Adding to "find an activity to socialize around," things like martial arts or casual sports leagues are great for this because they have a way out mixing up a group with fairly diverse backgrounds. You could also do something lime Toastmasters for public speaking practice, which helps you express yourself better. None of this had to be an immediate life long commitment, jump around and test out group until you find one that fits your interests.

It wasnt even made explicitly clear until they started quoting Notepad++ Don Ho after 2007, when the real Don Ho passed away.
People can have hobbies that become their full time job, right?
This is the best thing I've read all day.
The internet used to feel like a treasure hunt because it wasn't indexed well, and a large part of the surface content were pages made by oddball people letting their weirdness run wild without social limitations.
Sure, algorithms keep most normies in a social media ecosystem, but it's also not exactly easy for me to make a truly anonymous website about the awesome predictions I've made from looking at the patterns in my breakfast cereal every morning - AND just let it be. There's pressure to promote it, crosspost it, etc. Even the fun of thought experiments posted to a GeoCities page come with risks now.
Maybe I'm jaded and lack the youthful energy to stay up until 4:30am slapping im14amdthisisdeep stuff somewhere. Maybe everyone else that's just slightly weird still expects to get paid for that with ads when it all used to be free and fun.
Small scale: The lack of constant mean pranks. You can't tell me that shitbag kids aren't polyjuicing everyone into dogs and donkeys 20 times a day, and thats the PG version. Ain't no way dudes aren't making their dicks 30 feet long for fun.
Large Scale: Wizarding culture is tremendously trite, shallow, and terrible. They are the worst of humanity with super powers, all because of ...genetics? It's still super privledge eugenics at the end of the day, and Voldemort is just making daylight decisions about everything that the non-DeathEaters blithly comply with every single day.
It's not "falling apart." It's being intentionally dismantled.
Rubio's statement at his conformation hearing was basically "the Post WWII order isn't working for us, so we're ending it."
Hmm.....maybe. Can I make money with auto-generated clickbait headlines?
The style of AI slop writing is in the style of AI slop writing. This is often indicated by its use of writing that fits the typical style of AI slop. This can sometimes happen when a lazy writer dumps their notes into an LLM, and isn't careful to delve into the results. The results can be disappointing because the lazy writer had dumped their notes into an LLM and simply used the raw output without delving into the details of the raw output.
Please pay me $900 now, thank you.
