Hey man, don't knock getting high and watching TV. I'm sure there are plenty of successful HN readers that enjoy doing just that with some of their free time. :

- soft_dev_person 10y agoI second that. Also, we don't all have perfect lives. Sometimes an escape (TV, getting high, whatever) is the best use of our time to stay somewhat sane.
- vlunkr 10y agoI believe being really unproductive is fine in small doses. Sometimes you need to just really relax. The problem is when that's how you spend ALL your free time. I mean, have you ever watched tv all day and really felt good about yourself at the end?
- SolaceQuantum 10y agoI like marathon running documentaries. It makes me feel better at the end of them.
- PakG1 10y agoIt really depends on the quality of what I'm watching. :) Breaking Bad? House of Cards? Been there, done that, didn't regret it at all.
- dade_ 10y agoYes and an all nighter to follow! Watched a couple of seasons of Six Feet Under with a buddy of mine years ago, it was fantastic. No amount of time spent with friends is "really unproductive", it literally keeps us alive. I didn't see a note about it in this article, but I suspect that the no-income people that are happier with their lives are doing low cost entertainment activities with friends.
