1. Like others in this thread, I suck at chess. (But I still enjoy it.)
2. I drink 2-3 pots of very strong coffee every day.
3. Unless I'm exhausted, I can't sleep in a chair. (I have to be lying down.)
4. In RL, I'm super shy and quiet.
5. I own two horses, a dog, and three cats.
6. I considered becoming a monk at one point in my life (even though I was an atheist by then). I thought the lifestyle would suit me, except I like sex and drugs a lot... so I decided against it.
7. I think philosophy has improved the world and will continue to do so.
8. I watch a lot of videos about space exploration, science, and cosmology on YouTube.
9. (And speaking of YouTube) I think 90% of YouTube atheists are doltish idiots (or just "meh")... but the other 10% are awesome as hell.
10. I like old school video games.

It's more the character(s) that he's played. To self righteous and holier than thou. And that sappy sentimentality.
Do we have a vomit emoji?
I will give you that. I have felt that way too and even my beloved Trapper was a womanizer. I admired BJ and Potter because they were such respectful gentleman. Unfortunately Hawkeye and Trapper were the hot ones lol.
