I was thinking,

Yes left and right don’t get along or see eye to eye on politics. Old news.

So let’s not even bother with that conversation. It’s just arguing and there’s lots of politics and arguments on lemmy anyways.

I’m curious to know though, however, what are somethings we have shared interests in that are outside of the political spectrum?

I’ll just name somethings I like:

Phone cases (obsessed lol), make up, goth and rockabilly fashion, German industrial music, Arabic singers like Elisa (most BEAUTIFUL FUCKING VOICE EVER. She even has a perfume), Amir Diab (Egyptian club type dance), perfume and perfume oils, DIY crafting, clothes (lots of peplum), internet forums, tech, gadgets, robots, AI, chatbots, electronic swimming or moving bug toys, NOSTR, different social media protocols, reddit alternatives, vaping, BBQ, walking, making videos and memes.

What about you?

    I worked with a dude from Syria during the civil war there. The conversation went something like:

    Him: Hey fjordmonkey, do you want to hear some middle eastern music?

    Me: Sure (was pretty good NGL)

    Him: I like middle eastern music, it’s all like “boo hoo everyone is trying to blow up my family. I’m so sad” lol.

    Me: Dude, wtf

    The place had two other Syrians working there. One spoke Arabic and Norwegian, the other spoke Arabic and English. I could talk to either of them fine but three way conversations weren’t possible without repeating everything we said. But yeah Arabic music is cool.

    But I digress I like foraging for mushrooms and berries, fishing, looking for little crabs on rocky beaches, being on the water (but regrettably I don’t have a boat), growing peppers, driving around in the mountains, camping.

    Edit: I also like making fancy cakes, but I’m not very good at it.
