  • This is going to be even worse than reddit search, unfortunately. There’s not an easy way to make a search like this scale for the small amount of instances we even know about. Considering there are tons of instance out there and there will probably be more in the future, these problems are going to crop up a lot more. It’s actually much easier to search in one centralized location, however the reddit search actually ended up being implemented.













  • Quite a few, actually

    • Artisan Keycap collecting, to a lesser degree mechanical keyboards (I usually use them as displays to showcase my artisans)
    • Boardgame collecting and playing. I’m a big fan of modern area control games. Also trying to design some. Slowly.
    • I curate a magic the gathering commander cube. Hopefully mtgcube gets a community somewhere around here
    • Reading, lots of fantasy there.
    • EDM shows and festivals, recently. Probably have been going to too many, but I always jump in with both feet


  • There are probably a few reasons involved.

    Lack of third spaces is harming most young people, not just men.

    A lot of men are pushing against a more open and understanding social fabric, turning to toxic role models to try to recapture some ethereal idea of (pretty toxic) masculinity. This ends up driving people away, as these role models end up pushing men to become more aggressive jerks to people, rather than becoming more open and enjoyable to be around.

    Also, a lot of men are skewing introverted, which makes it hard to make friends. It’s unfortunately still an extrovert’s world out in meatspace, so if you’re inclined to be more of an introvert, statistically you will end up lonelier.
