I feel like the intense effort to monetize what in the past would just be accepted as a hobby is really the most strikingly lame phenomenon. My friend plays in a band and they released a single and his coworker's first question is how much money he's making from doing it, like that's the sole justification for doing any activity. Same with crafting in general, there's this notion that if you don't have an Etsy shop and sell things at craft shows that somehow whatever you're creating is pointless, even if Etsy shops and craft show sales would never earn you enough to live from, it's just the point of making money from how you choose to spend your time that's the important thing. Obviously, playing video games isn't much of a hobby, but even there, there's a whole eco system around how you could monetize it by streaming or whatever. Like somehow everyone is convinced that you need the market to validate the way you spend your leisure time instead of just spending the time. It has to be an investment or spent productively or it's just a waste of time.

Konar posted:Skincare, astrology, self help poo poo, stuff like that. Really anything focused on the self is a stupid and bad hobby Many (not all) so-called "self-help" books are of help to many (not all), but IMO (and experience, and I've heard witnessed) lengthy attempts at psychological self-help tend to reach an impasse, because one's own ego is not a great "executive" for decreasing ego. Stroking one's ego, with the aid of a wanky book or not, is not genuine self-help! Good self help includes helping oneself to external help, becoming humble enough to accept it, and helping others where possible. Anyways you'll probably, I suspect, view much of this post as self-help bollocks, but whatever. I used to reject entire fields based on little evidence, too. Good self-help groups (there are many) are primarily for helping each other, not for endlessly helping oneself. Hope you take care of your skin enough so you don't get skin cancers later in life and it doesn't resemble thin parchement or leather. https://youtube.com/watch?v=b7nocIenCYg&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE Spot on re astrology, it's ignorant, stupid and bad.

The only way I was able fix myself after mentally breaking from the pandemic was to realize that no, I cannot power through this any more, zombie mode isn't working, and I can't do it alone. Started therapy, did intensive outpatient treatment, and with a lot of hard work over almost 3 years I'm basically a regular person again.

Devils Affricate posted:Back when I used Facebook, a coworker added me and he always seemed like a decent enough guy so I clicked accept. Immediately I was flooded with posts from his wall about the latest designer sneakers he bought. Just a constant stream of $400 Nikes and poo poo, with weird rear end hashtags like #WhiteAndBright and #HighTopStylin. I don't think I've ever lost respect for another human being so quickly. Barely hidden sneaker fetish.

Most astronomers I've met would avoid eye contact and conversation at all costs. I don't think I've ever met an actual astrologer.

i've started to feel bad about dunking on astrology earlier because it's still cooler / less insane than actual religion you never hear about "astrologers" who actually have jobs in astrology but there's millions of priests also i never hear about space-sign people loving kids believing in God is the lamest hobby

from a western culture perspective, even scientology is cooler / less stupid / less harmful than christianity, which is just wild

When I was a kid, my friend's little brother was really into workshop type activities but he was too young to be doing them for real, so his parents would set him up with a paint brush, a few planks of wood, and a bucket of water. He'd spend all day "painting" the wood, never running out because it just dried by the time he circled back from painting the other pieces. Pretty stupid hobby if you ask me!
