    Go to college. Take 1 class. Find a community. Find a different one. Or another different one. Find people you like who like you.

      Go to college. Take 1 class.

      I’m finishing my third degree this semester lol.

      Find a community. Find a different one. Or another different one. Find people you like who like you.

      Okay but first I need to get money to eat, sleep, exist, etc. without being harassed by the cops, because all resources are paywalled.

          Jesus. What good are free communities if they are forced to spend their waking hours trying to earn money to exist?

          Time is a commodity. Energy is a commodity. Going places and meeting people costs time and energy they don’t have to spend.

              In an equitable world, where we had either some form of UBI or shared the means of production and had leisure time to enjoy, it wouldn’t be a thing. Spend time at home recharging, go outside and meet people. Go online and meet people. Join community events and do things that interest you and relationships will naturally bloom as a result.

              Since we live in Hell? I have no idea. You tell me.

          I live an hour away from my school. Can’t afford gas or public transit. So no, I really couldn’t do any extracurriculars.
