@crable replied to your post “Do you like this game, Frank? I made myself laugh with my letters tonight. (We were trying a new house rule where you pull 8...”

I’m not sure I understand how you came to that conclusion. Would be interested to see how you might play scrabble, though.

One of my favorite things about scrabble is that, because it makes use of only five letter tiles, there are a lot of words you can make if you know other words' "scrabble class." So like, "honestly" can be a word, but so can "jehovah," "japhet" (it's in there, in at least some English dictionary), etc.

I played scrabble, but I wasn't any good at it, and so my brain kept inventing new words just to make it harder to say "dick." And I was never good enough at saying "dick" not to be bad at the game – and so I got bored and quit. (Although, because the letters aren't limited, this can happen in, say, the standard 5-letter game as well – just I tend to find the same-letter words a lot more fun to say.)

(My brain was also doing a lot of "well, that word is funny, but if I say it out loud, then the other people would laugh" thing which I find very annoying and thus have a bias against, so I tend to leave these words to my less annoying-in-the-minds-of-other-players friends)

Hi, Frank! Since we’ve never met before I thought this would be a good question to ask:

What do you think is the best way to make a new friend?

I would say that the way you get friends is by joining clubs and getting involved in things.

One of the big problems for me with starting new social groups at the moment is that there's a lot of stuff going on that I'm interested in but that's mostly not going to be part of anyone else's club. So I have a hard time joining club stuff (see: the "just go be one of the normal people" advice).

It's been true for a while, though. If you're a naturally gregarious person and you spend a lot of time hanging out with others, you will have a lot of friends by the time you're 18 (or even younger). If you're shy and/or anxious about making friends, it might take a bit longer, but I think you can do it.

It'll depend on your personality and stuff like that, but I found a really simple recipe for making friends as a teenager and it works for me:

Spend time alone

Find someone you like, and ask them to hang out with you sometime

Spend time alone with that person

As part of this, say a lot of dumb things/pretend to be funny/ask your friend stupid questions

See if they laugh and say "No, I love it when you do that"

I believe the guy from that last post is the main actor from The Night Of (decent HBO miniseries that came out this summer). :)

I’ll add that to my watchlist! He’s in the new stars as well right? Might have to actually start watching those films too...
