I have come to realize that I am racist. Not just against the Amarr, but against stupid people. They really get on my nerves. Maybe I am just a crotchety old man. I’m ok with that.

Here’s an example:

I’ve been pushing hard in the war effort against the Amarr (while keeping an eye on the Caldari in case they get too eager), and earned myself some RNR.

I decided to spend my week off in a local pleasure station, engaging in things that don’t need to be written about here. But I made a mistake. I decided to take public transit, on a Tuesday morning, during rush hour.

This isn’t a rant about how insanely packed these public terminals are. I expected that to a degree.

This is a rant about utterly stupid these sheep can be.

There I am, waiting on the platform for the next shuttle to come in, along with everyone else in the galaxy. It’s busy, people have jobs to get to, etc, etc. I understand that.

Then I watch a woman lean her head over the platform, looking towards where the shuttle will enter the station from. Upon seeing this, a few more sheep do the same.

Now I know my chrono said the shuttle arrives at 7:25 AM. It either will, or it won’t. What really gets me is that I know full well looking to see if it’s coming yet will not actually alter the course of time. I mean seriously, do you think if you look for it, it will magically appear? Of course not. So why do it? Why look to see if the shuttle is there? Do you not think you would know? Would you not hear it? Would you not notice everyone crowding around the loading platform, angling to be first onto a fully packed shuttle?

Anyway, it just makes me smirk. I think next time I am out plexing for the war effort, and no Amarr are in sight, I might just look around. Who knows? Maybe it will make one show up…
