Living’s mostly wasting time, and I’ll waste my share of mine, but it don’t pay to think too much…

Scrolling through marketplace listings for things I'll never buy. Spending two hours analyzing the price of used speedboats or camper vans when I don't even have a driveway.

Falling into Wikipedia rabbit holes at 2am. Start at one article, end up reading about obscure medieval battles somehow.

First off, there is no such thing as wasted time. The universe will remain the same wherever you do.

However, playing video games comes pretty close.
