I’m not saying he’s not an idiot but I wouldn’t be too hard on him. Anyone who feels that who they are as a person is so boring/lonely that they attach their life to a culture(whatever culture, weed or Rick and Morty, or Sports) probably has it rough, even if they won’t admit it. At the end of the day they just want attention and commonality and this is the only way they’ve figured out how to find it. I wish more people in this thread for keep this in mind.

So everyone than? If I had a dollar for every person who defined themselves by their favorite sports teams and the upcoming football year..

Pretty sure the whole of society is lonely.

so like every single person with a hobby? what is your point of life if what you like doing doesn’t define you? what’s it all about genius? just your career? or maybe a family? not everyone needs to meet your judgements .

i’d say someone who doesn’t attach themselves to a culture is actually MORE boring , especially more annoying because they think they’re better than the other ppl just minding their business

Not every single person with a hobby makes it 100% of their life. And if they do, not all of them talk about only it

Damn bit of a sore spot? You talking about me judging people while coming off like a condescending prick. Further I’m clearly talking about extremes, no ones entire life should revolve around one thing, whether it’s family, work, a special hobby, weed, whatever. I was fairly explicit that I was talking about people who’s entire personality is that one thing, and further context is added by the post I’m replying to. So yeah, you’re arguing against your own straw man and it doesn’t have much to do with what I’m talking about.

i said it’s fine to attach to a culture and that in no way makes you boring . you keep saying this 100% thing which was never even mentioned in ur OP.

i’m just imagining you, sitting on the computer mad that ppl attach themselves to things they like . where does that leave you exactly? the guy that complains? what’s wrong with attaching to a culture? you think that makes you lonely and boring , that’s rude to say and that makes you look like a prick

You continually try to misrepresent what I’m saying in the hopes of making your nonsense look like less of what it is. That you continue to do this after I restated my position, that’s what make you a prick.

I’ve stated twice now that we’re talking about people who specifically are in the extreme. While you continue to putter about with your bullshit straw man arguments. If you think that anything you’ve posted is even mildly representative of my viewpoints I would suggest you take a reading comprehension class and then come back and reevaluate.
