Antiwork

To all of the people that say that people just don't want to work or are just looking for a handout. I am a disabled individual. I have applied for Social Security Disability, not because I don't want to be able to make my keep, but because I am not considered “hirable” by most jobs. I cannot do anything on a regular schedule due to my disability which makes it hard to be reliable. When I am able to, I work hard to make jewelry because I hope that some day I will be able to help support my family without the need for government assistance.

I want to know, why is it that playing video games is often seen as lazy and unproductive or wasted time? I personally don't mind my gaming habits and if I get my work done and my chores done I see nothing wrong with just spending most of my free time playing video games. But when I mention this in other advice subreddits or other places on the internet I always get told that I should be doing more productive things or that I should not be wasting my time. Is this just another aspect of the toxic hustle culture that I keep hearing about? What are some ways that I can counter people who say that gaming is a waste of time or why do some people feel a need to always be busy so often?

Not much more to say than that. I ended up in a position where I could try to so something, so I went for it. What else would you do in my position?
