so I caught myself browsing pokecommunity during class yesterday. a class I am paying a lot of money for. for a brief moment in time I was more interested in reading posts from a bunch of frothy ex pokemon players than my own damn chosen profession. what has my life come to

do you guys ever go on pc outside of home? maybe at school? while you travel? on the toilet? you disgust me

and remember, all posts containing "it depends" will be fed to the dogs

I try to get on PC while at work. But fast food doesn't really... it doesn't really work about 95% of the time. The few times I have successfully got on PC, browsed for something of interest, read new posts and then typed up my own post it's been like 3 or 4 hours. Doesn't work well. I don't really like getting on PC while out regardless. I just have an ipod/iphone and reading stuff on the screen for too long or while trying to do something else just makes me nauseated.

I hardly ever get on PC outside of my apartment. Mainly because I don't have a smartphone, but also because most of the time when I'm out, it's either because of work or I'm hanging out with friends. Both require my attention, so I don't even think about getting on PC.

I do go on PC at an internet cafe, which I do have to rely on if my computer has to go into servicing. It also means I browse PC in invisible mode at the time, because of me having limited access.

I get on PC pretty much everywhere. When I'm in the car, when I'm in class, when I'm going between classes. Although a lot of times I'm just reading and browsing.

I think lately because of the GT skype chat I'm more there than I am on PC the few weeks.

When I'm on PC it's on my iphone 95% of the time haha. I work in three different buildings and when I move between them I often flick through Instagram or PC or Skype and such. Also in the lab sometimes I just have to stand around and watch things react and... I'm not the only person there who relies on their smartphone to not get bored out of my mind then x) also I travel between cities for work and home, and that's around 2 hours every day when I typically browse the internet or watch videos. So yeah, visiting PC mostly happens outside of home xD

I rarely do this, if at all. It's too much of a hassle to find wifi on my iPad. Not only that, I have a hard time using PC on my phone. I'm just not very good at getting around it. :c I have gotten on PC once when my dad had an appointment at the VA, but it was ages ago lol.

I take that back actually. I have gotten on PC when I'm at my hotel for my anime convention every year. That counts as being away from home, right? It's probably the only time I ever get on when I'm not home.

I usually check PC when I'm not in class or whenever things are quiet around my friends and we aren't doing much such as during our mall meetups. I've also browsed on PC when I was working and the flow was slow.

Happy I am not the only one to notice this

Anyways, I rarely do this unless it's from my phone or I brought my laptop with me. I just have never liked the idea of doing personal things on shared computers or even on another person's internet connection. I feel like I am being watched D:

yes, when I'm sat on the bus or waiting for things to happen at work or whatever I might come online. under the proviso that I have some other tab to switch to very quickly to make it look like I'm not on a pokémon forum at the age of 21 should someone come over, though

I don't really go on any website when I'm out. I always have other things to do and that keeps me occupied enough.

Really, if I can take my tablet elsewhere, and that elsewhere has internet, then more than likely I am going to try to access PC at some point or anything. Someone else's house, a hotel...yeah, doesn't matter, as long as there's internet.

I tried an airport once, but alas, no wifi that I was willing to use. :'(

I actually did used to get on PC back in college during classes. Although I used a skin that would draw the least amount of attention to this being a pokemon forum (I used some kind of pokelink theme, that's all I remember), and I wouldn't browse it or really any other site if I knew someone was looking in my direction, but yeah.

(Also it was mostly during a graphic design class that I did so, I don't think the teacher even cared if we browsed the internet as long as we did our work, and I did my work there.)

I used to go on PC when I was still in school, and I check it during work soooometimes, but I'm exclusively on my phone when I'm not actually sitting at my desktop, and that's kind of a big hassle with forums. If I had a tablet I most certainly would take advantage of it, but no luck with that so far.

I used to go on PC during my lunch break at work, especially when I didn't feel like reading whatever book I had with me at the time and wanted to look too busy to talk to people.

Only changed the skin to the mobile skin on my small smart phone, to minimize loading times. If I'm on PC on my tablet, I still use the same skin. I don't really care if people see me on a Pokemon forum.
