Cordial? How is it cordial to make a hurtful sarcastic comment like "shouldn't you be playing kids video games - you ARE best at that right?"

Thanks for this. I'm trying to become better at controlling what I say because since losing my last case manager that I was dependent on for support, I am more reliant on this forum as a support system so me getting myself suspended really isn't in my best interest.
Anyways, I didn't read his whole comment but now that I saw it, I find it amusing that he still thinks that games are for kids. Guess what? There are more people becoming millionaires off gaming every day thanks to Twitch and YouTube and they are adults in their 20s, 30s, and some even in their 40s. Also, look up electronic sports. Competitive online gaming has become so widespread that it is treated like an actual sport similar to football and basketball in various parts of the world. Even in the U.S, you can get into game tournaments in some colleges similar to how you can become a professional basketball or football player for your school and you can even win scholarship money with it.
Then there is the whole business thing. Guess what? Things don't work now the way they did 20-30 years ago. We have the internet. Brick and Motor style businesses are becoming obsolete in favor of the internet. Building websites, affiliate marketing, starting an online store, Search Engine Optimization, freelancing, making YouTube videos, and yes, even gaming are all ways to make a profitable online business. The dropshipping that I mentioned earlier? That is a form of online resale that involves reselling products from another supplier, much like a middleman. I do that right now with game and anime themed clothing and cosplay accessories and I do make a profit off it and I started only a couple of months ago. To build a business the new way utilizing the internet, you don't need to spend years building it from the ground up; one can build a profitable online business in mere months if they dedicate themselves to learning about it and do the work which is something that I do on my spare time despite my lack of motivation that does make it hard.
People like "NeedHaldol" are going obsolete much like the floppy disk. They are stuck in the "old way" of doing things while not taking the time to consider the fact that things are changing thanks to technology. One needs to be adaptable to survive and thrive in modern day society or else they will become obsolete in favor of those who are willing to change their ways of thinking and adapt. In fact, I'm writing my final essay in college on this very subject so I'm glad to get my brain working with this thread.
Anyways, /rant off. Thanks for the advise and sticking up for my Crypts!
