I've been languishing in my comfort zone. Continuing to do so will have terrible effects for me. To quote Marx, I "[have] become a monster, a huge mass of flesh and fat, and [am] barely capable of walking any more." Ever since the pandemic started I've become a terminally online antisocial weirdo who barely ever leaves my room, let alone the house.
Of course, in addition to the damage this does to my personal life, it also makes me non - potentially even counter - revolutionary. As someone who wants to be a communist instead of just some internet poisoned middle class dilettante, I don't know how I can be expected to jeopardize the comfort of my parasitic labor aristocratic class position when I can't even get out of my comfort zone enough to go outside, eat real food, and do even the barest minimum of light exercise.
@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml Also besides language classes, a lot of even smaller colleges (or just random community centers) will have art classes, stuff like painting, pottery, ravelry, smithing, etc. I had a lot of fun doing a painting one in my last city, and hung out with people after class a lot too.
Community centers will also potentially have things like adult sports leagues (soccer, frisbee, etc), yoga classes, zumba, etc. Def worth going to one and checking out what programs they have.
Bigger cities will have various hipstery-adjacent-activities like roller-skating clubs too which can be fun, and at least have younger people.
I've also been stagnating since covid and really need to find more social outlets. My main interest is music (i play piano) but I haven't found a good way to find people to jam with outside of work.
