Or being a certain sect of it like I can be seen as.
The third one (and for most people it's probably it, in fact you could technically make the second one a subcategory of the third one, as narcissism is a condition of the mind, and no, professional analysis dismisses the idea I am a narcissist despite the fact many people seem born ready to leap to that conclusion based on the idea the room seems not to be read alongside some elements of pride I carry) brings up something that even as a technical neurotypical (depends on the definition) I don't get. If a social rule is so important, why does society keep it "unspoken"? I can't imagine God for example being like "well, these rules are important, but instead of giving you these rules on Mt. Sinai, I'm just going to have faith in you on this one" (going back to the narcissism part, I'd argue that to me, leaving it "to the norms" comes off as more what I would expect from a "narcissistic" individual, I guess Socrates isn't welcome in our society). Of course, the other things are not out of the question, and there's a bit of nuance omitted (it's where my experiences diverge from my BF's, in fact I phrased it with my BF in mind), but nothing deceptive,
True human connections
No, though not for a lack of trying. I'm not saying this because it's what a downer would say, but we have similar formulated gifting programs where I live, and people have grown wary. It's understandable anything that is close to the donation industry is going to inspire this. The askers even went from asking for super big things like play sets to remarkably small things like a t-shirt as there are always users. It feels like we're going about it wrong. If I see people suffering on the dark side of the economy, I'd rather just personally offer them my roof to stay under. Why institutionally beat around the bush as they say? In the words of Shia LaBeouf, just do it.
Can it run Doom?
That moment when you take the advice to ride a horse the wrong way.
Thanks Obama.
We're all Pokemon fans, and one year for I think Halloween, when we got tired of dressing up as Team Rocket and going door to door reciting the Team Rocket motto for candy each year (because we couldn't agree on the best arrangement, and to be fair, I needed a break from being Wobbuffet), we dressed up as a female Team Magma grunt (one of my best friends), a male Team Aqua grunt (the other best friend), a female Team Snagem grunt (me), and I think a male Cipher grunt (my BF). As a joke, all of us except my BF (Cipher grunts canonically didn't exist for raiding) pretended to raid each other's candy and recruit people to our team, but everyone including onlookers got carried away and we ignited something. Whoopsadoodle.
No, but oddly the reverse is the case, where it's illegal to feed the homeless. They're afraid of poisonings.
No, but I have a neighbor (who is otherwise a recluse) who has been noticed mowing his lawn at three in the morning, also while not wearing anything.
That's how old I am right now, and my mum (who was already retirement age when she adopted me) passed away a few months ago (dad, who was not elderly, passed away corresponding to the pandemic). Looking through our old belongings feels like peeking through a window at another lifetime. I'm becoming a quarter of a century old next month for both of us.
