I think these are things people like to think of themselves as doing with their free time: gardening, long walks on the beach, writing the next great non-American novel.

When I look at what people do off work, it’s mostly TV. They paint like once, then throw out the art supplies. Their kids are watching YouTube on iPads. Participation in the “community” amounts to celebrity gossip, out-group fear-mongering, or inane small talk.
