Yep, your story sounds pretty much of how I went through it to. Thanks!

I grew up in the 80's. Was 17 in 1987. So I was at all the right times. But I'm, a mid-90-early 2000's music fan. Tho there was a lot of good punk in the 80's.

I was here in the 80's. Not a fan. lmao

I taught my son to be a lover of pop-punk like Blink-182. No regrets!

Well like you said, I'm easy to block.

But I've never sent memes.

If I was the only content you were seeing, it's because no one is posting. I'm doing my part by posting content to the site. Feel free to post yours as well.

Thank you!

Awww, thank you. Good to know that I'm #1 at something! This is awesome!!!

I may have to put your quote in my profile banner pic.

Thanks, amiko!

Hmmm, interesting. Well this is a casual conversation community, so I'm interested in what you have to say. Care to explain why you think that this post isn't actually about what it claims to be?

[-] UniversalMonk@lemmy.kya.moe 2 points 2 days ago

Must be ambivalence then, because I'm not miserable at all. I'm having a great time. Thank you!@

[-] UniversalMonk@lemmy.kya.moe 3 points 2 days ago

No worries, mate. I'm never gonna rag on someone for being honest. I appreciate your bluntness. All good!

[-] UniversalMonk@lemmy.kya.moe 3 points 2 days ago

Interesting viewpoints. Thanks. Actually I'm not anti-social. I have a full social life. I lean toward duplicity because I still can't get on board with the hypocrisy term since it's such a loaded word.

And as for the cars, no I def do not need two cars. And my house is paid for, and I have lived here for a long time. I'm hoping global warming starts making warmer winters here!

But to your points, yes, I can sell those and my house. But that was the point fo my post. I choose not to do those things then get annoyed about it. I was wonder if anyone else was the same way. Um, looks like I may be in rare company tho! lol

Thank you for your input. Super interesting!

I don’t think I’m trolling.

Thanks for saying that. I get a LOT of people who follow me on Lemmy and call me a troll. As in, there was a thread started last week to try to ban me from the entire fediverse (which of course didn't work).

But I'm not a troll, I just have lots of different varying and seemingly opposing viewpoints. It's not done "to spite others," it's done "in spite of others."

That's why I think you and I are different than trolls and/or hypocrites.

So maybe contrarian isn't the right word, but I don't know what else I would call it. But I don't have seemingly opposing views to piss people off. It's just how I am.

My hate-fanclub peeps worked on this just last week. Notice the 318 upvotes to get rid of me:

Right? I'd LOVE to have a transport system where we all just took trains or e-bikes and the infrastructure supported that. I see people in anti-car communities who make a concentrated effort to go carless. I want to be like that. Buuuut I know I wouldn't be that dedicated! lol

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?
