mmm, I picked Real Life, because I prefer real life for most things (not all). Was that the question?


RL: I spend hours in front of a computer typing in numbers, symbols, and letters to explain to an idiot box what it is supposed to do.
SL: I spend hours in front of a computer typing in numbers, symbols, and letters with an additional "ll" in front of everything to explain to an idiot object what it is supposed to do. ie: llOwnerSay("Is this what Iwas supposed to do?";);

RL: I live under a government that hands contracts to their buddies who run big businesses, but only hear people talking about the corruption in Mexico.
SL: I live under a government that likes to give money to everyone, but hear plenty of people complaining that the government only helps big businesses.

RL: I have the five senses of touch, taste, sight, hearing, and smell.
SL: I have the two senses of sight and hearing.

RL: I refuse sex because I'm moody.
SL: I refuse sex because it's stupid.

RL: I like looking at people, especially if there's something unique about them.
SL: I'm tired of looking at cloned blonde barbies with ridiculous mammaries who only know the hoochie dance, and have the class of any girl from New Jersey that wears her name around her neck (as if any girl from New Jersey could be tasteful with that horrid accent anyway).

RL: Dress very conservatively.
SL: Am not human.

RL: Reticent and disaffected by the unexpected.
SL: Talkative and promote insanity.

RL: 6' tall.
SL: Often under 3'.

RL: Intimidate burglars into leaving.
SL: ...burglars?

RL: Considers spending half a rent check to see reality replaced by geodesic shapes and talk with aliens.
SL: Spends less than 1/20th of a rent check to exist in a virtual reality of geodesic shapes where one can talk with aliens, but at the price of meeting them in a sea of New Jersey porn stars.
