    Videogaming, porn and gambling gave boys such dopamine hits that anything else they did felt boring.

    Kids these days don’t understand the rush of dumping their entire allowance into 15 minutes of Street Fighter, comitting borderline felonies while riding bicycles around the neighborhood, and then going into the woods to jerk it to that one Playboy before going over Steve’s house to worship the devil.
