I’m unemployed and that phone doesn’t ring, I have some much free time but I’m anti social… So I stay at home almost all day and only go out if I need to buy something or an interview comes up. Aside the house chores and videogames I don’t do anything else.

What you do when you have lots of free time?

Edit: I forgot I’m online studying for a driving license, but is so boring I forgot I was doing that.

    Reading books is really good specially on free time. Like learning more about economics and other stuff.

        Judging by your username, you left Reddit when they did the API changes, but aren’t really sure where you’ve ended up. Kudos for that! Seems like you’ve stuck to your principles.

          I left Reddit because you can’t comment anything there. REMOVED, REMOVED, REMOVED, BANNED. Fuck that place

            Looking at your comments here, I can see why that was happening to you on reddit.

              You can’t stop freedom of speech. As long as I’m not insulting anyone (who isn’t insulting me) me and anyone else should be allowed to say whatever the hell I want. And Reddit used to be like that before everything got so controlled

                You can’t say whatever the hell you want, actually. For example, “No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.”

                  Modern society sees everything offensive nowadays… oh, that’s racist. Oh, that’s sexist… common

    Like us, you could waste time answering your questions with genuine enthusiasm and interest when you clearly don’t give a shit about yourself or anyone else

    OP, is there any particular reason why you posted this when you were just going to shoot down every suggestion people have given you?

        So… you asked people what they do with their free time, and then when people answer your question, you tell them why you aren’t interested in that thing?

        Your responses definitely imply you were expecting people to provide suggestions that you could adopt.

        Why even comment if your comment is just “that sounds boring/dumb/not for me”?

            Yeah I took a peek at OP’s history and it looks like they’ve been banned from the .world asklemmy muni for posting too much “woe is me” shit. Really this is just a reminder of how much worse the moderation is on this muni compared to the other big asklemmy.

    volunteer. find a local cause that interests you and show up and meet people that share that interest. make yourself useful. you’d be surprised how quickly that can lead to a job or friend or new projects.

    See if there are any organizations with a focus on civil protection and disaster control out there. Examples in Germany are THW and DRK. A lot of them are looking for volunteers who’ll spend some of their free time training. You’ll learn a lot and do something good.

    I was unemployed for a bit, and also underemployed at various points in my life

    Hiking/running/swimming is a great way to pass time. Looking for new spots to do these things, taking note of nearby restaurants and other things. Planning larger trips based on what I find. Sometimes just setting aside an hour for no purpose other than to walk by some shops or other parts of town I’m not familiar with.

    Volunteering is good and also can help when applying for jobs just by the merit of giving you something to fill the time with. I’ve done trail cleanups, tabling, soup kitchen type stuff. Did some work with a mental health hotline.

    It really all depends on your circumstances and what you want to get out of your time moving forward, you know?
