I'm sure with the gathering of autists that there is on alt-tech I'm not the only one who's had this realisation. Some of us have it worse than others but I thought it would be amusing to compare notes, how vegan and leftist infested is your circle or are you surrounded by normies who hate life? What massively sets you apart in terms of your hobbies and general habits? I realised one of the things that sets me apart from even the normies is just what I even think about day to day and it's why I can't gel with them at all even though we're not at each other's throats and everything.
. I don't watch television or listen to the radio ( That's a big one )
. I enjoy red meat
. I like cooking ( For some reason people seem to really hate it depending )
. I like driving ( Again, people view this as a chore and I don't, they don't seem to regard using a vehicle as anything vaguely enjoyable )
. I exercise regularly and recognise I should probably be doing a bit more so I have some self-awareness on my own health
It's not even necessarily about politics but isn't it fucking weird how ideology has now become a thing when it comes to certain hobbies because leftists especially are that against it? I am of course thinking about how eating red meat and exercise and the leftist weirdos out there are trying to declare that far right.
Another thing I'm doing which is financially realistic for me is getting a 50cc moped to buzz around in which yes is silly but very practical for someone like me. Car insurance is going to be unaffordable or a total drain on finances for what it is in the UK so I'm seriously considering it and reviewing potential travel plans so I'm not as much of an anti-social fuck this year and onward.
Oh it's so much worse than you know, car insurance is going up massively and they seem to be actively trying to price people off the roads. The older generations didn't give two shits when it was happening to younger people but watch how it suddenly becomes a problem when even 50+ drivers are looking at £1000's in insurance premiums to even be able to legally drive.
I will fucking laugh at them and it's also one of the reasons why I'm considering leaving the UK. It's not just the fact it's becoming more expensive to live generally there are certain industries artificially raising costs because they're a monopoly and they can. A lot of foreigners don't understand this about the UK, you have to have a minimum of third party insurance to be able to drive on the road with any vehicle. I'm partly hoping for accelerationism on this one so that the older generations feel it and stop using NPC talking points to attack young drivers. Many young people probably aren't going to even bother getting a license because it's so cost prohibitive to own a vehicle in most cases.
I hate vehicle insurance companies in this country, absolutely hate them, they're government operated syndicates.
Edit: By the way I forgot to mention, weirdly yes you need a motorcycle license for anything above 50cc, but for 50cc mopeds that are limited to 30mph you just need a driver's license and to pass a training course which they try and pretend isn't an exam but it clearly is. The reason I'm considering this so hard is simply cost, a 50cc moped/scooter is dirt cheap and requires very little maintenance and the insurance is very reasonable too. They probably will find a way to make that insanely expensive though.
