Doing ANY hobby for 20 hours is going to be detrimental, even the "good" hobbies like reading. It's a matter of moderation.

My parents did the same. I could play as much as I wanted, but if I fell behind on my homework or my grades started slipping, they'd take the games away until they improved.

The same is true for literally any hobby that is done in excess. Spend too much time on a single thing, you miss out on other aspects of your life.

Yeah, my first thought was "does this mean people will finally stop insisting that parents limit their kid's gaming time to like 1 hour a day or whatever crap they're currently suggesting?"

But Tumblr is free. I've used it since 2011 and have never paid them a dime.

Yeah, but now my Tumblr keeps getting followed by porn bots every other day.

Had to read it a second time because I was wondering why he was calling Ghostbusters.

Me too. I'm about to move to Kansas City, which is about a 3 hour drive from there, so I plan to visit at least once every year or two.

I've heard the Omaha Zoo is supposed to be the best zoo on the planet.

The fact that this was ever even a suggestion is a travesty.
