Yeah I live like 45min from work and town and never have to charge outside of home unless I’m on a road trip.

Hmm well I can’t speak for Europe, but plenty of chill people to go hiking with in the US, plus it might not be the most challenging stuff maybe but I’ve hiked out of the grand canyon with my friends 70 yo grandma so if you want the social aspect you can still do challenging things just maybe go a little slower. Also again don’t know about Europe but there are like five weekly board game meetups in my decent sized city.

Well what defines going out? There are plenty of board game meet ups, even if you don’t especially like board games I would posit that it’s not an objectively negative experience; so if you must hold you nose and go anyway, do so.

Secondly, although this is coming from my experience in America, so your millage may vary, there’s tons of outdoor activities and groups: go for a hike, go backpacking.

You don’t need special equipment, you don’t need to buy anything. Just a water bottle, backpack, tent/tarp, and some non perishable foods and you’re good to go.

It’s true that the convenient third places of yesterday have seemingly vanished; but people are still out there.

Honestly so happy I’m married, I’m sorry for all of y’all. Dystopian times.

But hey to add my two cents: I think that fear is marketable, so women are over fed on paranoia.

At the same time, porn and propaganda have put bad expectations in some percentile of dumb men.

Both sexes are generally out of social practice, and societal trust is at an all time low. Most people are nice, but most people are also awkward.

So get out there and meet some people, don’t even do so romantically, just go learn how to interact with people, form some friendships.

Pizza has been added to the list! There seem to be some city festivals in Central Park on the weekend— and awesome for the discounted tickets was interested but wasn’t sure about $200 tickets but day of discount sounds perfect since I’m not picky about which show per se! Thanks a bunch!

True true yeah don’t expect to see everything. I guess narrowing my interests:

• technical museums
• history
• food
• above all socializing, I have a hope that unlike the suburban life in my state there are still dens of humanity where people talk to each other and have spirited debates in the public square so perhaps bars? But not the loud sports kind.

And thanks! Was considering listing interests but was worried about missing out on things I didn’t yet know I had an interest in.

Awesome thank you!

To stand in front of it I need to know where it is— can you point me in that direction?

The electrical college is truly a shocking way to run a country in the 21st century.

Update: for now it seems duck duck go’s date range filter is kinda a magic bullet for this type of thing. Set the range between 2010 and 2020 and the top results for a lot of temporally agnostic searches.
