      If I were a narcissist, given the scenario, how would my actions be different from what actually happened.

      I'm not great at interrupting negative behaviours currently, but this helps me recognise them after the fact.

        The George Marsaglia mental pseudorandom number generator method:

        • Think of a 2-digit 'seed' number.
        • Multiply the second digit by 6 and add it to the first number.
        • Repeat once.
        • Use the right-most digit of the new number as your random number.

        If you chart the results using a spreadsheet you can see a weak pattern emerge but it's not easily human-predictable, which is what makes it useful to me.

          Is there anything about how they originated upon this method?

          Reminds me of 2FA or OTP generated codes a lil bit

          Lastly, this is what I'm talking about!!! Right oN

            I haven't seen anything about this method specifically, but Marsaglia was a mathematician who studied randomness his entire career, so I assume it came about from that.
