I feel like you and I would probably have a lot of good conversations. I don't say that to many people. Thank you for everything you post here, it's part of what keeps me going buddy.
No, thankfully I could see where his humor was coming from. He was quite lonely after we moved to a rural republican area. So I made it a point to not bring girls home for noisy one night stands, and to spend more time with him and our mutual friends. Getting married and having kids probably helped me settle down. I'm very sad he doesn't get to meet his youngest nephew.
Eta: I did laugh at the question, that's why I like to tell these stories.
My late brother used to love to bust my balls, so him being the person he was, would introduce me (us) as "he's the gayest straight man you'll ever meet, and I'm the straightest gay man you'll ever meet". He wasn't flamboyant or anything, and I do enjoy antiques and musicals. He also threatened to haunt my left testicle if I kept having raucous sex without bringing someone home for him. Anyway, thanks for reading. I miss that big, proud asshole.
Anywhere there are people, regardless of population density, there will be some with badly wired brain cells.
While I can't necessarily disagree with your correlation≠causation argument...
I could just as easily claim that vehicle fuel economy improving during the 70's caused a decrease in female suicides.
Better gas mileage probably contributed a more than zero amount to that decrease.
Infinite money and access to unscrupulous doctors combined with mental illness and body dismorphia caused by years of abuse will do that to a person, go figure.
I still have notebooks full of my late brother's Vampire games. He was an accomplished DM in many circles. Printed copies of real estate listings in NYC that he used in game. Dozens of npcs, lore from multiple clans. If anyone has a use for thousands of dollars worth of whitewolf VtM original books...I have a literal laundry basket full since nobody I know will play.
You'll get downvoted because you're wrong. They're government employees, the fact that they were trying to hide their identities doesn't magically make it not public information.
Dude, just join the SCA. I promise it's right where you want to be.

Had to have the landlord come and fix a relatively minor issue with our shower. About lost my mind making sure the place looked presentable for him to fix something he's responsible for. Trauma sucks
