  • Meetups and clubs based around certain interests have worked well for me.

    Examples: writing clubs, chess clubs, book clubs, hiking clubs, debate clubs, etc.

    I have trouble at parties where I have to find things to talk about with people I don’t know, but at interest clubs then we’re all there for the same purpose and there’s a clear thing to talk about! If you hit it off with anyone, then you can begin hanging out outside of the club





  • I recently started learning and playing poker, and I mostly play with fake money. Here’s what I’ve used so far:

    Pokerstars and GGPoker both have fake money options that you can play without depositing money. I used Pokerstars for a while as it was the only client I could get working on Linux (using bottles). They both have good mobile apps. I prefer GGPoker’s interface so I’ve been using my Windows dual boot to play that when I want to on my computer.

    Poker Brawl is a phone app where you can play correspondence heads-up poker with an ELO rating system. It’s correspondence , so you only have to make a move once every three days. It’s heads-up only, though.

    I’ve found playing on real poker platforms with fake money to be best in terms of somewhat emulating real poker in terms of player behavior.

    Feel free to comment with any questions and I’ll try to help

    There are several ways it’s presented. But anything other than four 8-hour days with the same salary is just trying to pander to the rich people to make it more appealing to them. I personally would feel pretty terrible having to work 10 hours a day, and it would negate the positives of having an extra day off. It’d work for some people but it wouldn’t be a real win for the working class as it would be the same number of working hours even though productivity has skyrocketed in the previous decades
