So let's talk about stereotypes or sweeping generalizations about our community, and to be specific the ones you and I think about each other.

I'm going to start off by saying,

I think we all get way too much mail and probably keep the postal services in business.

I've recently been described as having a keyboard fetish.

Would that apply to everyone else here?

Mind you, the guy that described me thus seems to have a fetish fetish.

We all get excited when we get an unexpected package because we completely forgot we ordered something or it's been so many months since the group buy ended we don't remember what we ordered.

Yep. I hate opening a package thinking it's something I've been eagerly awaiting and then find something boring I ordered off ebay, happens to me all the damn time.

It's one reason why I love getting packages from Bro or Bunny, no mistaking those packages :)

This has been a problem for me, at least when family politics came around..

I handle internal affairs like I do the internet, I'll give it straight and skip the politeness / sugary attitude.

There is a specific branch on my fam-tree that can't take it straight...  I am an absolute nightmare to them...


Imagine you think everyone thinks you're top-dawg...  then someone comes along tells you , eh, that's pretty mediocre,  and there's NOTHING you can do to stop him from saying what he said.



See, on the internet, we're all very familiar with this...  but the perpetually AFK generation simply can not deal with this fall from their own disproportionately high pedestal..

I get weird looks at the PO for always drawing on my packages.

Everyone draws on their packages, right?
