Thanks for the advice. I love Reddit, I think it is amazing. I love reading forum-like sites and comments on controversial topics because I find it a great resource for behavior and world view. I find them valuable in understanding different demographics and predicting market and consumer behavior. Also this! Free, anonymous advice.

I don't know what you mean by "wacky" outdoor things. I think hiking and kayaking are quite "normal" outdoor activities, which I love. Would love more suggestions!

With the games and TV you mentioned, I think they appeal more to the "geeky" people. I have actually tried watching Dr. Who long time ago as a friend suggested, but I unfortunately just couldn't get into it. I celebrate people's differences, but unfortunately I can't usually become friends with the more "nerdy/geeky" crowd. Our world views and values are fundamentally different, and their conflicts do not usually result in constructive conversations, so I find them pointless.

Political news is actually great! Gives great insight on perspectives and thoughts on Washington policies. Also great for understanding and predicting market behavior. Dank memes are... well... dank. They are funny nonetheless. I should bring up memes on a first date.
