waste of time and money

strong enough

Is it? Lot of stuff is a waste of time and money if you don't care for it. It doesn't mean you have a strong opinion about it. Like it could just mean you'd never spend your own time and money on it, but other people can if they want to. Since every recreational thing is a waste of time and money to someone who doesn't like it.

We're getting into a semantic and subjective argument here but I would say 'I don't like sports' or 'I don't care for it' is a basic/mild (negative) opinion.
IMO 'a waste of time and money' has some conviction to it.
Imagine someone saying that about something you personally care for?

i mean i do plenty of things that are wastes of time and moeny. What's wrong with that? We're hairless apes who like to do silly stuff.
