I’m always surprised when it happens. 99% of the time I’m just tolerated, but every once in a while someone asks. Happened last night. I was sooooooooo happy.

Would it be possible to make an adaptor between CLAP and VST?
I gotta find a way to signal to people that I love hearing their infodumps
I just gotta find a better phrase that won’t make me look like a coprophile
I find that asking specific, pointed, open-ended questions over time usually gets people to open up. “You said, blah-blah, can you explain that more? I’m not familiar.” and just listen.
I go with “I love listening to people talk passionately about their special interests”.
Yeah, same. I used infodump because that’s the jargon around here.
Hey I think ive seen your hinge profile
what an incredibly weird and uncomfy thing of you to say. i’ve never installed that dating app before…
haha, sorry if it made you uncomfortable! It’s a really common cue on a lot of profiles 😅 So many people use the apps now you just get used to the idea that everyone knows
Oh, okay, that makes more sense.
I mean, I think a lot of the dating app culture stuff stays way more local. I’m in Australia so the stuff you commonly see is gonna be different.
I met a guy at a bar one night who was just starting his studies in cyber security. I’ve been doing it for years now and he was excited to hear all of my experiences, good and bad.
We entered a few CTFs together, but I’m not usually on the offensive side so he carried me a bit in the early challenges and we had to tap out when we got to the harder ones.
I haven’t seen him in a while. I should text him.

I find that texting someone something positive is usually well received. “Hey, person, been a while. I was telling someone about that fun time at blah-blah and it reminded me of you. how are things?”
Infodump WH40K lore on me all you want. It’s better than actually playing the game.
Haha, agreed. I love hearing my friends talk about it. I do not enjoy the game.
Me when someone asks me to tell/teach them about one of my special interests…
Me: For real‽
Them: Yep
Me: But like, how much do you want to know?
Them: Everything
Me: Even if it’s a lot of information and takes an hour?
Them: Yes
Me: And you’ll stop me if it’s too much?
Them: Yep, I’ll stop you if it’s too much.
Me: 😮 hold on. let me think…ok… 😮💨 …so…non-stop talking for an hour possibly using props and a board/paper for illustrations. several related tangential topics come up and added to a list of topics to discuss later.
