I think I would take Amazon's money but not bezos', too.

Though a lot of regular people have amzn stock (the lucky fucks), so not above a few mil. Not enough to make the stock suffer.

I bought a hard drive from Amazon a few weeks back just because I needed to move files around drives that needed reformatting. Thrashed the gently caress out of it, got what I needed to do done and returned it for a full refund minus £3 shipping. I feel bad now because that will probably cause AMZN to tank and cause a recession. :ohdear:

Mouth/Grizzly goon update: just got back from the dentist. Both the hygienist and my dentist had a look at my mouth and concluded that I have nothing to worry about (as long as I quit dip, which I am already doing). Only a tiny bit of tissue buildup, but no cancer. It’s an understatement to say that I’m relieved.

Thanks for your encouragement. I think it’s safe to say that I’m never going to touch tobacco again, given how the relapse sent me into a fit of anxiety. This thread has made me a slightly less lovely person, and for that I am forever grateful.

Woah I forgot about this thread. I'm gonna bring back the edgelord study


Imo rank is more useful than score because it gives you an idea of where you are compared to everyone who took the test. I got fuckin 9% (1.6) on greed and 72% (3) on self centeredness. I got 14% 1.8 on psycho so I guess that's good? Everything else is under 45 except sadism that's 55%

38% 2.4 overall. After thinking about it, yeah I actually would do some hosed up revenge poo poo or hands down instantly steal a million bucks if I couldn't get caught. Who the gently caress wouldn't take the money and run what the gently caress kinda question is that? I demand to know what dumbass would not steal one loving million bucks in that situation! Ain't no fuckin orphans have a million. Besides you could do good with that and still be made if you take care of it right.

I feel like naming the trait "Machiavellianism" kind of does a disservice to the book tho

i got fuckin 2% on greed and 99% on moral disengagement

Puppetmaster sent in another fesh getting mad at H.H for thinking his last email was about Pick (it was actually a direct response to the guy who broke up his sister's marriage) because his passphrase references Pick. I could post it but it's boring; H.H knows where to find the email if he wants to see it :shrug:

Here's the original one though

quote:

This is the puppetmaster speaking. This isn't a confession, per se, but since my whole "thing" is being anonymous I can't just reply in the thread.

First, so-called-puppetmaster (if that is your real name), it's actually *harder* to manipulate people online than IRL, at least, if you're not some sadsack spergin' goony gently caress. There's so much more signal IRL - body language, facial expression, tone of voice... but if you can't relate to people I guess it's better to sit behind a computer so they don't bitch slap you when they immediately figure out what you're attempting :lofty:

I noticed your sister's main crime seems to be being "smug". What makes your sister "smug" OP? Because she wouldn't gently caress you? Has friends, goes to parties? God, what a loving Stacy - entering into a loving monogamous partnership. :rolleye:

You are no puppetmaster, you are the puppet - your broken brain that was warped by watching too much of the hit 1994 Jim Carrey comedy "The Mask"[1] as a child is pulling the strings.

[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXI_t5qyAQY

You know you can just post in the thread normal-style and you can get your thoughts out even if people don't know they were written by "The Puppetmaster" right? They don't actually have to be associated with your fesh brand. Just be a normal poster

quote:

someone sent me this because they know I like to troll Reddit and thought it was mine. Now I'm super freaked out because I didn't post it, and if I didn;'t and my friend who also trolls the relationships thread didn't post it, it might be real: https://old.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/9vb4hf/my_32_m_girlfriend_23f_violated_my_privacy_and/

Here's a link to see the deleted posts: https://snew.github.io/r/relationships/comments/9vb4hf/my_32_m_girlfriend_23f_violated_my_privacy_and/

Anyway honestly I wouldn't worry about it. For one thing I'd bet there are more than two people total posting fake content to r/r, and for another thing, if it is real, a creepy dude's girlfriend stole his phone and broke up with him, so what?

From what I can tell that guy's biggest mental issue seems to be spectrum-related anyway

My confession is that I'm about to disappear...

I'm applying for a few jobs, and one is 100% remote.My family isn't very nice, I feel distant from my "friends"... it might be nice to start over.

It would be relatively easy. Forward all my mail to a PO box, change my phone number, change my email, avoid using credit cards out and about.

I'd be "on the grid" in the sense someone could track down my ATM usage or trace the new cell number I give out to a cell tower, or stake out my PO box, but for the most part I'd be anonymous. I like the idea of being a sort of urban-Thoreau. Not backpacking around like a digital nomad, but picking a cheap city, finding some cheap place to live and spending a lot of time reading (the global brain is cool and I never had time to read Godel, Escher, Bach in grad school), watching movies and :420: when not doing my engineer work. I have a few ideas of where I'd go to do this but obviously I'll leave it to your imagination and just say they're within the USA.

I'm not like, a weird incel or anything and I think in the long term I'd join some clubs or something, but I think 6 months to a year of a kind of urban monk existence might be nice.

People do weirder than this all the time, honestly, go for it :shrug:

I wouldn't worry about being tracked down by detectives or whatever though. Even if a relative does find out where you are somehow, the worst you'd have to endure would be a worried phone call in which you tell them you're just taking some time to travel by yourself and that'd probably be it.

I stopped aging at about 30. Not a thing has changed since then. Not one grey hair, no wrinkles, no bad knees. I travel the country, screwing college girls everywhere.

I am 71.
