So… let’s keep this in the context of the general population.
There seems to be a subset of perfectly well adjusted able bodied healthy adults that complain about anything that distracts them from video games.
I think that’s a problem.
How about you?
No, those are imaginary people you made up to complain about. And if you act on the existence of those fake people, you'll harm actual people.
Why am I getting the feeling that the only people you acknowledge as actual are disabled?
Projection.
In case you’re worried: you deserve to be alive.
It's really hard to actually accept that as a capitalist's opinion. Liberals tend to say all kinds of nice things, and then turn around and pass policies that completely contradict that. Like, y'all say I deserve to live and then you don't implement a UBI. It's like you're lying to yourselves that you're actually nice people.
I personally would support UBI.
Promise.
Even knowing the lazy gamers you believe in would use it to play video games all day if they existed? Big if true.
What do you feel gives a person the greatest feelings of true contentment, confidence, and achievement?
You mean at once? Heroin and cocaine. Over a lifetime? Good health, useful work, kind deeds, meaningful relationships, safety, self-determination, knowledge, and fun.
