The Internet is a time waster. How long before the Amish take control and shut this mother fucker down.

I had to have spent over 10,000 hours on this thing. Just imagine all of the productive things I could have done instead of wasting time online.

I have 22940 posts on GAF. 23394 here. About 20k on combined previous incarnations of GAF (for this example I will low ball it and say 10k). Assuming that on average, each post contains about 10 words (there have been single word lol posts and long diatribes over the years), that is 563,340 words, which is about the equivalent of 5-6 novels of average to above-average length.

while talking to my shrink, I came up with that exact same number four weeks ago. I was thinking about it because of the 10,000 rule

She just shrugged and told me people watched that much television, if not more.

That wasn't helpful.

TVC15 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 17, 2009, 08:55:02 PM »

Oh god, I have far far far broken that 10,000 number. I can't be separated from the internet for very long. The rise of 3G has turned me into a complete and total junkie.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #7 on:** January 17, 2009, 08:58:05 PM »

10,000 was a conservative number.

What a waste.

The internet hasn't been good to me lately.

A lot of it can be allocated to downtime if that makes you feel any better. That's how I consul myself.

Yes I'm sure there is a mistake in there. STFU!

you'd just find some other way to waste your time, so don't feel so bad

in my day before the internet, we rolled tires around with sticks

Holy shit, I haven't heard of this website before and it looks really awesome. *bookmarks*

Oh, and it says I've spent eight and a half hours on Evilbore alone in the week I have my account. Probably inflated since I'm not on here all day (and often have tabs of eb open for long periods of time without actually reading them), but still. I've been tracking how long I use Firefox every day with an extension and as of 8PM it says 4:43:xx. Sigh.

The internet rocks, though.

This has always bugged me, but are we considered addicts?

how do I know if I am or not? Internet addiction was a pretty hot topic a while back, I don't hear about it as much anymore.

:'( yeah

wait your a virgin too!

also it's been so long for malek that I think we sould give him his v-card back so he can join the EB competition.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #17 on:** January 17, 2009, 10:10:31 PM »

good lord I'm pathetic

I've cut down on my EB posting recently but it's still not enough. There are more constructive things I could be doing. I kinda want to join a hip hop blog or website and write articles/review albums/etc.

I waste a lot of time on the internet visiting the same sites over and over again in hopes that they update.

This is exactly what I do. It's pitiful. *refreshes EB*

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #22 on:** January 17, 2009, 11:46:48 PM »

I was just without the internets for about a week and a half, and let me tell you, that sure sucked balls. I was more productive for like three days but then I just started fucking around in Fallout 3 and taking lots of naps.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #23 on:** January 18, 2009, 03:33:18 PM »

It's unlikely that I would have ever seen a horse penis, let alone see one in action, without the Internet.
