Let’s talk Mexican food! What’s your favorite tortilla-based item? Taco? Burrito? Quesadilla? Fajita?
Crunchy or soft?
Filled with what?
What’s one specific, concrete thing humans don’t have now that you would like to see us figure out while you’re still alive so you can say, “Hey, wow, look there, we figured that out!” (I think I’ll take the most blindingly obvious answer to this off the table, because otherwise everybody is gonna say, “Cure cancer.”)
It’s a really hot, humid, summer day. You’re sitting on your porch. If you don’t have a porch, imagine that you’re on A porch. A nice, wide porch. Maybe it’s got a swing. Yeah, you’re sitting on your porch swing, late afternoon, hot, humid, sunny. You’ve had a good day, and you’re holding a nice, cold glass of…what?
I saw this question on Twitter one week ago, and it intrigued me, so here it is. This goes to the very heart of who you are as a person, and who we are as a society.
Here it is:
When you’re in line at the grocery store, do you put the plastic separator on the belt after your last item? Or do you leave it for the next person in line to do it themselves?
RANTY UPDATE: Damn it, Google, would you PLEASE, for the LOVE of GOD, change the way Blogger’s comments moderation works so that if I accidentally click “Delete” instead of “Publish” — especially if I’ve selected multiple comments — I get asked a simple “Are you sure?” I swear, the Blogger “Delete Comment” button is the ONLY time, anywhere in the entire wonderful world of computers, that I know of where if you click “Delete” you aren’t prompted with a “Are you sure?” dialog so that if you DID click the wrong frakking button, you’re not completely screwed.
For those of you who commented earlier: Ayup, that means I accidentally deleted them all. My fault, but Blogger/Google could very easily implement a safety feature on this. Sorry, folks. Go ahead and resubmit if you see this.
What’s your ‘limit’ on social media sites? Not as in ‘How do you limit how personal you get’, but…what’s a prominent social media site that you know of but don’t use because you’re on enough already? I have a LinkedIn account, but I almost never use it (and in truth, I don’t even know what it’s for or why I should use it), and I just deleted an account on something called SchoolFeed because it wasn’t what I thought it was going to be and saw little use for what seemed like a Facebook-clone for people who attended the same school.
(And sorry for the lack of posting this week…downtime has been a bit tougher to come by than usual, and the novel comes first!)
