    Is it lazy....

    ....to grab all the groceries from your car at once to save a trip going back out to the car?

    On the one hand, you're trying make as few trips as possible which seems lazy, but on the other hand, you're willing to carry as much as you possibly can which seems not lazy.

    To me it seems more like 'efficient' than lazy. Work smarter not harder. Or in this case more like... work harder, not longer ^^

    Never underestimate how hard lazy people will work to avoid doing something. >.>

    Lazy would be taking out only the stuff that needs to be refrigerated or used that day.

    In some states that's a felony.

    When I was younger i designed a whole mock religion based on laziness being the prime virtue.

    Grabbing all the groceries in one-trip falls along the line of a concept called "misplaced effort".... putting more effort into being lazy than it would be just to do the thing you're trying to avoid.

    Interesting.....however.....in my trip from car to kitchen, there's a 3 step stair into my door. Every trip, exponentially increase the amount fo stairs you must traverse.

    Also, in regards to your religion....that seems like it took a lot of effort......

    Efficient.
    And the possibility of tripping on thise stairs increase with more trips...(o see that)

    No it doesn’t. Look up exponential.
    I mean, no i used it correctly. Grats on being THAT guy though.

    Use exponentially when you want to say that something's increasing quickly by large amounts. Your friends and colleagues will be pleased to hear that your vocabulary is growing exponentially.

    I literally just gave you a fucking definition. Jesus fucking christ.

    You, trying to impress people, think there's one definition. There isn't. Learn things, before you act like a douche. For fuck's sake I was trying to have a fun conversation with no stakes, and you had to waltz in, be an ass, get objectively proven wrong, and you still double down.

    Well, this is a weird thread.

    No, I don't think that's lazy. Or, well, I suppose it might depend a little bit, but I'd say it's a matter of efficiency or smartness, rather than laziness. I suppose you could do the opposite and carry 1 item at a time, but nobody is going to compliment you on how hard-working you are. They'd call you a spaz, and rightfully so.

    But it was all misplaced effort...and therefore good :P

    No it didn't. You're wrong and objectively so. Just go away. This is pathetic.

    Best just to ignore Vegas when he gets like this. This is a hill he is willing to die on.

    Do whatever is necessary to get all the groceries in the house in one trip. There should be Purge-like anything goes laws to protect you from the consequences of having to go back out to the car. Worse than death.

    I once carried my two children, my purse, dozen or so bags, a 24 case of canned tomatoes, and my daughter's backpack.

    I don't know where the strength came from, but I knew if it was one of my kids or a trip back I would have a Sophie's Choice moment potentially. I'll make more babies, but not going back for those tomatoes.

    Anything to avoid that second trip.

    Not according to you they don't. Following your bullshit, words have meaning. Singular. And its whatever meaning you queefed into existence. And you'll argue it, without proof, even though proof was provided showing you're full of shit.

    Exponential growth is a process that increases quantity over time. It occurs when the instantaneous rate of change of a quantity with respect to time is proportional to the quantity itself.

    Sorry, it’s not exponential.
    You can keep repeating the same definition over and over and over. It doesn't;t mean the actual definition I posted is a figment of imagination.

    Have the nuts to admit you're wrong. I have proven it.

    No.

    Besides the fact that you're arguing purely on subjective buillshit, you are making up numbers because you're a coward.

    You said the word was used incorrectly. I provided proof it is not.

    You've spewed shit, and when it that wasn't working, you decided to use subjective stupidity. All because you willingly had to be an asshole and then be too much of a coward to admit you're wrong.

    Just go away. You can have the last word.
