Weightlifters seem to hove about similar parts make up very kind people who just want others to succeed and people who listen to Joe rogan and Jordan Peterson.

Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I can't wear my King of the Hill shirts anymore because I don't want people to think I'm a trumpster.
Blacksmithing/bladesmithing.
I spent must of my youth fascinated by knives, still am, and this got me into classical metal working. By the time I was 18 I had built a pretty decent working forge in my mom's backyard.
Shortly after 9/11 I took a week long class in bladesmithing in Arkansas. Outside of Blade Forums and the occasional knife show, I'd never really interacted with other knife people. Not a whole lot going on in my large northern city.
The way those bastards talked openly about anyone that wasn't white or Christian turned my stomach. I pretty much kept to myself, it hung out with the one chill hippy from Oregon, or the eternally gob-struck British blacksmiths apprentice (You sell GUNS in a GROCERY STORE?!)
I learned a lot on that trip. Nowadays I don't bring up my knife hobby because I sure as shit don't want to be mistaken for one of those ignorant cretins.
Surely there are communities of bladesmiths that aren't total bastards, right?
They mainly make longswords
I haven't gone to any live events in years. Maybe now there are more millennials and zoomers things are more chill? When I was active it was mostly boomers and I was the young weirdo with earrings that got the side eye every time I opened my mouth.
I'll have to poke around and find out.
Linux and crypto users. Sometimes, people just use monero for it's technical merits....
I'm telling you, this is gonna be privacy's big year.
Hydroponics as well I guess. My DIY automated grow room with a water pump, grow lights, heater and plant shaker (for pollination) always has people think I'm growing weed but I just want chillies and tomatoes.
Yeah I'm not here for this. I just felt this massive wave of fatigue wash over me as I read it.
Like it or not you're going to run into weirdos in just about every hobby. All preemptively judging people does is teach people to keep to themselves. We're already building up a society of loners where people struggle to connect to each other with various other causes(loss of third places for example). We don't really need something like this pushing people further apart, especially when that ultimately drives peoples empathy for each other down too.
Yeah, I have a fondness for Norse history but mostly from a sustainability perspective. The people who settled Iceland were incredibly efficient with their resources and I think we could learn a lot from the turf houses they built... But I am about as far left as a person can get. I want open boarders, worker co-ops, the abolishment of billionaires, free college / healthcare, and a slow and steady attempt to pursue communist goals.
These hobbies aren't necessarily a recreational activity. There are those who claim to have sixth sense only for them to make false judgements on top of false beliefs. Hobbies can involve pushing for wrong insights and most definitely include a self-absorbed vanity project. I don't judge, but I do actively take note of false judgments when they arise.
Alas, I'm stuck with one but at least she doesn't know that I've apostatized.
Warhammer 40k. I like to paint little green guys and then move them around a battlefield.
A good half of the poeple in this hobby are almost entirely irredeemable
Don't try to paint them purple.
I like 90% of the shit in this thread lol
Offroading.
Like, I just want to spend too much money breaking my truck to go play in the mud or camping in the middle of nowhere on the weekend, not throw massive alcohol fueled frat parties in the desert and annihilate the environment in my jacked-up, curb princess of a Ram covered in a thousand miniature suns and "~~Don't tread on me~~ Please tread on me, daddy" stickers
Funny you mention that... we (from CA) went to AZ over Christmas to do some trail driving, and on Christmas day, I literally watched no less than 4 people in let's go brandon and 3 percenter stickers on their UTVs aggressively yell "Merry Christmas" at me right after they saw my license plate on my Jeep. I literally stood there and watched them look at the back of my Jeep, get a smirk, then yell it at me. 4 of them.
I'm not a right winger, but wtf... seriously? You have to be aggressive and confrontational because I'm from a state that Faux News decries as "liberal"?
