The man

Gotta love a good broad st line pic. Sadly those cars are a lot smokier these days.
Could have been a compliment. You are not an intellectual yet, but you wanna educate yourself. Nothing wrong with that.
This is exactly my initial interpretation too.
Fake: somebody spoke to anon
Gay: anon daydreams about a man in the shower
Must have run into a random Epicurean
*nervously upvotes out of fear of looking stupid*
Incidentally, best way to deal with Epicureans! Smile awkwardly and exeunt whenever possible!
Fake: anon left the house
Gay: anon is flirting with men
“Hey, there, hunka’-hunka’, wanna go somewhere more private so I can show you my Ancient Greeks?😏😏”
Full disclosure, I’m a barely-social straight guy, I wouldn’t know flirting if it cracked my teeth with a piece of wood.
I’m a lesbian and I’ve seen guys bag each other flirting on that level
Well, tbf, this’d work on me as well should a flame of the womanly persuasion present it to me (alongside explicit stipulations that “I do, indeed, want you for the sex, Mr. Bond,” signed in triplicate)
I’m married and straight.
It doesn’t get better.
So it’s all just… sexy goofy sarcasm? Oh, crap. I’ve been doing that for a llllooooong, long time without realising it might be interpreted as flirting.
You know, some people would consider that flirting. Also, wear a mouthguard, I guess.
For the right person, I’d splurge on the dental work!=))
in other words:

How could I judge if Plato is relevant or not without reading it?
Sounds like a philosophical question.
learning about Plato from what books he wrote. is like learning about the world from watching shadows within a cave
If I were in that situation, I think an acceptable retort would be to hold up the drumstick of chicken I am munching on, and dramatically say ‘Behold, a man!’ then take a bite and totally ignore the random infatnilizing philosophy try hard as I go back to reading.
Maybe also, after a 30 to 60 second pause, nonchalantly ask if he happens to have any hemlock sauce, just to try to get a rise out of him.
Must be a Matt Neal fan
Obviously encountered a believer in metaphysical immanence on the subway
There’s assholes everywhere kiddo
