Chess seems unique in the sports/games world because randomness plays absolutely no role in the outcome. It is purely the other person's brain squashing your brain down into a beige stain.

I bought a used school bus as a hobby. Now I'm a school bus driver so technically I get paid for my hobby. Except that dealing with middle-schoolers is definitely not a hobby.

I'm introverted and frugal. I sit in my chair and vibrate through realities.

One of the reasons I'm glad I live in the city. There're free concerts in the parks. Free movies, sometimes. I can bike or train to the beach. There're meetups for all sorts of interests. When I lived in the suburbs, it was a wasteland. At best you could drive somewhere interesting.
Seriously. Suburbs are a hell I refuse to return to and which I wouldn’t wish on anyone. They just suck the life out of everything and you don’t even get anything for it. Hell, the houses aren’t even that cheap so you really just get to spend a lot of money on hot garbage.
“Hey, wanna be isolated from all your friends while getting nothing in return except the blandest, cookie-cutter hellscape? Have I got the place for you! And fret not, it’ll still cost you a staggering amount of money for even a small, shitty place so you better be fuckin’ married if you want even a two-bedroom condo!”

I take my daughter out to lunch and I just don’t eat now. $18 for a bowl of spaghetti bolognese, I’ll just drink water while she eats thanks
I ain’t tryin’ to blame ya, just to be clear but:
- Bahn Mí is way cheaper and way more fun.
- Shawarma is usually pretty cheap and if it’s still $20 for a plate you best believe you’ll have a meal to share.
- The last tip could probably work for a whatever burrito place’s big burrito. They always got a really big one on the menu somewhere.
Italian food from a restaurant is such a ripoff. I can make a way better pasta with some ground beef or pork, store-bought sauce, and some random pasta, and I get the option to add other vegetables that they either don’t include or have in pathetically small amounts.

Learning to sit still, in the quiet, and just being has been one of the biggest improvements to my mental health.
Of course, a bigger improvement to my mental health would be if we had an economy that worked for the people rather than for the rich...
While I agree, there’s certainly a difference between learning to be comfortable with stillness and literally not being able to afford to do anything. I take time for stillness every day but the fact that I can’t do anything else without feeling guilt is the problem.
Also, as much as I know you are trying to be helpful, I’m really sick and tired of being told that I have to make all the sacrifices. Pretty soon the next sacrifice I’ma make is gunna be to Khorne.

you cant make me hike, i wont do it, I WON'T
Fair enough. It’s not for everyone. I’ve heard it described as, “Suffering, surrounded by great beauty.”

OTOH, if you can afford basic necessities, hobbies are just a rounding error on top of them.
Unless it’s motorsports. Then the necessities of life are the rounding error.

Wait... Do most bus drivers own the bus?

People that don't have to pay rent every month have the luxury of pursuing expensive hobbies. Housing is so expensive that permanent homes are so far out of reach for many workers...

No, bus drivers don't own the buses they drive kids around in. Those buses are owned or leased by the district or company they work for. The bus I own I converted into a motorhome, so I couldn't drive kids in it even if I wanted to (no more than two, anyway, since I do have one passenger seat in my bus).

To start drawing you need a pencil and some paper. It costs almost nothing to start and it can be very rewarding.

I think concert tickets are expensive only if you listen to pop music. I recently went to a concert with line up of Cannibal Corpse, Mayhem and two more bands and the tickets were just $50.
I went to a Shrek rave for $20

"Good paint pens" are so expensive... Also they go through standard printing paper so they need expensive special paper...
That being said, i don't draw/paint, so i don't understand the appeal of these special pens.
