      I think one of the genuinely Unpopular Opinions I don't bring up very often is that I really am a minimalist in terms of physical possessions, and people like to make a sport of dunking on that and calling it progressive, and it tends to get under skin and piss me off

      It's one of those zombie backlash things, I think Like everyone who gets all self-righteous like "People who don't own furniture don't deserve to live" *thinks* they're striking back against a movement that says "People who get rid of furniture are spiritually enlightened"

      But I never, ever actually see anyone expressing the latter sentiment for real It's a giant strawman pinata Like if someone in the world actually thinks that and thinks people who own too much stuff are "materialistic" and "shallow" etc they sure as fuck aren't on Twitter

      Anyway it actually is very important to me, for deep psychological reasons, to feel like if I had to I could pack everything I own in the world into a car and drive into the sunset and vanish

      This isn't really because of actually being afraid I'll have to flee from people trying to kill or arrest me Although it isn't 100% *not* that, given the weird shit that's happened to me over the past several years

      I just wish people would be respectful that other people have different desires and needs It's not like I'm asking you to live with me

      Agreed. I wouldn’t say I’m a minimalist exactly, but I increasingly lean towards streamlining and simplicity as I’ve begun to understand my ADHD/autism more. It feels absurdly obvious to say it out loud, but clutter is just not good for my brain.

      And this plays into my tech choices as well. I flirted with PC gaming for a while, but came back to consoles because the flexibility and tinkering potential that’s cited as a positive of PC was actually more of a detriment for me.

      For nerds there's that famous Heinlein quote about how "A man should be able to... [obnoxiously long list of things, including a bunch of shit Heinlein probably actually couldn't do, or at least not do very well], specialization is for insects" It always angers me

      Being able to just do one thing well that people need you to do is a lot more than some people are ever able to do And it is absolutely okay to demand a society where that's ALL YOU NEED TO DO

          A lot of the hippie-dippie crap about needing to be a "full and complete human" really deeply annoys me Like bluntly it is fundamentally ableist, anti-neurodiversity, all of that stuff Sorry I don't get any joy from washing and chopping my own lettuce Karen

          I hate the conflation of useful skills with life necessities. Like I'd suggest people learn to change a tire, but they aren't a lesser human for being unable or simply not wanting to.
