Faux Personality
R. Alex Whitlock
Things that do not - in and of themselves - constitute having a personality, an incomplete list:
- Wearing all black.
- An unrelenting grumble-and-mutter.
- A "philosophy" of cynicism
- Thinking that conservatives/liberals are soulless, evil entities of which one must spend their life opposing without, you know, actually doing anything to change things.
- Knowing extraordinary amounts of minutae regarding esoteric subjects of minimal use in day-to-day operations.
- Being really, really skilled with computers.
- Knowing six stock philosophical points gleamed from pop culture (Star Wars, Fight Club, Matrix, etc.).
- Believing that information, entertainment, and everything else ought to be free - and believing this to be a profound, revolutionary concept.
- Liking to party a lot.
- Being stuck in the 60's, 70's, or 80's and viewing things from those periods as the pinnacle of... something. Whatever. The decade is over, dude.
- Understanding what irony is and failing to acknowledge that irony may have its limits.
- Loving Jesus totally and making a spectator sport out of your love for Him.
- Apathy as a philosophy.

Observations
Damn, I had to check too many of these boxes.
I check a couple myself.
As long as such things are not actually a substitute for a personality, you're okay.
Wait, you're talking individually, right? I mean, two or more would certainly qualify as a personality.
Here's another:
Following a somewhat unique sport or hobby to the point of fanatacism. (You're absolutely right. I just don't "get" Formula 1 racing.)

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
