I find that grilling out with friends and family is good. Books are really good, lots of interesting stuff to learn on the non-fiction side (and I honestly think the new AI stuff is making it even easier to learn things!), still more interesting fiction that I haven't read yet than I could ever read in a lifetime, not to mention re-reading books I already love. Similar thing with movies and tv; just finished the new season of The Bear and rewatching the first season now and it's great. Video games are pretty great; playing the new Zelda game with my daughter right now. Really enjoying museums and zoos and parks and pools and these trampoline places (which didn't exist when I was a kid) with my kids. Hiking and skiing trips and road trips are still great (though harder since I had kids). Meeting new people who live in different places and have different experiences is great.
There's lots of great stuff! But yeah, none of it is really on the internet. Touch some grass!
- ravenstine 3y agoOh yeah, 100%! Most of my enjoyment these days is offline. Been going to different bars in the city and playing bar games with people for the last 6 months and it's a lot of fun. More expensive than hanging out on web forums, but also way more fulfilling.
