Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college?

Work and shared hobbies. I recently went to buy some hardwood from a work colleague. We don’t even work the same shift but they’re fond of asking what I’m building or showing me what they’re building because who else are they going to talk to about their hobby (I imagine).
We’re not friends, but there’s this hobby. I get there and it’s not a mere business transaction nor do we talk work. It almost had a kid feel to it. Like when you crossed the hedge to the yard of the kid next door and he welcomes you because it’s more fun if you can show off and share your toys. Only as adults. Kudos on reclaiming a small piece of that.
Adulthood is such a roadblock sometimes.

Being an adult is hard, in so many different ways.
I miss kindergarten.

I love being an adult. It’s amazing.
I absolutely hated Kindergarten.

Sounds exactly like adult life with a job when you phrase it that way.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
as an adult you can choose a job where you don’t have to do that.

At least in Kindergarten I didn’t know they were clueless. Now I’m an adult subjected to their whims and know they’re unstoppable idiots.

who is stopping you from going to the store and buying cookies and juice boxes?

Naps, cookies, juice boxes, why do we ever stop that?

I just woke up from a nap, and now I’m eating cookies. Don’t have any juice boxes on hand tho; a can of cola will have to do.
