A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Honestly my biggest problem is:
... what the hell am I supposed to do other than use these apps society?
Join a hiking group/club, and don't do it with the express intent of dating. I'm not saying don't hope, but don't because you enjoy the activity
I haven't seen any good hiking groups in my area. The ones that exist on meetup.com are mostly "people with grey hairs" ... and there's nothing wrong with that other than I just turned 30 last month.
It's been that way throughout my twenties.
I'd joined a "young professionals" group and was starting to meet some people that way but ... it ended up dying out over the pandemic.
Is there an outfitter like REI in your city? They often have classes and clubs as well. You could also try something new. Maybe since you like video games, give board or tabletop games a try and go to a local game shop for a game night.
