First off I'm retired because I inherited money and it's enough to last out my lifetime. I didn't actually do a real job and work until I got a gold watch or anything. ;)

Might sound great but just remember I'm the sole surviving member of my family, everything just funneled to me. If you have a loving family you're a richer person than I will ever be.

I honestly did the law degree just for fun and in case I ever need to fall back on a job, and I'm looking into going to university again at some point soon.

With my mental health issues and lack of a support network life is sometimes a bit of a struggle, I spend my days mostly watching YouTube and reading up about random things online, keeping fit, playing video games, etc. I spend a lot of time on the internet and I'm a bit too fond of distractions.

I have dreams to write a book and create a video game, which I'm sort of working on. Progress is slow but I have plenty of ideas.

I'm looking make a close long-term friend, and I really enjoy calls so building up to those would be ideal.

When it comes to chatting to people on here, people tend to find me engaging at first because I'm smart but I rub them up the wrong way quickly. I have a bunch of extremely controversial opinions and I just can't help but let people know them. I'm not going to agree with people just to be polite.

I'll list a few. Myers Briggs personality types are silly, SSRIs are questionable at best, Breaking Bad is lame, identity politics are stupid, Elon Musk is a conman (even Shkreli is cooler), Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan are stupid, Netflix is trashy, Beavis and Butt-head was one of the most sharply written shows, 100 gecs are awesome, Noam Chomsky is the smartest man alive, narrative fiction can never outdo sports for drama, MF DOOM was the greatest rapper ever, TED Talks are rubbish (except Sam Hyde), Rocko's Modern Life is the best animated show ever, 90s Eurodance is amazing, and modern life is some kind of cognitive dissonance simulator.

I love chatting to people from all walks of life and all different schools of thought. Free to tell me if you strongly disagree with any of the above, I've found you can learn the most from people who don't think the same as you.

Feel free to pick me up on any of these, or ask me what I think about any topic you would like to discuss! Or just say hi, whatever works. Haha.
