I'll start. Fahrenheit is the superior temperature system for weather reporting. We should use metric for literally everything else, even Celsius for cooking, but I'll be dead in the cold ground before I abandon a system in which you actually get to experience both 0 degrees and 100 degrees. Freezing being 32 instead of 0 is literally the only downside, and it's not a hard number to remember. I'm prepared to die on this hill in the comments.
I tend to like a lot of japanese punk and alt music. i'll watch anime no more or less than western media. I want to learn some of the language just to find music easier. I'm constantly afraid of being seen as a weeb because having an equivalent interest in say spanish, german, or russian music wouldn't be seen as so odd.
I'd like to visit japan some day, but I don't want to sit around jerkin it in a pokemon store.
Please disregard my username, chapochat came online when I just finished a rewatch of eva.
If I had a thing for any country it would be Russia. I've studied the language, visited with plans to return, and I'm aware of the stereotypes associated with that. When you think of the average white American male who enjoys Russian culture, I'm sure you can conjure up a somewhat-specific image of him.
I don't think it's weird or wrong to be attracted to a certain culture, but I believe a reserved and polite culture can sometimes draw a certain type of person for reasons that annoy me. It could definitely be an unpopular opinion.
I have an on and off hobby of fixing watches and my favorite type are the old soviet watches, which gets weird looks at times. Its not even a "oh me commie, me do commie watch", I just think that they're really interesting and have different design philosophies that are so much more simple, yet work just as well, if not better.
i guess I like things from all over?
oh god please tell me the stereotype because I'm a major Russophile and I'm not shy about it.
Either ultra left-wing or ultra right-wing is I guess how I'd be perceived depending on the person. But I've been perceived as extremely right-wing in the past because I'm white, middle-class, am RBF as fuck and I dress conservatively (jeans, button-up, no piercings or tattoos, short hair, etc.). The irony is usually those who find me too right-wing think Bernie was too extreme, whereas I found Bernie not left enough.
ah well I guess the stereotype holds lol. I'm a dude with longish hair so I think I avoid looking like fash. I don't do myself any favors in that department with my love of olive drab though lol.
