What is a "zero day"?

And where can I read more information (ie blogs) about not having them?...

I'm going to read books whether you think it's faux-intellectualism or not. I read books because I enjoy them, not to impress you or gain your approval.

By all means, do whatever you want. Play video games and fap for all anyone cares, just don't say "well all I want to do is play WoW, so this system sucks because WoW isn't a +1."

I don't need to pick and choose my activities from a pre-approved list. I'm doing stuff I enjoy, that potentially adds to conversations I have with friends and with strangers. If the system doesn't agree with my choices, the system is retarded.

I'm going to float around in space because it potentially adds to my coolness, and if gravity doesn't agree with that, gravity is retarded.

You're doing stuff you enjoy, and the only thing I can tell it does based on this discussion is add to your pretentiousness. I've yet to see a branch of game that successfully uses upturned noses, and high-brow dickery to get laid. But if you can make it work...good for you.

Case closed. I don't even understand this discussion, to be honest. It started as a discussion as to what constituted a +1, and ended with you trying to get me to qualify myself to you. Gasp...people have different interests...wow....

Case closed/argument over/I win - gotta love these phrases that people drop in that, in their mind, defines the end of an argument they've "won," but in everyone else's mind says "I've run out of an ability to adequately defend my position so I'm going to try to call this game at halftime before my opponent runs up the score."

Once again, nobody ever said that people didn't have different interests, and your attempt to strawman this system - again - with a beta's sarcasm doesn't make it so. The system is really simple: things that improve you are a +1, things that don't are a -1. Note: it says things that improve you, not things that you like. Because - once again - we all have interests that don't improve us. The concept (and I can't believe I'm having to explain this to someone who still thinks they're intelligent) is that every day you do a positive balance of things that actually improve you not just solitary things that you like.

You're arguing that books don't improve a person, so yeah, I'm not going to put very much effort into arguing with you, because that's foolish on its face.

This conversation adds nothing to my life and isn't worth my time. Nice try trying to equate reading books with "fapping and playing video games" but that's false equivalency and not what we're talking about.

Books improve a person. That's a fact. Arguing on the internet is the real time waster, so fuck off with calling me pretentious because I like to read. If your ONLY goal is to get laid ("I've yet to see a branch of game that successfully uses upturned noses, and high-brow dickery to get laid.") then yeah maybe you don't have time to read a book. But if your goal is to lead a kickass and complex life, then maybe stop being a douchebro and pick up some Heinlein.
