They aren't as good as the chemicals, though.

I'm not interested in intentionally partaking in your pathetic vices. I have plenty of ways to entertain myself without ****ing my brain up with chemicals.

So if you accidentally smoke a joint it's okay.

HAH!

Gambling ****s up your brain chemicals. Playing computer games ****s up your brain chemicals in the same way that gambling does. You gonna stop playing computer games?

Just live a little HC, it's okay. You'll survive.

1. I would never gamble. Throwing away money isn't my idea of fun.
2. You really want to compare video games to brain-addling addictive, illegal drugs?

[Hauldren Collider]

Just for the record, I'm not going to trust some random stranger on the internet more than the 18 years of conventional wisdom I have acquired through my schooling. Sorry if that makes me naive.

It's all about the dopamine.

You made a claim about alternative entertainment that doesn't **** up your brain chemicals and then I pointed out that some of that alternative entertainment you indulge in does **** up your brain chemicals in the same way that illegal addictive drugs do.

Also, WoW is more addictive than pot. FACT.

Felch knows whats up.

Why did you need to be schooled in conventional wisdom?

I can give you the drugs, though I consider a bit of experimentation to be a rite of passage for young people, but gambling? Can it be any more obvious you have no personal experience in the matter? As long as one sets their limits then it can be a very entertaining way to spend a weekend. It doesn't even have to be expensive if you make sure not to bet too large and even if you lose you'll get back half of your money in free drinks. All in all it is a great way to entertain yourself for a few hours once in a while especially if you're with a group of friends.

Also, playing cards with friends is gambling and fun.

I've never taken it.

It makes you pompous, arrogant, argumentative. You clearly don't need it.
