Once Retrospring.net shuts down, I plan to migrate to Fragsturztaube.

If you're moving there too, feel free to follow me, but don't expect me to answer questions in a timely manner yet. I do not intend to be fully active on here until the OG Retrospring shuts down. My limit for how much social media I can handle is low so I don't intend to be on two instances at once!

I might put up a page somewhere on one of my websites to include some of the long answers I posted on Retrospring.net, so they don't disappear after it dies.

No, and I don't think I would be able to cope with acting like I want to be there and smiling at everyone all day. NPC jobs are hell.

Always! hugs

Yes, and that's the only religious act that I ever went through.

Talking to a stranger, having to bother someone who works in retail and already has enough on their plate, maybe getting questions that I will probably not have answers to like what kind of flowers does this person like, etc.

The only time I ever did that was when my mom took some from the garden and asked me to give them to my teacher back when I was in elementary school. I guess giving people flowers would be nice, but I know nothing about flowers and asking someone at a flower shop is scary lol.

I do not do cute things for myself, or at least not because they are cute. I only do this to act cute in front of people I'm close to if I know they like it.

Plenty. The things with the most impact on my life are the things that I am the most afraid of because they mostly are unknown things, risky things, and I lack the necessary IRL support to deal with any trouble with them. There are tons of things that I am putting off, and I instead focus on smaller things that are more in my control like doing the bare minimum to be able to work every day or writing in a notebook. I would rather not discuss them in detail because they are both private and thinking about them is a surefire way to get tons of anxiety.

Is this another CTF? I had replied to this last year.

I don't think humans are in a position to really judge whether what other species do is good or bad, considering that we don't actually understand any of them well, or know what their real impact on the world really is until they disappear. But I certainly don't trust cats.

I don't have any comfortable position when sitting down on the floor. Having my legs straight in front of me will hurt my back and will cut blood circulation to my legs. I am definitely not supple so I can't sit cross-legged comfortably, and because I have knee issues, being on my knees for too long will have dire consequences. I just switch between various positions and hope that I will not have to sit for long…

I don't do functional programming but my code does function most of the time, and I try to keep it elegant. I defined most of the best practices on my project at work and those do try to keep the code simple and elegant, to make it fit with the rest of the codebase and with the libraries we use, as that reduces bugs.

I think the last time I held anyone's hand was my mom as a child. I guess if I had someone I somehow felt comfortable enough with to hold their hand and that would be willing to hold mine, then yeah I might do that, that sounds cute.

No, probably more frustrated. We got strongly encouraged to use either Emacs or Vim during my last year of classes, and I tried Emacs first, then gave up and switched to Vim after learning it through vimtutor on tilde.town. Now I'm used to Vim and I don't have any reasons to want to switch. Even if Emacs happened to be objectively better, I would still use Vim because it gets the job done well and switching would take too much effort.

A whole bunch of headpats, because I can't help it she's so cute, and 1 (one) giant reese's cup, one that fills most of the bucket. Also another regular sized cup into her open mouth :3

I don't know why they would do this but it's funny.
