    What was the last thing you cooked?

    Chicken chili. Even parts pinto, black, and red beans, cooked until tender. Meat of four drumsticks, boiled with adobo seasoning mix, and deboned. All combined with a little of the chicken broth, one can of tomato paste, canned tomatoes, okra, and corn, diced fresh celery, carrots, and onions...

    What video game are you currently playing?

    Just started playing Cuinsineer. Very cute little roguelite game with a lot of little fetch quests, and very appetizing looking food artwork. So far it seems very similar in concept to the old Recettear, or perhaps Moonlighter, but you run a restaurant instead of an item shop. Combat mechanics...

    Anyone here asexual?

    I think I'm somewhere in the asexual scale. I find people... appealing? But not exactly what you'd call "attractive" exactly? I'm actually way more likely to be interested by a person's sense of fashion and how they coordinate themself overall than by the person alone. Ironically, for all the...

    Vacuum cleaners! (and more)

    My wife likes the look of old upright vacs, so have found a few Kirbys in thrift store. I think maybe a Heritage and a Gen 3? I don't have them handy or I'd take a picture. Been thinking about tinkering with one, setting it up with a reusable dust bag, and seeing if it does a better job with cat...

    What Are You Afraid Of?

    Bodies of water, mostly because of drowning. Heights over... let's say 6ft. I'm not exactly afraid of spiders, but I jump / startle  very easily to touch, especially to light touch, like being tickled or when a bug or spider is crawling on me, and I am very scared of involuntarily squishing a...

    What did you have for breakfast ?

    Omelet, stuffed with a slice of cheese, lightly charred diced red peppers, and finely diced left over pork chop, served with a side of chunked potato, baked, a bit of guacamole, a tangerine, and a cup of decaf.

    Auditory hallucinations caused by noise

    I am fairly prone to some auditory hallucinations in general, and I also have "exploding head syndrome" now and then when going to sleep. I usually hear things like chickens, cats, random squeaking sounds, or whispering when the furnace is running in the house, or when I'm riding in a noisy...

    I love Winnie the Pooh.

    Going to preface this by saying I have no issues with IPs going public domain, even if not all of the subsequent usage is top-tier or maintains the same age-appropriateness of the original creation. Many classic movies and stories are "reskins" of even older movies and stories, and many classic...

    Halloween movies

    Trick 'r Treat (2007) A seasonally appropriate anthology film, with five segments connected by a little trick-or-treating demon who punishes people for breaking Halloween traditions (decent amount of dark comedy moments, pretty violent and gory at times) Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016) 2014's...

    The last thing you bought?

    Last thing I bought (that wasn't a necessity) was this guy: A "Gormongus" action figure from the "Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys" 90s cartoon series.

    Are Reboots/Remakes Ever Good?

    His Girl Friday (1940) was a remake of The Front Page (1931) which was itself a broadway play. While The Front Page was a good movie in its own right, it just can't match the visual quality, manic energy, and comedic timing of His Girl Friday

    Anyone got any unusual pets?

    Haven't seen any mention of terrestrial hermit crabs yet, so I guess they may count as unusual. I've had these two guys for about 8yrs. With decent care I could have them another 30 or so, depending on their age when I got them. They can live quite a while, but unfortunately proper care guides...

    Programming

    I started off messing around copying out of some code books for the Radioshack Color Computer when I was in kindergarten (usually needed help debugging, though). Eventually picked up C#, some Python, Java, various different flavors of web development as they came out (HTML4, XHTML, ASP, etc)...

    Unbiased Trans Information?

    Trans healthcare has been studied for decades, including many patients who received intervention early and continued well into adulthood. Puberty blockers have been in use for trans kids since the 90s (and were in use for cis kids before that). There are already plenty of people who have lived...

    Photo editing

    I'd probably try to work with an image like that if I took it. Granted, I'm not a professional, but imo it can still be rebalanced a bit and look quite nice. I usually don't do heavy edits on photos I take, just crop and color. As long as the exposure isn't too crushed or blown, I figure...
