Leeway in court is mostly only in divorce using kids. In any other court system women face the same repercussions. And if she makes more, SHE will be the one to pay alimony.
Alimony should be capped at 3 years, and permanent alimony is a fricking joke.

Yes, this is what's going to bring A Brave New World to present day real life... millennials playing video games. Not our police state, terrorism, civil unrest, the global resurgence of nationalism, etc. Bravo OP.
You don't remember your Brave New World very much. A key distinction vs. other literary dystopias is the focus on mindless hedonism.

Why do you care if these people choose to live at home and play video games. Mind your own business.

These young videogame dropouts are now averaging 520 hours a year on the computer, with 60% of that time devoted to videogames, dwarfing other pursuits like socializing with friends in the real world.
I game more than 500 hours/year. Have my own business. Gaming for an hour or two/day is a solid way of getting rid of stress. And if someone wants to sit home all day and play video games, god bless them. There are far worse ways to spend ones life

But muh boomers! Muh Bernie!
This is because Baby Boomers are a generation of failures who ruined this country for their posterity. Easily the most damaging generation there ever was. Never been a better time to tell old people to shut the frick up when they bitch.

Meanwhile boomers and the rest of you old fricks stay home and make topics about us every day.
Get our dicks out your mouths.

Because society is getting rek'd, nub. I play feef or maybe halo 1-2x a week. Some friends of mine play a bit more but most but have jobs. This is about the wave of young males across the country who do this to a ridiculous, obsessive extent, in lieu of actually being a part of mainstream society.

Let this be a lesson to any parents out there - let your kids play video games, they could end up like goldennugget if you don't

Society going to shite has absolutely nothing to do with a few nerds staying in their parents basement gaming. There are a million different reasons why the U.S. is starting to suck but this is not one of them.

"Staying in their parents basement"
Lmao, okay old man.

Most things are fine in moderation. If you like to play in your free time go for it. Hell I play golf and that's 5 hours of wasted time. However if you spend every free minute playing video games u have a problem

My kids like to play Mario Kart on the Wii. Recently I joined in and I got beat a few times and it pissed me the frick off.
I sent their cheatin' asses to bed and then I Googled the shite out of the game for "tips and tricks" and practiced for 5 hours that night. I didn't quit until I could get 1st place in almost every course I raced. They would never beat me again. RAWR.
BUT.... I blacked out drunk while practicing and forgot everything I learned. frick them little cheating frickers. frick video games.
