I'm not sure if this is a generational issue or just a "you suck" issue, but I'm Gen X and it feels like there's nothing to do anymore. In my free time I used to enjoy the following low-key activities out in the world: Video & pinball arcades. Browsing brick & mortar bookstores and record stores. Bowling at big alleys where you could kill an hour bowling just 1 or 2 games for < $10. Even shopping malls, before they became exclusively about women's shoes and jewelry. Almost none of these things exist anymore, at least not close to me. Where do people go now to get out of the house, kill some time, be mildly entertained or distracted, and not spend a lot of money? (Activity must be indoors & air conditioned because Texas.)
