Some people just think we should let the dead sleep, what can you say.

Does programming count as a hobby? I waste my free time on it... There's this funny stereotype, of a queer programmer with long, quirky socks, and maybe even a fursona. Despite being a small percentage, such types are often overrepresented online. It used to bother me a little.

Nowadays I'm so, so glad when someone I'm talking to is part of that group. It usually means I don't need to worry about them being weirdly sexist, like women don't suffer enough in the industry, or insisting that we need to keep politics out of tech (i.e. they want their politics to rule, unquestioned).

Silly feelings on my part? Perhaps. One less thing to worry about, though.

Amateur Radio.

The first video I found on Baofeng Radio guides is on a youtube channel run by some right winger that sounds like a SovCit, who makes "jokes" about people who wear mask and have this "gay humor".

Like bruh

(I mean, I guess it makes sense. Right-wing "anarchists" are skeptical of "government control" and are the type of people to want to use radios instead of smartphones. Buts its ironic that encryption is illegal... But I assume they probably just ignore the "no encryption" rule anyways since they are a SovCit.)

Not only that, but they're the ones ignoring getting licensed at all.

It's not quite the same thing, but Meshtastic tends to be more lefty, or at least not outright sovcit. Don't need a license and getting started is relatively cheap.

I'm not in this picture, and I don't like it. What about stapler collecting?

Well green is yellow and blue, and red is just another primary color. If you mix it together you get a black flag and it means ye be a pirate matey!

Old school games enjoyer: “Games used to be awesome… modern games are garbage”

🚨

Morrowind is better than Skyrim

😎

I particularly enjoy the telvanni lore

Great you're going to make me install Morrowind again

If they enjoy saying N'wah a little too much, that might be a red flag.

To be honest dark elves are either bloodthirsty capitalists, bigoted isolationists, conservative acolytes or all of the above. What a wonderful people <3... ekhm of course, how outrageous

Hard to swallow pill that not all ESIII fans are cool

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

You see, this is the crux. They are cool. They are cooler than you. Also, they identify as Dunmer so they are inherently superior racially than the farming tools in particular but also any other race really

What's funny is that while Vikings are mostly remembered for their warrior culture, their success as a diaspora came more from their merchant and sailing culture. THEY were the 'immigrants.'

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
