In what ways are you absolutely the stereotype?
Well, I’m a software developer who knows way more about science fiction and fantasy than I really should, and if you get me drunk I’ll probably tell you all about how Sauron is an ainur and therefore didn’t actually die when the One Ring was destroyed - since the ainur can’t die - but he did lose all his power and henceforth existed perpetually as a powerless and intangible shadow…
And when you wake up, I might still be talking.
hm I’ve never thought abt it that way :)
Yeah, but the eagles!!!
And here I thought he was Maiar.
Oh, he is. The Maiar are “lesser Ainur” in Tolkien’s cosmology. They’re “of the same order as the Valar but of less degree.” “Ainur” is kind of an umbrella term, the way “angel” is in Christianity.
Melkor, now known as Morgoth after being cast out, was once a Valar, but his cruelty and evil make him the foe of all of Arda. Mairon, a Maiar of Aulë, actually started down his own path of evil as a lieutenant of Morgoth, becoming Sauron.
Sleepy yet?
No, and I already knew all of this. Spend some time in jail with the Silmarillion, and you’ll know all the names. 🤣
Lol! Yeah, I can imagine. But for me, I didn’t need the boredom of jail to read the Silmarillion.
I do for the sake of straight up studying it which seems like the proper way to go about it.

Politically Incorrect.
I’m a leftist and I spend way too much time arguing with people who were never going to listen to me anyway.
If you convince even just one person to change their Kmnd to be more tolerant, you did more than most people.
I’m in a couple where one of us has a stereotypical “hourglass” body shape low waist hip ratio etc and the other is tall etc and has the stereotypical “inverted triangle” body shape.
It’s annoying because we both think evolutionary psychology theory about people being more attracted to that stuff is a complete load of horseshit and we are attracted to a wide range of body types.
But it’s kind of undermining trying to make that argument irl.
I am a woman and I will make nests out of pillows at every given opportunity.
I’m for it. Let’s trade notes.
The secret is many pillows. Many different pillows of many different shapes and densities and materials. Different fillings. And then, you have to experiment by placing them all around you in ways that feel comfy. But once you find a comfy situation, you don’t give up then, oh no. You must keep rotating until you find the ideal situation.
It may turn out that you need more pillows. But that’s just how it goes.
My secret trick is that once you are well coated in pillows, you bring in a blanket or two, bunch them all up, and use them as pillows.
I am a software developer and gamer who lives in his mother’s basement and watches anime.
In my defense: I am in the process of buying my own house, I practice good hygiene, and I do have a social life (unlike a stereotypical basement-dweller). I have no excuse for the anime, that’s on me.
What’s wrong with the anime?
It’s anime.
That’s unfair. I can say the same to people who watch “silly” sitcoms
Then say it. That’s how opinions work.
Silly sitcoms are silly because they’re sitcoms. There, I said it.
But fr tho I am so not a fan of laugh tracks.
Anime is still worse.
OK bro

Well, I’m a trans lady and I’m in the middle of a comp sci degree, so…
And yet, your post history shows no sign of pictures of your socks. Curious.
Well you’ve clearly not found my other account.
Which, uh… Doesn’t exist. Yeah.

Does being a software engineer who’s also a furry count? Or does it work better the other way around perhaps
I’m old, but when I was a student, the stereotype was that everyone studying computer science was a goth. I’m a goth FWIW, but I suppose stereotypes change with the times, too.
Richmond what are you doing out of your room?
Id say tech guys are more widely known for the classic “Anime Waifu” than being furrys, but I dont know enough about the furry community to discount this one.
Men never get compliments.
I totally do.
I’ve gotten a few here and there. It wasn’t an everyday thing until I got with my now-wife. Now we call each other hot all the time.
I compliment my friends. So, some men get compliments :)
Not recent but at one point during my uni life I was a brown international student, studying computer science, and working at a call centre as a part time job. The fact that my parents are doctors made it that much worse somehow.
You hit 4 markers at once, thats pretty impressive.
