I've played characters that were driven by goals or ideals that wouldn't drive me. The most recent Paladin I played (which was twenty years ago) falls into that category. Playing him was fun, but the other characters in the party were not like him at all in terms of their motivations and...

A PC user could always write their own kernel if they don't care for Windows or Linux.

An inability to understand? Perhaps. It feels more like apathy towards the rewards than deficiency, but the circumstances might be compelling in a specific case. If one is already comfortable where they are, then there just doesn't seem sufficient reason to engage risk. If there is a...

Perhaps this is why I don't play anymore, despite being given a couple of opportunities to try playing in two different online campaigns. If I were offered some possible loot and some possible treasure (there are rumors that an old, mysterious cave contains within it a new PC, the latest...

It is a kind of unconscious self-defense mechanism. The pursuit of greater wealth, power, or fame acts as a distraction, and a hedge against the fear of death. It's a bid for immortality.

Someone really doesn't like having their toys insulted ... there are definitely some pretty thin-skinned defenders of shovelware who think that they can comment on threads surreptitiously in other threads

Where'd you get that idea? I'm asking questions. I'm in other threads. Are you looking into my consciousness again to see what I'm really interested in?

There are plenty of things about myself I don't know. It's lovely to discover more as I move through time, having new experiences. Whether or not a new discovery in my colon, for example, has value - it might. If I have colon cancer, for example. I don't know if that's really valuable to...

I would enjoy washing the dishes so much more if the level of the kitchen sink was about a foot higher. =)

I think big tech wants AI out in the world, semi-wild and interacting with people, partially to train AI, but also specifically for the purpose of better identifying particular use-cases, optimally ones that can be monetized with little or no backlash because AI becomes both very routine to use...

If blackmail is actually what I'm doing, then I would be engaging in illegal behavior under Federal Law: 18 U.S. Code § 873 So your conscience should probably be telling you to contact the FTC, the DOJ, or some other three-letter federal agency to report it. P.S. I've made my clarification...
