    It was a legitimate question, but whatever. The title says ask anything.
    She was somewhat amused, I think, me not so much. Not appropriate for this forum, sir.

    No I don't have the lived experience of a South African,
    other than my first adopted parents being killed in the post-apartheid rural crime wave.
    But I am a Freedom Front voter, I am voting next month.

    My appearance is clearly Dutch or other Nordic Germanic
    It's up to you, I guess. Not really for me to say. It's your identity, not mine. . So don't change it.

    We are mostly the same, of the same mind, but she is more paranoid, more reclusive, a darker personality in general.
    There is no way to tell us apart online. And we look the same in real life too, no unique identifying marks.

    We both give you thumbs up!

    Some posts are all hers, some posts are all mine, we are online at different times depending on our schedule.

    I don't think we can understand how her life is but all real twins are more or less fusional like that in my experience.

    Really? I need to put 'marry identical twins' on my top-to-do list.

    I think that home-schooling CAN be more efficient and time-saving than regular schooling for some people,
    so it is possible to learn more, faster, without being slowed down by others.
    Much less time is spent or wasted on homework and unnecessary activities,
    and it is possible to read and learn more of what is truly interesting, useful and desired.
    And learning is more customised, can become more specialised when strengths are identified.
    Also, I am free from the distractions of group projects, social life, cliques, peer pressure, dating, etc.

    2) No, I am much too eccentric and unusual for political office.

    3) The more crime and violence one is exposed to, the more right-wing one becomes (if one is a moral person).
    I think that sincere liberal-leftists are simply very sheltered, naive, and insulated from the consequences of their own policies.
    So their beliefs are often luxury beliefs.


    This is the best summary I wrote on this thread of my political ideas, I am open-minded, please reply if you like:
    https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...=1#post7947568

    4) No, I don't want more surveillance. The old-fashioned, common-sense, simple and direct methods work best.
    Many places have greatly reduced their crime in recent history without mass surveillance.

    5) Many large charities or nonprofit organisations are political and economically self-interested,
    hardly helping anyone in real life, like most foundations and philanthropists.
    I think only 5% of donations to the Clinton Foundation actually helps anyone, the rest is "expenses".
    And the most respected charities like the Red Cross spend around 50% of their money on bureaucracy.
    So unless you are willing to support the bureaucracy of a large, respected charity (which may be necessary),
    the best thing is to support a small local charity that you know is sincere and making a difference!

    6) I don't sleep much, only 2-4 hours at a time, twice a day (bimodal sleep pattern), flexible hours.
    I am very energetic and TA is my only creative hobby right now.
    I don't have time for everything that I want to do, many activities compete for my time.
    Also my household is 3 adults, often/usually 5 adults (only 1 man), so labour is divided very efficiently. No kids

    7) Yes my sister posts as well using my account, almost half of my posts are hers.

    8) Thanks, I have not heard of it! You gave me a new avatar idea. But Riza looks more like me in real life.
    I don't know much about anime, my avatar comes from Yandex image search.
    One thing you should know about me is I sit on the fence a lot and it's not easy for me to take one proper viewpoint, even after I consider facts and data. I don't know why I am like this. For example, I would often complain to people I know that the way we reacted to Covid was ridiculous, that we were ruining our society but locking everything down and basically almost forcing vaccination on civilians, but then at night to myself I would doubt what I said and even feel a little guilty about what I said. If you look at the data, it says it is only a statistically significant threat to those over 80. Well isn't a typical influenza flew like that too you might ask? Well not quite. Covid is a pretty much a joke of a virus, but what if you are over 80? 85? 90? What if you have a weakened immune system? What if you are a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy? What if you have an autoimmune disease? How would you feel about the virus spreading rapidly then? It's not that easy just to say it is harmless to 99% of the population? There is no easy answer to this question. Covid was a very borderline type of virus. Not as serious as a lot of other illnesses, but a little worse than influenza flew. We don't have lockdowns for influenza you might say? It's a valid point, but Covid is a little worse than influenza especially in the extremely vulnerable. Well isn't influenza also dangerous to 90 year old cancer patients too? Yes it is but the data shows covid poses a slightly more dangerous risk, so perhaps the vaccines, lockdowns, ect are all worth it? There is no clear answer. I'm probably leaning a little more to thinking that we handled it poorly and overreacted and didn't get that balance right, but I do doubt myself sometimes... I honestly think there is no right or wrong answer in this case. Most things aren't black and white. They are often grey.

    I am the same politically. You should never be sure of anything entirely. Always be willing to change are try to see the other viewpoint and realise not everything is black and white and complex issue require complex discussion and opinion. For example, and don't take this the wrong way because it's not supposed to be, but you said in your AMA thread that the main reason you are on the right is because of the crime and violence you have been exposed to. It's a valid point and I would probably take up the same opinion if I was in your shoes, but do you think it's right to advocate political ideology based on anecdotes? There might be reasons why you are exposed to so much danger which the ordinary person would not be, and this might be skewing your perception. For example, the crime situation might seem worse than it is because you inadvertently (through no fault of your own) have placed a target for crime by living in very large houses, constant travel, ect which might make you a target for crime. I'm not saying it's right, don't get me wrong, but your experience shouldn't create policy for everyone else.

    I often try to look at the science and facts, but even these aren't always useful in something as complex as politics and opinion, having the data is one thing, but who is to draw the line at hoe much weight that data should be given in making policy and political decisions? Data is not enough it needs to be analysed and interpreted and opinions formed.

    Sorry for going on but I'm just trying to give a different viewpoint. I might be wrong but that's what I feel like writing today. Don't worry I myself don't even agree with what I write. I'm very jekyll and Hyde with my opinions.

    And that was a very interesting read, you lived quite the life, very exciting but I'm happy you and your family are safe now. I read every word of it and you did a good job painting the moments in my head. It's just hard for me respond with quotes and to separate sentences as I am phone posting.

    I private messaged you this but thought I would also post it here as it's kind of related to some of the questions I asked too and you encourage me to post in this thread. But don't worry I left out your parts for privacy Incase you didn't want anything shared.
