>Before Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson was a household name in Wisconsin, he was the middle child of three, growing up in a tiny town in Kansas, trying to get through the list of farm chores as quickly as possible so he could play four sports year-round in high school.
>I used to go speak at schools for the Wisconsin Dairy Association, for a program trying to get kids to be active and eat healthy, and the first thing I’d ask was: How many of you play video games? And all the kids would get all excited and raise their hands. And I say … that is the incorrect answer.
>Get off the video games and go play outside.
>I did not have video games. Ever. I grew up on a farm, so we were either working – or playing outside. Any sport.
>The problem with kids these days is that so many are out of shape and socially unhinged because all they do is sit at home playing video games and surfing the web. Instead of spending time with friends, getting a girlfriend, playing sports, and whatnot they are slowly killing themselves with their addiction.

He is partly right, but I think a lot of food companies (note he speaks on behalf of the Wisconsin Dairy Association) are putting the blame for widespread obesity on a lack of exercise when in reality over-consumption of unhealthy food is the main cause.

Notably, school cafeterias across the country serve horribly unhealthy pizza with cheese sourced from Wisconsin.

in an alternate time line jordy nelson doesnt make the cut in the jump from highschool to college level, assuming he gets a scholarship at all, or he cant hack it at nfl level after getting drafted, assuming he gets drafted at all.

jordy, seeing his dreams shattered and his job prospects at zero, goes into a deep depression. while he was at college all his hillbilly friends got shitty jobs and pregnant GFs so he has no support network when he returns home, his friends being too busy dealing with the harsh reality of real life, as opposed to the life of a millionaire playboy athlete which he thought he was destined for.

Jordy becomes increasingly isolated and morose and eventually it comes as a surprise to no one, but a shock nonetheless to his family when they find him swinging from the rafters of his barn with a thick rope around his neck and stool knocked over on the floor nearby.

a suicide note found on a table in the barn reads i wish i played more videogames


the moral of the story is, not everyone can be an even decent sportsman, much less an elite level NFL wide receiver. Jordy should shut the fuck up and stop judging other people for how they spend their spare time, as if he was some kind of authority because hes some upjumped hillbilly who can run fast and catch good

He's retarded as a rock.

Not that he's fundamentally wrong but the way he's seeing things, saying things, and viewing things is stupid and pointless.

Things aren't as easy as "j-just go outside lol", many factors come into play and sometimes situations are quite complex and should be dealt with accordingly.

Over-simplification of someone else life is always the hallmark of stupidity, lack of knowledge and lack of insight. Like "just bee urself" or "just don't be depressed". Things like that.

>Stop playing video games

He isn't right, because not everybody is the same. If not for video games, I would have grown up to be some socially inept fuck that had absolutely zero contact with anybody outside of school. If anything I'd end up just reading books, or comics all day. Because we moved every 1-2 years, I was always the new kid that nobody gave a shit about, and my dad also hated me and took all his frustration and shit out on me, thus why I just spent all of my time in my room.

So, sure, Jordy, your advice works, for some kids. Not all. Shit isn't so fucking black and white. I got to communicate with others because of online games, where I wouldn't have at all.

It's a shitty advice, and again, the hallmark sign of lack of knowledge on the matter of the retard spouting it. Hence why teenagers, dudebros and rednecks are usually the ones throwing it around like shurikens.

There's ways to fight depression, but "not being depressed" is as useful as saying "just don't have cancer" to someone with a terminal astrocytoma.
>>
>>375802549
He is right, however you can do both. The difference is many children are not taught that video games can lead to addiction, and they're often used to placate and distract a child by the parent or the parent doesn't realize that addiction can happen. Truthfully video games are a great source of fun, but those who do not understand moderation are often turned into dysfunctional, socially awkward, and underachieving individuals. At least teach children the ability to be self aware their hobby is a potential addiction.

Fuck this. Go outside, but learn to appreciate and enjoy the beauties of nature. Do good things in your community. Meet people and have new experiences. Read books. Absorb information. Better yourself and become smarter.

Farm towns and people in small towns are poor as shit.

T. Someone who grew up similarly to Jordy Nelson.

Growing up in a rich coastal town offers a lot more opportunities and when you reach working age you can get a job and possibly move out. Small towns generally don't have a lot of job options and if you don't work for/on a family run farm you're sol. Not to mention nearest city with jobs is like 30 miles away, so you need a car to get a job, but you need a job to get a car.

I agree there are plenty of other ways to do so, but playing sports is one of the easiest ways to experience and grow your social behavior. You can obviously do other activities but sports often leads to friendships, romantic relationships or flirtations, and the experience of how to behave in a "normal" manner.

It is easy for him to say this since he lives in a White state and isn't overrrun with illegal aliens.

Telling someone to step outside in California is suicide since the state is overrun with niggers, spics, sandniggers, yellow niggers, kikes, illegals, gangs such as MS 13, libcucks, mentally ill "its" such as the lgbt, antifa, and has the biggest welfare state in the entire union that it might as well be a completely different country.

I know about that, actually. The state does rely on snow pack from the mountains and the climate may be changing and becoming dryer and warmer in years to come. Naturally this is a problem for them and our nation because arable land in California relies on that rainfall and if trends continue it could be detrimental in the long run. Worse for the state's residents for consuming water. But they do grow a not insignificant portion of this nation's produce.

That's the problem, you get enough money to live for doing nothing. They may ask you to look for a job but you can always send out random poorly-filled CVs and if you get called by some sort of miracle you can show up unshowered and pretend to be retarded.

I do hide on videogames, always did, they're mental work and I like that more than anything, but that mental work could have been actual work in something else.

Videogames aren't the cause but certainly don't help either young ones. It's like alcohol; even if you do ban it, misery and depression will still exist.

I know that if I hadn't videogames I would have gone bananas, apeshit many years ago anyways. Maybe going all out and angry at some things in life would force change, maybe it would make you only more miserable.

No. You're really only forced to socialize with people during certain periods of time.

Boot camp, and whatever your military calls their advanced training.

After that (especially in the US) it can literally become a 9-5 job where you come in, do your your job, go home. There are plenty of people who only talk their co workers when they are forced to.

I have to agree with you. This guy not only won the football lottery by making it to a pro team, he did it from the middle of fucktown Wisconsin.

Kids should definitely go outside more, but in this day and age, they're really not allowed to really do anything once they're out there. Not only are you now told to watch out for EVERYHING as kids, you're not even allowed to just walk to a friends house to play or ride bikes with because someone's parents are afraid of some random creep luring you into their van or some shit.

Kids are fucked in this era, not because of technology or entertainment, but stupid parents.

Depends on MANY things.

In the US, you only really have to live in the barracks for boot camp and advanced training (Less than one year for most people). But even then, once you're out of boot camp (8-10 weeks) you'll most likely have your own room with a shared common space, so where is the forced socializing?

Also if you're in some nerd field, like intelligence or comms or IT,.. do you really think A type jock personalities go into this field? So you're already having a field with more introverted people.
And once you reach a certain rank (Typically E3-E5, depends on several different things) you can live off base.

I only speak for the US military.

It's all about what do you consider to be successful in life. Everyone will judge you no matter what you do and there's going to be someone you couldn't ever please.

So many dwell in fear of doing what they actually like and shelter themselves in whatever they find comfortable. Books, drugs, videogames, TV, alcohol, even sex. Ne conscious about what you're doing and if it's taking you where you want to be.

If you want to be playing Persona 23 when you're sixty that's may be ok for you, just don't hurt other people.

so reverse your obesity. all it takes is a change of habits, which can admittedly be difficult to break, but it's certainly worth it.

This is the most harmful meme of modernity. People's opinions and judements of you do matter to a degree and ought to be taken in to account on some level.

So far desalination isn't working out on a large scale. As for water rights, that's also going to be a huge issue. Especially for the farmers who use it the most as it gets depleted.

It's going to affect us all if we cannot grow food as well without as much water.

As far as Korea or Russia is concerned. Russia probably won't be as big of a concern. Korea maybe, but they're the ones being told by China right now to essentially take cover. Recently the Chinese embassy told its Chinese-moot citizens to head home.

Why bother trying to fit into societal norms anymore? There's not enough reward in it. Just keeping healthy enough to live through your 60's/70's, working the bare minimum, and investing in your own happiness is the best thing you can do in today's society.

The next "proper" war won't even have a death toll >50k. Most of the US military power comes from our Airforce and Navy. We don't need to put boots on the ground when we can rain holy hellfire from halfway to the ISS with our Stealth Bombers.

Not to mention that the West is stuck in a permanent employer's market because of immigration not being limited severely. Employers aren't ever forced to offer better wages, conditions, hours, etc, because they can always find some immigrant who is willing to do the work for less, in shittier conditions, and live in squalor.

And if we fight for a minimum wage increase, all that'll happen is that even more people will be out of a job, and most fast food restaurants, retailers, and transportation sector companies will replace their employees with robots. You can't fight it, because the technology to replace the common man is already there, it's just too expensive at the moment. In my state, when the minimum wage jumped from $8.07 to $10, 30% of my coworkers got laid off, 8 new automated check-out stands were installed, and the remaining employees had their hours cut. I'm one of 4 employees that gets more than 30 hours a week, other than the managers/bosses. And when there is no one left to manage but the robots, they'll be fired as well.

That's because the gym either allows them to change their routine, have a spotter or they just wanna show off. It has nothing to do with the end result.

The whole point of going to the gym is so you know you have to commit. At home, you have so much distractions. It's kind of like when writers bring their laptop to a café. It's not because they're showing off being writers, it's because it keeps them from masturbating.

young shut ins have been a thing since the 60s. People forget you could order over the phone and could pay to get things like groceries and what not delivered to your door. The system went away because of the shut ins thinking it was encouraging them to not go out. After 4 decades we discovered some people just don't care and would rather die as a blob in their house.

He's wrong.

He's wrong because he blames it on the kids, and not the fucking parents who flip their shit and call the army when their kid goes any further than the front lawn because PEDOPHILES ARE EVERYWHERE! and make them wrap themselves up in fifty cubic fucking feet of bubble wrap before even looking at a bicycle, let alone climbing a fucking tree.

And even if they do go outside, some menopausal cunt comes fucking REEEEing out of the woodwork to yell at them for being kids, and the teachers cry fucking foul until the parents buckle and stick their kids on a handful of pills to make them lethargic because clearly something is wrong with a child if they don't want to sit in one goddamn seat for six hours out of the day and listen to some listless old fuck who probably hates them drone on about boring shit or, if they're beyond the event horizon of not giving a fuck anymore, just hands them photocopied pages of a workbook to fill in the blanks and answer the questions while they sit at their desk, drinking whiskey-laced coffee and try not to punch the most obnoxious little cunt in the room.

It's not like he's wrong, but he's not quite right. There's a lot going on that's part of the problem and I think blaming the internet and video games is a petty start. It's a cheap hobby to keep your kids 'safe'. It's even worse in an area of poverty.

I can keep going on. You can't blame it purely on video games. There's a lot of reasons why video games/internet became the thing that has their attention 24/7.

I grew up in a gang infested neighborhood of Chicago. I was encourage to stay inside rather than go outside mostly due to how easy a children were targeted to be recruited.

This.

I have similar circumstances. Been playing Vidya since the age of 5, always been my main timesink. I am confident, outgoing, live with my girlfriend and go to the gym.

Admittedly I was very introverted and shy as a teen and couldn't into relationships and attraction. After a while of being unhappy about it I decided to change that. The combination of regularly going out with my friends and working in retail built up my social skills and confidence. Video games didn't get in the way of that at all.

In the 1790 book Memoirs of the Bloomsgrove Family, on the topic of books, Reverend Enos Hitchcock wrote:
>The free access which many young people have to romances, novels, and plays has poisoned the mind and corrupted the morals of many a promising youth; and prevented others from improving their minds in useful knowledge. Parents take care to feed their children with wholesome diet; and yet how unconcerned about the provision for the mind, whether they are furnished with salutary food, or with trash, chaff, or poison?

If all you do is play vidya then yeah, I agree. It's not impossible to do both though. I grew up running around in the fields and woods with my friends, but vidya is just as important for me. I take a couple days each week to meet my friends and do all kinds of stuff (sports/drinking/other entertaining stuff), while I devote the rest to work and some vidya after each exhausting day. This sort of life is a great comfort zone that I don't see myself leaving anytime soon.

Videogames are one of the few things that stopped me from killing myself. For a very long time interacting with others brought me nothing but pain and suffering. Video games didn't socially unhinge me, other people did. I started playing games because I didn't want to be around other people and I eventually fell in love with them when I started to see how interesting they were. Without videogames I may have never been able to see the good in humanity. Back when I was off my rocker the only people that brought any joy into my life were the developers of my favorite games. Believe whatever you want, but I don't think games are inherently harmful in any way(perhaps aside from passionless corporate crap and political brainwashing dressed up as a game but the same goes for any artform), and the idea that games are "a shit tier hobby", "low-brow", or whatever other intellectual insult you can think up are disgusting and born only of being judgemental of others. These beliefs have no value to humanity, only to individuals.

>transgender boy
>it's a biological girl
>story is actually 'girl wins at girl's wrestling with performance enhancing hormones'

I get triggered by that article every time, because it represents literally everything wrong with modern society and news reporting in a condensed form.
Not only is it clickbait specifically tailored to ruse people who can't decypher PC-ified language, the story in of itself transgresses so many layers of doublethink that I'm not sure how society even works any more. Realize that the conservacuck opinion puts them on the tranny's side, meanwhile the libcucks are saying the he-she shouldn't be allowed to armbar little girls. Nobody deigns to consider the objective facts of the case, which is that this is an athlete who might as well be taking steroids for performance enhancement. All meaning and rationality is swept away in a tide of diarrhea-polemic, just to enable normies to have 'their say' on facebook or twitter.

Kojima was right.

>PB: Do steroids, lift heavy weights, get contacts, go tanning. And stop playing all those gay fucking video games. You can’t get pussy in front of a TV playing games with your geeky friends. Go out to night clubs and bars, hit the beach. If you got money, floss. Whatever you do, don’t be yourself.

People who make and repost these comics never actually "made a change" in themselves. As evident by the fact that they perceive the society in two broad categories, "normies" and "non-normies".

Being social doesn't mean you're forced to interact with people who share no interests with you, you're not 3 years old anymore and you're not lobbed into a playground with other 3 year olds. The world is bigger than that and there are a whole lot of people who are not the archetypal "normies" that you could be socializing with.
I rarely say it, but honestly: just grow up, you special snowflake.

Comparing video games to books is totally false equivalence and i think you know that.

Prescribing Adder all as a primary care physician isn't illegal but is considered circumspect and can put you in a position where you can be sued. A lot of PCPs have become afraid to prescribe it as a result and essentially let psychologists handle it.

Don't get me wrong though, despite having purely self motivated reasons most will continue to shove their self righteous bullshit down your throat.
>>
>>375811436
>But video games are a source of instant gratification
Lmao, what? If anything Books are more of an instant gratification source, because they don't require you to spend inhuman amounts of time "getting good at" so you can engage with them at the skill-level the developers intended.

Books do, generally, require a lot more imagination to process, so they will work your brain more than the average videogame.

As a Wisconsinite I can say he's not a fucking household name. That would be Aaron Rodgers or Clay Matthews. Also just because how he grew up worked for him does not mean it'll work for everyone. I heavily play videogames and still socialize and do physical activities. Hell I may not have met my wife if I didn't like vidya

I agree. Nuke California and America would be much better. Or let the blue counties secede into their own state and we'll keep the red counties that actually produce resources.

What gratification can a book give you? there's zero interaction

I went outside when I was in my teens but as I entered 6th grade when myspace came out less and less people actually started going outside.

Now today I never go outside because all my frineds are on the computer all day.

Why waste gas and drive to talk to them when I can just message them on snapchat

I'll go on a limb here.

My friends are either busy with their shit or they're free when I'm busy with mine. So the problem could easily be having to deal with a substitute that isn't as fun.

Why can't you find substitute friends that are fun? You're the person making the choices, if you decide to hang out with people that aren't fun, that's on you.

Because the people that decide they want to hang out with you might be the ones that initiate it themselves.

Wait, so now you're saying that you don't choose the people you hang out with and call friends? Sure, you don't choose your co-workers and in some cases you might be forced to socialize with them, but apart from that I don't see how anyone can force you to hang out with them.

This thread is proof that /v/ is the easiest board to troll.

Mainly because it's the only board where the mods allow threads to shit on the very subject of the board with no consequence.

>>375811082
What triggers me is exactly what you're doing: using normative claims and politicized rhetoric to drive the discussion, instead of a facts-based approach that doesn't give an aposematic lardwhale an opportunity to soapbox. If you ask them why they think trannies aren't mentally ill, they'll stall you out with four years of memorized lecture notes from their gender studies course. For them a discursive win isn't about being correct, it's about being heard.
