Hello, I go by housepoopr. I've lurked off an on for sometime. I did try a long time ago to sign up, but never got emails back from the automated system. Unixes be like that from time to time.
Why did I sign up? Honestly, I really like how freely people speak about controversial topics here. It's refreshing after decades of stifling censorship ala >reddit
or overly inflammatory experiences, like >reddit
, and to a less personal extent, 4chan. I just want to talk about about controversial topics with people that don't default to labels and prefabricated sloganeer-think. My personal rule is that if the argument can't survive the why questions a five year old might ask, it's probably not a solid ideology. I think there is something just so disingenuous about online political discourse, it really does feel like we are talking at one another and not to one another, as if we are talking to pre-programmed bots.
What does Vaporwave mean to you? I like the music, but most of the time I have trouble remembering artists. It's one of those vibe deals. I'm a high functioning autistic person, and not like tiktok kids, papers and all. I sort of love the aesthetic, but I don't go out of my way for it. I wish I had an artistic bone in my body, but I am the personality type of Logician. I've always worked IT and Software dev, although I'm ex-mil and a hobby farmer. Logicians are predictably awful at artistic endeavors, so I just admire the artistry and vibe to the music because I need stim music.
What subgenres are you most into? It's hard to classify ambient music that makes you want to cry or has an existential crisis embedded. Hammock, Clem Leek. A good song that sort of encapsulates this genre is Clem Leek's Patience is a Virtue. I consider the first thing I heard like this to be Bryan Eno's an Ending. Beyond that I like Metal, and Christian Hymnals, particularly those that glorify God the Father, the Almighty, Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit with due reverence and solemn dignity. (I revere God. I would be cold in my grave without him.)
How did you find out about this place? Dead Internet Theory.
What do you do for fun? Hobby Farming on a few acres in God's glorious land. A little bit of League of Legends. I go shooting for target practice.
