Zeus 08/24/17 3:16:07 AM #4:	Well, that's a lot of text. I skimmed over it, but I think I got the salient points. Yes, I enjoy posting on Gamefaqs which is why I keep doing it. Yes, I also recognize that it's broadly a waste of time (because of a lack of permanency, etc) which is why there were plenty of times when I did a lot less of it. Ultimately, when you really stop to consider it, most things have no value in terms of time. For instance, I've been playing Pokemon Go fairly heavily for a few months now. Eventually the servers will close and the game will vanish, at which point I'll have nothing except the memories. Does that mean I either shouldn't play Pokemon Go or at least invest far less time into it? Perhaps. Or I could try to further optimize the time I play Pokemon Go by also listening to audiobooks. As it is, I do other stuff while posting on Gamefaqs, etc. (Granted, it's worth pointing out that multitasking is supposedly bad for the brain.) Boobsicle posted... And I haven't even begun on social media, which adds to the outrage culture but also I think amplifies people's insecurities and I think exacerbates many mental illnesses across the world. It's also done wonders to misinform and mislead people about politics, social issues, etc. Boobsicle posted... Now imagine this being introduced to your life in your very important early years where your mind is still a sponge. These kids are gonna grow up fucked up. Their brain that is meant for socializing with vocals and body language is gonna be warped in exchange for a better online presence. Not really true since even now people still use their voices and body language. It's rare to see kids texting each other at a table rather than talking to each other. Boobsicle posted... BTW Reddit is the worst online platform for any of the things I mentioned. Worse than 4chan/GameFAQS/Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat/etc. It is the most cancerous and toxic website for the human collective that exists. Yet I still go there lol. Yes, it's awful. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:885348664] in Do you enj... [t:75702872]...</cite> <quote>Well, that's a lot of text.
