I’ve gotten to meet a few people from here irl and they were all awesome, I’d love to meet more of our comrades and I expect there’s a number of us who feel that way. Not would it be cool to hang out but as much as we wish it were posting isn’t praxis however meeting offline makes it much easier to actually accomplish something. My thought was either a sticky thread or new com. People who are down to meet can post their nearest major city and then handle everything else through DMs, that should keep the doxing to a minimum. Anyone else interested in the idea or am I just being dumb?

    It would be nice to casually meet like-minded people in the real world. But I’m rather loose with location opsec on this account so I’m likely not representative of the response you’d get.

    That said, if anyone in the rough vicinity of Kitchener-Waterloo, Canada (or Toronto on weekends) ever wants to casually hang out, shoot me a DM. I am losing my fucking mind working in an office full of men from mennonite backgrounds. These nitwits think Justin Trudeau is a communist atheist. I desperately need people in my personal life who have at least some sort of grasp on reality.

      All of the conservatives I know think anyone who isn’t an extremist Evangelical is a commie. It’s so infuriating, it’s like they live on another planet.

      What industry/field do you work in? I’ve never heard of the fact that Mennonites had any significant presence near Toronto

      Edit: nvm, think I figured it out
