I get knocked down, but I get up again. You’re never gonna keep me down

Not sure if it’s specifically what you’re looking for, but I’d recommend going on disboard and looking up local discord servers. I’ve joined a couple and met some people I like hanging out with through one. I’ve found that people on local servers tend to be a mix, including other lonely or socially awkward people. One of the servers I’m in literally has a How to Make Friends pinned post for people who might need it. It’s also got an all purpose support thread going that tends to be very positive.

Find a few near you that do meet ups or events, feel the groups out for a bit even just lurking and see if it feels right for you. Maybe go to an event, even if you also feel anxious, and try to meet some of the people you talk to online. Just remember that they might also be lonely people trying to make a connection too.

Should show the door’s relation to the room

Seconded

That’s because this image is dated af.

I fully support the right to arm bears

Top comment from the Hacker News discussion:

The title is false. It seems to derive from the following paragraph: “The results were alarming, with 15% of the top 100 subreddits found to have content that was likely posted by bots or corporate trolls, specifically aimed at promoting certain companies or organizations.”

It's not 15% of content. Nowhere even close. It's 15% of top subreddits that might contain just a single post considered "likely" (no actual verification) to be from what they call a corporate "troll".

In other words, it's a completely meaningless statistic.

Nice to see Thag still alive

Earth Defense Force 5 plays really well on Steam Deck. I’m loving being able to pick it up and play a quick mission on it at lunch.

Stick to communities like this that screencap the good bits so you don’t have to sort through the crap.

Ah great. I can’t wait for another TV where the producers base the plot of the show entirely off the book’s cover art.
