    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.
