Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

I believe the opposite, but for similar reasons. 🤪
When are young people supposed to socialize, get married, and have kids, if they're working all the time? The guy playing Elden Ring is absolutely exhausted and is spending what little time he does have to recharge his batteries. It's a symptom of his needs not being met.
Are there some people who will just play more? Sure. But we can't reasonably extrapolate that a completely burned-out person will stay that way with sufficient time for self care and relationships.
(I've been both of these people)
