You obese gamers aren't feeling even a 1/4 of the pleasure that a meth addict gets to experience.Why even live?
Because I like playing catch with my son in the backyard.
>>534882064>video games almost as good as sexwhich is why women are slowly losing their game of chicken I guess, kek
>>534882064>He's not doing all of them at the same timengmi
>>534882143You do not have a son. I bet you don't even have a backyard.
>>534882064The trouble with heavy narcotics is that nothing will ever feel close to as good as the first time you try them and the more often you take them the less powerful they become. It's the most frustrating feeling in the world and it's also why many addicts end up killing themselves.
>Why even live?To smoke meth you dumb fed cunt
>>534882064Why did nobody tell me meth was so fun
>>534882234You almost got me, he's only 2 and can't catch a ball consistently yet.I do have the backyard.
There's no way gaming is competing with sex like that, wtf. Y'all guys got numb dicks or what?
>>534882064You're supposed to have baseline dopamine?
>>534882064no wonder i love meth so much
>>534882064>video games boost dopamine by 175%>it doesn't matter if it's 24 hours of CS2 or 5 minutes of pong>meth boosts dopamine by 1300%>it doesn't matter if it's a 100mg injection, 100mg bowl, or a 5mg oral tabletI fucking hate soience
My condolence to the blokes who never get to experience a good lay. 15% more pleasurable than vidya what.
>>534882064Because I've worked with a lot of recovering meth addicts, and it's not pretty. Once you stop, it's very common to experience severe anhedonia - the inability to feel pleasure because you've burnt out your dopamine receptor. It can take years to recover from this. Some never recover.
>>534882393That's not science, anon. That's journalism. Some foid with a bachelor in media management who is too dumb to interpret the source material correctly.The 1000% for amphetamine is the spike right after use. The 175% for video games is practically the baseline, because video games fire every few seconds to minutes. Every substep of completing a quest fires new dopamine. Short dopamine drop and confusion after the "quest completed", and then next quest, same barrage of dopamine triggers again. Completely different system. More like riding a dildo 15 hours a day than like snorting cocaine once or twice.
>>534882375you don't even have a ball. stop fantasising on the internet, it's not healthy.
>>534883384The gloves are off now, as they've always been since he doesn't have gloves either.
>>534882064I don't even enjoy video games anymore. It's over for me.
>>534882064>You obese gamers aren't feeling even a 1/4 of the pleasure that a meth addict gets to experience.>Why even live?yeah gooning on meth for 3 days straight until I see God has always been a goal of mine, maybe Elmo's wireheading implant will allow all of us this experience
>>534882064we were never meant to experience that amount of pleasure. i'm good
>>534882376Probably american study. Their dicks are numb from having no skin
>>534883593>we were never meant to experience that amount of pleasure. i'm goodand yet our brains are wired for it, why? I could stick an electrode in your brain and give you a switch and you would think you had died and gone to heaven, Tibetan yogis practicing tummo have figured out how to activate this circuit
>>534883916yeah, and then you constantly seek that sort of high just like a meth head would. it is not a natural stimulus regardless. you can't do meth or prod your brain with an electrode without modern tech - which doesn't mean it is a good thing. too much pleasure is a bad thing. you need to be struggling in life to have any real purpose.just look at junkies. they are high all the time but hate their lives.
>>534883916>and yet our brains are wired for it,..no, they're not. that's the whole reason we have to take drugs to get it
>>534883384>>534883468Kek

Once you stop, it's very common to experience severe anhedonia - the inability to feel pleasure because you've burnt out your dopamine receptor. It can take years to recover from this. Some never recover.what kind of work is that? talk therapy? did you ever try meth?Bottom Line for Recovery ContextYour original point about anhedonia in meth recovery still holds strongly. The massive artificial surges lead to profound downregulation of the natural dopamine system, which is why pleasure from food, sex, games, etc., feels blunted for a long time. The brain can recover with abstinence (dopamine transporters often improve over 12+ months), but it's slow and variable. The chart's core warning — drugs outcompete natural rewards dramatically — is accurate even if the bars are stylized.
>>534882064Guess what? YOU LOST TRANNY!
>>534883468>>534883384You two need to lay off the purified copium.
>>534882232>He's not doing all of them at the same timeGeorge Costanza tried sex, eating pastrami, and tuning into baseball at the same time, but it didn't work for him.
>>534884036>>and yet our brains are wired for it,>..no, they're not. that's the whole reason we have to take drugs to get itthe circuit can be switched on naturally, it is there for a reason, activated during trauma for survival enhancement, lots of structures in our brain are latent and most never experience their activation, some only switch on during trauma, but they are there for evolutionary reasons
>>534884116I did try meth, yes - did it for about a month or so until I lost my contact. I was primarily an alcoholic. Then I got sober and started treating meth addicts when I went to school to become a therapist.
>>534884262>the circuit can be switched on naturallyno it can't. hence the "drug">activated during trauma for survival enhancementcrack head science nonsense
>>534882234Projection you son-less, backyard-less faggoty little git.
>>534884596>>the circuit can be switched on naturally>no it can't. hence the "drug"why would it be there if it never got used over 100000 years of evolutionThese aren't everyday states because constant activation would be maladaptive (energy-wasting, risky behavior, etc.). Evolution tuned them for rarity: famine, predation, injury, childbirth, etc.Latent Structures and "Hidden" PotentialsYour point about latent brain structures is spot-on with modern neuroscience. Neural circuits often have latent potential—capabilities not expressed in normal conditions but available when needed:Many neuromodulatory systems (dopamine, norepinephrine, opioids, etc.) are conserved across vertebrates and can shift global brain states dramatically under arousal, stress, or training.Extreme conditions (trauma, hypoxia, intense training) can "unlock" or amplify activity in circuits that are otherwise subdued.This latent capacity also explains why trained practices like tummo (or certain breathwork) can voluntarily access similar states: heat generation, bliss, altered consciousness—without damage—by hacking autonomic and neuroendocrine pathways. It's a controlled, non-traumatic way to activate what trauma flips on involuntarily.Resilience research even shows that stronger baseline reward circuitry function predicts better outcomes after severe trauma—suggesting the system is designed to support recovery and adaptation when pushed.
>>534882064>No football
>>534882064Drugs completely fuck with your mind so you truly can not enjoy the experience in a proper lucid state. Drugs are a trap for retards that subconsciously hate themselves more than anything.
>>534885028whats there to enjoy?
>>534882064>grinding your teeth and experiencing waves of anxiety is 13x more fun than baseline XDyeah I think this is very subjective
