    The reason there were mountain men in the old days is that they appreciated nature and they didn’t feel alone though they often were. It’s not that hard to rekindle that feeling you only have to work at it a little. I was taking walks in the woods back when I was in grade school and I seldom feel alone though it’s harder to feel like that in a city.

      This would work approximately as well as all the current apps. The people you want to date are either already in relationships, date without using the apps, aren’t dating right now, or simply don’t want to date you because you aren’t their type or aren’t good enough for them. The idea that the evil corporations know exactly who your perfect match is and are keeping them from you is a fantasy. The fact is, dating apps don’t work for most people because most people don’t put the effort in to present themselves well and put themselves out there.

    My shitpost response is that I personally plan to be sluttier.

    My serious response is that social media needs to be more social.
    I hate Facebook because it’s just an advertising platform, but I don’t know what is going on if I avoid it. I wish there was a way to just share social calendars with all my friends. Like - I want a group tracker that one-click adds stuff that I find interesting. I want to only see stuff certain folks have added to their tracker, and have the ability to share with folks what stuff I’m sharing to share, vs what I’m sharing because I’m actually going to attend something. Make it easy to connect with folks, not advertisers.

      Then make it. Everyone fucking hates Facebook, the time is now!

      Also, I’m totally on board with the slut strategy. From a utilitarian perspective, I’m making the world a better place one orgasm at a time

    One night a week of mandatory, free, tabletop RPGs hosted in libraries, council buildings, etc. D&D (or even a good roleplaying game) for everyone! Player groups are mixed up every two months to ensure multiple opportunities for bonding with new people.

  • Step 1

    • Demolish all housing - everyone is homeless now

    Step 2

    • Mandate that everyone design their own silly costume - this is all you’re allowed to wear

    Step 3

    • Legalize and subsidize all the fun drugs - everyone gets a weekly allowance of shrooms, ecstasy, etc

    Step 4

    • Loneliness is officially replaced with several other problems

    I began offering weekly board game gatherings and dinners for the public, and, aside from the rocky start (no one at the first 2 events), every gathering has always gotten a minimum of 3-8 people here in West Allis, WI!

    I’ve been using this website in conjunction with a Facebook group: https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn

    Increase taxes on places that sell take home alcohol and decrease tax on alcohol sold from licenced venues.

    It should be cheap to go out.

    For starters, Ubi, and then expansive and free public transit for all and accessible for all including disabled people, more free places to just go and exist, no facism and more community. That’s just for the beginning though
