"angry techsavvy teenager" but your "friends" "are in their 50s." Riiiighht. At least you're able to have a multifaceted conversation in this context. "They are pretty cool dudes with a messed up sense of humor." I dunno but that sounds pretty sociopathic right there, like my friends are cool dudes with a penchant for stealing walkers from old ladies. There's a certain character type that revels in the rule of the strongest. Bullying and screwing with people because they can. They feel it's the natural order of things. If they don't take advantage of someone or some opportunity, someone else will and be ahead--and they'd rather be ahead. Or they justify it as a way to "teach" others to not be weak and fall for things. In many ways, I think it is a right-wing or conservative characteristic: rugged individualist winning by breaking social conventions. I also saw it prominently in the House TV series, not coincidentally on Fox. Every episode is a medical mystery, but also all about screwing over other people emotionally--it really seemed off to me. In my mind, they are low-trust players trying to undermine and benefit from breaking a high-trust society.
