Are they a thief of focus or simply very efficient entertainment? (lemmy.world)

I lean toward "efficient entertainment", but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

Such a great example of 'reality is what you're conscious of', I feel! 'Just throw the lure in and wait' could for another person be 'arrive at a beautiful waterside location, ritually prepare your tackle, cast it into the water (a skill that can be a minigame in itself, with all the associated space for practice, improvement, and intermittent positive reinforcement), then enjoy the wonders of being still in nature, but also focus on your task and be ready to react instantly.' It takes all sorts.

I might just be influenced by all the fishermen I see fishing at my local lake. There is no peace to be found there due to all the tourists.
