Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Existing is difficult. What are your favorite ways to unwind / chill out?

I personally have gotten really into crafting. Doesn't take much in terms of tools and it feels good to get good at something without thinking about making money. My family also loves the gifts :)

Despite being involved in politics a lot I don't really care about politics in any way. It is not my passion.

So my normal life consist of other things. My biggest passion in life is nature. I garden a lot, trying to create more biodiversity on my city balcony. Grow native plants and some food for myself. Herbs, veggies, fruits, that kind of things. I also go out to hike often.

Furthermore the gym is a place I frequent a lot. I like to keep myself active and keep myself fit and strong. Partly because of politics, partly because I don't want to become a fragile old man later on like many people in my family did. Plus I like working out, so.

Currently my evening routine consists of reading Star Wars while drinking tea and listening to classical music, which I recently discovered I like a lot. The current star Wars serie I'm reading consists of 19 books and I have 17 more to go so it'll keep my busy for a whole.

It's good to keep doing your own thing. After all the majority of people don't care about politics and the best way to stay in touch with them, I think, is to keep doing things you like and finding like minded people you can talk with.

Yeah, I'm trying to pursue more activities outside of reading theory so I can have more in common with my community. Being a politics nerd is great but your average person won't respect you until you've already built a connection with them.
