I stand and applaud you, sir!
Your answer regarding your current relationship status was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!
You're restoring my faith in the younger generations
I'm assuming you're younger than me
because they have some of my pubes in the Smithsonian...
regarding the 10 points?
along, long time ago, a friend of mine worked for a defense contractor in Huntsville Alabama (He couldn't talk very much about his job, but he once told me he worked in a 'skyscraper built underground')
anyway, back before they called the internet 'the internet', He hooked up my commodore Amiga to this newfangled 'dark net' thing he told us about when he came to visit me and Jill, my former girlfriend of 8 years, a brilliant artist, a magnificently talented artist...
Stu told us about this new 'dark net' think he and his friends were using, mathematicians and defense contractors and government employees and scientists, etc etc
Stu told us they were encouraging each other to "invite artists and musicians and writers to join, to make it more eclectic"
So I was actually using some of the very first BBS and mIRC sites...
And it was SO FUCKING BORING!!
MIND NUMBINGLY BORING !!!
So even way back then, I decided to make things more fun by "being disruptive"
This was years and years before anybody ever thought of the cutesy catchphrase 'trolling'
I was simply BEING DISRUPTIVE
and my technique was simple:
DON'T BEHAVE LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE
And I noticed it really seemed to bother certain people..
It really really bothered certain control freaks...
And all I had to do was
........ TYPE
....................... DIFFERENTLY
That's all it took to get under people's skin
So basically, I'm still doing the exact same thing. People always accuse me of being from 'reddit', but I've only gone to Reddit ONE TIME (And it was less than a week ago)
nope... I'm not from Reddit
I've been using WEIRD TEXT FORMATTING since the very beginning of the internet
because it irritates people
