Title: I'm kind of a sociopath.
Post by: recursivelyenumerable on September 28, 2008, 08:50:11 AM: I've been trying all night to learn to empathize with other people and I just can't do it.

Perhaps you just need a big, manly group hug. We'll collectively make you feel something, I'm sure.

Take for example - Willco's firing. He's all, woe is me, right?

So your initial reaction would be like "BFD. Welcome to life."

But you can't do that cause you would be all asshole like, and that would be cool.

So you have to pretend and churn out some regurgitated response like "Oh man, that sucks, Willco. I hope you will be ok."

But you know that's not true either. But you say it anyway.

Post by: TVC15 on September 28, 2008, 06:34:51 PM: Welcome to the club, mr. enumarble. And spot on, demi. There's lot of pre-preparation that goes into this if you want to make it work. Think of it as a sort of semantic mental reprogramming. This is the sign, and this is how you need to react. People are remarkably predictable, so it's not THAT much work. I still think I come off as harsh sometimes if I let my guard down.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on September 28, 2008, 06:37:39 PM: can we leper this fake sociopath and usher in the return of the original sociopath, G?
Title: Re: I'm kind of a sociopath.
Post by: TVC15 on September 28, 2008, 06:39:54 PM: I don't think we have enough information to label G as anything but "crazy." Mainly because we have no idea what exactly the truth was. I think maybe he was some sort of schizophrenic, probably induced by eating too much McDonalds.
Title: Re: I'm kind of a sociopath.
Post by: Madrun Badrun on September 28, 2008, 06:49:02 PM: Are you implying McDonalds is a vector of craziness, whiteman?

The twinkie defense worked for Dan White. I'm sure that once G goes on a murderous rampage, his lawyer, Malek's only shot at leniency will be spinning the McDonalds defense.

Post by: Madrun Badrun on September 28, 2008, 07:07:20 PM: I hear Malek keeps skipping class just to go research Mcdonalds everyday. What a dedicated man.

If G's pants don't fit, you must acquit!

remember when G said gangsters shotgunned his dad in the legs and he died in G's arms.

And then later on when he got busted in that particular lie, he was like "well, he's dead TO ME."
Title: Re: I'm kind of a sociopath.
Post by: Madrun Badrun on September 28, 2008, 07:14:14 PM: If I had a father, and he couldn't even stand up to some shotgun carrying gangstas, I would disown him in embarrassment too.
Title: Re: I'm kind of a sociopath.
Post by: Phoenix Dark on September 28, 2008, 07:15:08 PM: I read that and was so shocked by the mere thought that I kinda believed him. But like a few weeks later he was talking about his dad in present tense

as someone who has spent years lying on the internet I must say G was fucking sloppy.
