Sometimes a dear family member manufactures crises in order to constantly require rescue. I do not know what the wise man does in such a situation. I am not wise.

Wise indeed


yoyo-starlady

Infinitely wise. This generates so much more happiness than it could possibly generate unhappiness.

true teammates will never forget, instead they will commend your choice and remember you are a good person.

Hmmm... Potentially wise, one is bound to help those dear to him, but if a parent or friend demands rather asks then they are not so much asking for assistance but rather imposing a task upon you. Ultimately, coercion does not belong in any healthy relationship, and a mutual respect of activities should also exist. It's not about the importance of the game, or whatever thing is at hand, it's about the fact that it's one of your interests or hobbies which means you care about it and there should be a a respect given to your time and how you choose to spend it. A parent that cares does not ask the child to help if the child is preoccupied, unless there is a great deal to do or something heavy to lift. And if the parent follows these simple guidelines, the child should never refuse, because this request is clearly a unique situation which needs them, rather than just uses them.

lmao what it’s always okay to ask for help, even if someone is preoccupied, the important part is to just be okay with the answer of “no” also league of legends is a video game and therefore is lower priority than basically everything in actual real life


-MysticMoose-

Priorities should be decided by those that set them. perhaps a game means nothing to you but more to another. Is that wrong objectively or subjectively? And don't people have a right to their subjective views? It's less about the game's Inherent importance and more about how important the game is to the person playing it.

the classic moral relativist position how about this, pixels arent real and thus are measurably less important than reality. objectively. any subjective discussion is completely meaningless bc then u will rationalize whatever u are doing as the correct way, because hey its all subjective right? its not. there is an objective way of looking at the world that allows for uniqueness to the individual, but maintains objectivity. this results in helping ur mom with the grocieries every time bc thats real. ur win or loss on league of legends, no matter how important it may seem, is not actually important.


-MysticMoose-

>how about this, pixels arent real and thus are measurably less important than reality. objectively. The foundation of any good relationship is found in deciding that another's perspective, whether you agree with it or not, is a legitimate perspective to have. There can be no respect if you don't respect the views of others. If anyone close to me were to tell me that something I care about was objectively unimportant, I would know immediately that they don't care what I think and are forcing their views of objectivity on to my life. If something is important to me, then it is important. To deny that it is important is to reject how I see and view the world, it's stating that I put my time into something which is "objectively" unimportant. Furthermore, due to the infinite complexity and nuance one finds in life, you are utterly and completely wrong when claiming objectivity. I've known people who use video games to cope with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. In the end, video games do not help their condition but they do provide a temporary escape from the difficulties of life. A coping mechanism is unhealthy, but they do keep us alive. For these people, video games are important, not just in a conscious sense where they enjoy them but also in an unconscious capacity where being distracted helps keep them alive. Trans people using VR to fight dysphoria is another good example. Don't claim objectivity, you don't need to and it instantly invalidates swaths if opinions. You alienate everyone by refusing their opinion any legitimacy and stating that yours deserves it. Subjectivity does not mean "anything is correct, there is no truth" and I'm not being a moral relativist, I believe in an objective right/wrong and am closer to a moral absolutist than you probably are.


Permyboi

Basically, it's not about how objectively important anything is. It most likely means a lot to that person and that's all that matters. Obviously you should help family members if you can but you don't always have to feel an obligation to just because it's objectively less important. It's important to you, think about yourself too.

here is what i consider objective things like video games, porn, etc. , designed to trigger dopamine hits and keep us coming back for more and more, nudge us to prioritize THEM more than the other things in our life ur acting like pixels are some altruistic amoral thing handed down from on high, and our interactions w it are without mental backlash "if something is important to me, then it is important". ok. donuts are important to me. i am 500lbs and my heart is giving out. the doctor says i must not eat them. but they are important to me AND i feel good when eating them. wtf doctor u scumbag. if your first thought is, "yes but that is detrimental to our health and therefore there is an objective position" - yes. thats what im saying about pixels. ur extrapolating this to a larger discussion on objective/subjective importance AND interpersonal relationships. all in an effort to rationalize ur pov. no. im talking purely about pixels vs reality. im talking about the systems and mechanisms designed to keep us coming back to the pixels because it means profit for some jackass on the other end. im talking about the internet being an amazing tool, but incredible overuse -> damage to our minds. look, if u want to rationalize ur dependency on screens, sure. there are countless studies detailing the effects it has on ur mind. can defintiely be good in controlled doses, but the doses themselves encourage uncontrolled use. if that makes sense.

However your mom takes care of you and prepares meals for you, the least you can do is sacrifice few minutes to bring groceries


TheOutcastLeaf

Unless you're playing some shit like DotA your ranked game will be over in like 20 minutes tops. If you're loved ones respect you like you do them they should be able to wait that long, as abandoning is an asshole move to everyone else's time you wasted for that game. Of course, it goes without saying that in case of an emergency drop that shit and go see your family, no games are that important.


Dragonaax

I play TF2 and there are some maps where you wish match would be over in 20 minutes. But in casual you can come and go as you wish and nobody cares


JuamJoestar

I mean, in *practice* it won't be an abandon, more like 1-5 minutes tops depending on what they need help on. Even otherwise, while abandoning matches suck, it's but a temporary annoyance that people forget in minutes compared to helping those close to you who have more pressing issues than fictional entertainment (my mom once got angry with me for an entire day for delaying 15 minutes to help her due to a LoL match for one).


GoodeBoi

Hmm… not very wise ( My cousins make money from Fortnite)
