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.
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.
I'm a non-binary, vegan, theatre school drop-out. I dye my hair a new colour every couple of weeks, my main means of transportation is a bicycle, and I'm currently unemployed but my last job was as a barista. Oh and I've read some Marx unironically.
I'm basically a right-winger's caricature of "a goddamn librul".
Do you wear cat ears? Lol
I'm in love
Sounds like I'd get along with ya.
Anti social nerd who just wants to be left alone to do his job and go home at the end of the day to play video games.
Let's start a club where none of us have to talk to each other and we just go home and play video games!
You're already a member, you just don't know yet
Yes! Just be sure to not let me know where the first official meet up won't be me.
The owner of a previous company I worked for once called me "a long haired, pot smoking hippie" and I can't say he was too far off the mark.
Thats just an accurate description (apparently) there has to be more to this... do you own any lava lamps? Tie dyed t-shirts? HOW MANY PHISH CONCERTS HAVE YOU BEEN TO!?!
Well, the long hair part is the only descriptive part of that, as I am very conscientious about the smell (never came anywhere near my work gear) and I didn't make a point to talk about my politics or views on gardening and shit in the work place, so guessing 2/3 ain't bad based on the one feature.
Autistic Transfemes IT on Lemmy
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?
Does being a software engineer who's also a furry count? Or does it work better the other way around perhaps
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.
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?
You know how you occasionally see articles about the male loneliness epidemic? Hi, that's me. Haven't spent more than a week around people in person in close to 5 years despite livingright next to a big city, struggling with depression and social anxiety, starved for physical and emotional affection but can't bring myself to do anything about it, yeah. Snuggled and slept with an ace friend overnight on a couch at a big get together and it sent me into a massive depressive spiral! You know this meme?
Yeah that's me. I'm definitely not an incel, I'm self aware and not entitled, the only thing holding me back is me and my stupid fucking brain. There's hope, antidepressants and therapy have been helping a lot. I just feel like the posterchild for the struggling, lonely but not "redpill nutjob" guys out there
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 mind to be more tolerant, you did more than most people.
I am a woman and I will make nests out of pillows at every given opportunity.
Im approaching 40 and instead of buying a sportscar and fucking a coworker, I started working out and shaving my head.
That'll just make the coworker come to you.
Exactly, just let him cook for a little while.
Millennials can't afford mid-life crises :(
I wear leather jackets with metal band T-shirts and jeans and am covered in scars and tattoos.
I'm basically the spitting image of what mothers tell their children to avoid looking like
But are you also a softie with a heart of gold, or are you actually worth warning my kids about?
Both. I'll protect your kids with my life but they're gonna learn a few new words
Men never get compliments.
I compliment my friends. So, some men get compliments :)
I'm a Scottish man that likes whisky, haggis, and beer and I actually do own and wear (at the right occasions) a kilt. Unfortunately I balance it out by having an accent from a different part of the country to the one that adds about a dozen extra syllables to "purple burglar alarm"
I'm hearing something like "puerrrapleuh buerrragluerrr alarrrum." Do I have that about right?
Frankly I think we should call up the International Phonetic Association and tell them that you've developed a better transcription system than their alphabet
Pakistani guy who loves his spicy food. I keep a bottle of crushed red peppers in the break room at work for when the boss orders pizza for the office.
Beer lover with very big beer belly. And extremely snobbish about craft beer.
I am a left-leaning suburbanite dog-loving dad who fancies himself a versatile and practical can-do type who prefers function to form, but also has a little disposable income and sometimes thinks jeeps look fun. Subaru marketing execs were damn near salivating.
I am Czech and I drink lots of beer.
On the other hand I am brewmaster and in this case stereotypes don't apply. Lots of people image of brewmasters is something like "middle aged obese man". But you have to be quite fit to manipulate with kegs and get to places (tanks) to clean.
Well, I'm a trans lady and I'm in the middle of a comp sci degree, so...
