Questions and Answers

[Kenshi]

I choose the 3rd option, Chaos.

Public bathroom
Or
Just hold it in until home?

[Kalleth]

What an edgy response XD

I guess I'll pull a Kenshi and say find a quiet corner of the bush to relieve myself, rather than damaging either my bowels or my gag reflex with waiting or the literal shitholes.

Are superheroes representations of fascist power fantasies?

[Kenshi]

Perhaps nowadays they are, but when they first appeared, it was all about escaping the gritty world of reality and indulging in the giant world of fantasy, where good overcomes evil.

Muscle cars

Or

Foreign speedsters

[Carlyle]

It depends. If we're talking about appearance, I'd say muscle as they often still have that straight lined edge that I prefer over the much more, smoothed and curved appearance of more modern cars. But in every other aspect I tend to prefer foreign cars.

Sweetened or unsweetened tea? Feel free to give your thoughts on flavored vs. non-flavored (like Arnold Palmers) too.

[Kalleth]

The best kind of tea appeals to the drinker's palate. If they're drinking sweetened tea for its sweetness, chances are they're drinking the wrong kind of tea. Furthermore, nothing precludes someone who wants sweet notes in their tea from including dried fruits or other sweet components in their own blend. That being said, bitter tea can be equally desirable in its own right. As I pointed out in an earlier response, there are different flavour modifiers a person can use, but I'm a firm believer in the idea that you should start with a known quantity. You take the tea in its most basic form, and you add things to it as you go. But if you begin your tea journey with something another person has already changed and modified to suit their own sensibilities, you might be missing out entirely on the most exquisite or subtle notes that might appeal to you.

That's probably too many words about tea, all in all.

So uh, boxing or wrestling?

[Kenshi]

Pro Wrestling, not that WWE shit either, they lost their way from wrestling.
New Japan Pro Wrestling, for the simple reason....they Honor the sport.

Real meaty burger

Or

Fake, plant burger

[Carlyle]

Plant burger. Yeah, sure some plant burgers don't compare to actual burgers, but there's nothing wrong with them (plus plant burgers are better for the environment!). And even if you're all like, "it's fake meat!", then there's always options like a bean burger instead. I had these vegetarian spicy black bean burgers not that long ago and they were great.

Star Wars or Star Trek?

[Kenshi]

Star wars, although I like the original trek.

Exotic pet

Or

Creepy pet

[Kalleth]

Creepy pet. It's better to have a spooky boi than a potentially illegal / endangered boi.

Edit: forgot to ask a question.

Given two years to make as many changes as possible to a given country without any sort of resistance, how would you improve the world?

[SleepingSilence]

Hmm. I'm too much of a realist (or perhaps a pessimist) to think that two years is ample time to do much of anything to "fix any country". Let alone the whole world in the process. So I'm at a bit of a loss. (Especially, considering that I would need to change the people's hearts and minds in that time. To maintain whatever changes that I'm capable of producing.)

So I guess I won't commit the crime of Americentrism, and just go with something I know that *anyone* in this position could do, if they actually wanted to help the vast majority of people.

That answer being: Cut government spending and individual's taxes unilaterally. Because even two years of that, is far better than nothing or the total inverse of that. And because, sometimes, I think its better to assume that you alone don't know more than everybody else. So perhaps, less reasons for direct involvement and needs to have no resistance to progress, is key to helping others. But that's just my two cents.

What was the last piece of advice that you had taken to heart, and used to improve yourself or your situation? Or, at least, who was the last person to give you some good or necessary advice in life?

[Kenshi]

God

Ice cream

Or

Yogurt

[Kalleth]

Ice Cream, though I suppose the Marie Antoinette answer would have to be yogurt since froyo is basically ice cream anyway.

Forest or field?

[Metal Head]

Forest, I love trees.

City life or country life

[Kalleth]

Country life, as long as it's not too far from the city.

You're trapped in a fictional world you know inside and out. Is it a fantasy world, or a sci-fi world?

[Metal Head]

Fantasy, I've played D&D all my life, so I think I could survive that world.
