I jokingly asked my wife if she’d go to basically church but reading from Marx instead and despite neither of us being marxists it actually sounded like something we’d go to
But also seriously look into if you have a local community center or library and what events they host. Stuff like that often struggles to find attendees

Everywhere I’ve lived in the US has had plenty of public parks. As a teenager I’d hang out with my friends in them. Hell I’ve been to big community picnics at a park.
The thing is it’s easier to hang out online all the time and people aren’t looking to socialize at parks when there aren’t events.

Idk but I like it. We never should’ve let the Dutch take it from us (they’re who the English got early typewriters from)

Decorating your home is more than self care, it’s an extension of personal style that applies to when you hsve friends and potential partners in your home.
I think using the term self care will really backfire with someone like oop, as it has a connotation of giving yourself a break, when my intentions were more to say that if you want a family or people in your life you need to live a life that fosters such things.

- Fair, I actually generally prefer a more minimalist approach, though I’ve found some art makes my home more inviting to myself and to guests. I prefer local art I pick up at community events, though making it yourself would be cool af
- Nah, most of my clothes come from a thrift store or swap meets. It’s about understanding what looks good on you and aiming for that. Learning to alter your clothes would also help with this
- There are non comsumptive things. Volunteer at food not bombs or a books to prisoners community. Get involved in your local leftist scene. Hit up a park you haven’t recently. Go for a hike.
- If you aren’t happy with how you’re living your life yes. If you like where your life is and are comfortable with that having been how you lived it, see my first paragraph of my previous comment and ask yourself why you care what advice some lady on the internet gives
- No, you lesrn to speak to people and make friends whether you want you contribute to our great imperial society or tear it down. Staying in all day alone isn’t a great act of rebellion it’s neutral sad.
If you stay at home all day, alone with bare walls and clothes that don’t express yourself or make you look good, never doing anything interesting or speaking to people, you finding friends and a partner as an adult are unlikely.

Make steps towards the life you want. I know that sounds big and scary but it’s small things and doesn’t have to (and shouldn’t) be all at once.
- Comment on Anon checks up on a childhood friend 6 days ago:
Yeah bro, how you spend your days is how you spend your life.
Clean and decorate your home. Develop a sense of style. Go out and do things and meet people. Challenge yourself to do something interesting every week. Talk to people, get out of your shell.
Sincerely, the first of her childhood friend group to get married

People have been retreating inwards for a while. The rise of smartphones and the pandemic were major leaps in it but it’s kept increasing.
It hasn’t been good for me as an extrovert and I think it’s gone terribly for everyone. You may not like small talk with people you see around but it makes you feel not alone

If all these things are replaced so people can spend more time with each other instead of working then I’ll gladly take it, but if it’s just for profit throw it out.
Though driverless trains I’ll take on purely financial grounds, should save up money for trains to keep coming after last call so the drunks can ride home safe

It was Montana westward past Yellowstone. I spent my life in the loving embrace of just west of the Appalachians and so I thought that since I’ve done my share of driving through Kentucky it would be bad but bearable. Then it started snowing at waist height in late spring. I wasn’t prepared for that.
