Envious, mostly. I can't exactly blame the dice if I got a lower Charisma roll than theirs. It's a mistake to believe that society should be fair when it is so heavily influenced by random factors.

I don't interact with that type very much in person, as they tend to ignore or rebuff me when I approach them, and they only engage or approach me when they think they can make money by doing so. So they're sort of like animatronic people, I guess? You have to buy a ticket, but then they just read to you from a script.

I'm old enough now to know that nothing stays the same forever. Slashdot got sold to Dice. The H in HN got diluted. So what? I can't control it, so I just enjoy it for what it is while it lasts, and will drift away whenever it no longer feels right.
