Default Re: How many dollars we cost ourselves by reading 2+2 while playing?

i can't tell if you're kidding about the opportunity cost thing, but even if you were, i'm going to pretend you werent. people use opportunity cost only in terms of money. (this isn't directed at you, i'm just tired and felt like typing about this). For example, i think it was the psychology forum some guuy asked why he should bother returning rented movies anymore because it takes him 30 minutes to do, and it only costs him lets say $20 if he never returns it, so if he's earning $40 an hour or more why should he bother to ever return any videos? ok, i starrted talking about this and now i dont feel like finishing. But i thought that was a really freaking ridiculous example (oh the guy also claimed he shouuld never cook dinner because it takes him time and he can just order delivery). and he's not the only one i've seen use opportunity cost like a jackass.

Again, not that you did, it just reminded me.
