[QUOTE="Hida Bukkorosu, post: 1739191, member: 7494"] some of you people (you know who you are) sicken me. i am a social misfit. i'm 27, never had anything remotely resembling a relationship or date in my life, and yes, i still live off my parents. i'm trying to be independent, but i'm pretty sure that as soon as i graduate i will fail spectacularly. why? why would someone hire me when they could hire someone who's equally smart and a non-misfit. or just outsource the job to india or somewhere. and you people, you want to rob those like me of the one thing that makes our lives something approaching tolerable for a few brief hours. because we "bring down the public perception of the hobby". i suppose from a darwinian point of view, this may be a good thing. i mean, i'm already not reproducing, but i suppose it's best for the species if people like me aren't consuming resources, and giving us less things to numb the pain of life might be good if more of us kill ourselves. i'm gonna kill myself when i turn 30 (or sooner, if my means of support dries up). as far as hygeine, why should i bathe? i've been bathing frequently for the last couple weeks and it hasn't made me any more attractive to girls, so why should i bother? why should i bother doing anything? why live?
