Why isn't escapism healthy?
Why isn't escapism healthy?
is coffee good for you?
I prefer tea
right you should completely ignore what youre doing wrong with your life and only ever deal with the consequences of your own inability and never seek to eliminate the issues at its core.
Why is that wrong or unhealthy? You can craft your own reality
Only solves the "reality problem" temporarily and allows all other problems to get worse.
Escapism is healthy in small doses but if your room is a NEET nest then you're becoming an avoidant loser.
Avoiding your problems makes them worse. Like the blacks
whats wrong with ignoring the reality of your life? lol be for real, which is exactly your problem
If I want to be a tranny, it's not escapism, it's accepting my true nature and reality
eventually you die
simulacrum
you're an actor on your own stage
If you keep running from reality, you'll never truly feel carefree, there's always a weight hanging over you, a constant awareness that you're avoiding something. Facing reality makes escapism much more enjoyable, because you're no longer using it to run away, and the guilt fades
In that particular case, because it was turning those who indulged in it into either bad people, or damaged people.
Hiding from your problems doesn't make them go away, it makes them grow
nah its escapism
Everything in the game shows him and his friends having a better life and everything feels real (anything that you can argue is the opposite is really just barely hinted in a way the player doesn't care, like his past bullies having turned into monsters), then he's like " go back to the wheelchair!".
Because cripples belong in wheelchairs
Because you're supposed to spend your life working so the top 1% gets to be even richer, dumb goyim.
There is an immense irony that this game launched shortly after Final Fantasy XI which turned an entire generation of Japanese into neets addicted to that virtual world.
I don't know, I think if you actually escape (like to an actual different isekai world), it should be fine.
"Escapism" has a connotation of pretending.
Some of the town was turned into monsters, we don't really know if it recycles the souls of those who die either. Really the whole thing is just too handwavy to say it's straight out evil.
For the most part trying to avoid your problems by forcing everyone to stay in a storybook world is somewhat of a dick move though.
Well this Ivalice in this particular installment of the saga is Dream World, even the main villain calls this world a "illusion"
If it's like The Matrix or Star Ocean 3, I don't really think the 'illusion' matters.
Jon plasmaed at him. And tried to blew him up.
what if you just live a shit life with no hopes of it ever being different?
think this through the eyes of some japanese salaryman who works 12 hours a day and plays games on the train to forget about work for a moment
star ocean 3
Is there a bigger bit of faggotry in gaming than this
It matters, since in Final Fantasy lore Dream World actually leeches off your life to sustain the Dream World or have negative consequences of a sort
No I am under no obligation to try and imagine life as a subhuman retard who willingly embraces and reinforces his shit culture.
what would you do in his position? you either go to work or become a neet and a shame to your whole family
Marche is wrong. As a MtF trans woman, reality is what you make it.
No human should have the power to change reality like that. It'd just be a sad pretend life at best. Not to mention it's backed up by a demon who is probably using all this shit for sustenance or something.
Escapism isn't bad when escaping means killing thousands
Does it kill you? Or does it just use your natural calorie-burning battery? Does it try to keep you in suspended animation for centuries like the WAU in Soma?
Life is a game of pretend. It doesn't matter at all but we lie to ourselves that it does.
They don't die, tho? Montblanc appears in FTTA2 and calls the events of FFTA a weird dream meaning that the kids trapped the people of ivalice inside a dream too
This is correct, I'm not talking about FFTA, or FFX for that matter.
Yes, but that's very different from the kind of pretending where you can overwrite the wills of other people.
If theyre are guards around, they will live. If not, they die. Its why you keep fighting the same herds from their homebase
Escapism taken to it's logical extreme leads into neet or even hikikomori. A little escapism time to time isn't bad though.
It's not good to escape to a place where you're happy and go back to the real world where you have a minuscule chance for things to get better
Fuck this retarded way of thinking
Works for me. Life sucks dick and the only thing that could actually make me want to live longer is getting enough money to live away from people, never work again, and be comfortable for the rest of my days.
Ok but is coffee actually good for you, memes aside?
Or I just choose a profession that isn’t shit and pays me well for my hours. There are plenty. It might require departing Japan but that’s fine a shithole nation does not deserve my quality
You have to actually, unironically, find a way to make money doing what you love or find a job that's so fun to do that it isn't a chore to be there.
I found work at Marijuana farms, I love smoking weed, I love all forms of biology including practical ones like botany and horticulture.
I love hard manual labor and being outside, I love being in nature.
I pick up side jobs working with the animal/vegetable farms and sometimes seasonal work on the vineyards.
I'm happy, I'm in shape, I'm making decent money, and I live in the woods.
My life is literally skyrocketing in my 30s, pretty cool desu.
I didn't need to hear that
You did and your faggot booze and faggot tobacco and faggot anime are yet another thing you need to abandon if you want to be a real person
Escapism is a symptom of a dogshit nation, but no government is interested in making life worth living, only profitable.
Derp no country owes you a perfect life, rather you owe your country loyalty and sacrifice. Hedonistic zoomers need the rope
not healthy for them when I start Duel wielding ultimate weapons
Excalibur 2
masamune
give up you fucking cripple I will end you!
marche
Damn
I thought the card aspect was a annoying yet nice touch when you start getting overpowered in tactics advance
tactics advance was a fun little game I really enjoyed it
The illusion matters to the extent that it's an illusion and you know it, if you don't know it's an illusion you are fine, but once you realize there's no going back and you will forever be incomplete until you face the world behind the veil.
The country is built on individuals, ergo the life of the individual is imperative to making a good country. If the group feels no need to care for the individual, the group collapses. It's a give and take relationship, not a take-take-take relationship. You call people hedonists for not wanting to suffer their entire lives, yet turn a blind eye to the hedonism of the country rulers.
Because constantly avoiding problems, shockingly, makes them worse.
Every country has a responsibility to their people. A government is put in place specifically to make the country worth living in. If the governors failed that, then they have no right to make demands.
we owe you nothing
you owe us everything
I don't like the terms of this contract.
You cant stop life slamming into you with its consequences dangling out.
it sucks your soul afaik
What if it sucks and you wanna go back, though
Only good post ITT
You can't go back, that's the thing, once you realize you're living in an illusion there is no going back.
Because it lets you forget who is ruling over you.
No it isn't.
"escapism is a good thing!!" said the neet, calmly
I disagree, you can be truly "free" living knowing none of what you're doing is real
death to israel
Depends what you are escaping from.
If you can pay your bills, then it's completely healthy to live in a fantasy world if you so choose.
I did this and I'm content
Coffee itself is actually good.
The issue is when you add things to the coffee.
Black coffee will help boost your metabolism and subdue hunger pangs while also helping you with your memory. Then you get people who drown their coffee in creamer and sugar, which causes a loop making these retards crave more coffee.
This then leads to obesity and reliance on caffeine, and sometimes even dehydration if someone drinks coffee only in the morning instead of being responsible and drinking water to make up what was lost during the night.
tl;dr
Yes, but black coffee specifically. If you stick to serving sizes, cream and sugar is fine too.
You can delude yourself but the knowledge will always come back to haunt you.
Why does it have to haunt you? It could come to you as a relief, knowing how the "real world" is, and voluntarily returning to a fake one.
Like watching a blizzard from inside your heated home.
It was going to kill them too to feed itself.
What would that even look like?
Ignoring your problems won't make them go away.
