I forgot to mention. If you use country balls to explain something I'm not taking you seriously.

Depending on your age Mactonight are two completely different things. If your gen-x or millennial Mactonight is the weird fast food mascot you saw at McDonald's 20 years ago. If your a zoomer Mactonight is Moonman, the vaporwave, alt-right rapper who loves to say the n-word and kill minorities.

I remember my dad listening to Moonman songs.

Surly there were always people who say things like "wow, I can't believe this thing is happening it's like it's 2004" or something.

I hope he's enjoying a "succulent Chinese meal." in haven.

"furries are a whole different breed."

I see what you did there

Straight people even today live with the fear of being perceived as gay so there very closed off and distant.

No

Thank you and you do too

I see this is a dig at some politician you don't like. Pretty funny

"What do you do for work?"

I'm a burger flipper at Burger King.

"What level of education have you completed?"

I was a super senior at high school graduating at age 20 and I never went to university or college although I would like to.

"Were the results a surprise?"

Yes they were.

"And most importantly, has it affected your self-esteem at all"

I'm not capable of low self esteem. It's more like I feel shame and anger for it.

"or do you know how little an IQ test actually means?"

I hate people saying this. It's like if you were blind and everyone who could see told you that vision doesn't mean anything. I have seen first hand how IQ affects you. I remember how different I was to the other kids in my school. The way they could just learn things I couldn't. I've experienced how my IQ has singled me out from everyone else. Do you know what it's like to come to terms with the fact that no matter how hard you try you'll always be slower then everyone else? Do you know what it's like to come to terms with the fact that you'll never be a nurse, programmer or go to university/college no matter how hard you try? Do you know what it's like to come to terms with the fact that you'll never develop over the mental age of a teenager? No, you won't so fuck off with this corny bullshit about trying your hardest. Real life is not some cheesy sports movie where you really put your mind to something and overcome all the odds. That doesn't happen in the real world. Kid.

Don't really have one. I play video games, shitpost on the web and watch Futurama/movies a lot.

"How did you find out about Lemmy?"

I looked up Reddit alternatives and it came up. Reddit has a bad reputation and it's got too many rules. It's impossible to post anywhere cuz you never have enough karma.

"It seems it’s mostly a niche place for tech nerds and commies and you don’t seem to be either?"

Well, I was pretty interested in programming a few years ago because of game modding.

"Also what keeps you here?"

Same things that keep me anywhere. Interacting with others and the interesting communities.

"Wouldn’t the NPD push you towards more popular platforms?"

It has been proven that people with NPD use social media more. I'm no exception I have accounts on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, twitter and SnapChat.

"Sorry for asking so many questions"

It's no problem that's what I'm here for.

"your experience sounds very unique and you actually seem very eloquent and thoughtful."

Isn't everyone's? And thank you I've worked on words and spelling for a while now.
