@signalstation I recorded myself reading the description on the itch page with my best Cecil Palmer impression

@TonicBH heck yeah
@kirby of course, there's a big leap from knowing someone in a group to saying, "hey, you're cool, let's do something together outside the group". I'm really bad at it and it's something a want to work on. BUT in the meantime, just attending social groups like that fulfills a lot of my socialization needs. and it feels a lot better than twitter.
@kirby what seems to work for me offline is to find groups. for example, in college I met several people i would consider friends through the Linux users group. more recently, i've been going to a local nb meet up and i'm starting to make friends through that. i'm usually super shy at first, but after a few meetings to get comfortable around people it's easier to open up.
@PixiePrincess (I assume the answer'll turn out to be something along the lines of "don't be so shy", which isn't super useful advice, but...)
@PixiePrincess I'll shout it from the rooftops
@kirby what's your secret??
on masto and birdsite it's far too easy for me to fall into the habit of reading but not posting or responding, and I don't know how to break past that.
I can sort of manage it offline but it seems harder in the digital realm, at least for me
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need
All homeless receive a small apartment and counselling β without any preconditions. 4/5 people a make their way back into a stable life.
All this is cheaper than accepting homelessness.
