Seems to me that the only thing we’ll be shaboinking is pixels on the screen, and a date would be something like sitting on the roof of a rented car and drinking some high-fructose McFlurry.

        In India, bachelors have a hard time getting a place for rent. They often have to pay exorbitant prices. And obviously, no drinking/smoking at home, no pets, there’s also dietary restrictions some times, no inviting friends, especially of the opposite sex. But that was for the millennials. For us Gen-Z kids, it gets so much worse.

          The diet nazi upper caste landlords are possibly the most gross people.

          In the places I rented there was only one that never cared about smoking.

          Other places owners would just barge in whenever or put weirder restrictions.

        I miss living alone. My family put in so much work getting out of rundown apartments and near-tenement conditions that going back to it genuinely makes me want to tear my dreads out; like-- I know it’s a fantasy but I was raised to see the conditions we escaped as ‘failure’. I can’t stand that feeling.
