    I hope this is “Hey babe I’m back from my hunting trip early, wanna grab some grub at our favorite place”, and not “yeah my profile showed a suit, but I always have to be ready when outside in case something kicks off, ya know”

    Assuming someone is lonely because they’re alone the one time you encountered them is dumb.

        Ya I’m aware. The joke also says that it’s sad for someone to eat alone. Do you think I’m responding to that or the camo?

          It’s a joke with a weak setup, not a social commentary about loneliness. Pointing out the setup is not factually correct is like pointing out horses don’t go to bars.

            The joke is both, and I gave it as much attention as I care which is one sentence. Horses don’t go to bars but people do eat alone and some people do find that sad, so I don’t see the comparison.

      I’ve tried explaining this to my wife but she doesn’t get it, because when she is alone she is lonely. When I’m alone I’m fine, I enjoy the moment or free time or however it unfolds.

      She used to try to preset get together time with friends for me if she was out of town. Lol. Imma be fine. Movies, books, poetry, artwork, call a friend from 20 years ago, sleep,take hikes, sit on porch with cofeee watching leaves blow in the wind…etc

        Call a friend from 20 years ago

        Are you sure you actually enjoy your alone time? Because that sounds like what an extrovert would say!

          Lol. I don’t call people often. But when I have free time I sometimes think I should reconnect, however that is rare because I end up doing other things than phone calls.

          Just saw my bestman from my wedding after not seeing him in 30 years. I should try harder to connect with others 😀

      It’s a lady eating alone with a piece of bread floating in space. Presume they photoshoped out another person as there is a table setting there and the floating bread makes no sense. Might be an AI slop edit.

        Thanks a lot, but I still have no idea what is going on. I can see a blond woman and a soldier at the table in the back eating together and a cut away person with a red jacket at the front. I can not see a floating bread and also no floating beard (the post title and the other comment are talking about beards, you about bread). Am I stupid?

          If you look REALLY CLOSE you can actually see a floating beard. This implies that she might not actually be eating alone and instead there might be someone else at the table.

          proof

            Pretty sure that’s just a smudge on the wall. Beards need the air to be way thicker than what’s comfortable for dining to float.

            Also if you stare long enough, you can make out a pair of sunglasses floating in the air. Some real spooky shit going on in this photo.

          Yes, you are. Hope this helps.

          spoiler

          The camouflage pattern soldiers wear is made so they become nearly invisible in the forrest. However, it is easily visible in urban areas, meaning there is no real reason to wear it. To make fun of people wearing camouflage in areas where it does not hide you, the internet has a longstanding joke, acting like it makes you invisible wherever you are.
