea (as i understand it, but it’s been a while) is as follows. “pleasure friends” are friends that you only do certain (fun) things with, and the friendship is likely to die once either of you stop doing those things. for example, a friend that you only play video games with, or only go to bars with, etc. if you lose interest in a game, the friendship may be over, and it’s usually not a big deal when it happens.
“utility friends” are similar, but instead of doing fun stuff together, it’s more about doing useful things. maybe an example could be friends that you only really study with. they’re probably pleasant to be around, but the main reason you spend time together is that they make studying easier (and hopefully it’s mutually beneficial, but it doesn’t have to be).
the last and hitherto unmentioned group of friends are the “real friendships” or something like that. these are the people that you care about on a deeper level, and who play more prominent roles in many different areas of your life, or something.
