Feels that way.

Your brain came with magic smoke? I didn't get magic smoke with mine. Was that a standard option or did your parents have to pay extra for it?

It's the cause of that burning smell when I think hard, I guess. I don't know if it's an extra-cost option or not ... maybe it was an either-or on the option grid -- you can have magic smoke, OR social skills, but not both.

ok, that was really funny.

Because it preys upon his mind. He thinks life would go much better if he had social skills. He'd be able to schmooze people in to giving him jobs, he'd be a better father because he could understand why his children do what they do, and he could go out and get any woman he wanted.

Or, one could just say that it sucks going through life interacting with people on a black-box basis and having a hard time even just talking because you don't know the social rules.

We all do that though to one extent or the other. One is never certain from one moment to the next how another person is going to react. I mean look at what's happening in #C.U again. You only get a feel for how people will react after a close or long association. Sometimes not even then.

thinking uses up your magic smoke. don't think and it will increase again.
