  • What are the most upbeat songs with kind of depressing lyrics?

    Jump

  • I don't speak a lick of French (I know enough Spanish to recognize some words if they are slightly similar, but that's it) but still enjoy Stromae, although I've never found his music to be upbeat. I think, especially in Papaoutai, you can hear the struggle and sadness in the tone of the song and in his voice.

  • I need a healthy alternative to egg and bacon(nitrates) sandwiches. whats your daily lunch?

    Jump

  • The eggs aren't your problem, the bacon is. Dunno if they sell these where you live, but these Chicken Breakfast Sausages have no nitrates. This company makes chicken bacon also. You can also add some veggies to your eggs like peppers, onions, spinach, or kale. You can also try making a Pepper & Egg sandwich.

  • Your username is now public and hereditary like a surname. How much do your kids hate you?

    Jump

  • I don't have kids, but I imagine they'd be pissed to have to write out such a long name: Jennifer Grasshopper_Mouse? That shit would go aaaaall the way across the page.

    What are your favorite Borat-isms?

    Jump

  • "Is life? No, is Demorez" written on the DVD of the first Borat movie.

  • Americans who live near state borders,how do you notice you've crossed the border?

    Jump

  • Most major roads have a sign. If I'm using Google Maps, it will yell at me: "WELCOME TO [STATE NAME]".

    Cooking at home vs eating out vs delivery: what’s your situation?

    Jump

  • My partner and I are mid-40s, and our meals go like this:

    1. Cooking at home
    2. Delivery
    3. Pick-up/take-away that we pick up from the place ourselves and then eat at home
    4. Eat out at restaurant

    Reason being for all this:

    I enjoy cooking

    Partner and I both have no issue eating the same thing for dinner ever day for a week or more, so I make a huge portion and then we eat it for an entire week/until it's totally gone

    Delivery costs are expensive, even before tip

    Partner and I both have dietary restrictions that make ordering from somewhere difficult when they're not clear about what ingredients they're using

    We save a ton of money by cooking at home

  • What's the weirdest thing you're upset about?

    Jump

  • Omg, the resealable bags that don't reseal INFURIATE me.

  • What is your favourite pickle?

    Jump

  • Hell yeah, gherkin is where it's at.

  • Do you feel sad for people born today?

    Jump

  • I mean, I made a conscious decision not to have children, so...

  • What's a process where you prefer the old way of doing things instead of how it's done now?

    Jump

  • In the 90s, I felt like I knew so much about computers, both the hardware and the software, but I've definitely fallen off from all the improvements in the past 20 years, and I'm so Goddamn lost now. I miss those simpler times when it was more about the physical aspects of a PC and less about the technical aspects.

  • Lemmings who write but never share your writings: How is it going?

    Jump

  • I write fanfiction and have a modest 250+ following. I never thought it would amount to much, but it's been several years, and my followers are invested enough at this point that I keep going.

  • How would one confirm that the ashes in the urn are from who their supposed to be?

    Jump

  • What is the scariest shit you can think of?

    Jump

  • Becoming a quadriplegic or suffering from "locked in" syndrome, where I can no longer move anything myself, cannot feed myself or use the toilet, etc, just laying there, 100% dependent on other people for everything. I'd rather be dead, thanks.

  • What's a process where you prefer the old way of doing things instead of how it's done now?

    Jump

  • One of the many reasons I'll hang onto my 2012 Toyota Corolla until I drive it into the ground. It has a touch screen for just the radio and Bluetooth, but it must be some sort of gen one prototype because it's pretty awful. Thankfully, everything else is tactile. I can't imagine giving it up.

  • [AFRICA] Who is your favourite African author?

    Jump

  • Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

    Binti series by Nnedi Okorafor

  • Do you remember what the first kind of alcohol you drank was?

  • I'm a "Xennial" (born on the cusp in X and Millennial). I quit smoking cigarettes 14 years ago and haven't touched one since. I used to drink like a fish, but have cut way back just in the past 2 years or so. With all the articles coming out about how even more than 1 drink a day is bad for you, I suppose I should quit that as well, but alcohol makes fun times even more fun for me, and that's not something I'm ready to give up forever just yet. I'm healthy, go to the gym 3 times a week, excellent bloodwork, etc, so I don't feel the need to give it up 100%.
