not particularly. alcohol tastes like crap. watching sports is dumb. video games are repetitive and tedious. traveling is expensive and tiring. movies are even more soporific than books to me.

that's just one thing I will never get. Sitting around watching highly paid retards run around chasing balls and yelling at eachother makes zero sense. who cares who wins? the few times i was forced to watch that crap as part of a family occasion I was bored stiff. I don't even watch the olympics, why should i it has nothing to do with me. I mean when the booker prize is announced do drunken idiots disrupt traffic and fuck up downtown?

I feel essentially this way but seeing it expressed like this makes me feel autistic. Really, I have very little interest in watching people engage in competition of any sort.

I overhead a couple people talking about competitive League of Legends the other day. They talk about it exactly the same way people talk about football. I was so disgusted I almost felt physically unwell.

>> No.5513849

Watching sports is about, among other things, watching skilled people react and decide and perform and compete, on the spot.

You might not find it interesting, but what disgusts you is your own projection.

I enjoy esports more though, they are still progressive, and have an infinite number of possibilities.

I avidly follow boxing and used to practice it in my teens. Also follow my local football team and occasionally attend games.
>vidya
I've lost interest in it lately, although I enjoyed Dark Souls 2 and occasionally play a game of Civ.
>sex
Every now and then. Granted, I wish it was more frequent.
>drinking

>movies
I'm not exactly a film buff but probably still watch more than the average person.
>travel
I spent most of 2013 and 2014 travelling.

And I still read roughly a book a week.
