Any time I talk about my hobbies, I get told that I have too much free time on my hands, and/or that I should turn said hobbies into a job/business.
It's like people are so capitalism-brained that they can't fathom someone having a passion for the sake of the passion itself, and not making a commodity out of it.
Also the phrase "you have too much free time on your hands" as a backhanded insult. People seem to abhor the idea of someone spending their time doing things for themselves instead of working. Or am I reading too much into that?
"if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life" yeah well nobody will pay me to sit in bed drinking beer all day so get fucked
just get popular as a "just chatting" dork on twitch. ez clap
"just chatting" and it's just a stream of me falling asleep because the mornign beer was not a good idea
