[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children) Why are you friends with douchebags? I'm not trying to be snarky, I am genuinely interested permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com [S] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) I have a douchebag friend. We have a lot in common. We're both like playing pinball. We both get migraines, and we both have chronic pain. Both have families that we love a lot. We're both older and retired. I genuinely like him. He posts a lot of shit on Facebook "owning" liberals. I don't think it suits him, but I think he's caught up in the moment, and I think his pain and migraines get to him a bit. I believe he's too good a man to stay on this track, and I'm going to be there when he realizes it. And I'll give him a hug and tell him I understand. My sister has a childhood best friend that she had been through everything with, including him coming out as gay, and in her 50s her friend started supporting Trump. Again, I don't think it suits him, he's a sweet guy, but she just quit a relationship of 40 years because of that. We gotta look inside people. They have s lot of reasons for what they do. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago He's a good guy to me, actually a decent friend. Willing to help whenever etc, never met someone like him. We just have very different opinions and a different response to what bothers us haha permalink fedilink source parent
