So, I just got introduced as
"The nicest person you'll ever meet and the most unfortunate person to ever cross."
Does that sum me up well?
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

Isn't that some sort of cliche/cheesy "quote"/line?
If so, I'd be ashamed someone described me using those words.

Are you incapable of googling it?

This amuses me because it demonstrates perfectly how narrow of a facet of me any of you have seen, and more importantly how the majority of you interpret everything I do and say based on that itty bitty facet rather than at face value.

Isn't that how forums work though? It's not as though any single one of us knows more about each other than what we see each other post.

It is yes, but it's good for both sides of that to sanity check it now and then and see a comparison of how the internet thinks of a person vs how people who actually know them do.
Think of how many people here you have an opinion on based on how little you really know of them.
It makes you wonder how many of you are even aware that your opinion is, or should be, constrained to the context it originated from.

Untradeable is probably the only person who voted who is pretty new here so it could be taken as a first impression I guess.

I'm aware you think I have them.
I am not necessarily aware of what you think my biases are.
About most of them I suspect you are mistaken.

i am fully aware that what you show isn't all there is, as said, that's how forums work, however, i'm only judging what i see, not what i have yet to see.

"Are you without biases or have you never noticed them?" You assumed the worst of my post because of previous experiences when you could've just answered the question objectively.
I'm not mocking you, either. I have biases, too.

That wasn't an example of bias, that was an example of responding to a vague question with the assumption it was a continuation of the last time the same person brought up the same subject.
To answer the extremely general question, yes, I am aware of my biases. They're seldom relevant, really.

I don't know enough about you to say much on the line, really. It doesn't seem too far wrong from what I do know.
