alt Hacker NewsI wish I understood how people arrived at this state in the first place…
My parents are retired boomers who’ve lived in the same area for decades. This has afforded them a strong local fried network, despite being an ocean away from their homeland and extended families. Mom and her friends have a weekly gathering to chat and have tea/cake.
My wife and I likewise have a geoup of local friends. We get together quarterly or so for a group dinner. The wives usually organize that. Most of the guys are cat enthusiasts and/or cyclists so we see each many weekends.
Is this mostly a Millenial thing? Is there a whole generation that for whatever reason never found hobbies outside work?

Millennials were/are repeatedly economically fucked by boomers. Difficult to have hobbies or a social life when you're thrown on your ass by your greedy parents at the same time that the shitheels they elected ruined the economy (2008.) And I'll pre-empty any BS about money, money is required for everything, there is no such thing as free in the "land of the free".

Why not combine the two and take the cats cycling? A nice 30 meowle ride.
