i've always had the best luck with unusual hobby groups: Beekeeping, Fencing (with swords), Camping, Uniclubs for entrepreneurship.

Still 99/100 people are going to be shit, and of the 1/100 the relationship will die unless you put in a huge amount of effort to come up with things for the two of you to do together

Pretty much this OP. This is the mindset of the average person, aka Normie. The entire reason the US is under such heavy debt. The reason Bernie almost won the nomination. People are unwilling to control their spending in the here and now for the benefit of later. Its an alien concept.

Because it’s not enough to live meager and be rich, people instead want to live rich and be meager.
I like to compare it to cars: ever wonder why vehicle safety standards have sharply risen, yet vehicle deaths are unmoved? It’s simple. People adjust their risk tolerance every time a new safety feature comes out, so that the risk is always the same. In other words they take bigger risks and negate the safety features.

They do the same with their finances. Make more money? Spend more money. All of this perpetuates an unending brinksmanship in which people are continually one misstep away from being broke. The worst part is I have no idea why people do it, and I think I do it too.

Literally make friends with mathematics majors or engineers in college, talk about ideas and shit. Service industry people are the dumbest and most financially retarded people on Earth (i bartend so i know your exact situation) i also go to school though and have met really cool people they usually are in a STEM major, but basically get out of the service industry world to meet better people

Oh my god fucking this. And it happens with everything not just cars.

I'm Australian and our government just keeps taking freedoms away in the name of safety and retards still manage to hurt or kill themselves in this artificial bubble world the government has creates so the government takes more freedoms away in response and people do even stupider things and the snowball continues. Everyone lives their whole lives here with training wheels on, then they go overseas on a holiday and die to something fucking simple and stupid. The aussie death toll for holidays in SEA is fucking massive and all of it to the dumbest most simple shit anyone who wasn't a total brainlet can avoid.

They get so used to the safety net under them in every aspect of society they can no longer function without it.

You mean in Australia or overseas?

Off the top of my head for stuff that has happened recently. Retards go get high on meth and then decide to joy ride their car around and smash into people killing everyone. Retards go get drunk and then fail at picking up a chick at the club so they look for someone they don't like the look off, walk up behind him and punch him in the back of the head, knocks them out, they fall on the pavement and hit their head again, then die from bleeding out, retards also continue going to these clubs despite the "coward punch" being a thing and like 20 people dying from it in the last few years and it's on the news every time it happens, yet retards still go there and turn their back on angry people. That's all in Australia. Overseas, retards go to third world nations, see stuff like parasailing off the beach. They think "yeah I will put this parachute on, tie a rope to a boat and let it pull me off the beach nothing could go wrong" even though you are supposed to start on a fucking wharf so if anything goes wrong you fall into the fucking water not on the sand, and then they fuck up the take off, fall onto the sand below and die. Retards also just eat weird food from roadside stalls meant for locals and die from weird parasites, they also drink locally brewed alcohol moonshines and die, retards think third world roads work the same as Australia roads and just ride their hired motorbikes around without a worry in the world and get taken out by busses. Retards want to go on island cruises, just step off the boat onto the jetti like nothing will go wrong and slip off knocking their head, or the boat moves and they trip on a rope and get dragged around and die.

All this was in the last year or so IIRC, probably more I am forgetting too.

Oh some more particularly idiotic ones I forgot.

A tradie dickhead was supposed to be training some apprentices on the job. When it came time to use the buzz saw, he gathered them all around to speak to them and goes "now listen up lads, the buzzsaw is very dangerous, you could very easily saw your whole arm off with this thing so be careful. Now watch here and I will show you how to use this and what not to do." her grabs some wood and turns the saw on and starts cutting it "now look where my hands are, and see how they stay behind this line, and, I always make sure the guard is down. It might seem like extra work and it slows you from cutting, but always keep your hands behind their line and keep the guard up, or you can hurt yourself, because, look here, if you do this, and pull the guard up, and put your hand here to cut the wood which might seem easier at first you can AAAAAAARHRHRHR" and he actually fucking stuck his hand over the line and got his arm sawed off, the absolute fuckwit.

Also retards go onto building sites and think because they are wearing a hard hat they are invincible, and don't have to worry, so they just throw bricks and heavy material around, including chucking them over the edge of the scaffolding since it's easier than carrying it down, ends up hitting goes on the head down below all the time. People also think because the safety standards officer checked it, that it must be a okay so they go and move scaffolding and do their own makeshift stuff and spill cement everywhere, then slip off the scaffolding and kill themselves.
