Use archive.ph or archive.today to get past most paywall. I believe the only recent one it hasn’t worked with is Washington Post unless the article is a bit older.
Yeah, it’s the loss of third places.
Like, it’s kind of ridiculous that I live in a house with 15 families and barely know anyone here.
But how should I know anyone? There’s no place to sit down and have a chat in the hallway. There’s no bench outside, because why would anyone want to stare at a street, in particular also because of what the article points out.
The only guy I’ve kind of formed the mildest resemblance of a connection to, is a guy who occasionally takes the same bus and so we see each other at the fucking bus station. The guy sleeps less than 10 meters from me, but we have to walk 200 meters to meet each other by pure chance.
Totally true, nice article thanks
