I have two cars, but I actually hate cars.

I chose to have a house in the mountains, but I hate snow.

I work out hard and have abs that I show off, but people who show off their abs annoy me.

I'm a writer and make income doing it in addition to my retirement pension, but writers annoy me and I never tell my friends that I'm a writer.

I also paint and have had my stuff in some galleries, but artists annoy me and I never tell any of my friends that I paint.

I've chosen all those things. Not by necessity, but just choice. Can you be a contrarian to your own views or does that definition have to involve opposing someone else's views just to troll?

Oh, I've been around. I had to diversify and spread out my name. I'm transparent and use same username across instances because it's not about ban evasion, it's about not being centralized. I love the fediverse!

You can count on me not to fall into that category of people. You can even talk to me anytime you want with no anxiety attached.

Wow, that's very thoughtful!

And the same invitation goes out to you as well. Please feel free to DM me anytime about anything.

I don't have a discord, but I should make one. Until then, DM me here (or if I get banned from this instance) from any of my other instances. I use the same username for them.

I'm on the lemm.ee instance as well.
