I'd probably just wear what I normally do since I already have those clothes, but I'd look into buying those things the Arabs wear that look like dresses since they look comfortable. Women's dresses always have crinkles or other frills on them that I probably wouldn't like. I might just go out in my underwear if it's really hot, assuming public nudity is still taboo. Winter time I'd wear robes and shit over sweats since it doesn't rain much.

I'm thinking of using my food dehydrator to make tomato leather for sandwiches that I pack for lunch in order to replace fresh tomatoes since they are very moist and contribute to making the bread soggy if left for several hours in a closed and non breathable environment. Is this a good idea or comoletely idiotic?
>>656
Never have, don't see the point. They're such a pain in the neck to legally set up for a few seconds of light that are about as impressive as a screensaver, and there are much more impressive things if you're willing to go outside legality. Perhaps if I'd made them by hand or something I'd have some investment in the result.
>>658
Pen or pencil?
>>657
Pencil. It's more expressive and it's easily correctable. I almost never use pen.
>>659
I've been having trouble getting out of my house and going to work. The job is fine, I need the money, but instead of walking out the door I'll find myself doing things like pace back and forth trying to figure out why I'm pacing back and forth. Any advice?

See, it's such a nebulous term; each new would-be prophet of scientism has his own definition, it seems. As originally described, we've been there for some time now. But the more imaginative definitions, the one those preaching a gospel of "planetary civilization" and "technological singularity" would have us believe, I say absolutely not. These guys remind me of those guys who keep announcing new dates for the Second Coming... sorry, fellas, I want to live in a better world, too, but it doesn't just get dropped in our laps.
I hope I'm not the only one seeing how ludicrous it is to equate quantifiable figures for energy with "progress". We could expand data centers until we actually had to use planetary-scale energy (to ignore the definitions where all that has to be used on radio signals), but that's clearly not the transhuman robosocialist utopia these people are conjuring up (note that it's not those possibilities I'm specifically rejecting, only that human self-interests don't magically go away just because human needs are exceeded).
>>666
Are you the Boddhi?
>>677
Anything that has to do with helping out retards. For some reason, when I see retarded people, I get pretty heartbroken. Particularly downies. It may be because I imagine myself in the position of the parent or someone close to them. The idea of having a child that can't correctly function on its own is really sad to me, especially knowing that once I'm old/I die, there isn't really anyone to take care of it in the way I would be capable of. You love it even though it's broken. I don't really know why I feel so strongly about it. There isn't anyone suffering from any form of retardation in my family or even the family of anyone in my immediate social circle.

Do you refrigerate your tomatoes?

Of the main characters, it's obviously got to be Bocchi herself, although they're all strong contenders on the cuteness front. If we include minor characters then I would also seriously consider Yawara Kai and Oshie Teruyo. I couldn't possibly pick just one though; they're all the cutest in their own unique ways.
>>681
What is your favourite way of preparing eggs (i.e. hard-boiled, soft-boiled, scrambled, poached, etc.)?
>>688 I had to google senshi and found out that was Low Ki's old name, so I pick him.

I can't really say, it never much appealed to me either. It seems as though not just American humour but American media in general is mainly just sex, violence and poo. I'm quite sure there are exceptions but I can't name any high profile ones.
>>696
Approximately, how many real life friends do you have?
>>697
I actually adore a good pair of kneepits. The telltale crease marks of an extended kneepit are suggestive of a entirely bare pair of legs, and you'll only see their bent form in very few scenarios. Shoulderblades, meh, everyone's got them out.
>>699
Which is sexier: oboe or trombone? Please explain why in at least eleven words.
>>702
As the moon approaches hitting distance, it causes an extreme, violent tide that submerges the part of Earth closest to it. This in turn causes extreme, violent storms essentially worldwide. As such, depending on its trajectory and speed, there's a pretty high chance you'll drown or be killed by debris before the moon gets close enough. Assuming you find a way to survive that, though, and manage to make it to the designated location, the moon will certainly have accelerated to such a speed that you won't have time to process the sensation of the moon hitting your eye before your frail body is completely vaporized from the impact energy.
This is referred to as the Apocalypse.
>>704
How should I break the cycle of staying up late, getting up late, and sleeping through most of the day when businesses are open?
>>703
Going a day without sleep usually works for me. Stay up late, then when the sun rises take a shower, get out of the house and try to keep yourself occupied until evening. Keeping your body moving and staying out in the sunlight will help revert your biological clock.
>>705
What's the best place you've lived and why?
>>704
Probably the place I stayed in my second year of university. Positives:
Negatives:
>>706
Would you like a hug?
>>711
No, not really, because it is a misery to cohabitate with the people in my area, but I don't know of a better area to move to.
At night I dream of a big sea-worthy houseboat and a lifetime supply of mittens so I can at last drift away and spend my days cut off from my species but for a satellite internet connection.
>>713
Did you enjoy it?
>>718
I was speeding while drunk on a highway and missed an exit, I fucking smashed the break pedal trying to take it, but my car started spinning out of control. I hit the highway barrier and only manage to fuck up the front bumper, everything else, including myself, was ok. I use Uber to move around the city when drunk now.
>>720
What's the most wasted you've ever been?
>I once took too many xanax on a Friday night
used to do that pretty much every night
SVG sounds good in theory but it's annoying in a lot of ways. I do prefer PNG over JPG though. Adobe Flash was vector-based, and look how well that turned out. Not well at all. But aside from that, I don't really care that much about image formats.
If you're drawing, it makes more sense to use raster graphics because then you can do more complicated images that look like actual paintings instead of a couple of lines whose only advantage is that they look smooth when you zoom in on them. SVG makes sense for icons or some logos or graphs or something, but that's about it. But the solution to pixelated raster graphics is to draw super high-res and then downscale for whatever site you're uploading to. It's easy to start with a lower resolution when drawing, but I think it's better to have a resolution that's too high instead of too low.
>>721
How often do you get drunk?
>>721
I drink alcohol perhaps once every two weeks or so, but only one or two drinks, so I never get more than tipsy. I've only been properly drunk once. My neighbour threw a house party, and my bedroom was directly adjacent to the speakers, so, realising I had no hope of sleeping, I decided I may as well join them. I was slightly feverous, didn't know anyone there, and everyone else was about ten years older than me. I ended up just standing around aimlessly listening in on conversations I had nothing to add to, and drinking every so often. The party pretty much ended around 3am, when I went home, threw up, and collapsed into bed.
>>723
What is your favourite and least favourite part of your own body?
>>722
Favorite: my brain, unironically. Not in a I-think-I'm-smarter-than-everyone-else way, but because I'm glad I don't have any serious mental problems. Look at Terry Davis, for example. He's a genius programmer, but he is hopelessly schizophrenic.
Here's an image of a schizophrenic person's brain compared to a normal one:

Imagine basically having a big hole in your brain that makes your thoughts and behavior weird. No thanks!
Least favorite:
My ankle, because I injured it and it never fully healed.
>>724
What is something you do that you think nobody else does?
>>726
I love travel, but I hate airplanes. Airport security sucks. Jet lag sucks. At least they sometimes give you alcohol on the flight.
Someone once gave me HORRIBLE advice for dealing with jet lag. "Don't sleep before the trip, just stay up the night before and sleep on the plane!" But the economy seats were too tiny and uncomfortable (and the comfy ones are ridiculously expensive), and there was too much turbulence in order to sleep at all! So I was tired as fuck during a flight across the pacific ocean.
>>727
How many books have you read so far this year?
>>728 I don't know about plot, we're all familiar with the John Carmack quote about plot in a video game I think. But the best writing (subtle difference) of the games I've played was Fallout: New Vegas, I think. It's one of few RPGs where I was invested and immersed enough that I sincerely had trouble and angst doing something I wouldn't do IRL. Especially in the expansions, where each one is based on one central choice, I had trouble replaying it and doing the other choices.
>>731 If the only music you could listen to for the rest of your life was the collected works of one single artist, composer, band, etc, who/which would you pick? Off the record, my "favorite" and the one I picked when a friend posed me this question are different artists.
>>730,731 Croatia. I'm not actually watching the game, but I hope they win. Fuck France.
And Tchaikovsky. Not necessarily my favorite composer/musician of all times, but probably the one with the biggest catalog with the best ratio of things I like to things I don't.
>>732 Is it morally acceptable to lie to avoid hurting someone's feelings, in your opinion?
>>737
I don't have a favorite, but I do have a least favorite:

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
>>741 I did Visual Basic at school, then when I got a job at a games studio there were sometimes tiny code fixes I was able to do myself to save the programming team's time but I'm not much of a coder at all. When the company folded, I did wonder if I'd be able to take the code-base and make something cool out of the dead project but I have to much other stuff going on to really spare time to learn how to code. The idea I had was to make the player characters... made of constantly-generated water shaped like them, and they splash about.
>>743 Would you play a splashy fighting game where the fighters were made of water?
