Ask me anything!
Hekatombaion 26
I am trying to work less hard, in order to save my hands. (Manager is okay with this, but I apologized anyway.) However, I can't seem to work less fast. Therefore! To distract me from work!
(Tablet typing is not a problem like keyboard typing is a problem, I think. Different hand motions.)
Ask me anything! I can't think offhand of any topics I'm placing off limits, but if you hit one I'll decline to answer in full or at all as appropriate.
Hit me! :)

What is one animal you think is cool - that would make a very bad pet? Why?
Have you ever ridden a horse? If so, when, where, and what color was it?
Pretend you are a fruit farmer. You grow a fruit/vegetable beginning with the same letter as one of your names or nicknames (or handles). What is it?
If two stuffed animals living with the same person are having a lot of arguments, what advice would you give them on learning to get along?

I would say wolf, except evidence suggests I'd be wrong (see: dogs exist). Thus: tiger! (Princess Jasmine notwithstanding.) A tiger unafraid of humans, but still bitey, or even simply unaware of its size and ferocity, is a scary thought.
Nope.
Apple. Obviously. :) (applesauce nom!)
Hee hee heee. Uh. They both--both; this doesn't work if only one does it--need to think about what the other one is feeling, and why they're feeling that way, and what they personally could do (as well as what they want each other to do) to resolve the issue.

Yup.

I was gonna cut circle time short so we could catch up on math, but this share was too good and we had to talk about conflicts and feelings. The kids came up with: be on opposite sides of the bed (respect each other's space); do different things; play a game together so they can get along; apologize to each other; let each other know they'd be willing to apologize. I suggested that it's not easy when you fight with friends/family, but sometimes you need to think about what the other person needs instead of about winning. The kid who brought her conflicted stuffies to share insisted they'd fight, but she didn't seem happy about it. Poor kiddo. At least she's got friends in her class.

And many of my other kiddos too. *frustration* Can we make human society NOT SUCK PLEASE? kthxbai...
A further ask, if you feel like it: What interpersonal drama or inner conflict (your own or someone else's) would YOU stage with stuffed animals?
To answer my own question: Teddy Bear Pride Parade. So as to make LOTS of identities visible.

Can change? Yeah. Happens to most of us, I think. Can be changed? Not so sure...
Or rather, can be changed by someone not the person in question, not so sure. Can be changed by the person themselves? Probably, depending how much effort they put into backing up that choice.

I once asked the question, "Do you think someone can change so much that they are no longer the same person?" One of my college friends insisted for the longest time that "a person is the sum of ALL their experiences." Which is useful, but doesn't account for multiplicity or certain types of drastic change. My rule of thumb is, if you think it's the same person and they say they aren't, believe them. They might be a walk-in, or a twin, or you (okay, me) might just be THAT bad at names and faces.
Also, I bet NOBODY has the exact same pattern of reactions as when they were a toddler ... but certain broad definitions of personality or temperament (anxious, mellow, etc) might still apply. Or might not.
It's worth thinking about.

Tasty. Good on green salad and also in pasta sauce. Not for throwing.
I wish I had the link for that thread (or screencap) explained RPG stats in terms of tomatoes. Charisma: can sell a tomato-based fruit salad. Etc.

Six of one, half dozen the other. Automating things allows greater leisure time for the whole populace while still ensuring all the work gets done. (In theory. In practice the gains all go to the wealthiest one or two percent.) But it also devalues work done by hand and the products of labor, and reduces the percent of the population familiar with what earlier generations would consider basic life skills.
After all, why repair torn jeans when it's easier to buy a new pair than to learn how to sew a patch on the hole? It's not as though anyone put great effort or great time into making the jeans in the first place. And even when someone has put such time and effort into making the thing, say an afghan, well, blankets--with Superman or Disney Princess on, even!--that keep one just as warm can be had for less than the cost of the yarn for the afghan, never mind the labor.

Probably nothing good.
