What's a process where you prefer the old way of doing things instead of how it's done now? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Lack of third places has been a real thorn in society, especially third places that you aren't expected to spend money.

    EDIT: I've just learned I was incorrect in my original comment below. Bars, taverns, nightclubs etc are included in third spaces according to Wikipedia. I guess I learned an alt definition at some point, or perhaps just a wrong definition.

    The definition of a third place is that you can spend time there without the expectation of buying something. If you're expected to spend money to occupy space, it's not a third place.

    (Fully agree that the loss of such spaces is killing us, though!)
