Ask Lemmy

Pretty much everything from AI to Atheism to Lemmy to whatever interesting things I'm mulling over because I'm stuck disabled, living with crazy religious nutters family that have no fundamental logic skills.

D,E,&I. I work with and am generally surrounded by a bunch of conservative MAGA fucks.

Literally last week my team coach said to us that anyone who got the jab deserves to die. What a fucking idiot.

No one IRL knows I help run a Lemmy instance and I plan on keeping it that way for now as it's going to take too much explaining.

Nice try mom

It's really hard but I struggle to tell people about my operating system. I use Arch BTW.

I don't want any of you to know either.

Sometimes I find myself mourning the person I used to be. I experienced something traumatic in 2018 that changed my entire personality and now suffer from Bipolar II.

High quality fresh mozzarella sliced thinly into delicate slivers like sashimi, dipped in high quality traditional aged Japanese soy sauce. Eaten with chopsticks of course, similar to conventional sashimi.

I've done a fair share of fine dining and make some very intricate conventional dishes but this weird combo just kind of to gets me. I've never mentioned this to anybody as to not disqualify myself as the "chef guy" but I can't help but like it.

I need someone to know me really well before I let them know I watch anime, because a 30 year old dude who likes anime paints a certain picture

ASMR

I’d prefer if my family and my coworkers don’t know my wife and I met at a bdsm event. I don’t hide it from friends though

Ah, I have nothing I'm hiding from anyone, and I'm totally not posting this from an alt-account

I've been really into early Christianity / Biblical textual analysis. I found a priest I like on YouTube I really like and I've watched 100+ hours of lectures of his, plus a couple podcasts and audiobooks.

I'm not religious at all and kinda the stuff I like is the "huh, this is pretty obviously fake/contradictory, interesting nobody saw through this" stuff. It's like anthropologically interesting.

Obviously a dominant religion, not like a fringe thing to know about, but nobody's into these facts in just this way. Don't want to talk about it to religious people, non-religious people don't want to talk about it to me.

1. Fanfics, too. I love fanfics exploring what-ifs of a work, and myself wrote two or three of those, but assumers immediately associate them with the lemons.
2. Isekai. Same deal as fanfics, except with escapism instead of porn. (I'm a sucker for fantasy dammit.)
3. Machine text generation. Yeah, I don't want to be confused with a functionally illiterate tech bro.

None of my family members know what a furry is and i'm keeping it that way.

Communism

What I fap to. I'll never hear the end of it and I'd like to have life be normal between faps.

Anime

World of Warcraft: Classic.

People know that I play, but they do not know that it has consumed me. All that I do, I do to spend time existing as a dwarf.

Homestuck, Undertale, Hazbin Hotel, and all those popular pieces of media that get overshadowed by their shitty fandoms

Nice try, FBI

That I still play Roblox for the Napoleonic Wars community. I don't want to be associated with the brain dead games that make up like 90%+ of Roblox

Swinging! Lots of fun, nobody needs to know

Pegging

Same with fanfiction except I write it more than I read it. I've been doing it for years now and have a little over 200 subscribers. My partner is the only one who knows I write it, but I've never let him read it, and never will (which he's fine with). I feel like it's such a ridiculous little thing to do, but I also like knowing there's 200+ people out there who enjoy what I write.
