Honest question, what do they do for fun? It seems like basically every Western recreational activity is banned and their jihad is over, so how do these people occupy the time?

One pastime involves racing logs down the river that are being floated down... some of em don't make it. Crazy kids.

The Taliban instead enjoy singsongs, which are chants (by men) without music, about jihad or this or that, you know.
