Depends how you value your time

Every person's time is at least worth the minimum wage.

No, time is just a made up concept to sell clocks

Einstein was once asked "what is time?", to which he responded "what you measure with a clock" indicating the operational nature of time. Perhaps he was actually indicating the conspiracy of "big clock" instead.

Big Clock at it again

But if you bitch about minimum wage on Reddit, does that mean your time is worth more?

u/SeanHaz Feb 15 '24

That's not true, many people are not worth minimum wage.

A minimum wage means people who are worth less than that are priced out of the market.

(The obvious example is people with disabilities but it's not only those with disabilities)

Looks like time well spent. No worse than completing a puzzle with someone you enjoy spending time with.

Looks like a good date night to me.

You must go on terrible dates. This is a mind-numbing chore.

u/mermetermaid Feb 15 '24

Ahh, but this is relying on the activity to bring the entertainment! If you’re with someone you get along with, it could be fun!

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '24

Obviously he isn’t someone fun to be around or get along with

u/MentallyLatent Feb 15 '24

could be fun, imagine doing something actually fun with someone you get along with

u/mermetermaid Feb 15 '24

Oh, I agree- there are other more entertaining activities, but the idea of making something which will be a prominent part of my home alongside my partner also sounds sweet and fun, but I like projects and art so this is up my alley. I do see the appeal of more fun dates, I promise 😆

If you're with good friends you could have fun just throwing rocks at each other. Good friends are rad

Fr people commenting negative have no internal joy lmao.

Happiness is external, but joy comes from within.

I don’t need shiny lights, and fancy dated to enjoy time with someone I like.

Something as “mundane” as this, also gives more room for sharing stories, having deep talks, etc. while the mind goes blank, doing the chore, it allows the free flowing thoughts to come out. It’s the opposite of an entertaining distraction.

I bet they’d rather go on a movie date.

Mind numbing chore? My adhd brain is tingling at the thought of being kept busy for hours on end.

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '24

It’s almost like different people have different concepts of fun, who woulda knew?

2

u/Foilpalm Feb 15 '24

I’d watch paint dry if it was with the right person.

u/gummo_for_prez Feb 15 '24

This looks like a good date to you? Are you serious?

2

u/DazzlingFruit7495 Feb 15 '24

I like doing stuff like this. Working with my hands but it’s fairly mindless. And then u can jus talk and play music

u/Jiannies Feb 15 '24

"so where do you plan on taking me for our first date? is that a sack of pennies?"

3

u/DazzlingFruit7495 Feb 15 '24

Lmfao not a first date but with a person I’m already dating? Sure.

u/Jiannies Feb 15 '24

lmao I get you it was just a hilarious image

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '24

I promise you that with the amount of bitching about pay on Reddit, people value their time a lot more than it’s worth or they would be doing something to make it more valuable

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '24

we earn so little nowadays, any long hobby is worth our time now

u/dryfire Feb 15 '24

Well, I'm on reddit. So..
