I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that's not important right now.

  • What is a 'social rule' that we all follow but nobody ever actually agreed to?

    Jump

  • Like how we all face the door in an elevator or feel the need to say ‘ope’ when we almost bump into someone. What’s a silent rule of society that you find hilarious or totally unnecessary?

    I look in the mirror when there is one.

    And when i bump into someone i go "SORRY IM SORRY IM SO SORRY IM SORRY AREYOUOKAY"

  • At what point does a person become an "adult"?

    Jump

  • I spiritually felt like an adult at 16, which was also the traditional age of majority here, but then i moved back in with my parents to do university and felt less and less like an adult

    I'm definitely more fond of the idea it's a different age for different people. I started puberty early and always felt other people my age were out of step with me - people like me physically and mentally become adults sooner than other people. (But we shouldn't try and use this in regards to consent laws or drinking age, of course)

    But the most important consideration is if you treat people well and do things on your own initiative.

  • Just make a will?

  • Lottery culture is insane now in my country, britain. I was raised to never engage in gambling but they now have lotteries you can enter for free and ones that your neighbours can enrol your neighbourhood in. In many ways, britain still tries to be capitalist HQ

  • If you had to pick the dystopia to live in, what would it be?

  • Oh yeah I forgot about that aspect 😅😮‍💨

  • It also doesn't melt! They just add it to the ice wall around the 'known world' or make ice cream from it

  • If you had to pick the dystopia to live in, what would it be?

    Jump

  • The Giver is a dystopia and it was still very chill.

    Also if I'm honest Divergent seemed pretty chill in the first book.

  • What do you think of homeschooling?

    Jump

  • I think it's a shitty thing to do long term unless your child has disabilities (in which case a school accomodating them is better).

    Send your kid where they choose to go, it'll probably be school where their friends are.

    I, already being pretty awkward as a child, cannot imagine trying to unlearn awkwardness after suddenly changing to public schooling. Might even have the opposite problem, showing too much energy when interacting with people i don't know well.

    Definitely DEFINITELY don't do it for primary (elementary) school age.

  • What are some foods that LOOK awful but TASTE great?

    Jump

  • Not to boast but i've never seen it with water at the bottom like this. Is this perhaps the outcome of layering the top with potato nuggets from the freezer rather than mashed potato?

  • That's interesting, and I agree. My parents didn't let me eat hamburgers until i was like 15 or 17 and they reinforced this idea that they were just magically really unhealthy because places like mcdonalds sold them (i also met other people kids who were given the same programming lol).

    They therefore looked pretty gross to me, and i remember at 11 y.o. telling my parents in disgust that I saw our neighbour eating a hamburger at lunch. It genuinely symbolised greed and disregsrd of health to me that much. I think that was probably the first time they realised they went overboard with the health programming.

    Hotdogs are undeniably quite gross-looking if they're the packet brought plastic-y stuff. But I LOVE THEM.

    As for curry - I didn't get offered it until I was 11 and it was a little hard to get past how it looked but luckily I was in the "I'm going to stop being a picky eater!" Phase. Nowadays the smell of food matters way more than the look, and curry is obviously perfect for that.

  • What was your oddest job experience?

    Jump

  • Was there anything you actually were allowed to do? What did the work day consist of?

  • What was your oddest job experience?

    Jump

  • The stupid thing is that they could create a position just for that, and tell them their job is to be fired. A new hire every day, don't waste time on the training. Or is there an employment watchdog who cracks down on these schemes?

  • So children can be fostered and still in contact with their biological parents?

  • If you could teach a college class, what would it be?

    Jump

  • Does it have to be something I'm good at?

    I often think about teaching middle school or high school instead (obviously college is safer, pays more and is maybe more fun) and when I do that I like the idea of language teaching, or science or maths.

    But hence I would be perfectly happy to give language classes or lectures in a university setting.

  • How is your personal email? name+lastname full or name+shortlantname? what would be the best?

    Jump

  • Is this common? I thought we were supposed to use FullNameNumber@Email.com for personal, and just avoid using it for any spammy stuff. Instead use it for Work and contacting real people

  • TIL spam (as refering to online unwanted communication) came from a Monty Python sketch.
