Yup, that could also be said about music, cinema and any other form of art/entertainment/distraction. It doesn't produce anything "useful", but again, what is "useful" varies from one person to another. Some would say the waste of money is the point. You blow fireworks because you can.

Ultimately nothing matters because there is no true meaning of life, so anything that pulls you away from the dark nothingness of existence is good to take.

Counter argument: A tidy looking room makes me happier. Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time, ergo, making your bed is not wasted time.

If your house is the reflection of your mental state, then the other way around is also true.

Try "healthy food should not be a luxury".

I'm sure McDonalds would be glad to increase their bottom line by increasing the prices on their products, while giving none back to their hard working employees.

Cigarettes are more expensive than ever, yet people keep smoking. You don't fix a problem by beating on its victims.

Become me a waterbender. Or wolverine.

 

When you're at work, do you ever find yourself fantasizing and being hyper motivated about being home to continue THAT thing you're really excited about or should be doing. But then once you get home all motivation evaporates and you end up doing nothing and feeling guilty about it?

Okay, hear me out.

The opposite of a murder hobo is a young couple starting a family.
