So, the deal with listening to music and then doing work for 5 seconds is not necessarily autism, it sounds more like ADHD. It also explains the addiction components.
And it’s literally not German. It clearly says made in Austria on the side
“You know what that is?” “Yes, do you?”
No way they said that…
I think video games are bad in 2 cases. 1. You have some sort of mental issue, and video games fuel any violent tendencies that you may have. 2, you are playing video games at the expense of more important things that you should be doing. If you play them in your free time, and still manage to live a functional and healthy life, I don't see a problem. Side note, the problems I listed aren't exclusive to video games.
I buy an Xbox once a year. I purchase a console, play like crazy for a couple of months then sell it because I have no self control.
I dont see how the average grown man even has time for video games. I dont have enough time in my day for things i have to do. I wouldnt call it "bad for you" but its just not for me. They are entertaining for sure if its your thing.
LET'S GO BRANDON Herrera. Lol
america has responsibilities along with rights. 1 of those responsibilities is following the damn law, mexicans/liberals. I have a right to own a gun. I also have a responsibility to not shove it, loaded, in a random person's face. -_- ... also, youre right it's about "welcoming the fox into the hen house", John. exactly. "reward criminals punish law-abiders or good emericans biden go reEE" mentality -_- seriously, whiskey foxtrot tango
Good to see someone changing their opinion after some real life testing. We should all be more like this.
The topic of discussion has always been a fun one for me. You both handled it very well, always entertaining to see you both get together. So, this might raise a brow... I'm 40 (41 soon,1983) and My favorite pass time is video games followed by firearms. Like Lucas, I don't spend much time with movies, TV series, I'm not a huge fan of phones and I despise social media. you both brought up great points that I agree with. Are video games bad for you? I believe no. I would make the case that video games help with the hand eye coordination both with controllers and computer keyboards, a great way to stay in touch with people that have moved away long distance, and a way to disconnect from reality from time to time (much like a fiction book). I can only speak on my experiences when it comes to games, I have played Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat, Gears of War, Halo, Elder Scrolls games (Skyrim)... My collection is well over 300 games spanning across 10 different consoles and PC. I've played some of the "worst" games that gaming has to offer and have enjoyed the story lines, play throughs, and the ability to just have fun with what they are. They have never temped me to try and rip someone's head off, steal someone's car, or cause any form of harm to anyone. I believe myself to be a good person, I believe the most successful people in life are the ones who are genuinely happy people in life. As far as the part of lack of empathy, I can't argue that it won't contribute, I think that the lack of empathy was there before said person picks up a controller. I'm also a Shift Supervisor at a Factory who started as an operator and worked my way up and work 50+hrs a week, been there for now 17 years. Just bought a new house, moved from a previous home of 21 years and have a loving woman at my side with 3 kids. I think that where things shift to bad is the lack of balance. Too much of anything often times is bad. You see also the lack of discipline with people and their kids where the kid is misbehaving so the parents often pull their phone out and hand it to them, rewarding this bad behavior and I think we're seeing a lot of this now. You see some people in the workplace thumbing through their phones affecting productivity and you're the bad guy when you call them out on this behavior and explain you're not on the clock getting paid to do that. So where a good thing goes bad in my opinion is the lack of balance and discipline.... just a mild observer of the insanities around me. thanks for the video guys, enjoyed. Take care.

It was made in 1989 in Austria
I'm representing the flight sim gang. Steep learning curves, lots of education, skillset training, and lots of wonderful stress.
Its guaranteed that none of them, not one of them would have ever accepted "I stand wirh xx foreign country" or would they have accepted dual Citizens running their Gooberments, you know like we do with the following US agencies all run by Dual Isr~~li citizens Secretary of State Secretary Treasury Attorney General Homeland Security National Intelligence Director ATF Director CDC heads Chair of Economic Advisors Chief of staff and VP's husband is also a Dual Is~li citizen.
I love how little people think about things they say like porcelain wouldn't obviously explode inside of youre hands 😂
Lameeeeeeeeeeeee😂
Only someone who never served would ask themselves the question "why it is good to have single fire on an MG"....even the Germans had that option on the MG34, and that was 80 years ago!! Thats a great feature. That gun looks nice and very well thought. I rather have that than a Mag 58, it looks way less cubersome....even makes me think of an MG34 with it's tight waist
I run USGI mags with Magpul Ranger plates. With Ranger plates you can only hold 29 max. I load to 28.
Outstanding
I learned most of my English playing video games. And I have recently discovered (to my sheer joy) that livestreaming RTS games with an active chat counts as indirectly practicing for my work. About violent video games, I think they are a revolutionary way to "practice violence" without hurting anything but "pixels". I personally don't like to do it, I'm too empathetic. Going active shooter in GTA makes me sad for the pixels.
I put a single point sling on my Remington 870. Hit me in the junk once and I took it off.
Lucas: I'm a gamer. Also I hate fiction. Lol what? Are there any nonfiction video games? Not historical fiction but actual nonfiction video games?
Much love from Arizona
You absolutely should open carry if you want to. That or just stamp the word RETARD on your forehead.
Great video!
It's very interesting to me that anything kids want to do is always dangerous and scary. There's always something, video games, tv, rap music, the internet (that's an AWOG quote), and instead of just saying "everything in moderation" we worry how its going to kill us. When it comes to video games, treat it as a privilege, not a right, and your kids will do just fine. 2 hours a day after all their chores and schoolwork is done, add time for rewards, deduct time for bad behavior (or remove access entirely when necessary), and watch reviews on the games your kids want to play. The leg work of watching the reviews, however, HAS to be done. I've known parents who deny their kids access to a game just because they felt like it/thought the game looked scary/wasn't in a good mood. As soon as the kid is old enough to understand this, they won't thank you for being over-protective. As far as violent video games and boys are concerned, God put this drive in us for forceful protection, so its only natural that games that involve fighting in some way (this includes Minecraft) are going to be more appealing. If you are going to let your kid read their Bible (more than enough described violence in there), or read/watch LOTR/Chronicles of Narnia (as many Christian parents do) you can't then be shocked by your child's (sons) interest in war-like things. Games like Halo or Fortnite are EXTREMELY tame, the kid (as long as they are playing in moderation) will be just fine. They ought to have other hobbies (hence the time limit) but if you only let them play for a short time or not at all, they won't benefit from it and will be disadvantaged when talking with their friends (this is worth considering). Parents hate to admit this, but there is *SO* much time during the year when the only other thing you can do is read a book, and if you're like my family, your kiddo probably already read for hours that day. A few hours of video games won't hurt them at all.
Trex and warrior poet society. What a duo
Farming Simulator for kids, it will help them learn finances, start a business run a business, farming. The logging in that has is sweat. Ghost Recon wildlands Great for learning tactics for guns, military tactics, team work shooting bad guys. DCS world is incredible for learning how to fly, avionics, learning systems and how they work in plans and helicopters . Three best games. Cold Waters is just cool
The problem is that John looks at all of the games the same. He only looks at it one way that it’s a waste of time for him but the truth is human minds think differently and what does not affect him may positively, affect someone in a good way
Ohio Ordinance be like: "what if we made an automatic sniper rifle?????"
Gun control is hitting the targets moving or not
John realizing he has an addictive personality. How cute. If you're a human you have an addictive personality. Just because you haven't found your "drug" doesn't mean you don't have one. Addiction at it's core is the flesh trying to gain what only God can provide. Some people are as addicted to religion as other's are to drugs. As a side note, I've played video games since the days of the Atari 64 and I've heard all the debates on why video games are bad. It has been and always will be the individual.
Another smash team up of John and Lucas! The dynamic between you two is awesome and always so fun yet thoughtfully stimulating. Next time Lucas has to close out your discussion with a dad joke. Love you both keep it up.
Are video games bad for you? Of course they are because they aren't meant for you to eat! Games are not food! 😂
It takes the police to long to get there in most cases. As for massshootings they should be better screening like in the congress and senate. Who’s more at risk? I think it’s the schools with their gun free zones
Is it bad, I had this playing in the background while wrecking people in Warzone mobile? Yes I am playing Warzone mobile (on break at work lol)
Men vs boys. Represent John.
Someone playing video games compared to someone that doesn’t it’s not a comparison, such as men and boys. Some of the best human beings I met in my life that are actually mature and successful play video games. 🤷♂️ look at Elon Musk for example he is a huge gamer and wildly successful.
That’s cool info love it
"Play some African jungle music" *Puts on NBA Young boy
Soooo they made a modern mg34?
Balance and the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality are most important.
This is the kind of dialogue thats required. Not the extremism that comes with pro gun/NRA nuts. Civil conversations to understand both sides. Well done!
I CCW and train daily with a full size 45 caliber 1911. I automatically manipulate the safety without even thinking about it. It all comes down to training. If you want to carry a pistol with a manual safety, you ABSOLUTELY MUST TRAIN to turn the safety off on the draw and flip it back on when holstering.
Appendix carrying is the WORST
No man who plays grand theft auto without moral conviction is normal
I open carry in a rural , wilderness environment or perhaps at night. I prefer a low profile and don’t care to attract attention or have a UTube channel about my bull shit. When I see a guy open carrying I usually think he’s an idiot.
Thriller/horror movies are interactive for me. I always try to figure out ehat happens next before i see it, or find the culprit. And for scary movies, i always try to predict the jumpscares so i can brace myself. It keeps my heart healthy ❤️
Watch documentaries
Dont let them become obsessive, use them to turn your brain off or relax, but makw sure to keep your head in reality. Also, when you play, think about the purpose. Fighting zombies or wars? Ok thats cool. It happens and your not necessarily the bad guy. But, g t a, n ak ed people and crime? The only and sole purpose? That's not something you should relax with. Doom, is fun though cuz your still killing bad guys, or zombie army. But being a bad guy to relax isn't good. Long story short, What would Jesus do? Waste His time with games or relax in God's word and enjoy His presence and think about all the Father's blessings. This is apart from using games as socializing as well. Dont play offline, play online, or split screen but use your mic, communicate with people. Not only do you get better at the game, but you get to learn about different people if you ask more about them. Use it to meet people and get info on things, you dont have to keep conversations limited to the game. Say Jokes, convert people, or recommend foods or recipes. Teach each other and learn.
You are both the man. John, I'm excited to take a class from the Battle Gnome in Minnesota in Sept! I wish you were coming too!
