  • I tried starting with making stuff out of paracord. Bracelets, key chains Relatively inexpensive as you need paracord, storm lighter and some clips.

    Lots of tutorials on youtube.

    I enjoy cooking. Finding recipes by reading and watching shows. I initially a bit expensive to get all the stock spices and ingredients. Also a decent knife and pans. But rewarding as you get to eat it. Also a path to a healthier life with less processed food (less salt among other things) and more greens. Can be an incentive to socialize more as well if you want to.

    I also play Flames of War and Team Yankee. Building models and then painting them. Can be done with podcasts and shows on in the background. Bonus is that you can play with them.



  • Child perhaps?

    Think this relates to a abused children who gets very good at reading “moods” or the room as a self defense mechanism.

    Can be anything from outright violence to neglect, but kids are very good at learning stuff, also how to survive. So adults who are extremely sensitive to “moods” or calls themselves “empathy” were often abused as a child.

    I am a chief engineer in a national governement agency where I live. I am pretty specialized with 20 years experience.

    Every day in a hoodie is a win.

    But there is something in the fact that if you show up in a shirt, suit/ suit trousers and a sweather you show respect for the people you are meeting. Meeting someone and they did not even care enough about the meeting to wear something “decent”




  • Like I stated, I have amended my previously stance of “Knock yourself out” to a more pro active stance just because of the increased hate. I can’t be just silently accepting.

    And I am not talking about showing affection. A kiss, holding hands, hugging.

    I am looking at the Pride parade and seeing floats of leathermen and gimps and other kinks. And I am not kink shaming, I just don’t see how that is relevant in the discussion. If you need the whole hardware store to get it up is cool by me, I don’t get why it needs to be expressed in the context of I like men/female/all the colors of the rainbow in between

    Never really understood the issue, like it doesn’t detract anything for the rest of us? I am straight, middleaged, married to a woman I have been with for 22 years. Why the fuck should I feel threatened by who someone loves.

    For years my attitude to anything involving consensual adults that caused no harm to others:

    • Do I have to do anything? No? Well knock yourself out!

    (I have recently adjusted my attitude to defend peoples right to do consensual things, as there is so much hate)

    My gripe has been more in the lines that why the fuck do you need to show the world HOW you love someone? I support your right to make love suspended from load bearing beams by a metal hook up your anus in a latex gimp suit, but like fuck if I care for you to show me.
