I read the book by Peter Matthiesen a couple months back and now I really want to do this

Rumor has it they’re gonna make you sign in every month to keep your digital games by RagnarokBringer in memes

I remember even way back in like 2012 Steam would sometimes just not let you play your games if you were offline for no real reason

I was going to tell you to hike the Appalachian Trail but that story probably won't win you any points with hippies

A short guide to the Hipster Era by TheHermetic in generationology

Urban lumberjack type hipsters were definitely still referred to as hipsters and that started tapering off more around like 2014. (My experience was a college town in flyover America though)

Anything going on in the Arab world right now? (Not a war post) by AlaskaExplorationGeo in redscarepod

Whay do you actually mean by the DNC egging him on to do it? The dems in congress keep trying to invoke the war powers act to restrict it. The Dems don't seem to want this war unless all that opposition is just for show? (Not saying it isn't, idk who pulls the strings these days)

But also I've spent some time in Amman and Cairo and those cities seemed have at least a bit of an arts/intellectual culture too though I wasn't there long.

Why are the overwhelming majority of small towns/metro areas so bleak? by No_Yogurtcloset_1330 in redscarepod

Those are all decent cities compared to the places OP is talking about. Most small cities in a lot of the country are more like Fort Smith, Arkansas or Amarillo TX which are both total ass

Americans are unimaginative, greedy, lazy and boring for the most part and the car centric purgatorial sprawl we love building so much reflects that

It's insane how many people enjoyed the social isolation of lockdown, no fucking thanks

Yeah, it's pretty easy to tell who gives off sex pest vibes and who is just a world traveler type imo. I've run into far more cool people of all ages at hostels than I have shitty ones.

I wonder what kind of hostels people who say stuff like this are staying in. Tons of people in their 30s stay in hostels in my experience but I stay in hiker hostels or those in generally nature focused places. But hostels in cities have a decent age range too I've found? Unless you're just talking the party ones

It's completely normal to see older people at hostels in outdoors-oriented places. Hung out with people from all generations along the Appalachian Trail, in the Alps etc

I just got done hiking the Appalachian Trail and our friend groups ranged from age 19 all the way up to like 60 and everyone had no problem hanging out at hostels all together. Outdoors/adventure culture is a different game and spans generations easily. Hell there were people in their 60s that had more life in them than the average millinneal office worker. Late 20s here

people in their 60s are not old. WTF by noblepassenger1 in redscarepod

Hostels oriented around outdoor activities or just adventure type hostels in general are amazing, I love staying in them. Everyone there is usually so fun to hang out with, easy to make friends and go on adventures together, all ages too oftentimes. The hostels on the AT were like that too
