Woo! It’s Friday again!

Going out for dinner and/or drinks, street festivals/special events that take over part of an area, which are more social activities rather than leisurely.

There has always been some sort of a premium involved, and anything “free” is seriously overcrowded.

I’ve made the move from the big city to a smaller one and it’s been much less stressful, with cheaper rent being very enticing as well.

While there is some degree of car dependency involved, there isn’t a lot of long drives needed to get anywhere, really, with traffic being much lighter than what I’m used to.

I doubt that rents will fall all that much outside of the big cities. Unfortunately, the cities have also become more of a playground for the wealthy, wealthy people in denial (children of homeowners that will receive assistance to join the property market), and a home for the unhoused and people in precarious living situations.

If you’re not in either ends of the social classes, there isn’t as much of an incentive to remain, since most leisurely activities and meeting areas are crowded, behind an expensive paywall (if not at the gate, then the activities themselves), or they’re outside the city anyways.

Finally, a universal care plan for the masses!

This feels soooo relatable :3

Can’t forget ads for legal firms about all of the above, too!

Amazing- I’m still watching through the MLP (G4) series and now I’m inclined to print and hang this up somewhere

This post provides a bit of levity for me despite everything around being a dumpster fire.

Definitely a good reminder to take things one day at a time, and to hopefully make it to Friday again.

Frequent lurker here, I just have such a hard time getting my thoughts out into words that’s relevant to a conversation. Add in an irrational amount of aversion to negative feedback (real or perceived) and it just feels better to just keep scrolling.

One day I’ll get better at this, it’s not easy when my socializing experience has been dominated with negativity both online and offline.
