Spending money on activities and on community is vastly better than spending it on non essential things and I'll die on this hill.

You can't act like there's a substantial difference between the former and the later. It's mostly a matter of opinion which things are trivialities and which things are important for happiness and community.

People that research happiness say that experiences are more important than things and that community is also important for happiness. So there is a difference empirically.

My point was more that there's a lot of individual variation in terms of what things count for what category and even whether they're enjoyable or not. You would have to pay me to go to a screamo concert. Other people would greatly enjoy the experience. Furthermore, at a certain point, you have to diversify the things you do. You can't spend 100% of your free time strengthening your relationships, sometimes you gotta just buy some candy and eat it.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
