In truth, I don’t see why personal media server libraries aren’t more popular, but that’s just me.

Hey check out my digital media collection.

That is the largest flash drive I’ve seen…is it from the 80’s or something?

Correct.

I see I lit a flame to a powder keg. Whoops.

Mfm, sorry, I guess it was a shitty thing to say, I thought I was being chummy, and people have made the same “joke” to me, including my own mother, so I guess I didn’t expect it would be as provocative as it was. Sorry again, I’ll try to be more careful with what I say.

This is probably the best thread for this question, so I’ll post it here rather than somewhere else, but what is it that you all see in other people? I mean what is your reaction to seeing them, hearing them, and being near them? This is a genuine question because I don’t get it and I know that how I feel is not normal, but I’m not sure to what degree.

Depends. I can’t wait to get away from most of them. After about three weeks being stuck with the same people, I start to enjoy being around them if they’re good natured. Stick around too long and I need to leave again.

This is how I feel too. I hate pretty much everybody, if I grow to like people I’ll realize I hate them within the year. I appreciate that you immediately understood my question though. Do you also think of “people” almost as an entity? I just think of “people” and don’t immediately think of a bunch of unique individuals. I just think of “people” as this thing. I can’t describe it but I’m curious if you know what I’m saying because you understood my question that, now that I reread it after Frink’s response, might look weird to a normal person.

I ought to answer this since you asked me specifically. I’m not sure I understand this question as much, unfortunately. When you say people, I think of an entity, not individuals, but when I interact with people, I’m interacting with individuals. Describing how I feel about people is more generalized. To me, what you’re describing is what I refer to as “The masses”.

What people? Do I know these people? What are they doing?

The obvious answer is “it depends.”

All of them. Do you get sick when you hear people talk?

Depends on what they’re saying but generally no.

Do you feel threatened when someone looks in your direction?

Depends on the look on their face (and how long they hold my gaze) but generally no.

Do you hate people that stand in your way?

Sometimes. Depends if I have to get somewhere in a timely manner and they are delaying me.

I tend to hate all people and being in close proximity to them makes me feel physically ill and really angry, even if they aren’t actually doing anything particularly awful.

Crowds do tend to get on my nerves sometimes, but it makes me more annoyed and wishing I was somewhere else, and less ill/angry.

My main point is that I can’t comprehend how anyone could possibly enjoy other people. It isn’t that I hate them and am bitter that other people aren’t as misanthropic as me, I just really don’t understand how anyone could honestly enjoy or even tolerate the presence of most other people. I’m just trying to understand.

It seems like you’re talking about strangers, but from other conversations I gather you’ve had a lot of experience with people you know letting you down one way or another. Strangers don’t bother me unless they’re actively bothering me. Acquaintances are different in that I know them (somewhat) so their habits have more time to work on me and annoy me. With that said I work with a pretty decent group of folk, and I generally like my job, so tolerating some of their occasional minor annoying habits isn’t that hard.

More or less ditto.

More or less ditto, other than liking my job.

Politics 2: Electric Boogaloo

That was after the Republican Party started going after the “Moral Majority”, a movement that started with Reagan, so Nixon doesn’t really fit in that analysis as the party was very different. Now, with Trump and Sanders and everyone, this is probably the first time the parties have moved significantly away from the ideas established under Reagan.
