    Well to do that all my friends would have to un-OD on heroin lol, the opioid epidemic did a real number on my city. I never did it myself, but for me to invite them over I’d need a shovel or a Ouija Board, and idk who they’d bring but I’m not sure I wanna find out!

    “Damn Steve, when did you become friends with Moloch and Baal? And why’d you bring Ea-Nasir?!”

    My only living in town friend is moving in about a year, too. And if he had anyone he could set me up with I’d know lol, known him for 15yr.

      Yeesh. Sounds like you need a new set of friends or a new town. I wonder how much of the loneliness is down to loads of people living in really sparse areas.

        Yeah well y’know, I work, then I’m too tired to go out, can’t afford bars anymore and if I could I’m still too old for that shit.

        I do go out to some naturey places when the weather permits (of course it’s been hotter than the sun until like this week), but it’s not like a naturey meet up I just smoke weed and read a book next to the creek, and look at frogs and shit.

        Furthermore, I don’t know how these people who say “go to X or Y” even find out that X or Y is happening locally, and where/when. Newspapers? Those still around?

          Local newspapers are still a thing, so are bulletin boards at city hall or whatever cultural center you have. (I’ve seen event listings at bars, libraries, near a fountain, wherever stuff gets hosted)

            Word I’ll look around, thanks. I assumed newspapers was a joke I was making haha, I thought those were dead for that kind of thing by now.
