also if you want 5 minutes of my time you can basically just ask me the question
if you ask me an interesting question i'll likely give you more than 10-20 minutes of my time unintentionally
but if you need to ask for 5 mins I don't trust you sorry
think about your question

it's a lemon market problem – I'm sure some people asking for 5 minutes are just sort of awkward nerds trying to be respectful, but the most common 5 mins asks IME are sleazy salesman types, and fuck those guys

also a thing that happens as you get "bigger" is... weird social prestige stuff? some people seem to want facetime because they think the facetime is intrinsically valuable somehow. "i wanna meet you someday" oh why? "to ask you stuff" you can ask me now! I prob alr have a thread
but it's not that they want an answer to a question per se, it's that they want to hang out. but... I don't really wanna hang out with anyone. I hardly even hang out enough with my wife. I'm not even really fun to hang out with, I'm always spacing out

like why would you wanna "just hang out" with this guy. unless we are both sitting quietly reading or something idk. I do have one friend i kinda wanna do that with but we've been tweeting each other for years now

boy I just went on a total tangent from sahil's tweet to just talk about my own shit huh. yea that's a thing that happens with me too
basically if u realllllyy wanna hang out we gotta be like mutuals for 2-3 years or otherwise have dozens of positive twitter exchanges or otherwise at least one Really Good Conversation
it doesn't really feel like a choice on my part, it seems to kind of happens when it "should"

some might think that's snobby or something but I literally reply to thousands of DMs and have given strangers like years of my life at this point. it's a weird thing to talk out loud about. I imagine past a certain threshold ppl stop talking about it and smile/laugh/platitudes
