A COMPLETE Waste of Time

What about gambling a la poker then? ;)

That to me is a colossal waste of time (outside of the experience of hanging out with your friends or strangers) when you likely won't even end up winning any money. The time and money spent could have been better spent elsewhere.

Good thing about Vancouver is, you usually don't need to pay a lot to have good/great tasting food. A Michelin rated restaurant however is usually well worth spending the money to go experience. Same thing with buying a Ferrari over a Dacia, or wearing Tom Ford over George, or Bridgestone over Nexen.

And Keian, your 3 star experience you can replicate at the very comfort of your own home.

losing $20 over the course of 2 or 3 hours is different than $300+ over an hour. and not all of us lose money ;)

I enjoy fine dining and poker, so I have to say that neither is a waste of time because it is totally based on the eye of the beholder. The kicker is whether you see poker as gambling or just a game, but that's a totally different debate.

Poker as a game though - you spend $20, maybe a bit less, maybe a bit more, and you get to spend some time with friends while playing games that you enjoy. To me, it's kind of like plugging an arcade machine with quarters... I don't expect to get the quarters back, but I do expect some pleasure in return.

It's no different than spending $20 on a movie and some snacks, or spending a few hours in front of the TV watching fast cars go around the same track 50 times, or buying a video game for $60 for hours of gameplay. I don't find any of those a waste of time as it brings enjoyment, but I can see how it would be a waste of time to someone who doesn't see any pleasure value in it... but I wouldn't tell that person who enjoys it that it's a waste of time.

Just like the restaurant experience right? Some people might find it not very pleasurable, but obviously some people do because the restaurant industry in Vancouver is thriving. It's a choice people make on how to spend their time and money.
