Sure, I’ll pay someone to trim it. Just one of those irritating chores like pulling weeds.
Would you rather see a universally panned horror movie or a critically acclaimed romance movie?
I’m gonna go with the universally panned horror flick. At least I could riff on it MST3000 style.
Would you rather have tabloid reporters stalking you 24/7 the rest of your life or lose your left arm?
I’ll take the tabloid reporters
Would you rather travel for ten days to the east of where you currently are, or ten days to the west?
A ten day ocean cruise? No way. Ten days to the west, please.
Go without your computer or your bathroom (only using public ones) for 10 days?
I’ll use the public bathrooms (assuming I choose the bathroom). Won’t be that bad, i think.
Would you rather watch a video of Eric Clapton’s changing hair and clothing styles over the decades or watch a video on the evolution of Fox News gradually admitting over the years that climate change is not only real but caused in part by humans? (I heard it tonight with Tucker Carlson and John Stossel.)
Assuming neither of those videos is too long, I would watch either. But I’ll pick the Eric Clapton one, as it would be more entertaining and less distasteful than watching Fox News.
Would you rather watch Fox News for one hour or be kicked in the leg (not hard) by a toddler every 1 second for one hour?
That’s a lot of kicks. I guess I’ll go with Fox News, despite the risk of optical damage from rolling my eyes so much.
A five-minute meeting with Warren Buffett or Bill Gates?
Bill Gates. He knows more and is more sensible.
Someone offers you a coin toss (a real, un-tampered, normal, fair coin.) Heads, you win $10,000. Tails, you lose $2,000. One-time toss only.
Do you take the offer?
Hell no. a) I don’t trust someone to actually give me $10,000 if I win (as Judge Judy says: if it doesn’t make sense, it’s not true.) b) I would hate myself for wasting $2000 on something that isn’t 10 Broadway shows.
A pedant whose approval you need is requiring you to completely rewrite software that you just got working. Do you drink a lot of margaritas or sangria?
Well, that question went in an unexpected direction! I don’t particularly care for either, but I guess I like margaritas a little more.
Pen or pencil?
Pen. Pencil fades.
Live without heat or without air conditioning?
Live without heat. I’ve never gotten used to summer, even though I’ve lived in the SE all my life. I can always burn things.
Would you rather be on an airplane
between two arguing passengers
or
next to a screaming infant?
Infant, because I could probably charm him fairly quickly into being quiet (depending on his/her age). Two adult assholes likely not.
When someone forgets to post a hypothetical, do you just throw out another question to keep the thread alive, or let it die?
Keep the thread alive! Too much fun.
Be on the wrong but winning side, or right but losing side?
@##@%#$@#%*.
Latter, tho it depends on what the nature of the game is. Stick by my guns I say.
Be totally absent minded but happy, vs. never forgetful but unhappy?
I’m a mix of both actually. I’ll go with absent-minded + happy, because ignorance is bliss.
Would you rather be
great at math
or
an amazing writer?
Be a amazing righter. ; )
Would you rather be obsessed with cleanliness in a dirty dungeon or be obsessed with privacy in a totally glass house?
Gimme the glass house. Just about any abode is better than a dirty dungeon.
Have a cramped apartment and privacy, or a big, comfy glass house and none?
Not even a thought. I live in a cramped apartment and like my privacy.
Live in a cramped apartment in a 100 unit apartment building or a cramped apartment in a three family house?
