Let's assume for a moment that you actually manage to scrape your random vagaries into a coherent thought, the likelyhood that anyone will be able to distinguish it from the rest of the BS noise you produce is minimal.

I don't believe people should be locked into a paradigm of behavior based upon "generational" expectations or stereotypes.
You are what you choose to be. In the case of the internet, you are what you present yourself to be. While fully recognizing that I should clean up my own house first, I'd encourage you to chose to be something else than what you've presented yourself to be here.

You seem to be suggesting some social gambit tantamount to being false. Much prefer being my true self.

Like it or not, we all face frequent incidental testing and circumstantial trials. Robert Frost once wrote an essay titled, "Trial by Existence". Some pundit recently quipped that "Life is a hell of a thing to happen to a person." My perspective is that our challenges may include thought, people, system and disaster test ...[text shortened]... o the next progressive difficulty level of testing.
