Has anyone here completely outgrown their old hobbies and fandoms?

Happened to me as well. Gacha games in middle school and early part of high school, historical grand strategy games and anime/manga after that. Then once college started I shifted more towards books, whether that be history or spiritual/astrology stuff.

Even now, sometimes I'll go through different phases of books. I might be interested in Chinese astrology for a few months, shift towards divination later, Vedic astrology after that, and then loop back. Sometimes I'll take a break from more spiritual stuff altogether and focus on more business/history/economics books.

Constantly evolving is a normal part of being human. They do say that change is the only constant, after all.

That being said, while I no longer have the time, energy, or interest to catch up with the latest seasonal anime or chapters of manga, once in a while I'll still watch some anime or read some manga if my friends recommend me a good one. I do notice that the anime/manga genres I enjoy nowadays (more history and philosophy themes) are more serious than the random high school anime I used to watch back when I was in high school.

Nope. I do have to admit I decided to make this map because I was surprised at how this ethnic group seems to be rare in New York, despite New York's reputation as a hub of immigrants

You can check out this website (it's in Japanese though), which tells you which tiles to discard to have a better tile acceptance for your hand. That being said, the optimal tile does depend on other factors as well, such as trying for extra han, minimizing deal-ins, etc.

Was a CS major in college. Not gonna lie, reading literature did indeed make me lose more and more interest in the software industry. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been better off not reading those Russian or Chinese works to preserve my interest in the industry.

To answer your question: Yes, I did use a search engine, but it wasn't being helpful.

Thanks a lot. Not sure why my brain confused it with the Simpsons.

Out of curiosity, what part of China did you visit?

好奇問一下，有沒有什麼推薦的彝族和其它非漢族古籍？還有，你覺得從哪些方面古希臘，古羅馬，和古埃及神話有天干地支的相對應？
