Are you a meat-puppet/sock-puppet?

Besides eating, shitting, sleeping, working, making love and participating in the occasional hobby, is your life really that important to the rest of the world or universe? Most likely not. We all end up dead like the many generations before us who were clueless, seeking answers, avoiding death, wishing to be immortal, and always wanting for some kind of meaning.
At least a person 'who doesn't seem to care' is sort of content, instead of living in a constant paranoid state, wondering what grand conspiracy may or may not exist.
So far, I have observed two types of (harmless) conspiracy theorists.
Bruised Ego:
This person finds life so meaningless he/she looks to romanticize everything into an epic story, where he/she takes center stage as the victim of a dramatic play. A dark force is trying to mislead, fool, and challenge him/her by hiding some kind of ulterior agenda. Evil forces are always trying to convince the person (via the media, social pressure, or perhaps something in the water) into thinking that there is NOT a wizard behind the curtain. Something else is there, crushing the person's oppurtunity to be god-like. Hence, life is not completely pointless, it's simply being oppressed by 'whatever it is' out there trying to prevent the person from being so important - stealing his/her spotlight and true purpose in life.
Not My Fault:
This person will attribute everything to a higher source of power or to a combination of groups behind a grand scheme. Convinced that someone else or something else is truly in charge of what is happening. The person will constantly complain and seek the reasons for why something occurs but always conclude the strings are being pulled by an untouchable puppet master. Hence, the person can blame 'the powers' but concedes to the notion he/she can do nothing about it. The person is content to simply blame someone/something else for 'bad things' without feeling compelled to do anything to truly stop it. The person doesn't want to 'stop it' because he/she would be forced to concede that 'it' wasn't there in the first place.
Simply Crazy:
There is a third type that is simply crazy and should be on constant meds or locked away. The crazy types are the ones who violently act on a belief. Very dangerous. Society's law makers and politicians need do a better job in preventing this type from walking the streets.

Yeah I'm not going to continue giving you an audience for your bizarre rants, have a nice life.
The fact that you consider what I said to be a bizarre rant shows me just how little you actually know about our modern world. Like so many millions of drones just like yourself, you bury your head in the sand and pretend that none of what I say is happening. Good luck with that!
It's really sad that the majority of the modern population is completely incapable of abstract thinking.

Microsoft is downloading Windows 10 to your machine 'just in case.'
I noticed my available hard drive space on C: had taken a noticeable drop. I couldn't figure it out. All new games get installed on F:
This explains it.
And people with low bandwidth caps? Think I smell a lawsuit a-brewing.
Possibly useful post. I just installed 2952664 yesterday (I intentionally lag a month behind due to shit like this), and got the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\Install folder today at 1:15. I removed the update, so we'll see if it comes back.
That folder showed up for me as well, but it is empty, I expected it to have something in it.....hmmmmm Not happy about this.
I had a 600k file (AM_Delta_Patch_1.205.2029.0.exe), but that was it. Will keep an eye on it and see if it grows...

Meh, he made a relevant point: there are ways to not have to deal with Windows.
