Videogames, no they’re not a waste of time they’re a huge cultural entity with a grand future.
After meeting your needs for survival, everything else is entertainment
With just how many are out there, how prevalent they are, and how large of an industry they are, they are definitely a huge cultural entity. As for a grand future, that I’m not so sure of if triple AAA titles are to be continuing the trends they are already going down.
Who said anything about AAA? :p
Being gay (despite how many times my dad said it was just a phase)
I always suspected people saying being gay is a “phase” are gay or bi themselves. I don’t understand the thinking otherwise.
Son, your love for cock is just a phase. I got over it you will too. Now excuse me while I get on grindr and harass young men with my faceless empty profile.
Hating the rich. Hated them when I was young; hate them even more as a boomer puke.
Oh shit, I’ve stumbled upon the rare good boomer
I’m not ‘good’. However, I’m not a fool, and it’s nothing short of suicidal folly to ignore or embrace those who consider themselves the owners (and harvesters) of mankind.
#ETROBAAT (eat the rich; one bite at a time)
Being a gamer 🎮
Listening to Rock Music 🎸
Complaining about my parents’ bad habits 🍷🍺
pr0n.
Emo/pop punk. Idgaf the music is banging. Went to the MCR reunion tour and had the time of my mid 30s life.
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.

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’m nearly 50 but I’ll never stop buying band t-shirts. It’s my absolute favourite thing.
Graphic tees make the kind of first impression I want to make. I wear my special interests emblazoned on my torso because I want to meet and talk with people who vibe with them. If you recognize the Aphex Twin logo or Miskatonic University, we’ve already got something in common. It’s that frickin’ simple!
I agree!!! Also I look like a babe in them lol.
Maybe I need a Misk U shirt or pullover
40 and same
I LOVE going to shows and getting a new shirt every time.
Horny.
I’m male, in my 50’s, and still waiting for that ‘peek at 17’ to stop…
Right? I wish I could turn off my libido like a switch.
Hating kids. Never liked them when I was their age (it was mutual) and still don’t like them. It took ages to find a partner that feels the same. She kinda likes them, for a short time, but doesn’t want to have them, so that’s close enough.
Also, not caring about clothes. Yeah, you need to wear something, way to cold not to, but what… don’t care to much. Jump in store, get jeans (current favorite is a local farmers store brand, cheapest), next store, shirt and sweater, done. Record shopping time for a set that fitted was 15 min for 3 stores and 2 complete sets. Waste of money to have more then 1 set to wear, 1 in the laundry and one drying. (And 1 spare for emergencies, like missing your mouth with coffee when not awake yet)
Don’t want kids, never wanted kids, never will want kids. Did not grow out of it. Did not - as some idiots claimed was inevitable - marry some woman who then demanded kids out of the blue. In fact, did not marry at all. Never wanted that either.
Them: “Eventually you’ll be miserable like me!”
Me: “Why the fuck would I do that?”
I went to visit one of my friends last week and we were having fun playing video games and going to the beach and getting takeout so we decided I’d stay a few days. Because we’re both single childless adults and we can do whatever the fuck we want. Was a great few days.

It keeps getting heavier too

I thought this said phrase at first and was so confused.
Being goth tho 🖤
Wearing gender non conforming clothes (turns out I’m non binary, so I doubled down), not wanting to be around ex family (also doubled down), not wanting kids (cats don’t count right? ❤️), being a nerd.
Cats count.
Pets are the new children.
Plants are now pets.
Children are big exotic animals, like tigers. Even if you were foolish enough to want one you can’t afford it.
Thankfully tho cats don’t come with all the things I dislike about human children. ❤️❤️❤️
Never wanting to be in pictures or being outside/active for long periods of time. I will eternally look like a goblin and I don’t have the social battery to deal with long excursions of “doing stuff”. It tops out at maybe 2-4 hours depending and after that my brain basically turns to goo.
Oh and also: wearing all black. It just makes dressing myself not a hassle.
There are certain types of people - extroverts, morning people, sports fans - who assume that they are the correct way a human should be and everyone else is somehow defective.
Hahaha same. Friend and family called me the vampire. 95% of my clothes are black, including socks.
Hating people.
Alternative. Music, politics, food cars. Mainstream never came back.
