Why Do Other Geeks Leave the House?
JG_Elliott asks: "Being a geek getting more and more frustrated with shopping trips, I've turned to the internet to buy things to save time and effort. This made me wonder, other than leaving the house for work/lectures/school, why do other geeks leave the house? What is in the big wide-world that you can't get online (other than real sex)? What do other geeks get up to in their spare time, that they recommend, as something to do out of the house?"
I regular leave the house, outside the world is actually in true 3D, zillions of colors and a resolution beyond what you can imagine. And there is an ongoing reality show - they call it .. guess what: Reality!
Really, maybe you - yes you, I don't consider myself to be one of you guys - really like to try living in some sort of pre-alpha version of the matrix.
So whats next for you guys? Have your pizza feeded through your bellybutton?
I can imagine how your body continues to grow fatter and fatter untill you can't even get through the door.
It must be unpleasant to be you...
You are messed up.
The ability to pack yourself indoors for days at a time masturbating and playing EverQuest is something civilization has only recently afforded the average person. Previously, you had to be extremely wealthy to do so: royalty, a large land-owner and so on.
Previously, virtually every single human being had no choice but to be outdoors, hunting their food, building houses, tending to their farms, fucking girls, drinking beer and singing songs in the pubs at night and so on.
Note I said FUCKING, not masturbating and wondering what that's like. Being indoors all the time reading about other people's lives or pretending to live a life you do not through video games is NOT a life at all. You're simply living in a petri dish; an experiment that is being conducted by this recent incarnation of civilization. You are going to fiddle around inside pretending to do things, watching other people do things on T.V. and then you're going to die. You will probably be cremated because it feigns to be a form of memorial, except no one has to think about your loser-ass everytime their eyes pass over a tombstone.
The one-liner got modded up because it was true and succinct. You are a loser and if you go back and look at that one-liner really hard, you might get it.
