Indeed, and he could join in the conversation and have a very nice conversation and make friends. But he is not doing that because he is working.
It is not likely that he would join the conversation if he wasn’t working, as such the joke does not make much sense, but it is definitely something he could do, which could indeed be a nice conversation for the three of them, or it could be terrible for some of them.
I don’t see why you put it down so black and white. Is it prohibited to start a conversation with strangers on public transport? How do you meet people? I often talk to strangers, it’s generally pretty nice.
Granted, the last few years I didn’t take public transport very often: I mostly walk, but when I do I generally start a chat with someone.
At least being young in USA, made friends on public transit!
As with all interactions like that (captive audience essentially), utmost care is required, but want to dissuade notion it’s not possible or not permissible, even in a country with illness & weapons.
Who are you to tell me I just shouldn’t say anything?
Pretending things that either aren’t jokes, or are really dumb jokes… are actually good jokes… is how you get more dumb jokes, and people laughing at things that are not jokes.
The joke is that he wouldn’t be talking to them even if he weren’t doing whatever he’s doing. So yes, the caption is dumb, on purpose, in order to be humorous. I hope the joke is better now I’ve explained it.
Comedy is legal now which means really bad and stupid jokes that only alcoholic bigots would laugh at are funny again.
please please please i wanna be a comedian i want people to think im funny, im so lonely and miserable please ill be happy if you laugh please laugh, goddamnit laugh or ill vote for trump again
They’re having a conversation, he’s working. The caption is dumb.
Yeah, he’s not joining the conversation because he’s working on some open source code. Thats what it says.
He’s not joining the conversation because they’re strangers who just happen to be riding the same public transit as him.

Let me guess… You’re not from USA?

You are correct. I have met plenty nice people in the US though, I had pretty good chats.
But I reckon buses were pretty strange: often people would start screaming stuff while not talking to anyone and keep going for the whole ride.
I’m pretty sure he is debating with someone on github PR/issue thread
No, it says he’s saying something to them. It’s right there.
You’re ruining the joke
was there a joke?
Yep
If you can very easily explain a ‘joke’ with an incredibly common, mundane explanation…
You probably do not have a very good joke.
Gosh, just laugh or give it a ↓ if you don’t like it
No.
I have thoughts, and want to talk about them.
That’s the point of a discussion platform.

Ok then
The joke is that he wouldn’t be talking to them even if he weren’t doing whatever he’s doing. So yes, the caption is dumb, on purpose, in order to be humorous. I hope the joke is better now I’ve explained it.
“I hope we can get into the club.”
“Yeah, it’s going to be packed already, and we’re still 20 minutes away.”
“Since it’s this late already, see if Chris’s after-party’s started yet.”
“Good idea… … The stream is up. Only a few people milling around so far.”
“Soon to be three more.”
“Yeah, skipping club, on to the after party.”
That reads like how a 6th grader thinks adulting works.
ok mr no fun allowed
