Bar trivia and guitar.
Made like $700 at trivia last year

Lifting i guess.

I also ride my bicycle from time to time and i used to run bun a lot but i kinda stopped.

Guitar, painting, skateboarding.

I'm going to pick up the electric guitar. Learning an instrument is always a good thing for numerous reasons

programming,mycology and engineering. I would like to find some hobbies that involve atleast a little bit of socializing.

My hobby was forging, but then I moved to an apartment and my forge sits in the closet, cold and lonely. That's how I ended up lifting. Kinda similar, just different weights and different product I guess...

Hunting, fishing, coed softball league, street hockey league, I play drums and used to be in a band when I was a teenager but we never made it so now I just jam with my guitarist once in a blue moon,l. Other than that just general alcohol fueled shenanigans.

>>42738112
Arduino is basically a shitty bridge between PLC and Desktops. You can do a lot with it but for the most part its on a hobby scale. Works just fine for robot tho.

Try to check out a hunter safety course. Often needed to get your state license. DNR for your state should have a website with tons of info on regulations and stuff.
Finding places to hunt whatever game is in your state is the challenge for new guys

Reading, listening to podcasts, cooking, film and television, video games rarely, poker with friends, shooting pool

Mainly literature and language practice. After 2 years of college Latin and 1 year of Greek, keeping up my reading abilities in both is somewhere between a hobby and a job. I try to practice my Spanish, too (4 years in high school), but I am frustratingly worse at it than I should be.

Right now reading some south American lit in English translation (Bolaño), and working thru Lucretius and Lysistrata in the original.

I also like to cook, shitpost, and read online.

>>42738498
In my state there's a two day hunter's safety course that is a requirement for anyone who wants to buy their first hunting license. That's a start I guess. Should give you some idea of what you're getting into and a general concept of what you definitely shouldn't do. Other than that you should find out who you know who hunts and get friendlier with them.

Head over to /tg/ dude and look at some 40kg and WIP threads. It's cool stuff. I'm painting right now.

What do you think makes you enjoy studying law? I was considering going into it but heard nothing but horror stories from people who hated it.

Swing dancing

>>42741494
First, ask yourself what you want out of life.

Then, ask yourself if youd like to know about human relationships, the way we regulate and judge conduct.

Also realize most people are faggots that want to take more than they give. I study a lot, then theres a lot more to study and learn/understand. You gotta enjoy the process or you wont see results.

Where are you from?

>>42738498
Take a hunter safety course. Buy a shotgun and a knife and other equipment. Research hunting if you can't find a mentor (in person or online: some places have hunter mentoring programs). Practice with your gun. Find some land you can legally hunt on. Get /out/ there and walk around until you find a critter. Kill it. In that moment you will appreciate what it is to be alive in a way that non-hunters will never comprehend. Bring your prey home to your woman. Cook it for her. Feel complete.

Fishing is also a decent gateway drug.

>>42741526

England. I finished my undergrad in history and going into law is a pretty popular path afterwards, albeit expensive.

>>42741494
It's actually really satisfying, on multiple levels; it's intellectually challenging, demanding, garners you respect and money if you're good at it, and gives you a deeper perspective on how societies work and how to be a better person than most people get.

>>42741536
Your systm is different than ours, still I would consider it. Read some books about it and see if you dig it. I recommend some introductory material or philosophy, law and stuff like that might be too much for starters.

Well working with a firm is a looot of work (think 60-80 hs a week), and its mostly big companies (mergers and acquisitions, stuff like that). Theres more to law than that: criminal justice, civil stuff (think a traffic accident), etc

I'm a full time doctorate student so I don't have a ton of time for hobbies outside of the gym. But I enjoy shooting firearms, driving my car, drawing, reading nonfiction, and for a while I there I played violin (although haven't had much time for it lately).

Rowed through high school which took up a lot of time and was good for me. First year if uni i just drank a fuck ton and didnt really have any interests besides chasing girls and occasional gym. Now in my 2nd year and ive been getting into aussie techno/doof culture so ive picked up production and DJing as a way to spend time productively. Gotten more into lifting and enjoy what a study which is mechanical eng, so going pretty well at the moment desu.

>>42742013
I did crew in high school also. Such a great sport.

>>42742016
Very good for high school, tried club for a while after that but unless you're willing to make it your life and push other things back for it theres not much point.

Bow hunting and 3 gun. I need cheaper hobbies.

>>42742023
Yeah I feel that. The more recreation club here is a bunch of older people arguing about who's throwing off the 8 boat. Sounds more frustrating and not worth the yearly fee. I prefer 4 boats more anyway.

Lots and lots of reading. It's virtually free, buy a kindle whenever they go on sale and you get an unlimited supply of stuff. It's also a great motivator, just avoid modern self-help stuff. I don't think it's possible to not be pumped for anything after reading Ayn Rand's Anthem, give it a shot, it's pretty short.

A bit of gaming. I abandoned all online games aside from Monster Hunter with friends occasionally. I realized that most online stuff is just made to milk your time and money so nowadays I'm going mostly through classics I haven't played yet. I'm playing Dragon Quest VIII now.

Movies are pretty great, too. They aren't too long so you can watch two or three per week and there's an infinite amount of classics out there. I do watch some good schlock every now and then, though, gotta have some good entertainment where I don't need to use my brain (I love Fast & Furious)

I've also picked up making cocktails. My family has heavy drinkers with surprisingly no alcoholics but I'm not too fond of strong drinks, so I decided to learn how to make some good stuff that doesn't taste as bad (and doesn't fill me up with empty calories). It's also a really good skill for socializing.

I've read Neuromancer and am about 50 pages into Count Zero. He's a good writer but he's improved by miles in Count Zero. Neuromancer was influential but shallow. I wish William Gibson would stay out of politics; his anti-Trump shit on twitter is so cringey.

>>42742163
Count Zero gets even better on the second half. I found the first half so be almost unbearably slow before he starts giving you any actual info on the story and the characters. In the end, I liked it more than Neuromancer.

Also, same. It happens to everyone. I love Stephen King and Scalzi but I had to unfollow both of them cause their hot takes were so bad

Put in your time in the big firm, cultivate a relationship with a major client you like, and jump in-house. Saner working hours and eventually you're being taken out to lunch by the same partners who were making you work 70 hour weeks...

My hobby is parenting.

I don't have kids so I hang around parks giving parental advice out to random kids. It makes me feel good that I'm handing down knowledge when I can't have kids of my own.

I get asked to move on a lot by bad parents that don't give a fuck about their kids learning anything. There are plenty of good parenting spots round d here though so I just move on to the next one

Its a fairly cheap hobby if you know what you're doing and can be damn rewarding.

I didn't used to like the painting aspect of the hobby, but these days I've come around on it, its like meditation, where you can just stick some music on, get painting and watch hours just fly by.

I enjoy speedtyping, aka competitive typing. Right now my average on the website I frequent is 120WPM- though my highest average ever was 134WPM, and my highest all time speed was 154WPM. There's a small, but pretty interesting community that I like to hang out with on their discord. I have made a lot of friends through speedtyping.

Aside from that, programming, reading at the library, 4chan, occasional vidya, currently learning Piano, and I also want to get into rubix cube solving. The goal is to get a sub 1 min solve.
