Oof ouch owwie my entire existence.
My partner has gotten into car detailing and Luke’s to clean our hats and shoes. He’s happy with his hobbies.
My entire existence is fighting entropy to help save people money when everything breaks, and my hobbies are camping, repairing old Coleman Lanterns and riding/maintaining a 41 year old motorcycle.

I enjoy my hobbies, honestly, but there’s basically never a “done” state for this stuff, just “I can’t afford the cost/time to do this lower priority thing right now, I’ll revisit it when it starts making strange noises on the highway/actively combining fuel and fire”.
Are you Emiya Shirou?
I’ll rebuff your entire argument with one question: how freaking satisfying is it to get an old lantern running though?
