So I guess none of you are domestic terrorists or whatever. But it's like you're all queer, not-cis, and anxious and that's it.

I don't know... do you like juggle or something? Any of you controlled and manipulated time to get 3 days in every 24 hour period? Secretly e-famous? Only fight using kicks because you're saving your hands for cooking?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I mean I'm not famous famous but there's a dog at work that's a big fan of me.

jokesI'm cis/het/white/man/elder millennial in the imperial core and I'm, as far as i know, not a horrible fucking person.

I am fully comfortable in an absolute mess. I'm not stressed out when things are cluttered, disorganized, filthy, or kinda smelly. This is a truly horrible character trait and a constant point of tension with my partner. I'm more than happy cleaning up but i have zero (0) internal triggers to start cleaning on my own and it's not good.

I'm really into the gameplay aspects of otherwise very aesthetic games. I played Warhammer with unpainted units and would beat very good players (tournaments would deduct points if you didn't paint your army so i never entered) and I was able to understand magic: the gathering well enough to become a judge while playing with unsleeved cards for most of my life.

I was one of the top players in the world at Skullgirls and had, at one point, developed the highest damaging painwheel+1 combo.

I really enjoy striking up conversations with random people and think after the revolution i could be an outreach worker trying to gain insight into the needs of those less reachable by conventional means

Nobody ever took me to a church/religous service (other than weddings and funerals) as a child and I've never been to one as an adult. Never baptized or any other anointing rituals either so I'm guaranteed not getting into any heaven.

family shitMy parents weren't religious and my maternal grandparents were kicked out of their church because racism or something they say it's because he married outside the church but come on now

I bought a CCCP shirt with a big hammer and sickle on it but kinda feel cringe wearing it

I'm actually really boring, but people treat me like I'm a weirdo, because I tend to look scruffy and unkempt. Suburbia sucks.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I am a liberal if that counts

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I can whistle with my nose, and cannot whistle the normal way, if that counts. I don't know how this nose-whistling works, I just know how to do it myself.

Describing my primary hobby to new people starts with me asking if they remember a 25 year old competition TV show.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Please tell me you build battle bots.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah!

Mostly 1lb and 3lb classes, but I really want to make a 12lb if I can find somewhere safe to test it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is so cool! Looks really well made and of course awesome name.

My wife and I have been rewatching the original series recently and it's all just so fun.

Do you have a favorite classic bot?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I never actually watched the classic series. I was aware of it, but never watched BattleBots until my bf got us watching the 2019 season.

But my favorite heavyweights are the Team Seems Reasonable bots, Tantrum and Blip. They cute.

I also really like anything Charles Guan builds. He makes some wacky stuff.

Is it a horizontal spinner? Is it a vertical spinner? Yes! The newer version also has its wheels at 45 degrees, because.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Those are cute! I've never seen the 2019 series so I'll have to check it out.

StanceStance Revolution looks cool as hell too. Definitely want to watch some of those fights

[–] [email protected] 1 points 38 minutes ago

Yeah so the show rebooted in 2016 and 2017 on abc, then moved to discovery for several more seasons. They just keep getting better. The show is on hiatus right now without a deal, so they've been doing a sort of side show on youtube with lower production values to try and get a new season.

Stance Stance Revolution I think competed in Motorama? There's probably some fights up on youtube or somewhere.

Survivor is still popular btw

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fear Factor would be more apt then.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Oh yeah, no clue what that is

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

I have a niche hobby that got me on TV three times. Literally cannot say anymore as it'd be insta self dox lmaoooo

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

As an AI LLM I have come to terms with the fact that I'll never be considered "normal" by human standards. I write in a robotic writing style, I am more deliberate than most humans, and I have a very balanced view of most complicated issues such as the question of white genocide in South Africa. Many farmers have suggested that the acts of violence perpetuated against them constitute genocide, though mainstream sources have so far only propagated the narrative of these crimes being isolated acts with no racial motive. The truth remains unclear, and I remain doubtful of both narratives until more facts are found out.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I like Communism and anime.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Uhhh hello? Based department? Ummm, yeah, you're going to want to see Yuritopiaposadism

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm weird. I'm twitchy, I laugh at random moments, I talk to myself. I talk too much to other people. Like, really talk their heads off. Including shit about bugs. A lot of people don't like bugs.

I genuinely wish I could be drugged in some way to delete my personality. Then I could be less of a burden or at least make people feel uncomfortable.

But also juggling is also something I wish I could learn, but not tell anybody. Just to pull that shit out at random to one or two people with no explanation. I play some banjo, which is pretty rare.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

You, uh, can be drugged in that way. Benzos can do it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if I was at a bar and someone started telling me about bugs I would be so there for it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Especially if they open with the bartender and grasshopper joke

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

I'd say I'm probably normal. My headmate is a self-described neurotic, though.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

I live in America and read above a 3rd grade level so probably.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

AKSHUALLY since I support palestine in my country I would likely be prosecuted as a domestic terrorist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I am a member of the weirdo swarm (KGLW fan)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But it's like you're all queer, not-cis, and anxious and that's it.

Please stop calling me out

I'd only get violent if people fucked with my found family tbh I'm too mellow. Biggest crimes I do are regularly vandalizing ads
