I guess for most people it was go to work/school for most people and then go out on the weekends just like today.

But what about people who didn't have full time jobs, retirees, etc.? Especially before something as simple as TV was invented. Must have been boring.

Drink, have sex, plot government takeovers.

Pretty much the same as today they were just dirtier.

Before TV people did more social activities. Ever notice a bunch of old people hanging out at McDonald's in the morning? That's the kind of shit people did.

Modern entertainment is all a scam to keep people quiet and complacent so they don't revolt against corporations and the government, which are all tied together. It keeps us from thinking too much and organizing.
