Apparently I would make a really awesome moderator because seeing gore and shit doesn't "scar me for life". In fact, I seek it out out of morbid curiosity. Too bad I don't have the requisite lust for power needed to be a moderator.
That’s like saying ‘I would be a great candy store clerk, because I love eating sugary snacks.’ Eventually you end up sick or diabetic.
The human brain can only handle so much. While we all have different tolerance levels, we still have a breaking point. We’re just primates, after all.
I'd make a really awesome candy store clerk too, btw, because I love eating sugary snacks.
