Couching error as ‘opinion’ is as bad faith as it gets because your statement isn’t an opinion, it’s a belief. One that is wrong. You believe that video games are a terrible evil (man what a flashback…).

That’s not an opinion, that’s being generally wrong in the face of reality (studies have been done). That’s being callous in the face of real problems (addicts need careful bounded help, not condemnation). That’s being cruel because it makes you feel superior in your insignificant life (no one needs to justify their harmless happiness to you).

Terry Pratchett was said to be an angry man, as described by his best friend. He was angry at a world that could be so much better but chooses not to be. You, and people like you, and sometimes me, are the reason he was angry.

Thank you for reminding me that anger is sometimes the appropriate reaction. I hope your life is as pleasant as you are.
