Internet You vs Life You
|
In real life I actually have to fear physical retaliation from people who disagree with my opinions, so I'm somewhat paranoid when walking around corners, that's all.

I try to be myself. I much prefer communicating in writing. I think I'm quite introverted IRL so try to repress that encroaching into my online persona.
People fascinate me and I find that them revealing their real lives in pictures and videos nearly always presents them in a really different light /conflicted 
I can't tell anymore. Is that weird?
I don't know and I don't much care. I probably say fewer things which no one gets here since there is more opportunity to delete shit if it doesn't look right. In real life people seem to find me humorous but also unpredictably cantankerous. I shoot from the hip a lot.
Needless to say, I'm not a Cuban astronaut...yet.
But srsly, I find it hard to describe myself in RL vis what I'm like online. I guess I'd be less upfront with someone who was annoying me in RL, but I've been in a debates a number of times and I'd like to say that I stick to the same kind of attitude that I have online. Maybe a little less heated unless the opponent starts to get heated too I guess. 
I'm pretty assertive in real life, and it gets me into trouble. My wife calls me out on it, so at least I have some checks and balances there. Here, I'm all teeth and claws!
I have two sets of personalities. The one that comes out when I'm around people I'm comfortable with and the one that comes out when I'm uncomfortable.
My online persona consists solely of the former.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
Pretty much what you see is what you get.
The avatar is a picture of me, although a few years younger. In real life, I am no less committed to a naturalistic, secular, humanist world view. The main difference is that I am more loquacious and more polite. I don't normally pick fights.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method. 
I'm pretty much the same, only I talk about boning more on the internet. Haha

My online persona matches my RL persona when I'm with friends and close family. With strangers or people I don't particularly like, I tend to be very quiet and aloof.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
