I get bored and lonely sometimes and I don’t always have the energy for intelligent discussion, I usually save that for work. Tbh I probably suffer from ASPD.

Instead of making dang's life harder and making HN a worse place, have you tried therapy? It might cost money, but it at least has a chance at treating the underlying cause or of teaching you better coping mechanisms.

Chaos can cause happy accidents, as well as unhappy ones.

I sometimes throw out comments i know will catch flamewars, because (a) I think i can say something funny, at the least, and (b) if I catch a flamewar, then the rest of the thread will hopefully be less polluted with char, smut and smoke.
