Omegle

Now and then I hang out on Omegle for a little bit.
Aside from the unsurprising inquiries about the details of my pubic hair, I have had some really cool conversations about things like the existence of a god, giving advice about meeting girls, international relations.

It's interesting (to me) because, well, who would think it possible to strike up a rich, and sometimes emotionally intimate, conversation with a stranger from a random place in the world?

Maybe it is the anonymity, there is nothing to lose in revealing one's self, only an upside. It is reasonably safe so long as no one takes offense over being disconnected suddenly. Sometimes the stranger at the other end wants to extend this little connection into another arena like email or IM. I have (mostly) resisted doing so. That would end the who idea of chatting with a random stranger, wouldn't it? Actually I have given out my email address twice. But no one has actually used the address to contact me.
