For me right now, it’s books followed shortly of watching things. And I mean watching things that isn’t YouTube. Recently, I’ve been donating totes of books, books I’ve spent a long time having thrifted for and waited to get without having to cave to spending online.
And those books just sat there for months and months without being picked up to be read. Even books I wanted! I used to have a 5-shelf bookcase filled with books, another 3 shelf filled with books, a structure compromising of a shoe shelf and TV-stand filled with books. Now after donating things, I am only down to a single three-shelf bookcase just packed up with what books I have decided to remain with me.
As for watching things, I’ve discarded over 120+ DVDs from my collection, I still have a hefty amount, like I have nearly 5 full disc books filled with discs of a wide variety of movies and shows to watch should I ever not be online or want time off from being online. All just continue to sit there unwatched as I just keep watching YouTube video after YouTube video.
I just think I am coming around to the acceptance that I just will not give myself time to these hobbies and that they’re probably dying out, I predict that if I don’t do anything in the next couple years should they all sit and gather more dust, I’ll just let them all go.
Drone flying.
There are far too many idiots out there that are downright dangerous, annoying, and ignorant. I worked on the “rescue helicopter”(HEMS) in the past and basically everyone of my former colleagues can come up with various near-misses. The rules are god damn easy,the smaller licences are easy to get and if you use a (free!) App for the tricky questions (flight areas) combined with some common sense you’re good.
But people willfully don’t do that.
Combine that with the massive rise in hybrid warfare drones here(Central Europe) and I have absolutely zero desire to continue with that hobby.
Funny enough it was a discussion I had here on lemmy (with another account) that was the final nail for me.
A group of posters basically refused to use a (free and GDPR compliant) flight area app as it was only available on Playstore, the web app (which is explicitly provided as an alternative) could not be used as it’s source code was not provided (whut?) and therefore it’s not their fault when they fly into a marked HEMS approach zone in a hospital.
Yeah. I don’t want to associated with these people.
