I have an active social life but mostly around shared interests, eg book clubs, sports, some activism, etc. Classic friendships not so much, having drifted from childhood friends. Feels like we live in different worlds. My partner has taken that place.

Boring perhaps but loads of experiences that are impractical IRL:

• Rally and circuit racing
• Flying various aircraft
• Explore non-Euclidian spaces
• Combat sports
• Perform cool roles in musical theatre
• Unload a barge like in those viral videos

There are airplane and bus spotters too. I don’t think it weird though, people geek out about all kind of things. Trains are cooler than cars anyway ^_
