This is true, and I think we have yet to fully reckon with what "permanent" means with "low context".

I'm a bit of a troll/shock that says outlandish shit, so I'm deeply appreciative of my core group of friends. I grew up shocking and making them laugh, but breaking out is really hit or miss.

The sad thing is that once you get your tribe established, then this environment makes it too hard and costly to try to expand it. The fortunate side effect of this is then developing deeper relationships with existing friends.
