All our urban planning, architecture etc is modeled around individual isolation. Unless you want to go to a commercially viable social activity like a bar or sports game of course.
i think you’re supposed to go outside, touch grass, and get a hundred ant bites
Don’t forget the mosquitoes!
i may forget the mosquitos, but the mosquitos won’t forget me

We are now living in a society built around individualism and survival of the fittest. There are very few remaining third places and the people are too accustomed to this way of living in order to participate in them. As a consequence, it’s more common than ever for people to have no real friends, especially working adults.
Ya, big cities suck.
Fixed, only two panels needed
I find this version profoundly more thought provoking and fun to engage with.
We’ve forgotton how to live without the digial
Stare into space. Get sheet of paper. Plan life on paper. Execute plan by doing things.
My life plan:
Step 1. Become millionaire.
Step 2. Retire.
Step 3. Get full 8 hours of sleep.
Fun fact: one million dollars is not enough to retire in many parts of the United States.
The classic retirement rule of thumb is the 4% rule: you should be able to spend 4% of your retirement savings per year. The idea is that safe investments can mostly make up for what you spend, and whatever they don’t make up shouldn’t be a problem in your lifetime. If you plan to retire early, maybe shoot for something a bit more conservative, like 3%.
So by the 4% rule, $1MM in retirement savings is like living on $40k per year. Which is moderately comfortable in some parts of the US and poverty in others.
Better shoot for $2MM.

There was a time when I used social media to connect with my real life friends…
Even just using my computer without the internet is a good exercise.
Pick up photography, it’s a great blend of going outside while scratching that digital itch
Specifically macro photography to touch grass in every sense of the word
