I feel like that's pretty likely a bigger element of it when I was younger, though I'm sure it always figures in to some degree. Although part of it is circular: when people all treat you like you're nicer/smarter/e

I've seen something similar with my fitness. I've gone from competitive powerlifter to very obese to moderately fit, and the ways in which it changes the way almost everyone interacts with you, all the time, is just insane - from

And the solution to broken copyright law is to ignore it, at the expense of working-class authors, rather than ... working on the law? You realize this undermines the ability of our society to produce the actual written works that we'r

While I grant that that is true, and likely a contributing factor, it's worth noting that police have other disabling weapons at their disposal. The ease with which one, and the other, are deployed again suggests that it's not sim
