    It’s a trap. It’s all a fucking trap. Next thing you know you’ll be working middle management somewhere and sipping Moscato with boring-ass friends and living vicariously through posts by people half your age on niche boards who dedicate their house to model trains or polyamory or have a ridiculous aquarium or listen to bands you’ve never heard of in a genre you love but now you can’t listen to any more because god forbid your boss gets in your car and you autoplay something other than pop country or classic rock. Your kids’ll do something and you’re like “that’s awesome” and you look over and your partner is frowning at you like “aren’t you going to do something to stop this?”

    Just fucking be weird. Normalcy is a fucking trap.

        I was just trying to grab a wide cross-section of interests. I don’t have any advice for combining them, but good luck!

      Been there, done that. Only thing I learned is that everyone has their kind of issues, and upper + top management has too many psychos. So thanks, I’ll take your advice and will just be weird :)
