I was hoping so hard for a Swanson meme. I thank you from the bottom of my weird little heart. "Why get a ham radio license?" Argh. Because I want to achieve my own Pyramid of Greatness.

You don't gotta get high on drugs to be comfortable with your own weird vibe.

Whoa, a fellow dingus! Hello!!

It helps though.

But you can if you want to

Does this happen? I think I've only experienced something close to this in high school, but never as an adult. Normally, people around me are either supportive or indifferent about someone learning new skills.

A disturbing percentage of people never outgrow highschool.

Yes, it does, especially when it's something people think is weird. I am a guy in my 20's and recently started learning to knit and I still have people telling me not to do it because it's weird. You just have to do what you want to do and give 0 fucks about what others think

People hate on stuff all the time. How many people do you know who have made a derisive joke about people who hang truck nuts or something similar?

Yucking others' yum is an incredibly common occurrence.

Sometimes I care about other opinion
