re: What’s a weird quirk about your life?

Outside of sports or news I rarely watch much TV either.
Pop culture is the new opiate of the masses. Journalism is dead, entertainment is "woke" and loaded with hypocrites.
The world is very phony.

What’s a weird quirk about your life?
I am very weird about privacy and personal space. Very set in my ways and a creature of my own routine. Don't like being on someone else's schedule.
The best example of this would be vacation.
I need to have my own private space for sleeping, and my own vehicle on trips. This was learned after going on vacation with another couple and basically being at their mercy for everything.

I rarely listen to music. I couldn't name more than a couple of modern artists. I like music but I just don't listen to it often.
My friends give me shite because I'm the youngest in the group (they're all late 30s, I'm 30) and I never know the song when some pop song is playing.
I listen to music every day, but I basically only do jazz, blues, and some misc. retro music I discovered for cooking music.

fair enough. I'll admit my perception is probably skewed as I have a better feel for the average in the South having lived here my whole life vs only observing the more affluent areas of Buenos Aires and Bariloche (Lake Tahoe equivalent). I still stand by my original opinion but concede that apparently the average Argentine is fatter than I previously thought

My entire attitude changed like a switch with Covid. It's like I had an epiphany when people started buying all the toilet paper. I think it finally occurred to me that the world thinks in a much different way than I ever will. Now I just want everyone to be happy and, most importantly, leave me alone.

Mississippi sucks but it’s not exactly a beacon of extremism.
I lived there 10 years. I met one professor who called himself a utopian socialist and one guy who'd supposedly been in the Klan.
I thought South Mississippi pre-Katrina was pretty damned good. It wasn't crowded and it wasn't pretentious. The bars in Biloxi and Gulfport were open 24/7 and there were actual women there. You could play golf, or hunt, or shoot, or drag race your car without worrying about having to wait in line behind 54 rich Iranians. I was able to afford my own free-standing house right out of college.
People say things like, "you don't realize what you've got 'til it's gone" but I always realized someone (or something) would come along and frick it all up.

And you can have Norway. I've been there, and yes there are lots of hot skanks, but post-coitally speaking it will bore you to tears.

I guess if you don't care about natural beauty and outdoor things.

Skiing in the Lyngen Alps in the Arctic Circle is at the very top of my travel list once international travel opens back up.

It's a beautiful place. I still am not sure how it's found to be "boring."

I have not drank a glass of milk (hate the stuff) since I left home after my senior year of HS in 1969. Mom made me drink it.
For some reason I cannot eat hamburgers. Last time I are one was probably 40 years ago. I told the host to make the smallest one possible covered it in ketchup, mustard, relish, pickle, and onion. I was pretty drunk.
Never watched Harry Potter, Lord of Rings, most of the Star Wars movies or Black Sails.
I always drive my own car (alone) when a group of us go on golf trips. I need to be able to up and leave whenever I want.

Bingo. I also don't invite people over for similar reasons. I don't know when they will leave.

Norway does have some pretty breathtaking scenery, I'll admit. I just thought it felt like an entire country built out of Beau Chene, or the Sanctuary.
It frankly depressed the crap out of me. Everyone you meet is taller than you, richer than you, and just better than you. They close the liquor store at 6PM (earlier on weekends) and you are left, sober, to contemplate your own inferiority.
Two weeks there left me with a yearning for someplace normal like Shreveport that I can only describe as profound.

My people
My friends and I are doing a girls trip to TX wine country in a few weeks, and they cannot understand why I insist on taking my own car. Been there, done that.
I need to be able to come and go as I please. If I wake up at 7am and want to drive around town, I need the freedom to do that. If I want to drive out to a winery or brewery on a day when everyone is hungover and wants to just stay in bed all day, I need the freedom to do that.
I also want to control what stops are made on the way in/way out.

Absolutely. Nothing worse than being a captive audience.

I’ve been out of the country once and that was only to Canada for a fishing trip. I have little desire to visit the shitholes of the world.
I’ve been all over the US though
