Had to wait in an enormous entrance line to get to the pool, the day before that. Grocery store is going to be slammed this weekend, because of all the Labor Day parties. Nearly got trampled in the park by a running club of what had to be a couple hundred people. Damn shame nobody goes out anymore. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago* (1 child) what city are you in? im interested for honestly reasons edit oh its huston thank you friend permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago 👍 permalink fedilink source parent [–] Donkter@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children) People still go out to events like concerts and holiday parties.

But I can't speak to that personally. My neighborhood bar is regularly slammed. There was a line around the block for some novelty tot bag at my local coffee shop. Could just be a Houston phenomenon. But this insistence that nobody leaves the house anymore feels more like Internet dogma than fact. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Donkter@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Right... Yeah in aggregate. Just cause you see a counterfactual in person doesn't make it true. That's how it works... And it's strange, you say you can't speak to that personally because you saw a line around the block, so what about the person who gave a personal anecdote to the opposite? You both have stories that contradict each other.
