Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID?

  Everything there involves spending money

  Almost all the good socialization has become commercialized. There’s no town square anymore, it’s turned into a Walmart.

    And not even a 24 hour Walmart.

      I think that’s a big point, hardly anything is open late anymore. Seems like the world stops at 10PM these days and everything has to shut down then.

        Yeah, many places that shortened hours during covid have not resumed their BC hours.

        Which i get, finding and keeping workers to work those odd hours can be hard and it is nice to get out of work at decent times if you do work at one of those places… besides bars if ur over 21or movies, i cant think of annother place to go when it gets late

    Libraries still exist! They have activities every single day!

  Late 30’s. I don’t always spend money when I go out and if I do have to spend its usually on cheap public transit to get somewhere else. I often leave the house and just walk around town. Good exercise and I’m not always stuck at home driving my cat bonkers.

  Games are a scam too.

    If you buy the ones with paid dlc/season passes/microtransactions, yes. You have to use your powers of observation and critical thinking and buy the complete games instead.

    Some are, and some aren’t. 100 dollars with bg3 gets you 100 plus hours of enjoyment. That is < 1 dollar / hour. That is value. I am still playing Skyrim after 10+ years and it was 60 bucks. I have 1000+ hours in it. Worth.
