Are you 'Moving on up' or are you stagnant and slowly fading away?

Anyone who has time to write and post one idiotic question after another is by definition a loser. 

People reading and responding to these questions are more likely than not also in the loser rubric, which would make this a confession. 

Striving is overrated anyway. It really depends on what kind of loser you are. 

The worst kind are the Trumpian losers. If you are in the orange cult you are beyond hope. Go for euthanasia/reincarnation.

I suspect the vast majority fit neither of his ridiculous descriptions.

I'd consider anyone that needs to count their money every day (cos they might not have enough to buy lunch) as a loser.

 

At 7am I'm out cycling in the jungle and mountains.

+1. Happy I ain't see the world thru OP's black/white filter. Are there a cure for checking crypto 7AM @ Starbucks?

It's a good question.

 

'Bob' is a tormented soul, and it would be good for everyone -primarily him - if he was to emerge from the dark side and rebuild his character.

 

Maybe he is a lost cause and he is best left being laughed at.  It's his choice.

 

Or maybe he is just taking the piss.😃

 

I spend many hours a day on my computer writing iPhone apps, I take a break now and then and so I look on this site just to do something simple for a few minutes, Bob's comments make me laugh and the people who take him seriously and end up 'fighting' with him make me laugh even more.

It reminds me of the canine world.  It is known that dogs will do anything to get attention from their owners - it's called strokes.  Good owners do stroke their dogs, of course.  Bad owners beat their dogs, but the dogs still come back for more because it is attention from a human.  To an animal psychologist both of these actions are 'strokes'.

It appears that Bob seeks attention, however it can be found, and controversial statements are easier for a damaged personality.  If he is taking the pee, it's a unique way of doing it.  Nope, it ain't that clever.  He's lonely, probably friendless, and definitely not rich (successful people don't have his characteristics - unless he obtained the money in a nefarious way).  Only a masochist would visit this forum so often and consistently fail to be courteous to the members: if it was a private club he would have had his membership revoked a long time ago.

I would really like 'Bob' (or whatever his real name is) to think about his approach and wonder what he is achieving.  Maybe he's the last one to get the joke.
