  • There are a lot of hobbies you can get into that can be started with little or not cost, or with equipment/materials you already own.

    Figure out what interests you and see what can be done inexpensively.

    With a phone or computer, there’s writing, music, programming, learning new skills, Wikipedia, Pinterest, et al. Maybe take your phone and start photographing stuff in your area that interests you.

    Find someone who has experience in an area you’re interested in. People tend to like to talk about their hobbies and interests and they can tell you how easy or difficult it is to get started. They might even be able to help you get started.

    Maybe find a volunteer opportunity that helps pad your resume. Like animals? Volunteer at a local shelter.

    There are a bunch of job certifications you can train for online that can also help build your resume.

    Moral responsibility initially lies in the people responsible for creating the situation. The rioters are responsible regardless of which choice is made because they are the ones creating the circumstance in which there is no option to avoid injustice. If you’re the judge, you’re not responsible for the rioters killing more than one person, however unfortunate that is. You would be responsible for knowingly killing a known innocent.

    Likewise, with the trolley problem, regardless of what choice the operator makes, whoever tied up the people and put them on the tracks and whoever caused the trolley to barrel out of control is at least initially responsible.






    • Familiarity
    • More games/better gaming support
    • Consistency with computers used at work/school or by friends/colleagues
    • IT people can benefit from using the same systems as their users to provide better support
    • Availability of proprietary software necessary to run specialized equipment
    • Non-power users might not run into significant issues with Windows since it does basic tasks like web browsing, game playing, and movie watching just fine
