    My man, If you need your tastes to be affirmed by some magical numbers, then I don’t know what to tell you.

      The magic numbers are helpful to give you insight you missed something. I hated The Thin Red Line initially (I expected an action movie) but gave it a 2nd shot when I saw the high reviews. Enjoyed it more the 2nd watch.

      It’s not about affirmation, it’s about feeling connected to some parts or the human race. Mostly people who are simular to ourselves. When you meet your friends, you probably discuss things you all like. Its universal.

      We feel what we feel and we look for others to feel the same. Not affirm it, but to not feel alone in our feelings.

        It’s both. The old motherly advice “if your friends jumped off a bridge would you too?” still applies. Everything is intertwined.

          Well yeah, I dont do anything my friends say. We often have different opinions about things too. But its how you deal with that. Some people fight over different opinions (common on Lemmy). Others have their own opinion without needing others to agree, and still remain friends anyway.

      You must be great at parties :p

      Sometimes it’s just fun to have someone that agrees with your opinion.
