    Till you want to apply for a job but your bar isn’t green enough.

    Then have the wealthy class try to distinguish themselves by always having a full green bar while the politicians balance your means to make the majority just miserable enough to always be light orange.

      Exactly. My first thought seeing this was that shitty people are going to gamify making people more miserable now that they can see exactly how well they’re doing.

      Omg, you made a terrible idea terrifying. I think you nailed it in the head only they would keep at least 25% to 50% at the red limit just to incentivise the yellow bars.

      If we want to talk about the current scales the greens would be holding us to a 60% red line rate. I’m not current but I’m guessing the average American living paycheck to paycheck is around 60% now.

    I used to have wristbands - green, yellow, and red - that I’d switch between. Lost the green and yellow ones around 2020 or so. If that isn’t a metaphor, I don’t know what is.

    And constantly have the Pokémon alarm sound when I’m in the red? No thanks.

    “Why did you eat the entire glass of olives out of the fridge?”

    Me pointing at my increasing mental health bar.

    I’d love to have boss music start playing when there are enemies nearby so I know it’s time to leave.

    No, bullies would just target the weak ones. Privacy is king. Having said that, reach out to your friends, make an effort to connect in life. Go out for a walk and a coffee with them.

    I’ve seen Scott Pilgrim. It would just be another way to sell you energy drinks which promise to improve your health bar.
