I don't understand the strong drive people have to be put into a box in general. I get how getting a result that says only 2% of the population share it and that can make you feel unique and rare, but it's still really stripping away a lot of the complexity of being human, no?

I remember getting ENTJ as a young teenager that completely bought that this was real and valid and being low key kinda hurt and trying not to show it.

    Not a brit but when I think about the kinds of sacrifices people used to make and are still making in some places and I try to apply that to, like, my parents, my mind boggles.

    My mom becomes sullen and just so unpleasant if a restaurant takes more than 20 minutes to get her food out, even when she can see they're very busy. She's not the kind of boomer that yells at the waitstaff (actually she's Gen X anyway lol) but she bitches nonstop to everyone waiting with her, which makes it hard for everyone else. It always felt like she was never raised with any expectation to moderate her own feelings about things at all.

    Her ONLY HOBBY is TV, and it's all she has to look forward to after work. She can't sleep without her one specific box fan. I feel like rolling blackouts would send her into absolute fits.

    Depends on what you mean by recent. Some of the entries have definitely been more action horror than scary horror, but RE9 was a really solid blend of both, with lots of stealth required when playing as Grace for the first time, and that's the most recent one.

    8 was more action-oriented too, but 7 was actually pretty controversial for introducing a totally new protagonist for the purpose of recapturing the survival horror theme.

    TBH it really deserves this and always has. I know a lot of people love to talk about the good old days of reddit, but tbh, in the old days it provided a safe harbor for the extreme misogyny that fuels a good portion of the right wing craziness of present day

    Now that I have time for hobbies again I wanna dive right in to building up a home lab. Right now I just have a Netgear router that reached end of life, and a NAS i'd like to make accessible remotely, and a DIY router seems like the correct next step for me. I'm very interested in ad-blocking network wide and someday I'd like to host my own little webpage, but for now I'm really just barely getting started.

    I'm information gathering, I don't know what I don't know and my networking skills are pretty weak anyway. But even if your needs and desires have nothing to do with mine, I also just like to hear people talk about their set ups. Please? 🌞

     

    I left Reddit to get away from that, but unfortunately there still seem to be a fair number of users here that also are convinced men are the real underclass, victimized by everything.

    I think I mostly run into it on meme communities. Is that just the destiny of all meme communities? To be overtaken by MRAs? It sucks because I genuinely like memes, but I don't like randomly being smacked in the face by misogyny all the time. Any other communities I should avoid?

    Any insight or tips appreciated 🥰

    Honestly this is the one thing that's keeping me from for real switching to piefed. I love, like, everything about it. I wish it was a little busier, but I could be a part of the solution there!

    But it's suuuuuuuch a pain to post multiple images. I have been procrastinating so hard on posting some of my art because it's just so tedious to upload each individual image in a set. If it's a comic? Forget it!
