Re-read my previous comment.

Ask the people here trying to justify why they go to bars.

100%. Being on my computer so much, I can always appreciate simply being out in nature.

Kind of ironic, because while I’m doing that everyone around me is on their phones.

If you’re not living a boring life, then you should naturally come across plenty of different people with plenty of different opportunities to make connections.

“Meeting people at the grocery store” is a lazy and ignorant excuse to justify going to bars. If you think those are your only two options, then you’re the problem and I pity anyone who gets caught in your web.

What would you recommend instead?

I’m not sure.

Visible is a data plan that offers unlimited data for $25/month. If you pair it with Pandora and Blokada 5, you can get internet radio for free anywhere you have service.

You need to download and install Blokada 5 manually from their website, because screwgle banned the app from its app store for being too effective at blocking ads in apps.

We’re bringing it back.

It defies logic.

Until you realize most people can’t think for themselves and are doing what everyone else is doing.

They don’t even weigh the option of “discord vs. matrix” to them, it’s “discord without question.”

Hell yeah.

I didn’t buy a switch 1 and have no plans on buying a switch 2. Spent many hours playing Smash on Yuzu though!

My last console was a PS3, because that’s the last one that didn’t force me to pay an extra fee to use my own internet connection.

Fuck greed. Fuck useful idiots. Fuck nintendo.

Here’s a VPN that’s available for free and funded by donations.

I’d say they are providing a better service and need money more than mullvad.

For the rest of us with brains, piracy is a tool for the working class to take power away from the ruling class.

And they only do it to maximize profit off of people’s low standards.

It has never been about putting food on the table or keeping the lights on. It’s always been about fleecing idiots with more money than sense.

I absolutely love rubbing it in the face of people subscribing to streaming services that I get more content without even having to enter in my credit card info.

Brains > wallets, every time.

Why the time limit?

Definitely going to avoid it, tired of platforms thinking they deserve exclusivity.

I’m mostly referring to liquor because it’s the most economical way to get drunk.

My local Walmart has a decent selection of beers, but I’ve been to HEBs that have entire sections devoted to craft beers. It may depend on the grocery store in question.

You can still get a better selection at a cheaper price at liquor stores than bars.

I’m experiencing the exact opposite, personally.

My neighbors have been extremely kind and generous, on a level that couldn’t even be dreamed of in the city.

They’ve literally helped me cut my grass on several occasions out of pure kindness because they have a riding mower and I have a push one. And that’s just one family.

My car has also never been broken into after years of living here. In the city, all of my friends’ cars have been broken into.

Doesn’t surprise me that the main thing city people complain about is they need more places to spend their money.

Bar culture is a waste of money anyways.

You can get more variety at a cheaper price from grocery stores. It doesn’t make sense to pay more money to drink at a bar with people who you’re not close enough to visit each other’s homes.

Anyone who spends $7 on a shot when an entire bottle costs $12 isn’t using their brain.

I don’t want to bring kids in this world that will inevitably grow up with a father when I take out all my frustration and grievances on members of the ruling class.

They’re gonna wish I used a guillotine.
