Today's theme is Normal!

You can take this test to see how "Normal" you are, and also how radically left wing you are! LOL Please share the results if you feel like it, or do nothing at all, because it really doesn't matter!

@RickiTarr @mycotropic We are all here to defy traditional gender roles! We are an unrepresentative sample of society self-selected from among your followers!

@MishaVanMollusq @RickiTarr Maybe? I think the results definitely confirm why I have a hard time relating to most male behaviors or all-male environments. I'm just not wired (mostly because I rewired myself) like they are. I'd like to think Mr. Rogers would be hanging out in the same quadrant with me.

What are your true opinions and thoughts on marriage?

Just for fun, this is a photo from my wedding day (ignore the reflection of my phone lol) I was all of 21.

@RickiTarr Personally a big fan. I’ve been married for 26 years (to the same person!). Big opinions about it: it’s work. I think “success” in any marriage should be defined by the people in it.

Why are you like this?

@RickiTarr nature, nurture, comic books and too much religion during my formative years. If I had to guess.

I was the CTO at a now-defunct recruiting startup. We played with ML screening for YEARS and every time, we came to the conclusion that it will NEVER work because it’s training on capricious, biased decisions made by people. It just makes those decisions faster and more opaque. Please stop the madness. There are a TON of ways to make recruiting more efficient, but screening isn’t one of them.

Lots of debate about this, so I'm curious about the consensus.

Should children be allowed to act professionally, as in having a full time acting job in movie/TV/stage? Feel free to elaborate in the comments.

@stevegis_ssg @RickiTarr Put the spreadsheet down and go play in the dirt, Reginald!

@RickiTarr @stevegis_ssg Yeah, when you ask it that way, the obvious answer is no - but we've had child actors for SO long that it seems almost normal.

@RickiTarr International Waffle House of Pancakes swings with Del Taco Bell. All the other couples are scandalized. Ronald and Wendy CANNOT EVEN with them.

@RickiTarr An old school diner and an Indian buffet - they're just so comfy together, warm, cozy, loving. They just want everyone around them to be happy. Maybe a little too sentimental, but watch out, they can be spicy.

What is your favorite breakfast? What is the actual breakfast you usually eat?

kpl,

@RickiTarr Favorite: Scratch made chicken fried steak and eggs in an old school diner (I always ask if it comes frozen in a bag, if yes, skip). Daily: Coffee, coffee, coffee and more coffee.

Since I'm stuck inside again, tell me a podcast I should listen to.

There can be only one! You get one choice, don't give me a list of 5, I can't do it.

Give me an episode that you think best represents the podcast.

@RickiTarr Handsome! This episode is pretty representative of the show. It's funny and SUPER handsome! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stephen-colbert-asks-about-woo-woo-beliefs/id1702258458?i=1000638285001

I finished two books on the plane today: Victories Greater than Death by @charliejane and You Deserve a Tech Union by @beep. Reading them back to back has me thinking all kinds of revolutionary thoughts.

I started Emily Tesh's “Some Desperate Glory" yesterday while being allergy tested and it’s AMAZING. I'm only about a quarter of the way through it, but if you're a fan of @charliejane's Unstoppable series or @scalzi's Collapsing Empire or Old Man's War, you'll love it. It's stark, desperate and the character and world building are top notch. Can't wait to get back to it!

I’ve made this recipe several times, made a ton of substitutions when I didn’t have the right ingredients, and it’s always the most satisfying meal. Plus, instant pot so it’s all ready in less than an hour!
