      Games. Board or video.

      Usually with an old TV series in the background.

      And Kitty time. Can't forget them!

      I've recently started watching Columbo and it's actually a great series to have on in the background.

          Play music, read a book, draw something, play a game, or watch a movie.

                Watch a movie, listen to music while browsing lemmy, or take a nap. If there’s something that needs to be done like repairs or chore, I do that too.

                  I never feel bored. The closest, I guess, is feeling lost and not motivated for anything or stressed and jumpy between things.

                  In those cases or more when I don't "have anything to do" in general, I open Lemmy, or YouTube, or watch anime or some series, read manga, or watch documentaries. Depending on motivation and mood I open games or do open source or personal project work. Sometimes open specific news or test websites, or my RSS feed accumulator. Or do whatever else is open to do.

                    Read, watch TV/movies/YouTube, play video games, take the dog for a walk, work on one of my many hobbies that I've been neglecting, see if any of my friends wants to do something, take a nap, listen to music,

                    And if I get really bored, there's probably something I'm supposed to be cleaning or some other chore that needs attention

                      and play a lot of classic wow.

                      I'm wondering if you can tell me where I can find Mankrik's wife.

                      I've never played horde, but she's at 49, 50. I can give you a straight answer since I haven't had to deal with horde barrens chat.

                        Being bored is not a bad thing. If by being bored you mean 'not doing something' and not being 'busy' because then it means one can start thinking by oneself. Something that seems to be severely lacking in our so modern and so constantly busy societies.

                        If you want to know what are my usual activities, beside welcoming boredom, I would say: read, write, paint, go out for a walk (that's amazing too, for the body as well as the mind), spend time with my spouse, making stuff with my hands.

                          Sometimes I lie down and listen to music or a long video, sometimes I play with my dog, sometimes I just rest, or play some games from my backlog.

                              Embrace boredom, that's where the best ideas come from.

                                We're at the last season of Malcom in the Middle.

                                How have I never seen this until now?! Such a good show, and as we were about halfway through the series, they announced a reunion season coming out soon. (Just like every other show, but this one I'm actually excited to see) Talk about perfect timing!

                                  I used to eat out of boredom, and I gained a lot of weight. Then I took up the guitar during Covid. Now when I get bored, and tempted to eat something, I pick up the guitar and start playing. Soon I forget that I was bored, and forget about eating. I've lost 85 pounds, and I'm still losing.

                                    I don’t have a lot of time for the boredom I so desperately deserve, but in my rare instances of free time I often think of immanetizing the Eschaton.

                                      Time for leisure is great. Read a book, play an instrument, daydream, learn something new, challenge your beliefs about whether certain institutions are beneficial or not, take a walk, ask someone in a position of authority subversive questions, fly a kite, take a nap.

                                        perhaps they take that as a given and mean 'after'

                                          Play the guitar or harmonica, design a boardgame or a ttrpg, play videogames, check lemmy/youtube/nebula, be in my head. But I'm seldom bored, more like "if I have free time for some minutes".
