    I was noticing your name and profile picture around for the past day or so. For the first time I can remember in my drey near-decade of social media usage I felt like I was the regular at a saloon in the Old West, hearing the new kid in town step on the single conspicuous creaky plank in the floor. Because of the Maidragon profile picture I suspected at first that you might've been an alt account of Yuritopiaposadism, but I figured that was unlikely.

    Maoist (please don't crucify me)

    Some of the best (or if I can be so bold, the best and most thought-provoking) analysis of Norwegian politics comes from the Maoist organization Tjen Folket. So I think it's possible to be critical of Maoism/MLM while also recognizing that Maoists have made some legitimate contributions to revolutionary struggle. I'm still too new and illiterate to really have concrete opinions beyond that.

    probably a little too passionate about the environment,

    No such thing as "too" passionate my dear

    im-vegan

    BASED

    a pair of programmer socks even though I can not, and do not, know how to code.

    Honestly, I keep thinking about a video game idea and saying "if only I knew how to code..." and then I just Don't learn how to code, because it turns out that you cannot go from "Hello World" to somehow singlehandedly making a Half-Life-esque puzzle-FPS inspired by European heraldry intended as a language learning and voice training tool, complete with full accessibility for blind and Deaf players, within two days... Who woulda thunk it!

    Anyways point is, mood

    I can seem to develop my own thinking but I have a hard time putting that thinking into words

    [looks at pile of unshared effortposts with like six drafts or something] Pssh uhh yeah totally can't relate to that hahah nope definitely not

    autism

    We are all autistic on this blessed day

    stopped watching as I haven't had the time nor the interest.

    What's been sucking up your time instead? Organizing? In this economy? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

    about 60% of it (as far as I remember, could be less) is really wholesome, cute, colorful, and enjoyable

    Honestly I remember feeling like a higher share of Maidragon was cute and wholesome than that, maybe as high as 80%, but I also just think I have less trouble with enjoying problematic media than most people. Like my top 3 anime I watched in 2022 was Samurai Champloo, Maria†Holic, and Cowboy Bebop. Yes, Maria†Holic uses the T-slur. Yes, I am a trans woman. My brains are just That wormy that I can somehow look at most cis/het nonsense in anime as a parody of itself even when it is completely sincere.

    Incidentally my boomer mom likes Maidragon so you're now cursed with that knowledge

    Anyways, velkommen ombord, cheers

        but the CPP (Communist Party of the Philippines) seems to be one of the most advanced (and active) Communist formations on the planet.

        The Naxalites are Maoists, too, aren't they?

        I go to school full time and work part-time

        Imagine having a job, couldn't be me

        watch "educational" youtube videos and documentaries

        Let me guess, you're referring to things like that nearly four hour video about invisible walls in Super Mario 64 :P

        Also I kind of just stopped paying attention to Anime, although I am watching Delicious in Dungeon and it is quite good.

        All I've really been watching lately is the OG PreCure because watching seasonal anime as it comes out is overrated. I pretty much only end up watching seasonals like several years late — you've gotta let them age at the bottom of the plan-to-watch list like a fine Kakhetian wine, until you're so certain you're gonna end up liking them that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

        My mom is no boomer but if I showed it to her she would probably be concerned for my well-being.

        Has she seen any anime?

            Those and "breadtube" (don't laugh!), stuff like 1Dimes Cultural Revolution video or Marxism Today's on the Naxalites, actually.

            I found Marxism Today just the other day, incidentally.

            I'm actually so out of touch I didn't know it was a seasonal. Hopefully it's not one of those "twelve episodes and then no season 2" Anime

            It could also be that I don't actually know what "seasonal anime" means. I've always just assumed it basically means "every anime that comes out in a given season" so it'd be kind of embarrassing to find out that I've been using that term wrong the whole time.
