  • Tech worker here. I am this 🤏 fucking close to dragging every god damn thing designed to pass an electron out to the driveway and fucking hack it to bits with an axe (that I use for hewing and preparing lumber, so I can live in the wilderness when technology wins).

    Haha, "hack to bits" haha. No pun intended.

  • Non-Americans: what do you like about America?
  • That fucking sucks. The Russian/Slavic community here (new england, USA) is very hospitable, and many Ukrainians and Russians moved here after the "special military operation". The local bazaar was even handing out free care packages to displaced Ukrainians.

  • She's honestly such a doll
  • Funny story about the spots, one time he was rummaging through god knows where in the house, and for days we didn't realize there was a new, black, spot on his face 😅. turns out it was some kind of oily grease

    With vet shampoo and some warm water, it came off pretty quickly.

  • Non-Americans: what do you like about America?
  • I have met some Russians in my community (MA) and they have all mentioned that they are scared of the censorship their relatives are now facing in russia. I remember hearing one of their nephews got a visit from the local police department for their social media activity.

    This was at a local repair cafe, and I was sharpening tools. Got to see some cool old Soviet shears, scissors and knives.

  • What's a trait you look for in potential partners that seems uniquely in your trait wishlist?
  • I have so many hobbies I never bothered to look for partners. Literally single because I'm so dedicated to studying the blade, and that makes me laugh to myself.

    Studying, blacksmithing, metallurgy, woodworking and kitchen knives. They are all related by the importance of a sharp edge.

  • How about we play, "Never have I ever"?
  • Never have I ever been stung by a bee, wasp or hornet. I'm not scared of bees either, ill walk right up to them and check em out. I've grabbed bees and pulled them out of water, I've let them trot all over me and I don't mind, neither do they.

  • How to find interesting friends as a young adult.

    I have many interests, if not too many. From cooking, woodwork and computers. Many of my friends are academically very successful but are frankly painfully boring and I sometimes feel isolated around them.

    I like to cook when they hang at my house, I'll try to teach them how, some basic tips, etc. As soon as I glanced towards them again I realized they walked off.

    This summarizes a lot of our interactions. As we get to a topic I understand and can speak passionately about, they sort of turn off. They talk to each other fine, but it's often internet drama, school drama or sports.

    I'm not in college\classes and it seems almost impossible to meet others, especially others that are interesting and curious. I find myself bonding most to adults but it's isolating I can't find others my age.

    What's a long standing personal or family mystery that occupies your mind?

    Is there ever something that happened to a family member that you will ever know? Has anyone gone missing under mysterious circumstances? Is the place next to your great grandmother's friend's dad's house totally haunted?

    Posts should (almost) never be locked.

    I think that if an outright war is raging in the comments, let it run it's course. All parties are willing participants, free to disengage at any moment.

    The exceptions should be when illegal content is being shared or illegal activity is occurring (CP, doxxing, etc).

    It's always frustrating when a juicy argument gets locked because it's "unproductive". I was having a great time watching it unfold, both sides hurling both creative and uncreative insults, oblivious to how low they are sinking to. It's great!
