So I have the week off, and I’ve been scrolling Lemmy and having all this loneliness epidemic themed stuff jumping out at me today. Kept thinking "man, I should invite people to my local haunt, even if we just grunted on our phones or something."Then I saw this community mentioned in a thread about OSS dating apps. So screw it, let’s add a post here.
36 M, recently separated, seeking lemmy users who want to chat with a lemmy user IRL in Ottawa, ON. I like movies, pinball even though I suck at it, interested in (if not super knowledgeable about) local history, love live music (rock, punk, psych, jazz, funk, etc.), weird life stories, and what if contemplations (ask me about my gradual tiki night idea). I also make shitty collage type things recently.
You? You’re a lemmy user! You want to leave the house mostly so you can say you did it! Maybe the things above are interesting to you! Maybe you don’t actually give a shit! Who knows - all are welcome! Bonus points if, like me, you are not a lemming but a sh.it.head.
I’d want to meet up at my super-hip local haunt in the west end. Looking at this from a mostly platonic perspective, but hey, who knows?
Is it cold in Ottowa right now? The only thing I know it is in Canada and sadly a long distance from me lol. No bonus points for me, I am not a sh.it.head
That’s ok, I won’t hold that against you ;)
Not incredibly cold quite yet, but definitely getting chilly. Have had a little bit of snow fall, still a long way from skating on the canal though (fun fact: when it actually freezes we have the world’s longest outdoor skating rink. I mean, for now, given climate change and all).
What about your part of the world? Does it get cold/snow/stuff freezing in the winter?
I think due to climate change it will get not too cold in the winter. I hate that my fingers start to freeze lol, otherwise I could use a smartphone outdoors during the winter months.
Dunno your circumstances, but gloves with capacitive fingertips are a game changer. Pretty decent stocking stuffer too if you do the whole christmas thing. Just sayin’.
