    Have you tried just eating food? Every time I do that in games it heals me. 😛

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

        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 does make sense because I break my legs regularly playing video games, putting a huge strain on public healthcare.

          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.

          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...

                        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!

                        I’m familiar with it. I have (“had” actually) family with it. Just trying to understand if OP was referencing something in particular.

                        It sounds like OP was cursing this guy with the disease they have. So not random then.

                                working where exactly? working on a farm that will pay you minimum wage, if that? oh OH I know working in the tech sector where it's now and has been for the past couple years an absolute nightmare to find a job in.

                                There are NO jobs out there that will pay for the current cost of living and the ones that COULD aren't hiring, and if anything, are laying people off. And yeah, these unemployed young men are TOTALLY playing videogames that now cost $80 a pop paid via a job they don't have.

                                  And? What's the problem with that? In an ideal society with present technology we can afford to feed and house literally everyone. Let artificial scarcity rule you no longer. Let the people play games, and when 'work'is no longer, the obligation of wages they wil do it willingly, happily, and with enjoyment. Or at least wnough of us will to feed all.

                                  So what if some get fed more than they work? I like helping people. We should have plenty to spare without the parasite class.

                                  With the caveat that we can accommodate everyone so long as sufficient people put in their fair share of effort. In an ideal world that will mean very short working hours and/or nicely early retirement/late entry into the work force.

                                  Certainly the usual talking heads are spoiled rich guys that have never known labor and have not done their fair share, but it is a difficult thing to balance to make sure we do take care of each other but make sure enough people are engaged to successfully do that
