lol bunch a fucking whiners... go to the parks, go to the theater, go to an arcade...get out of your metro neighborhood and disconnect the wifi and find new friends. All of those places are busy. not all the time, but in my town they are! then there's whiners who say there's nothing to do. creatives have died. you have to Tell Phone Zombies what to do now and they jump.

There are not a lot of places left where you can buy electrical components (transistors, resistors, capacitors etc) anymore.

It get harder and harder to repair any electronic device because they're all computer-controlled with glued on custom chips. You may fix the occasional blown out power supply, but for most problems; just order a new motherboard.

#5 big stores pulled out of malls across the nation, turning retail locations into business offices. Less reason to hang out if the places surrounding you are cheap lawyers, gambling parlors, realtors, and the local chamber of commerce (my mall).

the reason nobody goes out anymore is because they don't have to. in the past, if you wanted to socialize with your friends you had to meet in person but social media and smartphones removed that need.
