  • Do up/down votes matter?

    Jump

  • No real weight for the system I think. Theres a lot less people though, so if I see the same guy like 5 times in a row with -8 comments, I'm more inclined to think that person is a prick because thats how humans are built.

    Its not going to stop them posting or push them to the bottom by default or anything though.

  • At your age, what surprises you the most about yourself?

    Jump

  • I recently visited Blackpool Tower, which has a glass bottom bit near the top where you walk on glass and can see a massive, definitely lethal, drop underneath you. I was petrified to get on it, and could only walk on the glass by looking upwards.

    Until that moment I thought I was still brave. Im scared of heights but fear never really stopped me from doing much before. Ive avoided certainties out of pragmatic fear, but I'd never known myself to be scared of fear itself until that moment.

    Going to the glass and finding myself unable to walk onto it was very surprising. I even told my wife "huh, this is new..."

  • I dont think its really making fun of anyone, its just some semi-grounded absurdity.

  • Do you feel sad about the fact that you'll probably die within 100 years (or less) and you (well... that's most of us tbh) can't do much to leave a significant positive legacy?

    Jump

  • Pure anecdotally here, but as im getting older death seems more and more significant and possible and to be feared. Im only in my 30s but somewhere along the line i picked up a self-preservation instinct.

    As a kid/teen i was going to live forever. I couldn't die. The biggest fear was waking up in hospital but even that was farfetched to one as invincible as me.

    Nowadays though im perpetually aware that one slight misstep could bring me down skull first on a roadside kerb and it could be game over.

  • Yep. Im also terrified of actually dying. I want to die in my sleep so I dont see it coming, but I dont want to miss the experience of death because everyone gets it and you can only really do it once so it really is once in a lifetime experience. Except I wont have any life to remember the experience so it doesnt matter. And since it doesnt matter why do I want it. But what if it hurts?

  • Being British, and having met some ex soldiers, this is absolutely a believable story.

    Edit a day later : fuck you for posting this OP, I've had this shit stuck in my head all day.

  • British plugs

  • All these questions and more will be asked on the floor, clutching ones foot

  • British plugs

    Jump

  • But what about when you need to plug your hair dryer in and need to remove a lamps plug and it ends up on the floor and then you get a knock at the door and its your friend and you go out and forget all about it until you get home and completely fuck your own feet

  • good under-appreciated podcasts?

  • How would one go about finding other story-telling podcasts?

    Podcasting as a concept sort of slipped me by and I wouldn't even know where to start.

  • good under-appreciated podcasts?

    Jump

  • Not under appreciated at all, but the XFM shows (the Ricky Gervais show) are fantastic. Only mention because I'm not sure how popular/well-known it is globally.

    If its new to you, OP, give it a shot.

  • What show is weirdly or oddly cozy for you?

    Jump

  • Except the Ben saga and the whole Dr Cox breaks down bit.

    They are absolutely not for when youre feeling down.

  • How much money do you think those generic porn sites that just link to other porn sites make?

    Jump

  • Theyre getting worse as time goes on. Phones just work. You touch what you want and it works. Theres no need to learn how it works any more.

  • There's a thin line between charisma and manipulation

    Jump

  • I think so, but its the difference between terrorist and freedom fighter. Same thing really just depends who's side youre on.

  • So when that kid said "well I hate you infinity plus a million" he was on to something mathematically?

  • What game or platform has the best character creation setting?

    Jump

  • Not the best, but GaiaOnline has a soft spot in my memory.

  • Me too

    Jump

  • I've been to the theatre a few times with the wife to see some musicals. I literally have no fucking clue what's being said or sung. Its all just noise while people prance about on stage to me.

    I do enjoy it but I feel like a dog watching TV with its owner or something. I end up just watching everything else instead, watching for cues from the orchestra at the bottom, and seeing if I can see the stage hands and which pulleys work which props.
