  • What's your LEAST favorite song

    Jump

  • I had never heard it before, but it sounds like a song that would play on some straight-to-dvd knockoff of a Disney movie with janky 3d animation, with the director's daughter playing and singing the lead role.

  • Yeah, I still can't hear "Cheek to Cheek" without getting residually wrecked.

  • What Dreams May Come is incredible in so many ways. It's incredibly beautiful, incredibly sad, and just hits everything so perfectly. It just hits on so many emotional points and uses in such artistry to convey it. I love it so much.

  • I was just thinking how much I hate that song. Not enough to automatically put it on the bottom, but it's close.

  • I feel the same about "Daughters" by John Mayer. That song sounds like my will to live gently sapping away.

  • I didn't have a solid answer to the question until I read this. Absolutely gets the worst response from me.

    First two chords and I'm like "nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

  • I'm usually honest but brief.

    "Hey, how are you?"

    "Tired. You?"

    Or:

    "Hey, how's it going?"

    "Ha ha. Ha... ha. grimace It's going. You?"

    "Yeah, about the same."

    Could North Korea covertly send nukes to another nation?

    Jump

  • Wait, wait...

    So war in Iran... helps Ukraine. But it also supports Israel. This is a little too complicated, I want bad guys and good (or at least less bad/powerful guys), not one bad guy causing problems for another bad guy which causes problems for another bad guy.

    Hey, Israel! If you want to just bomb the shit out of weapons manufacturing facilities in Iran and quit your shit in Gaza, I will support you and my government tossing money at you for that purpose.

  • If you could add any new rule to a sport or game you enjoy, what rule and why?

    Jump

  • I think a simple matter that if you roll around on the ground "in pain," you get removed for medical attention and for the rest of the game for monitoring. If you're injured, you're injuried. If you're being a whiny baby, you don't deserve to be in the game. If you're faking, you deserve to be ejected. But in all cases it comes to the same conclusion.

    Oh, and this doesn't automatically mean a foul. It's not like a person can't get hurt when no foul occurs. I hurt myself stepping out of bed in the morning.

    Razor bumps can now get you kicked out of the marines. Black men will likely suffer the most

    Jump

  • And to preempt an argument... "there's no study that says beards/razor bumps interfere with gas masks"... There are. Most of them say minimal beards/hair is fine (less than 1/16th of an inch) to get a mask seal, where 1/8 can already lead to issues. But it's understudied. The risk of getting it wrong is people's lives.

    I was coming in here to disagree with you, because I've heard this same thing, but I won't argue a point unless I check my sources first, and sure enough, you're correct (except maybe that stubble is fine). OSHA even states that tight-fitting respirators are not to be used by those with facial hair that extends past/across the seal. So one could argue that if wearing a gas mask is a requirement, anybody who has facial hair (other than a trimmed moustache) is unable to fulfill that requirement by OSHA rules alone.

  • What is a story in a song that would make a good movie?

    Jump

  • The Mariner's Revenge by The Decemberists

  • I'm here to polish balls and kill chaos... and I'm all out of chaos!

    Jump

  • I couldn't get into XV myself.

    But XIV... if you can get through the first 50 levels, it is truly incredibly. I get that is a huge ask. And skipping it is a bad idea, because it really builds the setting and story. Possibly watching a youtube video of, like, all the cut scenes in order maybe.

    But seriously, the end of Shadowbringers (the third expansion) is my favorite end to a video game I've played, the music is awesome (particularly in Shadowbringers and Endwalker, though I got to the end fight for Heavensward and had to just stop and listen to the music before I queued for the final battle as well).

    And more importantly, there is just a ton to do in the game. You don't run out of things. You might get bored of leveling all 33 jobs on a single toon, so you can take breaks to gamble at a giant mini-game casino (complete with chocobo racing, card tournaments, jump puzzles, a game where you ride in an airplane-on-a-track ride and shoot targets, and having your minions fight on a small battlefield, for example), make outfits (glam is the real end-game), fight and level in separate instanced battle areas, PVP (only if you want), set up your own private island and farm, and I can't even think of what else. There is no FOMO because there's always more available to do, you just pick what you feel like doing at the time.

    Sorry, I just have a ton of fun with this game, and having come from WoW back at the end of Shadowlands, it feels like it succeeds at everything WoW failed at (you don't want to do Mythic Dungeons? Well I guess fuck off until the next patch).

    So yeah, I'd recommend XIV, I guess. If you can get through the first 50 levels (which I maintain are still better than WoW).

  • Sen. Alex Padilla is forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference

    Jump

  • "Manhandling"?! That's not man-handling, that's assault. The Senator was assaulted. Chuck Schumer is such a spineless lick-spittle, even when it concerns the physical assault of those in his own Party.

  • What's something you once had a lot of respect for but now have no respect for?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm pretty torn. In my small community (on an island), housing and rent are insanely expensive, and also pretty scarce. There are people who have full time jobs living in tents in the woods or in their cars (in Alaska) not because they can't afford a place to stay, but because there are no places to rent.

    It's also a major tourist spot, and the population more than doubles regularly on days during the summer, and for those that fly in, the hotels book up quick. So there's a huge AirBnB market. Which means houses are getting bought up and then set up as AirBnBs instead of renting to residents, so housing becomes even more scarce. So I hate AirBnB.

    But.... I just bought a 4 bedroom house, where one of the beds is in a built in 1-bedroom apartment, with its own kitchen and everything. We wanted a 4bedroom house so we could have a guest room for people visiting, as well as just have extra space for us. Well, once I retire, one of our plans is to rent that out as an AirBnB during the times we don't have guests staying. It doesn't deplete housing in the area (we wouldn't be renting it out anyway), and it helps pay our ridiculous mortgage.

    So I hate it... but if it's used properly/ethically, I feel like it could be pretty good.

    What instruments have the most relaxing timbre to you?

    Jump

  • Tuba.

    Gotta have that sweet bass. Maybe some Flight if the Tuba Bee or Tuba Polka by Canadian Brass. Chef's kiss.

  • What was the strangest reason you got in trouble in school?

    Jump

  • Okay, look, as a parent, I can tell you you have to tread a fine line. If you don't "force feed" your kid (specifically, aren't allowed to leave the table or eat anything else), they'll end up eating nothing but chicken nuggets, fries, mac & cheese, and apples. That is not a balanced diet.

    However, forcing them to eat absolutely anything and everything is extreme, too. I don't like everything. I wouldn't want somebody to force me to eat mushrooms.

    So at any given meal, they can choose one and only one thing they don't like and don't have to eat. And I do try to avoid giving them things they obviously don't want to eat (not even going to try putting broccoli on their plate even though it's delicious).

    Plus it's a sliding scale: if I could get my 3-year-old to eat, and it wasn't junk food, I was happy. When he turned 5, he had to start expanding his food out a bit (turns out he's basically vegetarian except chicken nuggets, but he loves cucumber, carrots, salad, oranges, apples, etc because we made him eat them for a bit). Our 11-year-old, hoever, is expected to eat what we eat (minus spicy or overly spiced things, kids' palates are different), but can make small exceptions. If she's like "I don't like any of this," that doesn't fly, though.

    All that to say "Force feeding kids is so fucked up" is ignoring a lot of necessary nuance.

  • What's something about Microsoft Outlook that drives you crazy?

    Jump

  • OneDrive crashes not only the original computer I had the problem on, but the replacement computer that I got (upgrade) as well. Then when I moved to a different office, it crashed another computer and then created the same problem for the one other person using the computer.

    And by crashing, I mean the second it tries to do anything everything freezes, and the only way to get out of it is a hard reset.

    So OneDrive.

  • Is windows even an os anymore?

    Jump

  • One drive crashes every computer I work on. I thought it was just a problem with the computer I was using at the time, but my computer got upgraded to another, and it stopped for awhile and then the computer started crashing again.

    Then I moved offices, and my OneDrive seems to have infected the new one, since as soon as I started using it, the other person who uses it said it started crashing. And then it started crashing for me. And the other person figured out if he closes One Drive right at startup, there are no problems. I did the same, and no problems. But the second the computer automatically starts One Drive (like if I try to open anything from TEAMS), the whole computer crashes.

    One Drive is a goddamn plague.
