How do we create more third spaces in America? Or is it a lost cause?

>>82901864The only third space I go to is the arcade and I specifically go during dead hours so I can play the games I like without having to wait or interact with people

>>82901864what the fuck is a third spaceits getting difficult to keep up with zoomerspeak
make streamers and influencers host live events
>>82902401It's a place besides work and home, a third space where people hang out and socialize Bars are a third space for normies for example
Turn all of the abandoned malls into city centers
>>82901864The third space is other peoples houses. This is where gatherings occur (or yours if popular).

state subsidies for board game and card shops, make the government prop up your flgs
>>82901864Just use your local community center.
>>82901864we shuld all start hanging out in walmarts 2gethr
>>82902528Hanging out at Walmart stopped being cool after Covid caused them all to close overnight instead of staying open lateIt used to be fun going to Walmart at like 2AM and seeing all the other weirdos there
there's actually a lot of third spaces and civil society stuffbut it doesn't have that girl you like usually
>>82902503Coming soon to Netflix, starring that one guy from Squid Game
>>82901864Lost cause. Third places only existed in the first place because they served a function. Now the internet satisfies people's needs. There's never going to be a "revival" of people touching grass. Oh and this >>82902542 anon has a good point. There's still social spaces in this world, but I hope you enjoy hanging out with old people and fellow weirdos.
>>82902519You just reminded me of the yugioh tournaments that used to be at kmart. So many kids would be there it was so cool. We need that for adults
>>82902542>civil society stuffOnly appeals to 30+ folks that care about their communities or students trying to get volunteer credits. I turned 30 and suddenly loved cleaning up the park and am looking into joining a group for other neighborhood cleanup projects
>>82901864isn't this comic like 15 years old now?
>>82902542>there's actually a lot of third spaces and civil societyYeah, I was thinking of trying to start up one of those gamer cafes they have in Korea back in the states but then I realized someone would eventually chimp out and wreck the place so its a no go.
>>82903260We used to have cyber cafes all over the usa but they went out of business because most americans are so rich we all have our own computers now. There just isn't a market for it
>>82902401Not zoomerspeak, as it were
>>82903273Yeah that is also another issue. The whole I can do this at home debacle
