I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

I think I'll ask Suu.

She's an industry professional, and she knows all about this stuff. 

SUU?  CLEAR THIS BULLSHIT UP, PLS.

If RWHN spends 8 hours a day sleeping and works a 40 hour week, he has had 31100 spare hours in the last eight years to split between social activities, his family, his hobbies and spent 15% of that time here.

If numbers are all that matter, we know him better than any family members who he doesn't see every day for at least one and a half hours. What percentage of time does any poor fool have to be exposed to you, RWHN, to meet your arbitrary criteria for an "informed position" on the really real you?

It doesn't particularly matter whether we interact with one another's real selves or not real selves. If a not real self acts like an asshole I'm perfectly comfortable treating that not real self as one.

Also, since we're measuring, and I do hope you read that with a wink - 5 on the Narcissist scale. I'm with Cain on finding a low result interesting.

The statements looked largely to be organized into absolute and non-absolute statements. Given those two options, I will almost always choose a non-absolute. And re-reading those last two sentences that seems to be a fairly consistent trait of mine. Shit I can't turn it off.

Eh, I don't hate Duffle, and wouldn't cut off his life support (unless that is explicitly stated in a living will). I do have beef with him, mostly due to his willful or not misinterpretation of the things I said in the Rolling Stone thread (I heartily disagree with him on other matters but it was that that riled me). I do also find his position on capital punishment supportive of the assertion that he's authoritarian.

But much in the way that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev found his way to kill relative innocents, there's a reason why Duffle is the way he is too. Maybe due to being all hopped up on the Arabica beans once maybe twice a day. But he has shown bipedalism in the past, which means he's capable of it now. He's shown it recently too, for apologizing for calling me assface after I showed concern for what I see as a premature engagement.

I still think it's premature, and will continue to do so, but I hope that despite the fact it works out for all those involved.

That isn't necessarily the case.

Perhaps. But I stand by my statement that I don't hate the guy, since he is, at the end of the day, a human being, with all of his flaws and merits. We just happen to see more of his flaws than merits, especially as of late (Duffle, the fact that Hoopla made a rare post to say you're acting uncharacteristically should be an indicator. I don't even remember the last time he posted before that. Not an attack, just a pointing out.)

That's WHY I hate him.

I scored 43. Answering question 15 was a bit disturbing, but I had to be honest.

FORTY-THREE? I don't think it even goes that high...
