In our current day and age, it’s rather hard to meet new people and make new friends, particularly for those of us who do not participate in mainstream social media. So, how and where do you meet new people? Feel free to add some context around that.
Clubs and volunteering. Even at a homeless shelter or similar.
Volunteering is especially powerful because you are implicitly “supposed” to be there. Your presence is already explained and accepted, due to the service mission of the volunteer organization.
Therefore you have already achieved the first step of building friendships: shared experience, and shared time spent. Now that those are established you can step out beyond that to get drinks or pursue a then discovered shared hobby, like cycling or hiking or gaming whatever.
It’s related to highway hypnosis, and the moment you transition from “normal, safe road conditions” where you are following the person ahead to “can’t see shit fog” and everyone is panic breaking.
By the time you’ve “realiz(ed) you’ve lost all visibility” you’re fucked.
These situations happen most frequently with localized fog or very rapid weather shifts where drivers don’t expect change.
This is not a justification of unsafe driving, but an explanation of how average drivers around the world keep doing this.
That’s correct, humans have used the cutting edge methods to drive out and destroy native populations in the name of expansion, for thousands of years.
