I have argued this point in the past, as I'm sure many others, but it's nice to have a term for this concept: hobbyless behavior.

@stefan It also nicely-enough doesn't align with workism.

@lispi314 Whew, for a second I misread that as "wokism".

Yeah, definitely!

@stefan Nah, the American obsession (I wish it was only Americans) with living for work & work alone is the thing that smacks very incompatibly with the notion of hobbyful behavior.

@lispi314 @stefan the phrase "protestant work ethic" is something I've heard used to describe that mindset. In the extreme, any form of joy seeking is sinful.
