I disagree with all the tracking companies are forcing on us. While some of it is necessary and can be very beneficial that isn't how our data is largely being used. With that I just don't buy Sony, Ubisoft, or other companies products any longer. I do miss out on playing some games my friends are all talking about but I do not cave just to be in the hype.

Treat these companies like that crazy ex. You know they are bad for you and what you are signing up for if you keep coming back.

Last bit is what they are potentially going to do with that data in the future. If they can build your online profile tailored to you they are going to milk you in ways you can't even fathom. Creating a reason to get you to part with more money. This is not a future I believe any gamer wants when the games are made to make you pay more for the experience. Before anyone says it isn't like that, tell it to all the AI companies scrapping pre-AI data now. We aren't making a deal with the devil, we are helping them create the devil.

I'm alive so winning. Didn't mean to be a downer on your birthday. We're in this shit together. Hope your situation with medical improves!

Having had cancer 20+ years ago as a teen I can vouch that the healthcare system here has ruined my life. Survived the stage 3 head cancer and the side effects? Wonderful! NOW PAY UP FOR THE REST OF YOUR PROGRESSIVELY WORSE LIFE! Ahh joys of unchecked capitalism.

You must construct additional pylons.

Guess they are all in the same boat

Holy crap the shit I heard friends talking about recent Blizz fuck ups and not the same company. Nearly everyone I know signed up for D4 without batting an eye. So much for showing them with your wallet. Oh wait that micro transaction store sure will.

On one hand you may get to live that "normal" life you have thought about for most of your life, instead of wondering why you are different.

On the other hand I'd lose the logical thinking, the emotional disconnect to make proper decisions, the perspectives that few ever see, and more unique traits that I have learned to utilize to my advantage.

So my answer would be absolutely not. It doesn't have to be a disability. Learn what you are, how you work and build yourself up off of what you have. I see to many "normal" folks that are so much more of a mess in life because they cannot see themselves. Now a bit of egotistical here, I fully believe if more people were able to think and rationalize like myself the world would be a much better place.
