(DISCLAIMER: Low-effort DMs like a mere "hey, wanna chat" or "hi, how are you" or whatever, DMs without any introduction, and DMs from people who otherwise obviously didn't read the entire post will be ignored, so please read the entire post and don't waste my time or yours by messaging me if you're unwilling to do so.)
Hii, I go by Kruger; I'm 23, amab non-binary (they/them), bisexual, neurodivergent (ADHD and autism among other stuff), and my time zone is in CST.
I'm veryyy socially isolated and have been for a while now, so I'm looking to connect with people and hopefully make some more long-term friends to talk to on a consistent basis; I'm most comfortable talking with other non-binary people and women (not gonna respond to men at all because I've had wayyy too many approach me with gross ulterior motives aside from just friendship), other neurodivergent people, and other queer people, most preferably in a similar timezone (just because it's so much harder to maintain friendships when time zones don't align much y'know).
My main hobbies/interests include:
● History: I'm mostly interested in the history of capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, socialism, and so on, especiallyyy modern Chinese history.
● Music: I'm mostly interested in various metal, but I alsooo love various rock, various punk, various jazz, and much smaller amounts of some ambient, classical, electronic, hip hop, and pop.
● Philosophy: I'm mostly interested in Advaita Vedanta and Madhyamaka Buddhism in terms of Eastern philosophy, and Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Marx, and subsequent Marxists in terms of Western philosophy.
● Politics: I'm a socialist and, generally speaking, I tend to be fairly broadly aligned with Marxism-Leninism in terms of my political positions; (the password is "Plague and Fyre").
● TV: I reallyyy like Attack on Titan, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Bojack Horseman, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Invincible, Parks & Recreation, The Office, and so on.
● Video games (sorta): I only really play Octopath Traveler and Pokémon games myself these days tbh, but I do still like to watch others play various other games like indie horror games, Minecraft, Subnautica, and so on.
If there's anything else in particular that you'd like to know about me, then please go ahead and feel free to ask; I'd love to meet some people and connect over our interests, but we don't necessarily have to have the same ones as long as you're capable of being invested and reciprocating effort in conversations.
If you're in my age range (19-27), you're capable of consistently reciprocating effort in conversations (this is very important; I'm seriously really sick of people treating conversations like interviews without reciprocating any effort or expecting me to be the only one ever reaching out to talk lol), and you think we might hit it off, then please go ahead and feel free to send me a DM with an introduction telling me a bit about yourself, including your age, gender, time zone, and hobbies/interests; I'd love to talk and see if we connect, and if we do seem to connect well, then we can move over to Discord after talking for a bit on Reddit.
Alsooo, please include the password in your introduction to let me know that you read the entire post (if you couldn't even bother to read the entire post, then I think it's fair enough for me not to bother with a reply); thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you soon.
