I love the “subtle” implication that free time is a synonym for idleness. Not to cast aspersions on idleness, being idle is my jam, but when normal people use the term free time, they mean any self-directed time. Time to do things that they want to do how they want to do them, in obvious contrast to time at work.

Do not, my friends, become addicted to having free time, it will take ahold of you and you will resent it’s absence!
(I’ve definitely done this bit before but blame the media for constantly having literal Immortan Joe takes)
I’ve worked with a lot of animals. They spend like 3 hours a day tops looking for food. The rest of it they spend relaxing or playing.
Our lives are unnaturally work heavy for mammals, we currently live more like hive insects.
“If all the day were playing holidays, to play would be as tedious as to work”
Uhh, no Shakespeare, I’ve got like 50 better and more useful things to spend labour on instead of troubleshooting this crap e-commerce implementation.
I switched Jobs at work and went from 50-60 hours a week to 40. Now that I’m no longer exhausted all the time, I have time to be depressed in my off hours instead of them not existing at all.
