 About A.P. Delchi : Interesting bits of knowledge.

- I'm new here. Who/what are you ? 

I am the nom de plume of a moderately average human being who has been through enough for one lifetime however continues to encounter and therein encourage more things to happen. In no specific order I am/have been a Humanist, Hacker, NYC Club DJ, Roadie, ISP conspirator, Cosplayer, Soldier, Disabled, Cat herder, Dorsai, Captain of the Starship of the Imagination, Radio DJ, Satirist, Comedian, Writer, Creator of graphic novels & web comics, Las Vegas degenerate, Drinker, Cook and all around reasonable human being outside of trauma, stress, and being poked with a sharp stick.

- What is a GNCH?

GNCH stands for Gender Non Conforming Humanist. What this means in a nutshell is that I advocate and suggest that all people eschew all gender norms established by society & I believe in the inalienable right of the Human Being to express themselves as they see fit so long as it is done with honesty, dignity, respect and without the intention of causing harm to another. This is based on the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which with acknowledgement of its flaws is a good place to start. Read more about it here. 

- So are you GBLTQ+* friendly? 

I am Human Being friendly. GBLTQ+* people are human beings, therefore I am friendly to them. If you harbor hatred or act out in a violent or otherwise unfriendly manner towards them I will not tolerate you. This does not mean my first resort is physical violence, however physical violence is not off the table as an option. 

- What about religion? 

I am an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church, and the Church of the SubGenius. "Bob" is my pilot, co-pilot, flight attendant, drink, bag of peanuts and provider of Holy Slack. This is the way. So say we all. I also believe that the American freedom of religion includes freedom from religion. 

- What is with this "A.P." business? I've always known you as Delchi.

This was born from the requirement by facebook to have a first name. Not having one I selected Arthur Phillip, from Arthur Philip Dent of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fame to round out my edges. Socially I am still "Delchi" as I have been since 1986. Glag Fi! Long live the FnF.

- What makes you different from the average person out there? 

I have not watched broadcast television / advertisements for over 25 years. I block all forms of advertising wherever possible. I believe that advertising is the intentional psychological manipulation of individuals to create an artificial need or exasperate a real need in order to sell a product or service. It is the bane of our existence and a known form of mind control. I believe that the avoidance of forced commercial advertising on the individual is a basic human right.  

- A/S/L? 

I am no one's anything in the sense of romantic relationships. I am too old, too unattractive, physically disabled, and confined to a wheelchair. I have nothing to offer in a relationship that would pass muster in the current world we live in, therefore I do not pursue it. Nothing I say, do , or emote is intended to give off the impression that I am trying or that any action I take is intended towards some kind of romantic relationship. I do not "hit on", "seduce", "convince", or otherwise attempt to convince people to engage with me in that manner. I like to think that I am male by biology, not school of thought, therefore I do not partake in the inane rituals, teachings, or actions supported by or expected of the male of the species in our current society. The education of boys and men in our society needs a complete and absolute change, and the blame for bad actors falls squarely on the shoulders of this education and should not in any way shape or form be applied to "all men". I arrived at this by experience, making mistakes, learning from them, education, and realization. I was not always a good person. I will not always be a good person. I have made mistakes, and I will make more. The thing is I learn from them. 

- Does pineapple belong on pizza?

Yes, alongside ham or canadian bacon.
