I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I’m going to troll you back. FAFO.

If you had to give one piece of advice that is pretty much universally applicable, what would it be?
I wouldn’t dare defile Douglas Adam’s memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:...
When did you get hit by "the tetris effect" AKA playing a video game so much that you get the urge to do moves/actions from the video game in real life?
When I got hooked on Morrowind in middle school it occurred to me to quicksave before a test at school....
What quotes from children's media went hard as hell for no reason?
What's your best unconventional "blessing" like when people tell an actor "break a leg!"
In inpatient psychiatry I tell my coworkers “I hope your shift is mind-numbingly boring” or something similar (keyword being boring) because in my line of work, interesting (usually) = bad....
The increasing distrust many Americans have in modern medical advances is probably mostly due to our failing Healthcare system.
It’s easy not to trust a system associated with charging you $500 for Tylenol. Much easier (and occasionally even safer) to just smell some lavender and hope that helps. Go to an ED and you could just die of a stroke or heart attack in the waiting room or even get run over by somebody who died of a heart attack while driving...
Most unique looking celebrities?
I’m working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It’s been helpful to study celebrity faces because it’s easy to find numerous reference photos. I’ve actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it’s been harder to find...
Would suction cups work in space?
You know like the kind that go on a window or bathroom mirror or on the wall or in the shower. They need the atmosphere pushing down on them to work, right?
What historical events prove humanity hasn't fundamentally changed in the last 10k years?
…but only one person gets to talk about ea nasir’s yelp ratings....
What vital task did you not realize someone was doing regularly until they suddenly stopped?
Could be a partner, roommate, coworker, or somebody you volunteered with. They could have stopped for any reason from leaving, getting sick or hurt or even dying to just getting sick of doing that one thing and stopping.

Who have you known that was extremely good at a job no one wants?
What's a decently fancy coffee that's still affordable and will be well received even by non-coffee snobs?
I have been making the occasional coworker a cup of aeropressed coffee with good reviews thus far. Being that it is shift work, most of my coworkers are used to drinking the reduced syrup of a pot that’s been left on the burner too long (one coworker thanked me for leaving it for her!). Many don’t even know coffee doesn’t...
What hobbies or volunteer work require creative problem solving from lots of different areas?
I’m a bit of a jack of all trades. When I work on a project I use anything from woodworking and sewing to chemistry and physics to human physiology and psychology. I also like reading up then chatting about random science and history and art stuff. I like working with computers occasionally, and I’ll just randomly throw some...

I feel like this is going to be impossible to guess but the image just turned out so nice I wanted to share it.
Well you're definitely a reddit clone now! (sh.itjust.works)
Complete with people private messaging people to try to be inflammatory!
Since I know you were all wondering...
Can we all agree to look up a local third party candidate and mention their name to someone you know who is also local?
I like ballotpedia.org but am very open to other resources or suggestions for how to get good info. Honestly half the reason I’m posting this is to start a solid thread of resources....
Anyone else find the decision to code Raava as femme and Vaatu as masc an interesting (although not necessarily bad) choice? (64.media.tumblr.com)
I’ve been doing a lot of reading into various spiritual concepts and practices from around the world and typically light/order/yang is masculine and dark/chaos/yin is usually feminine. Is there another concept that’s being referenced or is this just a minor but interesting artistic decision?...

They filled the relaxation room with spare patient mattresses so we slept on them.
We had a little separate room branching off the break room about the size of a powder room with just one table and one chair in it. It was so you could go cry or sleep or just not look at your coworkers on your break if you needed it....

Best advice columnists?
Like in the same vein as Ask Amy or Dear Prudence. I’m trying to get away from Best of Redditor Updates but I’m not ready to quit my “oh no she didn’t!” addiction just yet.

No clue what I’m going to to do for swords or pentacles though. Right now cups is “drinking glass” and I’ll probably use “pole” for wands. OFADE20k doesn’t have “knife”, OFCOCO doesn’t have “pole” and neither has “money!”
