Well, Diablo 2 sure has for me.
Diablo 3 and Tiny Tina's done this for me
Tiny Tina omg
Well, it’s very simple, don’t you see? When he makes money, it’s not addiction When he makes no money, it’s addiction
My dealer says the same
"That's not addiction. They can log off anytime. Bro, it's called commitment."
Gotcha, I can do 16 hours of Insta on coke off the toilet seat and be OK. Thank you CDC!
16 hours of doing coke? Im never gonna financially recover from this.
First stage: denial.
"Because like 10hr of that is background usage while we harvest your data."
What did Snapchat and TikTok settle for? Did they just pay money to not to expose themselves in court? Or did they actually settled to FUCKING FINALLY crack down on addiction and other issues on their platform? (x) Doubt

Oh, fuck this article. He didn't say it wasn't . He just didn't even mention the word at all.
