kthxbye
So according to you, if someone spends < 2 hours/day on "there hobbie", then they're not a loser. But if they spend < 3 hours/day (2.85 hours/day or 20 hours a week to be exact) they're a "loser".
Hence, someone could spend 2.71 hours/day on a hobby a week (19 hours), but once they hit 2.85, they officially reach Gigapet "loser" status.
Rich.
wow you are being way to literal and scientific over something that has no scientific measurment. First of all if you are doing a hobbie 20 hours a week or more....you are a full on enthusiast and you should probably be making some money off it at that point making it somewhat of a partime job.
games and tv just dont give you kind of benefit....like the more you watch or play the less valuable you are. Where as if i was to collect stamps for 20 hours a week. Chances are by the ned of the year my collection might actually be worth money to me. If I was to build model plains everyday for 2+ hours .....I would have enough knowledge about them to perhaps design my own kits and sell them or ebay the models i put together....etc....
there is just no return on video games or tv. Possibly with exception of watching discover or TLC only in hopes one day you can win 49 consecutive jeopardy compeitions.
is this starting to make sense yet?
My reference is to the fact that you said someone is a loser if they partake in a hobby for 20 or more hours a week. Yet, someone who partakes in a hobby (including video games) for 10 hours is not a loser. This logic is out of your own mouth.
Why should someone get paid to do something for a hobby that requires 20 hours a week? Should I get paid for going to karate class for 2.5 hours a day? What monetary return do I get out of karate other than the fact that I can beat people down and have fun doing it? I have no desire to teach it and earn money, I do it for fun.
Let's explore the definition of hobby:
hob·by1 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hb)
n. pl. hob·bies
An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure.
Pleasure. Ask someone to define pleasure. Only elitists think their pleasure > other people's pleasure and call them losers for it.
