“Something else.” I didn’t know that was an option on my cell phone, but even though I do now, I don’t care. I don’t see that as quite the same thing as “Why would I want to?”
I have the feature, I knew it was there, but voted why would I want to. At any given point in time, I’m the thing in the house/outside/anywhere I least want a picture of! I’m an overweight middle-aged male, who needs to see that? I see myself every day in the mirror, thank you, that’s enough.
I didn’t know it was an option (actually I guess I was vaguely aware it existed, but I didn’t remember until just now, so close enough). But I do see why you would want to. Years ago I was attempting to take a passport photo of myself with my my phone (technically it was for a tourist visa, but they required a passport style photo). The app I was using required you to line up your face within an oval on the screen, which was a lot harder than it sounds, because when you don’t have the camera in mirror reverse mode you have to move the phone the opposite way you think you do, because we’re so used to seeing our faces in mirrors.
Zoom and some of the other video conferencing apps let you choose mirrored or not for viewing yourself. I played with it once, and since then I’ve just used the default.
My display is set for mirror image, but the resulting picture is true image.
I am the peasant in the far corner of the kingdom of selfies; IOW, I’m about as far away from the King of selfies as you can get.
Okay, maybe not the farthest corner of the kingdom, I do have a smartphone with both front & rear facing cameras.
Rewards for lost pets? If they insist. But I wouldnt ask for it.
I did take a plate of cookies - and once a bottle of booze- those are less problematic than cash, imho.
I have never had a single ounce of coffee, and its one of many things that my fellow humans do (ingest) that I simply don’t get, at all. In my specific case too much caffeine can cause my heart rhythm to go out of whack so even if I liked the stuff I can’t imbibe it anyway (decaf seems even more pointless).
Well, if you tried it, and like it, you’d know why people drink it. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, too, as there are many who try things and end up not liking it. But, hey, at least they tried it to find out what it’s all about.
If you don’t like the smell of coffee, you aren’t going to like the taste.
I’ve always liked coffee. I loved the smell of my parents’ coffee, i loved coffee ice cream (and the brand i had as a kid had almost no caffeine, I’ve looked it up), and i looked some weird coffee-flavored hard candies we sometime had.
I don’t usually drink it, for boring reasons. But i really enjoy good coffee. My son won’t touch the stuff.
I like the smell of coffee. I never liked the taste. In the Army when I’ve been cold and tired I have forced some down but I haven’t even tried in years. I do drink a lot of tea.having a cup right now. My wife drinks strong black coffee. I have learned to make it to her specifications.
Switching to pour-over coffee has increased my appreciation for the smell of coffee, particularly the part where I grind the beans right before brewing. The ritual, and that smell, do add to my enjoyment of the actual coffee.
Same. The same ritual with the same sensory pleasure. Altho I am doing French press these days.
I listen to 4 or 5 podcasts a week, so I went with “quit a bit.” All the time implied every day to me.
I’d return the lost creature, of course, whether there was a reward or not. If they offered me one, I’d ask whether they were sure they could afford it. But if they said yes I’d take it, I’m broke. If I had lots of money, then I wouldn’t take it even if I thought they could afford it.
So it depends.
Coffee is an acquired taste, at least for most people. There are millions of things in the world that one could taste, including a lot of other things that take practice to like. Nobody’s required to try to acquire all of those tastes.
And if you do like the smell of coffee, you still might not like the taste.
That’s true. But if you like the smell of coffee, i think it’s worth trying some good coffee to see if you enjoy that, too. If you don’t like the smell of coffee, i think your best bet is to just avoid ingesting it.
Right. But if someone’s going to poo-poo something, they should expect to be asked if they’ve ever tried it.
The best coffee I’ve had has been pour-over.
I used to listen to several comedy podcasts. It’s what would be on when I’m driving. I also listen when I’m at the gym. I never listen at home. But know I’m retired and don’t drive as much. I’m sidelined with some back issues so I don’t go to the gym. So now it’s rarely.
“Keeping up with the Joneses” is one of those facts I relearn every couple of years, so I picked “Something else.”
