Upthread, I posted a poll about retirement .
I linked to this thread in IMHO, where it could be discussed.
I thought that ideally, the two would feed each other. The more people voted, the more they’d discuss; the more they discussed, the more they’d wonder where the current vote stood. I’m wondering how participants liked it (or not). I’m going to tempt fate and make the results a pie chart. Still, pie is a choice.
I like toggling between discussion and the poll
I mostly like discussion; I don’t keep checking the poll
I reply to the poll, ignore the discussion
Checking both would depend a lot on my interest in the topic
Pie, bacon, shiny or sparkly things

Did you know that when people are faced with four identical options they will most often pick option #3 ?
What’s on the menu at your house for St. Patrick’s day?
corned beef
potatos
cabbage
soda bread
another Irish favorite
none of the above, and I’m not Irish
none of the above, and I’m Irish
none of the above, and I’d like to nitpick about what does or doesn’t make me “Irish” for polling purposes
Did you know that corned beef isn’t actually a traditional Irish dish?
Yes, that’s why I don’t make it for St. Patrick’s Day
Yes, but I don’t care, I’m still making it
No, but now that I know I’m still gonna make it anyway
No, but now that I know maybe I’ll make shepherd’s pie or bangers and mash instead this year.
Have you thought about what you are going to buy Mean Mr. Mustard for his birthday this year? (Select as many choices as apply)
Who Mr. What??
Yes, already purchased and shipped
Yes, will purchase and ship so that it arrives on or before March 15
No, but thanks for reminding us!
No because it is illegal to ship stink bombs
No because I was very disappointed in the gift he bought me for my birthday
FUCK NO!
No because I don’t know if he prefers boxers or briefs
Yes, his MAGA cap will arrive any day now
Not yet, but I plan on baking him a bacon pie

The Confederacy’s civilian and military leaders were, after all,
Honorable men who were only defending their homeland from invasion
Slavery-defending scum unworthy of being featured on any public monuments today
Treasonous bastards responsible for the deaths of far too many loyal Americans
Well-meaning dupes who unwittingly served the Slave Power and all its evils

Do you think about your financial income in terms of per-year or per-month?
Per-year (ie, “I earn $72,000 a year”)
Per-month (ie, “I earn $6,000 per month”)
I’m Mike Tyson, I get paid $25,000 per second during boxing matches
Usually accesses the SDMB:
Via a phone most of the time
Via a computer (laptop or desktop) most of the time
Via a tablet most of the time
It is pretty evenly split between two or threee of these options
You have the power to send one person in your life to live on the isolated island of Niue , where they will like it well enough to make it their permanent home. You may or may not ever see them again. You send:
Nobody
Your SO
A neighbor
A friend or “friend”
A close family member
A co-worker
An acquaintance
The asshole who cut you off in traffic
