  • I would hate to know the total hours of my life spent playing computer games :)

      My playstation not only keeps track of the days and times I save files, but also (at least in some games) how long I have been playing the game so far (in real life time: like all the Jak/Dakster games for example). The numbers boggle my mind and really are frightening, and that is only a mere pittance of games I have played; many many other games have sucked up waaaaay more of my time in the past.
  • and then there's sex.

    Probably more in the latter category, if you count fore and after play.

    If you throw in the talking parts too, that would make Sims a distant third.

    Oh, but that's not during work (which sometimes starts at 7:45 am and ends sometime after 6 pm), so does it count?

    That and WashPost blogging and PI blogging and Stranger slogging.
    • Wait wait wait; you are counting SEX as wasted time?


      I bet you count breathing and eating as wasted time too dontchya?? Unless of course this is sex in the Sims game?

      • No, it's not productive.

        Well, unless the birth control fails, that is.

        I thought the question was "non-productive".
        • Well, I don't know about anyone else, but during sex (at least GOOD sex), I am *very* "productive."

          100% Quality Time, baby.

          ....Bethanie....
          • Well, I was using the classical economic definition of "productive".

            I mean, on that scale, I'm less productive, in that it frequently takes anywhere from half an hour to two hours to "have sex". I understand most men seem to err on the 5 to 10 minute side, so technically, they're more "productive".

            Not that I've had complaints from the consumer side of the transaction, if you will. Perhaps quality is it's own reward - it certainly seems like it from my viewpoint.

            See, I could have been coding during that ti
            • Dude. Your priorities are completely fucked.

              Or not, as the case may be.

              ....Bethanie....
              • No, my priorities don't match the most "efficient" use of my time.

                Is it efficient to savor a good roast with a glass of red wine? Probably not.

                Is it efficient to give up sleep to have more sex? Probably not.

                Is it efficient to ... um, I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy, my girlfriend was over last night and ... well ...

                Hey, I never claimed to be efficient. Just happy.
      • Eating is a waste of time if you have no sense of smell and therefore a very limited palate. You gain almost no enjoyment from it, and (at least in my case) only eat enough to not be hungry.
  • It's fun to go drink beer, but as an activity at the same time two days a week it's been eating away at my free time. I could be posting trollish comments on /. FFSMS (for flying spaghetti monster's sake.)
