  • I’m also in my late 20s, and I’m an immigrant (changed continents)

    When I meet new people, ai usually have a hard time coming up with something to talk about, so I had (still have) a hard time making new friends.

    What helped me was to have continuous contact with people in a focused environment, for example: with around 6 months of office attendance I started warming up to my new colleagues (which eventually became friends), even though we were usually talking about work back then, we started to talk about it less and less up to a point where we don’t even work together anymore, but keep in touch

    I found another of such environments in sports practices as well: don’t want to talk about anything? Fine, let’s just keep this ball rolling back and forth" but then eventually (again after a few months of continuous contact with the same group of people) things started to warm up a little

    So to sum it up I’d say: patience is key, it usually takes a while before prople start to get along well



  • On the risk of looking like a lunatic philosopher, yes, I’d argue that gravity doesn’t exist.

    Even if energy is not manmade, the concept of energy is, or in other words: we invented this concept in order to more easily understand phenomena around us.

    I see a lot of replies saying that “energy is in all things and is immutable”, but we (at least I) can imagine a scenario where someone invents a whole new system to describe nature which might not use the concept of energy at all (or any other concept you choose, such as gravity). The nature can be the same but the way we describe it can vary wildly (more likely beyond human comprehension).
