Yes, game addiction is a spook. Literally made up by the medical community at the behest of lazy parents.

when I buy a cheeseburger I don't have to pay extra for the new sauce they put on it that they did not advertise would be a potential at any point after they release the burger onto the menu

Or is it a actual phenomenon people have witnessed and are trying to combat?

Parents are dumb. They deserve to wrack up $1000 in bills because they gave Timmy access to their credit cards because they were too busy to raise him.

Also I’m pretty goddamn sure there is studies on social media and phone addiction

@snake Describe what you think addiction actually is, because I've never seen sombody get withdrawals from not playing video games. There is no physical addiction, just a psychological dependancy. You literally choose to play games all day.

this place has it's limits due to jew

Some drugs don’t give physical addiction

But are still addictive as hell

Whatever releases endorphins and serotonin can possibly lead to repetative actions to regain the feels

eventually this can lead to an addiction

Addiction requires an actual, physical chemical reaction.

Using your extremely loose definition of addiction, everything is addictive. If you have a big enough void, you will find any outlet.

and my favorite definition is "something you cannot stop doing"

@Weaboo Kempeitai moronic

Ever hear of gambling addiction?

Technically, I can stop breathing

You are a walking pharmacy

Yeah, dosen't exist.

Cope harder Weaboo

theres physical addictions and mental ones why does the latter not exist?

You are always wrong

HAHA

because in the end it's physical

it exists in the brain

You don't know that it's physical

All you know are precepts

percepts rather

is the brain physical?

You have perceptions

That's ultimately all you can say

does it assist in releasing these chemicals that are physical

Plenty of people gamble healthily. Plenty of people gamble successfully. People who get addicted because they don't want to face their issues, or are just extremely bad with money.

So, poor people gamble because they have high time preference, and think they can get rich in a night. They're victims of nobody but themselves.

You really can't stop addiction. Like I said, people get addicted to things as a form of escapism. They will find any outlet.

does it work with the thyroid to regulate them

all is yes

You'll never ban games with addictive elements. Addiction is relative. Plenty of people get addicted to games others wouldn't get addicted to. You can't possibly legislate that. They need to make the choice to help themselves.

but I'm not opposed to it's legality
