I must have missed this boat and I'm having trouble understanding why people would do this. None of my colleagues, who are involved in tech fields such as my self, have ever done this.

There must be an 'origin story' along with a tradition. Isn't there?

Is this a niche objection to Javascript? If so, what are the objections and why are so few people, as far as I can tell, not concerned at all about this?

I had a vasectomy this week and needed something to do for a few days while I was down. A co-worker recommended star citizen (explaining the caveats). I love it so far, and if anyone here plays I'd love to add you to my friends list.

I get very confused and urgent and it can be many minutes before I understand that I'm arguing from nothing but internal stress. It's a maddening habit that everyone around me finds repulsive. I have thought that it would be possible to make friends who could help to intervene when I am losing polite perspective, but I am not sure if this expectation has ever really functioned. I don't want to disavow any responsibility in telling my friends they have to jump in on my frequent malfunctions, that sounds unfair. But I'm not making much progress on getting over myself by myself. What to do.
