you tolerate the dregs of humanity that populate this community so you can see the terrible ways in which they ruin every aspect of the game that you love, like an out-of-control trainwreck sliding inexorably towards you

I’m curious, what exactly has made you so jaded? Or are you just trying to be a le epic troll?

If it isn’t self-evident, then frankly, I envy your worldview. Clearly you haven’t spent enough time here. You should probably keep it that way.

You start evaluating the pros and contras of living inside a sewer treatment plant

When you find yourself hoarding broken bits of string, random chunks of plastic detritus, and ragged old socks because I might need them one day.

If that’s your attitude, then don’t. Nobody is forcing your hand. You are not required to remain here insulting people; please feel free to discontinue your visits to this forum if doing so causes you such distress.
I’m not trying to be snarky or mean. Even if you dislike the members of this online community, don’t lash out at them like that. Either make an effort to play nicely with everyone else (who are all here because they enjoy the game too) or decide it’s not for you and quit. You can still play the game without ever having to visit this forum.[/spoiler]

When you contemplate popping an engine out of an existing car and dropping it into a new one next to the old engine for more power.
Then realize you don’t have the appropriate mechanics level to do it
