I overnighted a $1200 laptop so that I could switch out my training queue while I'll be gone this weekend. My old laptop is just that, has Linux, and wasn't really capable of running eve before they made it all fancy and ****.

I mean, it's not like it's the ONLY reason I bought the thing....but still, the final straw was needing to adjust my training queue.

Is this a sign of trouble?

For only $5 per person you can provide children with fresh water.

Yeah, well in 10 years this laptop will help several families on some Chinese river get their recommended daily dose of mercury and selenium so...it all balances out in the end.

This weekend I spent £500 upgrading my computer on bits that were in no way REALLY needed and are just nice to have. The only thing my £1600 PC is used for is to run Eve (I play no other game). I look at EvE as a hobby, not a game. And it's Ok to spend crazy money on a hobby Lol Trust me, you're not alone!

How ? I mean you give five dollars / and illusionary picture of your time spent in servitude / to some "company" which will pay their employee for their servitude and buy some new buildings/architects to look cool, and some Audi A8s. And then if something is left they gonna sent an helicopter with fresh water to be poured from 2km height on poor people.

Well maybe i am just ****** up cynic.

To answer the question .. no depend how much time in slavery you had to be to earn that money.

Slavery = following society rules.

Hell you earn the money, you figure out what is important to you, that you want to spend it on. Jobs are just ways of shortening the fun times in life. So enjoy the rest of life:)

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Or you can save five dollars and let natural selection take its course.

Does that make me a monster?
