Debt
Stop calling me!
I knew this would be here
Hobbies
A fellow SCAdian?
That one popped up on my radar, but I typically tilt toward hobbies which are literally productive.
Guitars.
I mean I actually do use all of them. Most of them. Some of them.
…
One of them.
But the other ones looked so pretty.
You get me.
Pirated TV series, specifically those that are finished.
Experience from bad decisions.
Good judgement come from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.
I stopped because I don’t want it to overtake my living space more but X-Men figures.
I started a british tea towel collection. But than I figured out that life is ridiculously expensive, so I haven’t traveled abroad in 20 years. My tea towel collection is still 3.
Knives, flashlights, and books.
Interesting mix. What do you look for in a new acquisition?
I don’t take it too seriously. For knives it has to do with the metal quality. You don’t want pot metal knives. For flashlights it has to be L.E.D.S. I really like Olight. For books, it is mostly occult or esoteric if non fiction. For fiction I prefer fantasy and urban fantasy , like the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
I have a thing for gentleman knives, especially those made from particular materials. Böker has recently released one made from meteorite steel which I adore. But since these knives are VERY expensive I can’t justify this passion to my wife, so I never started collecting.
Bokers are awesome, I can’t afford them sadly. I can’t justify dropping $200 plus on a knife. I’ve been thinking about getting an Opinel just to see what the hype is about. They are very affordable.
I collect spores, molds and fungus.
You must be some fungi.
Godzilla toys - I have hundreds of Godzilla figures I don’t know why but they make me happy.
At least they make you happy.
Godzilla will never go out for a pack of smokes and not come back.
I have a bunch too, but the collection started by accident.
I like Godzilla. I like the old movies, I like the new ones. He’s a giant radioactive lizard, what’s not to like? I’m not a superfan, but I enjoy the franchise(s).
I’m supposedly hard to buy for, I think mostly because my interests lie outside the rest of the my family’s to an extent, and tend to be niche or technical in nature, so I get Godzilla swag and toys for Xmas and birthdays. I don’t mind, it’s fun.
At my age, wrinkles.
Books and LEGO.
I can see your bookcases sweating from here.
I have a couple hundred keys I’ve found on the street over the years. I also have a collection of old cameras. I have 9 right now, but I’m getting a whole box of them for free in the next few days.
Books, ebooks, ukuleles/guitalele/guitars, knowledge, hobbies, notebooks, fountain pens, ink, tools, knives, bags till I find the perfect one. Not all of them very actively, but I have a few of each of them…
Please share your useless knowledge!
You can grab a cobra by the neck by really slowly pushing it’s head down to the ground. Start high with your hand and remember: no sudden moves.
That’s potentially life saving nice work
nothing anymore really. I have a few things that I sorta don’t want to part with from my earlier consumer days but now I just want to dejunk and live sparesly.
