    You go for the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics

    That feel when you want the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics but Chuck-E-Cheese is no more sicko-wistful

      Yeah those kinds of places can’t survive when working people have no disposable income. It’s part of what’s driving all the isolation and lonliness. All the free third places are long gone except libraries, and many of the paid third places are collapsing because there isn’t enough disposable income going around to keep them open. People stay home and doomscroll because they already paid for the phone plan and can’t afford to do anything else.
