I was walking through a public cemetary that had a section full of freemasons' symbols, so I looked it up online and was served the freemasons' subreddit. It's got some good stuff.

honestly we need state intervention on the "make new friends as adults" front. I'm talking state backed bowling leagues (and other stuff) that you get paid for attending. Call it a direct investment in the social fabric.

Legitimately the worst thing imaginable

I don't think you need to pay people to attend so much as put in legal third-place protections so they can't be ratfucked into nonexistence by landlords but that'll never happen

I need to make an effort post about how third-spaces were thought up as a concept by a chud boomer. Until then watch this video in the background as you do something else https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8E5MegoW2pA

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

There are a bunch of ways you could do it for sure, the hard part in currently-existing society is giving people more free time without them feeling pressured to use that free time to make money.

it's called joining a communist party

I literally just joined a state sponsored softball league. It's completely free and the city pays for the umpires and parks

I support this.
