Social hour is actually very necessary, not happening, our third spaces are dying and churches are one of them. Not that I'm not glad to a degree, but we need replacements because people come to the church for human connection, and then pick up the bullshit over time.

Hell I'm in the South and I have queer friends that still go to southern baptist churches "because there's food once a week" and "I get to be around people."

Back in the 70s/80s/90s, we had The Mall. If you didn't have anything else to do, you'd just go to The Mall, and see who was around. If nothing else, you could hang around in the book and record stores, or the food court. Or play games in the arcade. Or just sit on a bench and watch girls.

Now kids just sit home and play video games.
