I'm using the internet to buy things, research things, share memories, call people, pay, get payed etc.
Just because 20 years ago people build small websites (including me) doesn't mean the internet should be a bunch of private niche websites.
Not many people ever found my websites. No one cared.
Also completely judgment free, if not even with a little bit of envy.
Do you know people who have strong hobbies? Like not just building sometimes a lego set but having a basement full of it, sorted etc. Only doing this for a long time as well.
Or people who dress very strongly: Punks, Certain Type of homosexual people,Hippies, Antifa, Nazis.
I was and still not sure what my thing is and i have the feeling that i'm going thorugh my life looking a little bit left, a little bit right. Hardcore fetishes don't bother me but don't have an appeal that i would do it. Wearing stuff like artsy stuff is entertaining to look at but i wouldn't put the effort into it.
But what is the difference to those people who get stuck? Yeah thats what i call it basically. Stuck people. They have been Antifa for 20 years. They go to work, don't throw in window but still a little bit alternative. More extreme, more passionate about those kind of things perhaps?
I'm not an expert at all in Transgen etc. and yes i personally from my simplified worldview, i would probably not risk an op if i would feel different. I would perhaps (and of course i don't know that) just sit it out?
When i see Transgen people on hacker events, they created a subculture.
I'm a nerd but i always wanted to play with all the other 'normal' kids and a subculture is effort and perhaps group thinking and group pressure.
And on the other side, they have their crazy cool lego sets, and train models and are experts in a niche. They know exactly what they will do for the rest of their lives. I will continue to look left and right and just continue.
I would love to understand more what type of shades are out there and why.
