Since you live and work in New York, which is called the Big Apple for obscure and probably highly occult reasons, that is perfectly normal behaviour. Just remember that your co-workers probably have the exactly same mindset, but they do not have NationStates to keep themselves calm and collected. So be afraid. Be very afraid. Hell, go wild and be scared shitless!


Heh, as the proverb says, "Yeah, I shall fear no evil, for I am the meanest son of a bitch in the valley".
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

More like it's the default internet forum experience. Or the internet article/video comment section experience, for that matter. But if you need a ragemuse in order to invoke your anger, those places are where you should go as fast as possible.

Yeah, I don't often play the Thieves Guild for that reason. It *can* be fun to be sneaky-sneak, but with how buggy detection is, it's not fun for long.

Abserdia found her ragemuse. I bet it makes her feel all tingly inside. Once you find your ragemuse, you stay with your ragemuse until all systems go into overload. After that the moderators usually interfere.

My favorite playstyle is long-range sniper. I like finding the maximum distance which the game will allow an arrow to actually count.
