I am an independent amateur maker type who likes technology, making electronic things, collecting processors and other kinds of integrated circuits, drawing and collecting pictures of chips, railfanning, listening to good music and watching YouTube videos, much of which deal with technology and the sciences. Although I'm not much of a gamer, I do have some interest in video games and gaming computer technologies. Specifically, I am mainly into the soundtracks and artwork from various popular video games, especially RPGs and JRPGs. I do also have some interest in anime, mostly for the artworks. I do not prefer to dabble much in politics, though I guess you could describe me as a slightly "radical" moderate and very independent. I don't care at all for tribalism or tribalistic behavior and I am apt to be deeply critical of political parties and fanboys of all sorts and stripes. I strongly dislike Nazis and so-called "white nationalists" as well as the KKK and other known hate/terrorist groups. I view these as being unreasonable and stupid. I feel there is no way in which to "educate" people like that or to talk to them. I form my own opinions regarding conspiracy theories, mostly disapproval of those who perpetuate such stupid lies and disinformation. I also harbor a similar disdain for established religions and I am non-religious, though I DO NOT prefer to use the term "atheist" to describe my irreligiousity. I don't particularly care for proselytizers and don't appreciate being described as "heathen" or "unfaithful" by them, nor do I take kindly to their insistence that I'm "going to Hell" if I don't "repent". I am equally deeply critical of business, especially multi-trillion-dollar sized business that seeks to maximize profit at the expense of the customer's experiences. I HATE companies that think it's okay to spy on the individual and steal their data to re-sell to third- and fourth-party companies and advertising firms who then use that ill-gotten data to push targeted ads at the users of online services. I am NOT against people earning money in order to pay for their essential needs, but corporatists ought to be held accountable for their misdeeds every chance that arises and if they do not abide by the law, should be punished and made to conform with whatever force is deemed necessary, even if it results in them going swiftly out of business. Small family- and individual-owned businesses are good, big corporate giants are BAD. I believe in individual responsibility and accountability and I believe the status quo in life at the present is unsustainable.
