It does depend on what you’re interested in. I moved to Waterford in November and luckily have met some really great people. Of course everyone is pregnant or has young kids, but we both love kids even though we don’t have our own. I’ve actually been more social than my husband for a change, which feels really nice. Feel free to send me a DM if you ever want to hang out near New London.

They do, but I'm trying to separate my friendships from my relationship with my sig. other. Is that weird? I mean I like my boyfriend's friends and their sig. others, but I want my own group of friends too. :(

I love these suggestions! I actually did Bumble BFF for a bit, but then it got to be meh. Rock Climbing sounds like so much fun! :)

Edit: I thought the poster I replied to may have been trolling, instead I missed a reply of theirs. They don't like the term, but I included a link previously explaining what a Stroad is. I apologize for insinuating you may have been trolling, I should do better reading replies before jumping to this conclusion.
Here is more information on the topic: Wikipedia
It was coined in 2011 by a Civil Engineer, so if the Simpsons borrowed it they certainly did from a very intelligent individual.

Kickball or a knitting group. Anything that brings people together. All of my adult friendships have come from the activities that I like to do.

They are, but that usually comes down to their design. If you've got a wide street with no curves and stoplights every couple thousand feet, but it's completely lined with businesses and apartments, then tossing down a 25mph sign isn't going to get people to drive 25mph. The street needs to be designed so that people don't feel safe driving 40mph on it.
Narrowing a street is usually the easiest way to do it. If you're worried you don't have enough room to get around that car parked on the side of the street, you're going to slow down.

It’s actually easier to get to NY from Southbury/Woodbury on 84 to 691 than it is on 95 from FFC. Less traffic and thus overall shorter commute.

Fucking Yankee Institute.
Eversource's price gouging of the residents of Connecticut is a direct result of the corporate propaganda pushed out by trash "think tanks," such as this one, funded by the billionaire class for the sole purpose to trick poor people into cutting their taxes and deregulating big business.
Anti American fucking hacks. Hope y'all are the first to be eaten when the class war comes.

Maybe, someday we'll get Wind power off of Cape Cod, or in the Long Island sound.
But that's going to be up to the government doing something or somehow people stop being NIMBYs

You can do the math out if you're curious.
EVs tend to get between 3 and 4 miles per KWh. Just figure out how many miles you drive, or something drives, and do the math out.

Do any of these guys have women in their lives you could meet with? A warm introduction can be a great ice breaker.

I'm fresh out of college and it's definitely hard.
Hobbies can definitely help. Rock Climbing in particular I find can be great for making friends, or at least socializing. It was working really well for me the first 6 months after I moved to Connecticut but unfortunately I lost the motivation to climb and I sorta fell out of contact with those friends as a result.
My girlfriend uses Bumble BFF and it's worked fairly well for her.
I realize that my suggestions may be more tuned for folks in their early-mid 20s , but maybe they can help you.

You can use the app meetup to get into groups that will have the same interest as you do. I made really great friends there.

That's pretty much everywhere now.. Most states are over 30% obesity rate, us included..

Nah he's talking about cromulent, it's a made-up word from the Simpsons used to show how weird their town is/poke fun at regional vocab. Saying something is 'perfectly cromulent' is acknowledging it's recently made up, but that it's useful
