sure, let's all maximise the time we have available to spend on a couch consuming mindless tv.
The "but it takes tiiiiime" argument against making your own things (and achieving a kind of satisfaction, control and learning that's hard to beat) is simply dreadful.
- VikingCoder 3y agoIt's nice to have the luxury of spare time. Many people don't. Or they have to budget it extremely tightly.
- wyager 3y agoDon't project your use of spare time on everyone else. Some of us use spare time towards productive ends. I would personally prefer not to spend all my time living like a subsistence farmer from 1200 years ago.
- kelnos 3y agoWho are you to decide what people do and don't want to do with their spare time? Some people don't achieve any satisfaction from making their own things; they just see it as a chore. Your disappointment in that is just your subjective opinion, not any reflection of objective truth. You also seem to think that there's nothing "productive" anyone could do with the time they save from not having to make their own things, which seems obviously false.
