Heavy Metal.
It keeps getting heavier too
Well, kinda. I mean, I was a huge black metal fan in my late teens and couldn’t suffer melodic death metal because… Well, melody was a no-no. Nowadays shitty production is a no-no for me and I mostly listen to melodeath lol. But the thing is, a well produced song can be soooo much heavier than a bad produced one
I thought this said phrase at first and was so confused.
Being goth tho 🖤
Believing that modern life is some kind of scam. Being very angry at ‘society’ (uhm I know, I’m part of it, so there) for not seeing how wrong everything is.
Wanting to be alone.
I was told I would understand being a Conservative and become more right wing when I got older.
Still a left wing personality. Still don’t support death to my friends and loved ones. Glad to be in Canada so I don’t have to worry as much… But still have a lot of worries for their safety.
Oh and definitely my love of Halloween.
I was fairly conservative as a teenager (mostly because I was fairly ignorant and my parents were low key conservatives. I bucked the (apparent) trend by moving left. Happily call myself a socialist now.
I was told that after I got out of school I’d understand why it was necessary. I uh, still completely hate American schools and how they’re structured and have no clue why they work the way they do.
Forcible social interaction & increased immunity via spread of germs.
Also they occasionally teach you stuff.
But there are so many better ways it could be done.
The thing is, once you have kids of your own, you’ll understand the #1 reason for schools: state funded daycare so parents can go to work.
I’m never having kids and one of the items on the list (among many, many other higher priority ones) is how miserable the school system is.
Pushing 50 and still pushing on a skateboard
Video games
Not wanting children
Bare bones utilitarian furniture
Athiest
Atheist, perhaps?
I suppose dyslexic goes on the list as well. At least I spelled it correctly on my dog tags
Living the dream! I spent 10 years of my life skating. Ended up moving to a place with zero areas for skating without commuting an hour, so unfortunately my boards are going to turn into wall art soon.
Being depressed about the nature of life.
I cannot exist without something/someone else dying and I’ve always hated that.
In the words of a long dead king, “Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What do people gain from all the toil at which they toil under the sun? A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever.”
Being depressed about the nature of life is not new and you are not alone in it.
That I had to do everything for myself, all the time, in every way.
I’m indigenous Canadian and my parents basically grew up on their own in the wilderness. They basically just let is do anything and everything for ourselves on our own all the time.
I worked all the time as a kid … at first because I had to but eventually because I wanted to because my parents were like that. I followed by example.
I remember at one point as a teen taking part in project after project trying to get people to help, to take part, to share or to even just join me and make the work easier. It was always a pain to get help.
I remember arriving at a breaking point and I just started ignoring people and did enormous projects on my own. Often people would just see me struggle and help but more often than not they wouldn’t.
I’ve worked on my own ever since in building and construction … I got it to the point where I could literally build my own house from the ground up.
You could build a home by yourself except pouring foundations and installing drywall as those take at least two people I presume.
Possible to do solo with the right tools/enough muscle and stubbornness, much easier with 2 people
You don’t need tons of concrete to build a foundation. It’s better but not necessary. I built three foundations on my own so far with a concrete footer and pressure treated crawl space. Mixing, hauling, pouring and setting small batches of concrete on your own is possible.
A good and experienced builder can install drywall on their own. I’m not the best but I just finished drywalling my small porch on my own … ceiling and walls. It’s doable, not easy, not fun but it’s possible.
It is better with two or more people to do these things but with modern building techniques, equipment and a bit of knowledge, just about every step is doable with one person.
It’s not ideal, it is dangerous but building an entire house is doable by one person. It’s also better based on age. In my 20s I had a hard time because I had the strength but not the experience. In my 30s I thought nothing of it all and did my best work … now in my late 40s I’m struggling to do all these things now and seldom do anything on my own any more.
Except in order to be legal you need a licensed person to do much of the work. Licensed electrician to do electrical, licensed plumber to do plumbing, etc.
I still listen to angry music, envy the occasional gutter punk I see, and think if I somehow got my hands on the globally nuclear arsenal that I would gladly give the world a much needed reboot.
Being a gamer 🎮
Listening to Rock Music 🎸
Complaining about my parents’ bad habits 🍷🍺
pr0n.
Piercings and tattoos. Gaming. Not wanting kids.
I don’t look very alternative so all these things surprise people if it comes up in casual conversation.
Metal and anarchism
Hating people.
Computer nerd.
Alternative. Music, politics, food cars. Mainstream never came back.
