ITT: You shill your interests Talk about what you do for fun and profit and what you want to and what you aspire to do with those.
I've been studying some languages in the last years, consider myself fluent in 2 foreign languages including English (although not perfect, should be noted), but recently I realized that 3 languages and nothing more to add is the same as nothing, at least for an aspiring translator.
Besides languages, I used to like programming and mathematics, but it's a curse since I suck incredibly high at those. My logical reasoning is terrible, trying to find a solution to a problem feels like guessing numbers and getting all of them wrong.
I do like something more: Literature. My language got peak of it. Unfortunately, people in my country don't enjoy reading much for various reasons. I myself don't read much, too busy grinding for 13h screentime.
Here are more stuff I'm interested in, but haven't put effort in:
>COMPUTING GENERAL I aspire to get a Kindle, jailbreak an old phone of mine into a lean postmarketOS install for a router, serving a Kiwix server, and pointing the Kindle browser onto it. It's a solution for my screen time that I have yet to test. Hardest part is getting a Kindle, and so far the plan is sound. I still got to think of what will go wrong. Is this phone compatible with pmOS or will Networkmanager run normally?
I know something about Linux, but I never got my hands on a serious machine besides Arm-based ones. Can't say for sure I'll succeed in getting a small Amd64 laptop and run a distro on it, but that's another goal.
>SEWING I like ragdolls. I think I can squeeze a sewing machine in my house. But for now, I'll save for the needle and cloth and the basic stuff.
>RELIGION Although not a fan of Christianity, I'm interested in some other religions like Shinto, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam.
>CARTOONS (I'm 18+) I watched them mainly in English since that's the only available language in my go-to piracy website. Right now, I'm training my Russian on Smeshariki and Umka (2022), and I get my French in check with Lou.
