| Sloths! Because they would talk so slow! Officer: "Chief a man was murdered the sloth is the only witness" Cheif: "TELL US WHAT YOU SAW!" Sloth: "I.... Saw.... A.... Man.... Stab.." *falls asleep* What is a guilty pleasure of yours? |
 |
| Mine would be online shopping so many times I shouldn't buy something... But I needdd it O.O What is the next thing you'll probably buy? |
|
| A Christmas present for someone! Not sure what though :3 SQ, this piggy asks good questions ^^ |
 |
| Probably coffee, only have 1 days worth left, next fun thing I'll buy will probably be one of those full desk sized mouse pads :3 How does your family celebrate Christmas, or your respective holiday? |
|
| By going to our grandparents' house!! (≧▽≦)/ SQ |
 We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| Going back to our parent's house. We always spend with family. SQ |

We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| Getting besotted with a spirit and indulging in sweet and salty snacks over a nice audiobook after midnight. Unfortunately, I almost always drift off in less than an hour or so, only to wake up several hours later, which is when I finally drag myself off to bed. Do you have a significant problem with noise? If so, how do you cope? |
Hayley_N_HaydetDec 7, 2018 11:46 PM
 |
| Yes I do, specially the high pitched noises or the unnecessary ones like meanless chatter. I cope up by entertaining myself like sleep or eavesdrop instead, but normally I wear my headphones and put them on full blast. A wonderful noise to cover bad ones. Same question, as we have different ways |
  ✿ King of the Night ✿ |
| I do when falling asleep. Hearing distant voices makes my ears perk up and keeps me from falling asleep. @head_hunter47 what? o.o What anime had the biggest impact on you and why? |
|
| One piece... as it helped me get through a really difficult part in life!! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ SQ @TheKidon I didn't know you had a nee-chan!! Does she tease you?!! Does she bully you?!! ψ( ` ∇ ´ )ψ |
We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| Super Robot Voltes V, I discovered that I am a robot nerd Of all the pasttimes invented, why anime? |
| ✿ King of the Night ✿ |
| Because: - I've always preferred animation over live-action - I have low tolerance for long videos, so 24 minutes episodes are far more attractive than the frequent hour long TV episodes or movies - It allows me to stay indoors =w= - Waifus >3> SQ |
|
| Hmm... tough one :s I wish the anime industry worked together to make lots of really great shows rather than one or two great ones each season and then the rest range from good to terrible >_< but of course, this is just not how the world works currently ^^' I also wish anime were more mainstream in the west (well it kind of is already, but I wish it were even more mainstream) :3 SQ |
|
| Not something that I've pondered deeply, but I'll bite. I dislike (“hate” may be too strong of a word here) how some shows have never gotten a second season, despite their high quality and even popularity. As for long-running shows, I don't particularly care for the abundance of filler episodes. Above all, it's regrettable that the workers in the industry (not just the voice actors and actresses) tend not to be paid very well. If tomorrow you were given the chance to explore the Solar System - and beyond - for the rest of your life, would you do so, even if it meant leaving behind everything you know and care about? |
|
| tough tough tough. I guess my answer is a 60% no same question |
 |
| Hmmm... it would depend on the rate of travel!! To me, the whole purpose of living is to not die as just another man!! I want to stand out, to make a name!! So this would be too good of an opportunity to pass!! But human life is too short, and if doing that means that I'll waste most of the just waiting in my transport... then that would be a waste too!! But then again... there's also cryotech, or other ways to preserve life... so sure... why not!! Sign me up!! (≧▽≦)/ SQ |
We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| Sanji makes a good point, it depends on the rate of travel :3 I don't wanna be doing it for the rest of my life without discovering a bunch of amazing things :< Would you want to know you're going to die beforehand, or die suddenly without warning? |
|
| I wouldn't mind knowing it same question |
|
| Both have advantages... but if I knew that I'm gonna die before I even reach 40... I would lose the taste of everything in life!! So yeah... I'd want to go on with life without knowing!! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ SQ |
We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| Withou warning works better, knowing when will you die will surely mess with your mind. Was there a person that changed you for the better? |
| ✿ King of the Night ✿ |
| mmm, yes but from my pov same question |
|
| For sure ^3^ Book or eBook? |
|
| Eh what's an ebook? Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑) Should I search? Aghh okay let me google (≖︿≖✿) Ahhh (≖︿≖✿) No no I prefer a book (≖︿≖✿) SQ let's see if I'm not the only one who would google that(≖︿≖✿)(≖︿≖✿) |
 |
| Ebook... since they're much easier to carry around, and yeah, a lot of books aren't available here, so at least this way I can read what I want!! @_@ Pffft... of course I knew what they are!! (ಡ艸ಡ) SQ |
We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| Book. They can be taken everywhere, don't require expensive electronic appliances to read, are much easier for my eyes and I can just walk into a library to get one. And no, I didn't need to google it. >:) What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "barbarian"? |
 |
| The ancient Greeks :D (Not because they were barbarians, but because they used that term in an ethnocentric sense to designate peoples outside of their own civilization.) A moment later and I might've answered with Conan the Barbarian. Would you be open to having humankind ruled by benevolent despots of another species, whether alien or AI (assuming that they would put a permanent end to most if not all environmental and geopolitical conflicts)? |
|
| It really depends on how these despots manage to do establish themselves as rulers and how do they achieve to end every conflict. If no mind control, strict laws or constant threats are in play in making the world a better place then it sounds like a good deal, especially if the depot is ruling voluntarily. What is something worthy of your death? |
   |
| saving a life I think it's worth it or fighting for basic human rights/justice same question |
|
| Same as Yokkun :3 SQ |
|
| Just one ^^ SQ |
|
| Hmmm.. not like that, but once we were out of tea leaves, so I opened a tea bag, and used it to make tea!! @_@ SQ |
We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| I tend to reuse tea bags at least once; it just feels like a waste when I don't. If you could be beamed to any location in the anime multiverse right now, where would you want to go? |
|
| Metafalss in the Ar Tonelico universe. The whole ar tonelico universe is just filled with awesome places tbh, Metafalss is just a fan favourite of mine especially after it literally becomes an utopia. If Ar Tonelico doesn't count as an anime, then the drawn city from Kyousou Giga is another interesting utopia. How can you be certain that what happened in the past isn't something that your mind just made up one day? |
|
| I'm not actually, I have different episodes I'm not sure about. But I guess that asking people about it lessens the doubt same question |
|
| I mean, I guess I can't, but I don't really think about it :3 SQ |
|
| Yeah... I've seen a lot of the people not remember how something happened, even though it happened recently, but they think it happened really differently... which makes me wonder... maybe I have some false memories like that too!! (O_O;) SQ |
We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| I doubt that there is a way to be certain about such a thing. While we can perhaps be generally confident about the broad strokes of our recollection of events, the details are another story. It's arguable that much if not most of our memories are not only malleable but also fictional, and in any case they're obviously nowhere near as accurate as the footage from a video camera. What's more, there's the inconvenient fact that as we move further away (temporally speaking) from a given event, the possibility of corruption and error increases. It may not be an exaggeration to say that the status of being an eyewitness is time-sensitive. From a Scientific American article on eyewitness testimony: Reconstructing Memories The uncritical acceptance of eyewitness accounts may stem from a popular misconception of how memory works. Many people believe that human memory works like a video recorder: the mind records events and then, on cue, plays back an exact replica of them. On the contrary, psychologists have found that memories are reconstructed rather than played back each time we recall them. The act of remembering, says eminent memory researcher and psychologist Elizabeth F. Loftus of the University of California, Irvine, is “more akin to putting puzzle pieces together than retrieving a video recording.” Even questioning by a lawyer can alter the witness’s testimony because fragments of the memory may unknowingly be combined with information provided by the questioner, leading to inaccurate recall. From Bertrand Russell: There is no logical impossibility in the hypothesis that the world sprang into being five minutes ago, exactly as it then was, with a population that "remembered" a wholly unreal past. There is no logically necessary connection between events at different times; therefore nothing that is happening now or will happen in the future can disprove the hypothesis that the world began five minutes ago. I think his reasoning is sound. There's also the age-old epistemological question of to what extent we can trust our senses (assuming we can trust them at all), blah blah blah. Which would you prefer (for the rest of your life or at least until typical retirement age): to spend all of your waking hours on a job that you love, or to spend half of your waking hours on a job that you hate? |

| Both choices really suck... but I know for a fact that I cannot psychologically do something that I dislike for an extended amount of time without losing all my patient and losing control, so the second choice is a big no no for me. Would it really matter if our life were fake, if reality were to not really be real? |
|
| To begin with, does anything actually "matter" outside of our personal and subjective universes? My take is that "value" (at least the kind that is not contingent on utility) is not an intrinsic property that stands on its own, but something that we superimpose rather than discover. As far as I'm concerned, life is little more than a protracted dream, not quite unreal but not quite real either. For me the reality (or lack thereof) of life largely lies in its ephemerality, and that's one of the things that I lament the most. Self-driving cars: yea or nay, and why? |
