Most third places have either disappeared, or been replaced with ones that you can only really enjoy if you’re able to spend money every time you go there (e.g. bars, theaters, cafes, clubs, etc).
Many small towns are only getting smaller, leaving people that still live in them with less and less people to talk to.
Economic circumstances are consistently getting worse across the board, meaning people are spending more time at work just to stay alive, rather than being able to easily arrange to spend time somewhere with people.
It’s not like it’s impossible, obviously, but the state of the world is actively discouraging prosocial behavior through both cost and just circumstance.
Humans elected trump, and are just the worst. This isn’t even new information. The old phrase in the 1970s was “people suck”. Probably some old classic car that still has that bumper sticker somewhere.
Lordy. Just put your phone down go outside and just interact with humans.
If only it were that easy.

“Humans” didn’t elect trump, US-Americans did.
A heavily gerrymandered, politically censored, brainwashed, religious, and impoverished populace elected Trump.
Nah I’m good thanks. I don’t even want to talk to an AI.
Now going outside and befriending some small creature, or hugging a few trees? That sounds nice.
That does sound nice.
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod @THX1138 yes PLZ #hugtree and post pic :D
Humans aren’t much better sometimes.
Gotta watch this film again.
I don’t really want those people talking to me.
