It's been a hard day to be an American. Not trying to be political, just how I feel.

Thanks to everyone. Our little CF family is the best. Sorry for bringing it down yesterday.
Agreed. Try talking to him and see if he wants to catch Sunday supper sometime or so
If he moves out, you have more rent and bills to pay.
My Nazi fighting father is likely rolling over in his grave. I have a Nazi banner he brought back. It is not anything I display of course. It's a folded up evil thing I have as reminder of what my dad was fighting and how evil they were (are). I don't have a pacifist bone in my body when it comes to these guys and their ilk. And that, amazingly enough to a guy who grew up in the '50's with WWII vets everywhere, has become political.

Without taking this further political. Rep Blum posted a picture on Twitter yesterday standing with two WWII vets. Both had MAGA hats on.
If he's not bothering you and pays his bills, I don't see the problem.
Don't assume stuff about him. He's probably feeling like the third wheel. Or he is just one of those kids that plays video games constantly and doesn't leave the room. Offer to have him join you when you guys go out and if he turns you down repeatedly, stop offering. There are a lot worse people you can have for roommates than shy ones or video game recluses.
Overheard a conversation that a woman had with my sister at her office:
Woman: Did I hear correctly that the underground railroad went through here?
Sister: Yeah it did.
Woman: Oh wow! So what part of town did the train run through? And it was underground? Where?
Sister (trying not to hurt her feelings): Um I think the library has more information on it, but I don't think the house is still standing.

My 24 year old son just had a discussion with me about how much it bothers him that our society seems to not know it's own history. He realized how "old" he is when he has an intern working for him who doesn't remember 9/11. And when he found out there were Holocaust deniers he was all WTF? When I told him when I was in school, they taught that the Civil War was all about states rights and not slavery, another WTF?
I'd have given her a NYC subway map
Are there still Subway sandwich shops around with all of the subway maps and pics on the walls?

His name isn't Dahmer, or Bundy, is it?
I cut it down to 3 miles a day. This body just ain't cut out to consistently do 5 mile runs.
I have moved kids into enough student housing at this point to know that there is a large number of kids this age who do absolutely nothing except play video games, watch garbage on youtube, and/or smoke weed. They may turn into mass murderers, they may just be the downfall of America with their lack of work ethic, they may march around with torches at night glorifying our slavery past in the name of free speech, or they may just be harmless and go back to their parents basements someday. Perhaps they will eventually even be productive citizens. But BDK's roomie sounds fairly harmless at this point.
I know some similar kids. Just joking, mostly. BDK didn't report any strange smells from the fridge so probably ok.
