The best and worst ways to spend your time

TheQuestioner November 12, 2020 at 16:41 2725 views 5 comments
After thoroughly reviewing all the available options, I have determined that these are the best ways to spend your time:
1. Masturbation (not more than 4 times a week): No STD's, no accusations of nonconsensuality, and (to quote Mickey Rooney) the reason we pay prostitutes is so they will leave afterwards.
2. Online poker: You have more control over the outcome than the stock market, and more moments of ecstasy.

The worst ways to spend your time are:
1. Ambition: Much time is wasted by those who follow the "winners never quit" philosophy. Smart people know when to quit.
2. Pursuing a relationship: Online dating sucks, and there is a reason that more than half of all marriages end in divorce: men and women were not created to get along together. Have a relationship with Pornhub instead, they won't take half your money.

Is that really a question that you would like others to answer, or just you lazy, cheap, wanker personality spilling out? :lol:

I would guess you are in your early twenties, live in a reasonable size city, have a boring no future job or studying something with the same prospect and are addicted to the internet.

One of the best ways to spend your time would to do some reading, another might be to do some outdoor exercise. Having an interesting job is a great way to pass time.

Bad ways to spend time would be what you call good time, self pleasuring.

I can affirm - from experience - that the worst way to spend your days is as a prisoner of the past. Memories, regrets, victories and defeats. Martin Heidegger was right in stating that we - humanity - are Beings only and exclusively in Time. It is an intriguing relationship, where all your evil and its purgatory can only be perceived thanks to life's inexplicable gift of - you - being able to perceive existence.

"The best days of your life, will be those where you won't even notice that you exist" - My Own, motivated by my ego.

Thank you very much for your question and answers.
The Questioner, a wise man. Thanks.

Right now, the best way to spend my time is to listen to Pisendel.. I don'y why. Afterwards, I don't know, but I will.

And battling the future that has yet to arrive -- one can be consumed anticipating the negative things that 'are' coming and thinking of ways to fight them. One could spend hours, days, or weeks thinking of how to deal with "impending" unemployment, for example, the uncertainty of the future, and forgoing the enjoyment of what's happening now, while bills are being paid, rent is secured, house is comfortable, and extra time to enjoy outdoor activities.

There is no cure for negative thoughts -- the best one can do is to let those thoughts go through the process of fermenting and subsiding. They will subside, but at different rates for everyone. Once you emerge from it, you will have a window of clarity and energy afforded to you. This window can last a long time or briefly -- but take advantage of this window to 1. work out or exercise (this is cumulative, like a bank account) 2. eat well ( those times you couldn't eat, you'd feel envious of others who could) 3. study or read up on something 4. earn money.
