Are you still or already awake? And more importantly, why?

Those are all good questions.

Next question. 😐

(tl;dr: Effed up sleeping schedule. I've been sleeping in two installments so I'm always both "still" and "already" awake.)

One of the most unintentionally hurtful random things someone ever said to me was when I was joking around about how I would date Dorian from Dragon Age, and they said "yeah but Dorian wouldn't date YOU because you're not a man." It's been about a decade and I occasionally think about that and whether it's really antithetical to identifying as "gay" to be attracted to NB people. Of course identity and terminology are up to each person to determine, but I'm curious about your thoughts, fellow queer! -L

What's the last book you've read? Do you have a favorite book?

Assuming a job is non-optional, and you already have whatever training or education you need, what job would you choose to do? What job do you think would make you the happiest?

What's up with orbs?

Do you like pranks?

In general, I would say no, I detest them. I equate "pranks" with douchebag frat boy jocks and asswipe "mean girls." They're physical/mental abuse and violations of trust and consent justified by a moronic "it's just a prank, bro" mentality.

However, I don't mind the idea of subtle trolling between loved ones or people you're comfortable with.

My basic rule is: "at the conclusion, is the person being pranked laughing or smiling, even if mildly annoyed?" If yes, then it's fine. It's a cliché but "laughing with them, not at them" still holds true.

It's a normal day at your house. You aren't expecting any visitors or deliveries. There is a knock at your door. You open it. What are you more surprised to find; a fairy? Or a walrus?

What the hell's a walrus doing here? 🤨 How the crap did it get here? It's not going to survive for long, there's no body of water in a 10 km radius and it's 114 °F. 😓

On the other hand, I deal with the Fae "fairy-ly" often. 😁

Um, which is very weird for me... a totally regular human mortal. 😅

As a basic-ass white guy, if I go to a Mexican restaurant, should I attempt to pronounce things that I order with my best attempt at the Spanish pronunciation, or should I just do the anglicised versions?

While Spanish-speakers usually will face-palm at Whitey feeling "international" for using the three words he remembers from high school and Dora the Explorer, and smugly going "hola" "por favor" "gracias" and the rest in super heavy 'MURICAN (don't be THAT guy) 😆 Nobody is going to slap you in disgust for not rolling your Rs or for not saying "MEH-hee-koh," don't worry.

I'd recommend just doing your best to learn how it's supposed to be pronounced and do an approximation. Anglicised is totally fine, as long as you're not goddamn Bob and Karen saying "tortiLa" "guacamoL" and "PoLo" 🤣

Choose your nerfed superpower:

Flight, but you can't get higher than two metres off the ground. Telekinesis, but your aim is always slightly off. Everything lands just short of you or flies slightly past you. Invisibility, but you can only be visible for a total of four hours per day. Extra set of limbs you have full control of, but they aren't human. Invulnerability, but you're also the clumsiest person in the world.

I mean, I'm already the derpiest potato in the world, so if I want to min-max this crap, the invulnerability option is just a strict upgrade.

You can't really soar too majestically at only two metres.

Now, not being noticed for 20 hours a day... sounds like a goddamn dream. (assuming that's not a typo and it's the invisibility that only lasts up to four hours per day)

Yeah, nah, I've always been partial to telekinesis. Let's go with that one.

You just got home from a long day at work, and you find that food of some description has been prepared and waiting for you.
What would be the nicest thing to find waiting for you? Could be a dinner or dessert or anything else you could imagine.

Honestly, it would be a couple of varieties of take-out but you said "prepared." 🤭

I'm restricting it to things you could actually make in my kitchen to make it more interesting and besides, I'm a simple girl with simple tastes.

Bacon cheeseburgers with a half a metric ton of fries. Fries are life. Fries are everything.

Honourable mention to my favourite kind of tostadas (fried tortillas with toppings) like Mum used to make me: first slather a bit mayo, then a layer of refried beans with chorizo (spiced pork sausage), red rice on top and finally ground beef with a red salsa.

A hamster in a big grey beard and pointy hat suddenly appears and transports you to a fantasy world for three months. You get to choose which one, but it needs to be from an existing book, movie, series or game. Which will you choose and why?

Dear Yuriel, I first found your content on kind.social just under a year ago and wanted to send you a letter to express my gratitude for your particular brand of humour which is helping me get through some dark times. Enclosed please find 1 (one) spider. PS: please forgive my poor handwriting.

Would you rather wake up at 5 pm or 5 am?

Easy. 5 AM, and it's not close.

The best work schedule I had was when I worked 5:30 AM to 1:30 PM . I loved getting off my shift and having the entire day still ahead of me. And it's not like I had to go to sleep at 8. I still went to sleep at like 10-12. 😆

Why does estrogen come in syringes but testosterone come in gel bottles?
(this is a prompt for a joke, just to be clear)

I dunno. Why DOES estrogen come in syringes but testosterone come in gel bottles? 🤔
