Oh, great.  Like I needed another way to waste time.

It's a link to a free internet comic about cats. How does that make you spend money?

Nope, although time spent obsessively reading all the comics does tend to equate to lost money.   :D

Good to know that you consider your time worthless.
More seriously, even free games have cost. Your time, that you could spend on something else. Work, or different game, or whatever. In this sense, everything can have value.

The worst way to waste time is to spend it thinking about how you waste time.
