I saw your face in a crowded place

  I was at a party once, a little drunk, told a girl I was psychic and could guess her name. I thought it would be a good icebreaker, we would laugh at me guessing wrong etc.

  I got it right. She thought I was a stalker or something and told all her friends to stay away from me.

  Good times.

    I had an obscure/rare name tattooed on my arm. I was at a place and this girl called out to her friend, and it was the rare name.

    So I moved over to them slowly so as not to make it obvious and mid convo I said hey are you (name), she was like yeah? And I raised my sleeve. Her seing her rare name as a tattoo…the shock and stuff , her face was priceless.

  My name used to be Rachel but they made it illegal in my country after the Friends finale so I had to change it to Dave. It doesn’t really suit me but it’s nice whenever I introduce myself people are like “wow. Dave, that’s such a unique name”. I’ve only ever met one other Dave in my life and he was a total loser like me so we hit it off pretty well and got married 6 days ago at a Asian grocery store in The Dominican Republic.

  I hope I meet another Dave one day so I can marry him too. I’ve considered changing my name back to Rachel since it doesn’t seem to be illegal anymore but you know that name just doesn’t suit me as well as Dave.

    This sounds like the kind of almost close-to-reality story an AI would tell

      It makes me sad that we have reached a point where the very randomness that makes these kinds of stories charming (to someone with a twisted sense of humor like myself) also make them less likely to be coming from a human instead of more.

      I have a note against their user, “Absurdist”. I don’t know whether they’re using an LLM to generate these, and, to be honest, I was somewhat iritated by them at first, but I’ve come to enjoy their occasional bouts of weirdness in random threads.

      Honestly I miss early AI.

      I miss the ugly art. I miss the weird tangents. I miss Will Smith eating spaghetti and consuming himself.

      I know you can set up a quick AI to relive this… But it was better when it was the norm.

    This reads like something Chris Simpsons Artist would say. Back when I used to use Instagram I followed his account and all of his captions were like this. It was great. Glad to see someone on Lemmy writes like him.

  So in high school, I had to drop out my senior year. Rumors get around and I was at one of my best buddies’ birthday party. I’m talking to my ex gf and she’s really down. More than I can reasonably understand. I start prying. She eventually tells me that she used to date someone who looked like me but not also like a skeleton and he just died and talking to me was really harshing her buzz. I gave her the old Forrest Whittaker eye™ and asked her what she thought my name was.

  She spent the next ten minutes excitedly dashing around the party telling everyone and anyone that I was alive, so her shock seemed genuine. I should have asked her how she thought I died.

    American cities have limited local rail networks, at least some. Like New York and Boston and err, the other ones…

    • LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Chicago is fairly well known for having trains as well. That said, I’ve never lived somewhere in the U.S. where you wouldn’t hear train horns at some point usually freight, but transport does happen as well. Dropped someone off at the train station in Nashville so they could go visit family in Michigan a little while back
