A video game addiction is a very real thing. If the context had been that he was developing some dangerous habits, that'd be different.
I would be fascinated by a formal study in this field. Honestly, as an asexual person, I'm usually pretty quick to dismiss sexual psychology. But this seems like it has teeth.
This is begging to be turned into a primary school classroom poster. "Reading turns your world upside down!"
Could go into a philosophical debate about the illusion of free choice here. But long answer short, brainwashing and social conditioning are very, very hard to break. Religious trauma wouldn't be an entire specialty of cognitive behavioral therapy if it were like swapping to skim milk.
Honestly, I don't get racists. How can you be mad that variety exists? I found out we had cousins that went extinct tens of thousands of years before our civilization even thought of banging rocks together, and I thought, "We almost had Hobbits?! We got robbed!!"
What. The. Fuck.
Wow.
Right, so this guy officially is fair game for Nazi-punching.
For such a "straight" guy, he sure does dress like he's going out to paint the town at a gay bar.

Fourth-most important city is the one geographically closest to you. For all others, it's DC.
Speaking as someone who has major depressive disorder, we are slaves to the hormones in our brains. You can't think your way out of a broken emotional response. You either ride it out and live long enough to get on medication, or you don't. It's just as serious, and as deadly, as diabetes or heart failure in some people.
Like avoiding sugar when you are diabetic, people with severe mental illnesses should avoid chatbots. Unfortunately, neither sugar nor chatbots are regulated, because both are subtly addictive to a normal person and deadly to an ill person.
Hi, cinema nerd here. Both are hard work, and both are still art. What I think it really comes down to is the art style, and the actors' response and training.
CG-effects tend to force actors to imagine two very different things when they interact, leading them to ignore or otherwise misinterpret things the audience will see. While for some, depending on their training, this can be fairly natural (stage players have to interact with imaginary scenery all the time), film actors tend to expect costars and sets they can see and touch, and this does affect the way they act in small ways.
What CG really helps with is it alleviates the burden on suited actors. Wearing a big bulky monster costume is a thing of the past for many lucky stunt actors, now that complex and difficult scenes that might require multiple takes can be done by a dude in a leotard and stilts instead of 80 lbs of yak hair.
I will say, I am absolutely thrilled to see movies like the Mandalorian and Project Hail Mary making puppetry mainstream again. I love love love puppets.
