>>20155352My passion is schizoposting, but in the real world my hobbies include:
> reading nonfiction books (usually about niche topics like the history of opera, cave paintings, or Krakatoa) and European comics (Tintin, etc)> walking/biking/driving around new parts of my city, if I say "I create quests for myself" that sounds autistic but I'll create non-critical tasks for myself that force me to go to those areas and explore> web games/flash games/idle games, never console or PC games since I use a 15-year old shitbox running linux> DIY / home renovation / interior design, since I bought an old condo unit that I plan on fixing up and renting outI've been in-and-out of other hobbies like weightlifting and photography, but those come and go in waves as I move around or have other priorities to address.
>>20155379"Best state" depends on a million different factors, because every state can provide something if you have enough money. I would say New England is the best overall answer because even low-income folks have access to lots of great things (tons of nature, public services, education, cultural institutions, etc), but the region has been losing jobs for decades as people move away, so it's dependent on if you can find a good job (Boston has the most opportunity, but Hartford, New Haven, and Providence have their niche industries).
Virginia was originally a plantation state, so most of the really nice estates are out in the country. Northern Virginia (right outside of D.C.) will have the most wealth, 3 of the 5 richest counties in the country are in that region so it's a nice place to live, but the vast majority of that is suburbia so you'd need to be okay with that lifestyle. While there are pockets of wealth outside of that region, the rest of the state isn't that nice. Roanoke has Appalachian poverty and Hampton Roads is (imo) a beach bum community.
As for other states, CA is worth it if you have money, while WA, CO, and TX are nice runners-up.
