    I hate people now. Nobody wants to keep their commitments. You can invite people to an event and they will all say yes, until a more enticing thing comes along and the flake on you last minute. If you say yes, be there, tell the other person “sorry I already made plans that day” like an adult

      For me the issue is that everyone is always busy.

      Me: hey, how about we meet next Friday

      Person1: I can only do Sunday from 17 to 19

      Person2: I can only do Saturday

      Person3: I can do Sunday but from 19 to 21

      Person4: I can only do the Friday after that

      Or even better, they take 5 days to reply and in the end say something came up.

      But once I manage to find the one date that fits most people and plan something people do show up.

        There was this service 10 - 15 years ago: you created a few possibilities, shared it and the shared-to could add where it fits. What was it’s name? And wouldn’t this also work as a local-wifi-only mobile app?

          You mean doodle? It still exists but since polls are literally built into every messaging app now, its obsolete. It could be relevant if you have a one-time meeting with people who dont know each other and dont have a common messaging app.

          Don’t remember the name but I used it couple of times in corpo settings. I think it weird that we have to organize meetings with couple of friends the same way we organized team buildings. I mean, weekends are for resting. Why everyone has everything booked months in advance? I spend every weekend actively but I don’t have a lot of plans that I can’t drop to meet someone.
