100% my wife and I. We solved this dilemma by having kids. Now we never go anywhere.
I try to prioritize the rare thing. Friends meeting up to play Frisbee in the park? Hades2 will be here when I get back. Let’s go.
But I’m also kind of a cheapskate, so if they were like “let’s go to this fancy dinner and then a cocktail bar” I’d probably skip. Luckily most of my friends don’t really have expensive tastes. $6 beer at the local bar, maybe a hangout where we bring $10-20 of snacks and drinks.
Going out can get expensive so it’s better to stay in.
Staying home means higher bills.
A $40 dinner for two at a cheap burger place is still way more than a few more kWh/BTUs of energy use at home, even if you buy and cook something at home. Two low-tier beers at a dive bar cost more than a six pack of a nicer brew you can drink at home. I’ve had to do the math too many times when going out and it hurts.
Nope. It means faster amortisation of your facilities.
Life is expensive no matter what you do.
I almost never regret going out, I just have to get over the hurdle of actually going.
Oh goodness, this is me. I enjoy going out and I can go out without spending any money other than gas. I’ll walk around a park with friends, hang out with them at their homes, go on hikes etc. But man…that hurdle of actually going is so massive.
U must be rich then
Oh hell yeah brother we earn almost half of the average income 😎
Go out. You’ll have better memories.
I pretty much never regret going out
It’s the opposite for me. I never regret staying home, but I sometimes regret going out.
Going out during heatwaves usually is a recipe for bad memories.
My experience is it can be fun if you being water and extra to share.
What if you drink too much and lose those memories.
Then don’t drink so much?
How am I suppose to remember that?
I wish I could…
So true, sidebar I could have sworn I’ve heard Twonk before. Looked it up and got this.
Twonk is a mild, humorous British slang term used to describe a foolish or silly person. It is typically used in friendly banter among mates to refer to someone who has done something a bit thoughtless or clueless, but not necessarily malicious.
I really can’t confirm if it’s legitimate though.
This gentleman has gone from a twink to a twunk to a twank.

Yeah this! This is what I was thinking about. I like this comedian, I’m just famously bad at committing names to memory.
Go sit in the car for an hour. Best of both worlds.
