  • Those of you that have negative sentiments towards AI: What would you want to happen right now?

    Jump

  • That's what I'd like to see more of, too -- Use it to cure fucking cancer already. Make it free to the legit medical institutions, train doctors how to use it. I feel like we're sitting on a goldmine and all we're doing with it is stealing other people's intellectual property and making porn and shitty music.

    What do movies always get wrong about your job/hobby?

    Jump

  • Having served in the U.S. military, I cannot unsee the fact that movies and TV shows ALWAYS fuck something up with the character uniforms-- Army rank on Air Force cadets, upside-down rank, badges pinned on the wrong side, the character is a Sergeant Major but they're wearing Major rank, the character is wearing ribbons for wars they weren't even alive to have served in, and so on.

    USED to be Destiny, but after 10 years, I'm just done with it now

  • What's an important (in your opinion) skill too many people seem to lack?

    Jump

  • Basic cooking skills

    Reading comprehension

    Listening to someone speak without interrupting

    Remembering to let other people speak when having a conversation

  • What home-cooked meal do you frequently make and still enjoy?

    Jump

  • Chili Japanese chicken curry Beans and Greens

  • Lesbians, Gays and bisexuals, Do you look like someone you would have sex with?

    Jump

  • No, I like both men and women with dark hair/eyes/complexion and I look the complete opposite. I definitely have a type. Oddly, my brother, though straight, has the same preferences in women and he and I look alike.

  • What's your hot sauce of choice?

    Jump

  • Gochujang and Sriracha's version of chili garlic sauce

  • Do you use a meat thermometer?

    Jump

  • Yup, all the time, whether I'm cooking meat in the oven, on the grill, or on the stove top. They're so handy!

  • What's the worst "corporate speak/buzzwords" that you absolutely hate?

    Jump

  • Drill down

  • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

  • I bought a cheap espresso maker off Amazon. It's so cheap that nothing can be adjusted, not the pressure, the drip, the heat, nothing. Every single shot I pull from that thing tastes like burnt ass. I even invested in some nice expensive espresso beans, and no luck. The cheap machine is in fact a piece of crap. I should have known better.

  • Are there any social faux pas you fear?

    Jump

  • Passing out in public. I've done it 3 times, none of them because I was drunk, and let me tell you, that embarrassment lasts a lifetime. It hasn't happened in like 25 years, but if I feel even slightly off, I'll excuse myself and go find a quiet corner, because I would rather die there alone than be remembered as that person who fainted in public.

  • As a woman, I'll stay right here, thanks.

  • What is something that you're grateful for today?

    Jump

  • I'm grateful that they finally paved the shitty road that I frequently take! It was so full of potholes and filled potholes that then broke open and made bigger potholes. I've seen better-paved roads in 3rd-world countries. Now it is glorious!

  • What's a weird compliment you got?

    Jump

  • She's right. Cooked raisins are an abomination. You're a hero.

  • What are your go-to comfort foods?

    Jump

  • Maruchan chicken flavor Ramen (it's carby and full of sodium, I'm sorry).

  • If all your basic needs were met and you didn't have to work to get by, what would you do with your life?

    Jump

  • Volunteer at various non-profits. I am (sadly) one of those people that "need" to work in some capacity in order to fill fulfilled. I also need structure, which I'm not very good at building for myself. I need to be held accountable (such as being expected to show up to work at a certain time), and work has always helped me do that.

    I'm about to leave my current job with no back-up plan, and while my savings and partner will provide for me for the rest of the year, I'm kinda dreading not having structure. I'll probably volunteer somewhere.

  • What are some WFH jobs that you can learn the skills for online?

    Jump

  • Following, because I'm gonna be unemployed soon and am also in my 40s and trying to figure out a new path to work from home. There's several YouTube channels dedicated to talking about work from home jobs (not all tech-related), but I don't know how reliable/truthful they are. Lots of customer service roles (not my cup to tea, personally).
