“Was this woman hot?” I ask Stan.

The sweet old man frows.

“Hot?” he asks.

“Yeah, man, hot? You told me a woman lady changed your life. If she’s hot too, she could be prime wife material!”

His attitude does a complete 180 degrees turn.

“You scoundrel! I tell you about a woman who changed my life upside down and you ask if she’s hot!?” the old man loses his calm and a few passer-bys glare at me.

“I’m sorry, man, I didn’t want to upset you. I was joking, I was joking,” I raise my hands in the air.

God, I’m really tired. Subtlety is not my strong suit at the moment.

“You better not be disrespectful, child,” Stan glares at me, “that woman was the fairest I have ever met. And she was just slightly older than you.”

Have I mentioned before that I’m a pig?

Well, if you didn’t know before, now you know.

My brain translates those words into the crasser equivalent and I’m finally content.

‘Yes, she was hot.’

ngl, to me crying is way more effective than meditation

Is that a problem for me?

Well… Not really.

It’s not my fault that I like to think in sexual terms of every female I meet. Well, maybe not every single one. Flaminia and I are clearly hitting it off as friends and I’m not that interested in her.

Would I mind seeing her naked?

I don’t think so.

But do I want to see her—

Well, let’s leave it at that.

"Then… what about me?"

"You?" A disdainful expression appeared on Sunny's face. "You are the worst of them."

"Why?"

Sunny looked at him and leaned forward.

"I might have not learned much in my short life, but I do know one thing," he said, all traces of humor gone from his voice.

Now there was only cold, callous contempt. Sunny's face hardened as he spat:

"There is nothing more pathetic than a slave who begins to trust his slaver."

One learns something new everyday

Supremacy Games (Both parents dead)
My House of Horrors (Both parents missing)

"In the PC game Civilization, Gandhi was known for often being the first one to use nuclear weapons, which seems contrary to his expected passive nature. Players had a theory that Gandhi’s aggression setting was initially set at 1, but if he chose a democratic government, he’d get a -1 aggression modifier (lowering his current aggression value by 2). This would cause his aggression to overflow to 255, making him maximally aggressive! However, more recently Sid Meier (the game’s author) clarified that this wasn’t actually the case."

The human experience is to view yourself as one centralized static entity.

But if you zoom out, there are thousands of different versions of you decentralized across the video game of life.
