    It looks like she’s sitting close to him, but there’s an entire league between them.

    You’re right. He should sit and stare at them instead

    “You’re near a woman and aren’t sexually assaulting them? What are you gay?”

    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.

          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.

        No, it says he’s saying something to them. It’s right there.

    … his priorities are correct.

    Trace his eye vector.

    … yep, that appears to be a North Korean hacker/music/ai-slop group he’s currently looking into.

    How often do you run into that on a metro, as opposed to… some gals going clubbing?

    He’s respecting their privacy in a place where they HAVE to share space with him. Good guy contributor.

    Are you telling me he should be hitting on them in this situation?

    I get the feeling someone’s done their room up to look like a train carriage, and maybe has a very specific fantasy life.

    Maybe they are a thing considering how close he is to her?
