If you're catholic, there is the Knights of Columbus

I don't tend to advocate Mason stuff...

Tbh I wish I were a Christian because the social aspect would be nice

@Sherlock Are you pagan?

@Sherlock become Christian then

The AFA is probably the easiest way to find a pagan group that isn't totally pozzed

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN yes but more philosophically than that I literally believe in the gods

@Sherlock (that's not uncommon), still, give the AFA a look

I have a hard time buying religious stuff

I have looked into the AFA and the group around here is terrible and incompetent

@greg_p Can you dm me? I can't access South Central slack..

But I haven't tried in about a year so maybe they're better now idk

@greg_p - TX

@Sherlock Very unfortunate. Yeah, the AFA website is pretty rough. Very 1998

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN 1998 was a pretty good year

90s were a good decade

I feel like it's gone down hill since McNallen retired or whatever

I wish it were the 90s

@ThisIsChris I am sick of 1990s nostalgia. But it seemed like a blessed childhood, yes

It was a fever dream.

No large scale metapolitics, few crises

I was an angsty teenager in the 90s so I don't miss it too much lol

LoL, I was a teen during Dubya times.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN same, teen as dubya

I was late teen during dubya

I don't want crises

I'm 33

I basically want 1990s America back

@ThisIsChris I have thought about that. Demographics WERE changing. I wonder if things had just kept going, if Fukuyama had been right about "history ending," would globohomo just snuck up on us? It kind of already did, but lots of tumultuous events have shaken people awake

No gay marriage, less poz. PoZ was contained to some TV shows, and computers were magic to most people

Holy shit

@ThisIsChris The trajectory was already there. Ellen came out, there were gay/lesbian movies (albiet they were 'edgy' new york cinema)

I didn't realize it changed that much so quickly

@Nemets Okay, I can't refute that. Damn

Why is everyone so damn fat

@Sherlock Corn subsidies?

I mean maybe. I don't have the greatest diet in the world and I'm in pretty good shape

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN yeah I know what you mean. It was in the works. Half of today's increase in non-white population were not citizens or under voting age. It was a ticking demographic time bomb

But I guess genetics are different for different people so whatever

But it had not exploded yet which is what I like
