why is the hobbies thing more important than everything else?
I'm sorry I'm broke on a capitalist hellscape and can't afford a car, much less pay for some club dues or expensive gear to do some adrenaline junkie shit outside and just enjoying sitting inside playing video games and doing other online crap like reading (not books generally, unfortunately)
I hope this is just some shit The Kids™ care about, but I feel like being poor only weighs more heavily against me the older I get.
What are you on about lol. Reading and playing video games are hobbies. Do you think the average person is playing games for a job? And yes there are a bunch of nerds out there doing these things for fun who want to date. You likely won’t find them on fuck apps, but every other coworker is playing something. Having “no hobby” would be sitting on your phone for 8 hours scrolling on twitter, then switching over to YouTube, then switching over to discord
Being poor does affect people’s lives, but plenty of poor people still get laid. If you can play games, then you’re not at the level of poverty where work consumes every second of your waking time and “hobbies” are a waste of time because you need to feed yourself
Anyway, as someone whose hobbies are solitary and don’t contribute to any positive outcomes in my social life, people value hobbies because
and even that can morph into a hobby.
It’s how mediocre podcasts are born!
