i get it. maybe not for the same reasons? it's interesting to see what people are actually like up close when you just hang out with them, especially when you only encounter them when they're acting as the messengers of their ideology online or as subjects of someone else's writing. just hanging out and talking to them to see what people are really like is what some journalists do i guess.
No yeah it's literally exactly this. I just want to talk to people, you know, I want to get to know people.

I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as
I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.
