You are probably a well paid engineer or similar. Your experience is valid, but not the most common one.


I really don't think that's true. Everyone in the US has access to smartphones. They may not have large blocks of leisure time, but technology allows the average social media user to be scrolling for over two hours a day. You might not be able to live comfortably on 1 wage, but household responsibilities take much less time due to innovation. Obviously everything isn't rosy, but it's not really like we have less leisure time.


You are a bold-faced liar. If you have to work to live, leisure does not exist.


By your definition leisure has never existed for 99.99% of humanity. Doesn’t seem like a practical definition, but sure it’s be nice if people could just do whatever they want.


Definitely the most common one in the states. I'm broke, but all this is the same, minus eating at restaurants. You'd have to go to countries where modern appliances aren't ubiquitous for most of these time-savers not to exist.
