I really like fanfiction. Reading and writing it. Nobody in my life knows and I plan on keeping it that way.

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.

    Holy shit bro, hang in there - any chance of dating (maybe other disabled?) people and getting the hell out of there, or something like that? There are flats disabled people share, where they help each other, too, right?

    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.

    I've tried explaining Lemmy to people and they do not understand. They are like "just use reddit bro"

    I stopped using Reddit when the API protests happened and haven't gone back. I honestly think Lemmy is far superior. I love seeing and interacting with the same people in varying threads. Feels like an actual community.

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

    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.

    I get that. I do the same often enough. I went from an outgoing fun person to an anxious shut in that is scared of people.

    I hope you find that part of yourself that you lost.

    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.

    Both my brother and my brother-in-law are professional chefs and they each eat the weirdest nonsense on their own. It's like their palettes have to be so refined at work that they need to throw the wildest combos of flavors together at home to feel like they're eating something different.

    So if anything I think this qualifies you as the "chef guy."

    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

    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.

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

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

    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

    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.
