The person I responded to said nothing about why they couldn’t afford to meet. So I interpreted it as the common usage of it to mean financially. If someone can’t afford a few hours a week when they are lonely to get online and play a game, well, that sucks, and I can’t help them from this side of my screen. So I offered an idea as the only help I can give.

Roll20 has a way to find others online. I’ve been extremely lucky and meet someone in college that loves to DM. Several of the people in the group I’m in found each other through that before I joined.

Online table top RPGs. All of my (mostly male) gaming buddies are feminists, and they help me be less lonely. You can play for free with very little effort.

Section. 2. (a) From the link above says that responsibilities of the DoE will be transferred to the states in a way that maintains the services Americans rely on.

I’m doubtful that they are going to do it in an organized fashion though.
