Lootequiette: Pmann's Totally Original/Unaffiliated Thread

I believe iPhone users just truly don't know what they're missing out on. Like if you never tasted chocolate your whole life you wouldn't know what a sad existence you were living.

I’ve had both. I used to have an Android for work and a iPhone for porn. While there are things that are nice about the Android, the hardware is just not as nice to me.


I will never embrace the Oxford comma or put ugly ass solar panels on my house.

We agree. The Oxford comma can kiss my ass, butthole and dick.

Also, I’m always curious what the selling point is for solar panels on homes. You may buy this thing for $500/month that will save you $300/month. By the time you are done paying it off, you will have to dispose of these items and they will need to be replaced.

I’m not missing out on anything.. and I don’t wanna learn a new system,.. I’m too stubborn for that shit.

I do lots of things that don't make economic sense...but because it is still the right thing to do. Weird though...we paid ours off in the 8th year. That's cool. Leaves more coal for you. See how nice a guy I am?

That’s a fair thing. While the payback is still slow AF, 8 years isn’t nearly as bad to have to pay it off. However, it all depends on house size and how many panels, whether you use battery banks, etc.

Every time I collect coal for Christmas I turn it into the generating plants for a small credit. Santa thinks he’s screwing me over, but with energy prices theses days, I’m coming out on top.

And to be clear, I’m not anti-solar. I’ve literally been part of commissioning large scale solar farms. I just also know the reality of them.
 
Happy Post Thanksgiving Week, everyone.

Today, yet again, someone on Lit was surprised about my age. Everyone seems to think I’m either 25 (possibly because of my rugged, youthful disposition) or I’m like 60 (possibly because of my maturity, sage words and wise advice). However, despite this common misconception, I’m just 40 years old.

Also, sometimes people are surprised when they find that I’m athletic (possibly because I’m an intellectual and they don’t assume someone can be so smart AND athletic). But I’m good at sports. Almost any sport… except golf. Fuck that old man sport. How good at sports am I? Well, when I was VERY young, I won a 24 hour swimming competition between 200 million other contestants. I was actually the only one to finish the race. I was literally born a winner.

So… What is something surprising people often notice or bring up? What shocks people when they discover this little fact about you? Do you find it’s something different here on Lit versus in real life?
 
I never understood the intellectual <> sport divide, because most of the people in my life who are deeply intellectual (yourself included ) are athletic. It is almost as if there's a certain amount of movement or bodies need to do some deep thinking. I'm convinced that's why tradies who labor are some of the smartest people I know. They use their work to get those reps in.

I digress....

People are always shocked at how tall I am when they meet me in person for the first time. Regardless of how much I prepare them, there's nearly always a comment about my height.
 
In person people are really surprised that I’m great with kids because I chose not to have any. I’m the oldest, from a family of teachers, and dealing with clients isn’t that different than kids. I just didn’t want my own…and I think I like the ones in my life more because it’s not a 24/7 thing 😂

Depending on the setting, people are surprised by my profession. They can get superficially distracted by gregariousness, big boobs, and assume my IQ is a similar number 🤷‍♀️

Oh, and when I get really, really angry I cry (more eyes well up a bit and a single tear escapes than any sobbing, full cry.) I fucking hate it because it is NOT the appropriate expression for what I’m feeling. It’s mostly a shock because I’m known for not being very emotional, so if it randomly comes up and I tell people they don’t believe me.

I don’t know what on Lit surprises people. No pattern that has been specifically mentioned to me. Wait, maybe that I’m friends with you and think you’re very kind. Seriously 😆

Me too! It's the worst, and people don't understand it. Then I'm criticized for my stoicism for not crying when I'm sad or receive bad news
