mewyeon Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Well, I guess it depends. If I can still do meaningful work, then I would happily never go to school again. But then you said 'no working' so....I'm not really sure. I guess you could still be doing volunteer or charity work. Does that count? :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Hard to answer. As much as I like learning new things, some aspects of my work aren't much of a learning experience. Now if housework would do itself forever that would be fucking sweet. Edited December 18, 2013 by Woodshooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Nah. Fuck, if I had infinite money and no responsibilities I would take SO many liberal arts classes. I'd take all those CS electives I don't have time to take to graduate on time myself personally since running out of scholarship after 4 years is no longer a concern There's enough electives I want to take for another entire semester based on cs classes alone I could also go get that digital arts minor alas Edited December 19, 2013 by Thor Odinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 According to a research, not doing anything makes it easier for the brain to decay Or something like that No Also I happen to enjoy doing stuff, even though people around me might think I am lazy(mostly thanks to my lack of expression during works and study tbh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interest Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) New question! I don't know how many people caught on to this from current events, but recently there was a bomb threat at Harvard University during finals week. According to one article, the person who made the threat was doing it to get out of doing his final exams. Given the information above, this brings me to today's question: What are your thoughts on the Harvard bomb threat? Personally I think it's pretty serious stuff especially given the Boston bombings earlier in the year. What really caught my attention, however, was the motive for issuing the threat to begin with. While I'm not a fan of doing exams, this seems like a very extreme move to make to get out of doing some exams that I'm sure students would have to make up at some point anyways. I guess it's also worth pointing out that given that this news has been a large source of coverage over the last couple days, I hope it won't persist too long on the national level. While it's serious, the news media tend to drag out big stories like this way too long in my opinion.

Interest Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 New question! What do you think is the largest source of financial waste? Why? You can either choose to define the source of financial waste on a personal level or a general level of sorts. The concept of what you believe is a "financial waste" is also open for interpretation (so for instance you can say the U.S. national debt is a good argument that the U.S. government is wasting money). For instance, what I believe is a financial waste is the act of purchasing something but having it go to minimal end The result of this is mostly excessive consumer activity, an act of buying goods, but a majority of them end up being unused or barely used and possibly hoarded or thrown out. I share this issue to a point, though I try my best to reduce it as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Personal: Eating out as opposed to cooking. On a bigger scale: Uhh. . .don't feel like explaining how large-scale allotment works, but it's bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 My biggest expenditure is easily eating out, I think Eclipse is probably right on the money for the majority of consumers. It's commonly-stated that we are well-educated and rational in a capitalist environment, but at least when applied to decisions made in the long-term many fail to meet such a label by any realistic standard. Why not get a coffee every morning? It's just two bucks a day. Five times a week, fifty-two weeks a year. Half a grand in coffee alone. We all have some weak budget for entertainment goods that are more expensive, after all hammering away at your money in sixty dollar increments is obviously bad. But little three dollar taps go relatively unnoticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
