        Why would anyone want to waste their life working for any of these exploitive cunts. I’d much rather play video games.

          That does make sense considering every other developed country has free healthcare and literally 100% of their young men spend every waking hour playing video games.

          It also makes sense considering I eat Prozac for dinner and live under a shelter made of BandAids

            *Used to get free healthcare.

            Dunno how it is where you are, but bulk billing GPs just don't exist anymore in SA.

            It's getting harder but they are there.
            But hey, if I break my leg and go to ER at a public hospital, even though I have to wait a shit load of hours, I won't pay anything when I walk out.

                It’s not just a shitty disease…. It’s a shitty disease that the Social Security Administration really, REALLY does not like to pay out disability for. Mostly because, unless something has changed recently, it’s hard to prove that you actually have it because it defies easily quantifiable medical testing, among other things.

                So, it would be a curse on multiple levels!

                its not well recognized disease, and cant really be detected in tests, is subjective symptoms.

                    Can confirm. Here in Canada, nobody works. We all sit at home and play video games instead. There's no industry, no shops, no hospitals. Only video games.

                      I pay $60 (or whatever), pay for my data connection, and get to play my game literally for years. It’s one of the cheapest forms of entertainment around. I get tons of value out of my purchase, it reduces stress, I get a sense of challenge out of it, and for the amount I spent I get a lot pf return.

                      Now if only health care were free. That’s just a bullshit statement and not even worth responding to. That said, In its current state it’s the opposite of video games. It’s expensive. The amount you put in is often not what you get out. It’s stressful.

                      Maybe the only way it’s like games is that someone can pull the plug on you when it’s not profitable anymore.

                      Right? I feel bad that it's beautiful outside and we're all inside playing games and streaming TV, but every time we leave the house as a family, it ends up costing me at least $100.

                        What's an enormous brain he has, it's amazing that it fits in his itty bitty head.

                        So living in the UK which has free healthcare I can tell everybody that it's super easy to do this.

                        Obviously I don't have a job so I can't afford food, so I just starve myself until I nearly die, and then the NHS turn up and put me in one of those pokeball rehabilitation things and I'm good to go.

                              I heard golden carrots are the best at that, which you can get from the farmer for the low price of 1-2 emeralds.

                                    Exactly.

                                    Even before computers, we Indians were happily playing Chess until Mughals invaded us.

                                    And then we showed them Chess, got them hooked, and then Brits invaded us.

                                        Once again, we have lawmakers just making spurious if not outright false statements with no repercussions. When your words decide people's reality, you should be afraid of what you say. And I don't see that fear in legislators.

                                        They just say whatever the fuck incorrect bullshit they wish, and walk it back at their leisure when the effect is already resolved in throughout news media. The world's gotten their soundclip, the base started foaming when they heard their whistles, and then the politican quietly amends "oh, I obviously didn't mean that." If more politicans shut the fuck up because they were scared of the repercussions of walking their statements back, then maybe there'd be more reporting on what they've done then the inflammatorily idiotic shit they spew every other day.

                                          His job is to spread lies and fear, so no reason for him to say something different, if he would know reality...
