it's a shame that the SA podcast is apparently bad and hosted a goon everyone hates, because i wouldn't mind a podcast on SA ~lore~. from failed goon projects and bizarre drama, to actual influence on culture and real life events, there's a lot to talk about! the key would be to have fun with it, not make it a somber documentary series or whatever.
oriously bad poster Guy Mann as a creator.
tbf the same 3-10 goon stories have been telephoned and told a bazillion times that goons have ruined even goon lore. I do t even think it’s that interesting anymore. lol remember that time a goon eyeballed phenezepam and order a grand piano off eBay???? remember the time that killary Clinton ordered the goon fleet mod to be annihilated into smithereens??

anyways if you wan, there is the pyf saga thread but you just need to Adblock every terrible gibbis poster so it’s readable

has anyone tried to reenact a historical thread yet? like not taking drugs and buying a piano but just getting people to make a thread and comment while pretending to be the posters who did it 15 years ago. that would be incredibly stupid.

Was just listening to the latest Chapo, and the "it'll happen when you stop caring about it happening" is probably the most comically bad dating advice that I frequently see given. I completely stopped caring about anything related to dating like 10 years ago and it's only resulted in me never dating anyone. It's not like people just randomly show interest in you as an adult; most people at work apparently thought I was married until I mentioned otherwise (because that's the default assumption about an adult who look doesn't look bad and isn't looking for a relationship - "not eager to date" just sends the message that you're already in a relationship, or otherwise not interested in one). Back when I was younger and anxious/desperate about it constantly I at least had a bunch of women as friends/acquaintances and a few became interested in me, even if it was never anyone I was also attracted to.

IMO what people are mistaken about when they give this advice is that you will meet people when you're happy, and this just happens to coincide with not being unhappy about being single. It's not the "not caring about dating" part that does it, but the "having such a good life that you're still happy even without dating (which usually involves having a good job/money, and is why you usually see this advice given by people who are well off themselves)."

Entirely correct, not sure why people are giving you a hard time. I only met my partner when I both got over the idea that dating was the be-all end-all to solving my problems, and then applied myself to meeting someone.

The social fabric of north america is torn up, tatters. The 3rd places are vanishingly scarce. The meet cutes of day to day life are few and far between. "Don't care about dating / It'll just happen" was good advice before the age of loneliness, but not anymore.

quote:

Atalay reports that, between 2003 and 2019, people spent an increasing amount of time alone. Over this 16-year period, the portion of free time people spent alone increased, on average, from 43.5 percent to 48.7 percent, representing an increase of over 5 percentage points. Then, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the share of time that individuals spent in solitude increased, on average, to over half of their free time (50.7 percent).

The author found that the post-2003 increases in alone time are more pronounced for individuals with low socioeconomic status — specifically, individuals without a college education, those who are non-White, and those from lower-income households. In 2003, for example, individuals who never attended college spent slightly less time alone, on average, than individuals who did (42.9 percent versus 43.9 percent). However, by 2019, time alone among individuals who never attended college was, on average, 4.7 percentage points higher than for those who did.

Atalay considers the types of interactions that have become less prevalent since 2003. Mirroring the overall increase in time spent alone, the fraction of free time spent with other individuals from other households decreased on average, from 21.9 percent in 2003 to 17.3 percent in 2019, representing a 4.6 percentage point decline. (In the first year of the pandemic, this fraction declined even further, falling sharply to an average of 12.3 percent.) Although all demographic groups saw a decline in time spent with individuals outside of the home, the greatest declines were among people who never attended college, were from low-income households, and were non-White. According to Atalay, the downward trends in time spent with others outside of the home “portend a deterioration in social ties.”

What accounts for the observed increase in solitude? The change in the amount of time alone, Atalay finds, is mostly attributable to the shift toward spending more time alone on leisure activities at home — that is, at the expense of leisure time spent outside of the home and with other people. He reported that all demographic groups spent more of their leisure activity in the home. In particular, he found that people spent more time alone watching television, with especially large increases in television viewing among people who never attended college.
