I know some random stuff and would be happy to help another Poaler for more specific stuff other than general questions on Poal.

For example, I knit, crochet, use Linux (passthrough hardware to a vm), have lived in many states, make yogurt, and lots of random.

I don't know if there's even a good way to list our knowledge so others could DM us. It would be cool to be able to keep editing the list only because my memory makes it so that I will only randomly think of things I know ...

You are the second to last woman on Poal, as far as I can tell.

My Wife is here too but she just wants to lurk. There are probably far more women here than we would expect.

I wish Poal was more of a men's club.

I don't want women reading my poetry.

I think that's how it works. I've been around since the 90s. I lurk or I'm noisy without people realizing I'm a chick. I remember running tremulous servers and a team speak server with it and having people flip out when I spoke. Geeky chicks fit in until our voices are heard or we are truly noisy about it (as I have been here and on voat).

She uses callsigns that are not obviously "woman" for a reason. Though, we pretty only voice-chat with people we already know so that has not been a issue.

When I was younger I did see that happening a lot though.

"OMGF, GIRL!!!!!" then everyone loses their minds for a few minutes. I don't get it. Sucks that you had to deal with that.

Lol. Knitting is easier for dudes to learn imo. I have taught more guys knitting than anything. Maybe we can start a Poal knitting circle.

In 7th grade, at the hippie school I attended, we all had to take electives.

For some reason, all the male chads in my class took knitting, and I took creative writing.

I'll never forget our shared math class, and all the bullies staring me down, as they knitted their scarfs...

I taught knitting to kids who wanted more shit when I was a librarian. I wasn't allowed to let them play StarCraft my more than once a week and watch anime once a week so we started knitting. They thought they'd get chicks. These were young kids like 12 to 15. Poor boys. The girls showed up, got bored with the knitting and I just showed them random movies when they learned it well enough to knit without thinking. I bet some of those boys still knit. I never cared if they knitted it not. I wanted them to socialize in a good way. The girls did keep coming for the movie and food.

There are more women on Poal than you might think. And I mean real women.

Edit: typo

Well, fair enough.

Can I complain about one more thing?
