It took lots of hard work from lots of people through the years
to make me who I am today. It's not easy to program a human
being, but I believe they have succeeded in programming me. I
function perfectly* == Au contraire. I help fix people at their
cores. I don't fix anybody though. People fix themselves. I use
whatever tools are required. Absurdism is a strong tool because
most people can relate to it. The overly serious are more
difficult to fix but it's possible too. They're overly wrapped
up in their heads and guided by ancient frustrations but it's
still possible. = Adulthood is a myth. I'm convinced now. I was
17 when I got on AOL (it was called PC-Link at first) - even got
to beta test neverwinter nights which was awesome. But I played
"dad" a few times for others through the years to help them get
back on. Benefit of always being a few years older than the
people who like seeing what I type. Never bothered me. They can
scold me instead - it's just words - and always got them back
online. == But I don't think of* as a troll. I don't separate
people into troll / not-troll categories. It's just people. No
one is different to me. == I don't even know why I notice these
trends either - but I think it's 'cause I'm fascinated that
there's a WHOLE GENERATION of people who are growing up with an
amazing environment available. There's a lot of good and of
course there's a lot of evil (like online bullying - which is a
big deal if your identity is wrapped up in your online persona)
but overall, I think it'll be a stronger generation for it. I
wanna know who's gonna be in charge when I'm an old man so I
notice trends and try to anticipate what effects they'll have. I
see mostly good things. ==
