    I just read the Locked Tomb series. I consumed all three books in about two weeks, and am eagerly awaiting the fourth.

    It's unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy, as well as the unique narration through the three books (largely unreliable) really grabbed my attention.

    I'd definitely recommend giving Gideon the Ninth (the first in the series) a shot if you're at all a fan of fantasy.

    I don't understand how the Aztec was so polarizing. It was a bit before my time, but it seems a little bit different than most cars but not particularly hideous.

    I only saw the second Cloverfield movie, but I liked it enough. I was thinking about watching the third sometime soon though.

    Hmm, I imagine you'll do quite well in software engineering based on your description of yourself

    All is going well for me, thanks. I know what you mean about not playing D&D enough. I'm in a club for my university and we used to play once a week, but since summer started we've only been able...

    Utah doesn't seem to be a great place for studying marine life, do you study any there, or just teaching in Utah?

    Welcome! Personally I'm very liberal I believe in more than two genders, and a bit conflicted on the second amendment.

    I certainly don't support Trump, but I'm glad to have you here. I also enjoy hearing dissenting opinions, and hope Tildes will foster a community where people of differing opinions can mingle.

    Welcome! I just finished my first CS course (C++), and it was quite challenging, but very rewarding.

    Your absolutely right, I really like to hear about people's personal experiences, cause they allow me to hopefully empathize with a situation I don't experience.

    Thanks for responding! I know this kind of stuff is hard, I often struggle myself to answer these sorts of questions, but I'm glad you did.

    You know, that actually makes a lot of sense. I don't particularly care for gender roles in society, in fact I think they're often pretty harmful. I certainly don't conform to some of them, and I just try to be me. I identify as a man, but perhaps that's more of a language thing, than how you I feel inside. I don't know that's a perspective I've never considered, thank you.

    Yeah, to me also I feel culturally disconnected with a lot of Gen Z stuff, though the same could be said about Millennial stuff too. I'm kind of in an awkward nowhere land.

    That makes sense to me, and I understand from an intellectual level. And I myself would say that I don't confirm to many of societies gender roles, and don't really care about them.

    But it's hard for me to conceptualize what it means personally to someone to be genderless. It's hard because despite not caring about gender roles at all, I still feel like a man, the same way I feel like I'm a human. It's just so integral to the way I think, that I don't quite understand how someone genderless feels.

    It really is a hell of a question isn't it? And I hope you don't take offense to this, but would you mind explanaining what you mean by genderless? I want to know what that means for you.

    Thanks,

    I'm doing pretty well, I'm working an exciting internship, and school is about to start again for the semester, which I'm pretty excited about.

    I don't have much to complain about right now, the only thing that could be better is if I were in a relationship, but even without that I'm having a great time.
