    This is why I could never, ever become a billionaire. I just couldn’t go through with it, harming or exploiting other actual, real people just to become (excessively) rich…

      Ah, but the trick is perceiving everyone else as just NPCs and you as the main character. It’s called sociopathy.

      Beginning to think everyone around here really is autistic. The most obvious jokes and sarcasm, right over their heads. Maybe it’s a social media thing, but I can’t imagine how some of these folks function IRL.
