    You don't have to keep score, unless YOU want to. Anyone else's ideas about scoring don't matter. You might think that they do, especially if you are young, but they really don't. It can be hard at first to forge your own path, but it becomes much easier than you think. Most of those hardships you dread will fade away or be more manageable if you live how you want to live. This is the ultimate sandbox, play it how you want to. As you figured out, there is no highscore screen at the end.

    But yes, as others have stated, you do sound like you have some depression which shouldn't be overlooked. Just getting some help with that can make a world of difference.

    Do you think it might be a musical pattern? Similar to playing the piano, but instead using the four switches.

    The closest back then we had were letters to the editor. The difference was most everyone knew to take any thing written in them with a huge amount of skepticism. Now there is no such dividing line.

    I'm getting to the point where the internet (aka "people") really disturbs me. I don't know if I'm just getting old, or what, but I think I'm happier just not knowing stuff like this exists. Man,...

    I'm getting to the point where the internet (aka "people") really disturbs me. I don't know if I'm just getting old, or what, but I think I'm happier just not knowing stuff like this exists. Man, and I really love learning new stuff. It's a quandary.

    Why would you just post another link to the same article? And nothing else?

    I guess for me is I don't know who Brock Turner is, I missed that one last year. So, I was believing you were either misinformed or had an agenda that I couldn't figure out by using some nickname. It was when I finally found out it was a joke, that I got fed up and closed the thread. But then I thought about it and opened it back up enough to leave my previous comment. I understand the seriousness of and respect what you are trying to get at, but your attempt left me feeling the opposite. I guess if I was on the "in" it might have come across differently.

    You were intentionally misleading for a joke? Damn, people, can we have one serious discussion without puns and jokes? I don't know about anyone else, but it really derails my interest and I end up closing an otherwise interesting thread when I get annoyed at the never ending attempts at lame humor. Sorry to add this here, but you all seem to actually care enough to at least listen to my peeve. Still, definitely not going to hold my breath about any change in this regard.

    Huh, it made me sad. Weird how things go. Edit: Forgot to say why... It's like they brought home to him, but almost, leaving him on the only place around him not home. In fact they memorialize,...

    Edit: Forgot to say why... It's like they brought home to him, but almost, leaving him on the only place around him not home. In fact they memorialize, purposely making it so he never gets to go home. And it is so close...
