@fedia.ioSo then they’ll move here, not such a bad deal.
But then, who makes sure that ActivityPub doesn’t sell out?
What do you like to do? Personally, I live to travel and go cycling. I’d be thrilled if a group of folks got me a trip along the Danube or Rhine or a tour around the Scandinavian countries. Japan or western US would be cool too. Even better if a few would join me.
Or a ski trip, or even a heli flight over a few volcanoes, with a week of vacation built around that.
I’m a few years behind you, but I tend do agree with your compatriots. I hit 40 during the Covid years and it was a bit of a bummer not to throw some kind of something, hoping 50 brings something a bit more memorable in a positive way.
That’s cool and all, but if we’re directly correlating this, then I think it would be more like you drawing out the provinces in China or India.
China I could maybe get Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Tibet kinda right, I’d try to get Guangdong, Szechuan and Xi’an, the rest I’m screwed (Heibei maybe? Guangzhou? Idfk). Perhaps I’d be better to stick to the 3 kingdoms.
India I’m much more screwed. Kashmir, North India, South India, Delhi, something called Gujurat maybe, Bengal, Pashtun?, Bombay, Goa? Throw the Ganges somewhere in there in the North and East…a desert in the west, North and South Mountains that are not called mountains? Now that I’m thinking about it, I’d probably draw it out as Kashmir, that big strip that hugs the Ganges and Himalayas where Delhi is, and Texas.
I mean, I think there’s a time and a place for crying and it’s not usually in public, but if you are among a support network, then by all means.
That said, after a devastating breakup for me, I have cried in public, at a party, among strangers, and it sucked.
What I would like to see is just more camaraderie in general. Not bro culture per se, just more, social events. Kinda like the beer halls of yesteryear in Germany or the Shriners clubs. I feel like a lot of these rotaries, lions, etc, just have kind of fallen away in most towns, particularly for young people, and I really think we are losing a piece of our community because of it.
Meetups used to fill some of that gap for me, but it’s been way too long (and two moves) since I’ve been to one. And I’m not the type to go to church (believe me, I tried - the whole women lesser than men thing around here really turned me off).
I’m one of those weirdos, 50/50 introvert extrovert. And now with a family, it’s tougher than ever.
