Because people are weird, and stupid.

Perfection!! Thank you sir. *Hug from a stranger as well*
Sorry I started off with too much of a question. Just needed to get it out into the open I suppose. I do understand what you are saying about people not really wishing to be bothered by others. And that each person sort of has their own social circles whom they automatically trust, depending on each individual persons life, would influence how they handle new situations, or how much they initially trust someone.

Thank you for listening, take care, until I should have another wacky question for your all knowing wisdom.:)

All knowing wisdom? Psh, I wish.

But no problem. :) Always glad to make someone happier.

Why do I start my projects with full vigor and energy but soon I get bored and lose interest? What I have to do to keep myself motivated?

Buddy, if I knew that, I'd have several novels, several RPG systems, a wargame or two, and many other things under my belt.

Dear Red,
What should I have for lunch today?

[JNAProductions]

Dear Red,
What should I have for lunch today?

The blood of your enemies, served in their own skulls, with the holes filled in with their tanned skin.

Alternatively, sandwiches are always good.

Red! Blood and skin are just empty calories. You should always have some of the muscle meat for protein! Shame on you.

[lunaticfringe]

Multiverse or an Intelligently Designed Universe?

[JNAProductions]

Red! Blood and skin are just empty calories. You should always have some of the muscle meat for protein! Shame on you.

See, since I always just go for the meat immediately, I never have enough left over to make a proper meal. But a good points is raised here!

What's your favourite gaming system? Pathfinder, 3.5, 5e, world of darkness... =D

[neriractor]

Because people are weird, and stupid.

^ that´s pretty much the answer to anything concerning humans.


so, you said you write? have you ever made a complete novel or short story? and if so, can we see it?

Probably D&D 5E, but 3.P is great for its wealth of options. I've not played World of Darkness, though I've heard good things about it, and am interested in trying it if I can get my hands on it.

so, you said you write? have you ever made a complete novel or short story? and if so, can we see it?

Short stories? I made a few. They were real short (maybe three pages?) and unfortunately, I don't have them anymore.

Complete novel... Give me a moment to laugh my butt off. No, I've never managed to write anything even CLOSE to a novel. I wish I could, but I'm just bad at getting words down on paper for extended periods.

Hey Red,
Rhetorical question: you go to a normal supermarket with you usual groceries, when about to bag your groceries, the cashier asks you to choose a side the same way he does everyone: "Paper or plastic?"

--Which side would you choose and why, keeping true to your personal beliefs about the financial, environmental, and practical factors of different types of bags.
--how many bags of this type do you typically need for your routine shopping trips?
-- do you practice the use of reusable bags, recycling,carrying a spacious pack,or other means of reusable grocery storing when you go shopping?

Which side? I'd tell the bagger "Whichever is easier on you." See, I work at a grocery store, as a bagger (sometimes), and whenever people say that, it warms my heart a little. It shows they have some basic consideration of other people, which is a shockingly uncommon thing.

How many bags are needed? Last time I went grocery shopping, I needed no bags, because usually I'm buying a snack for my break. Plus, I still live at home with the parental units, and they handle most of the grocery shopping.

Very interesting perspective! As a cashier myself i too learned to show some respect to the retailers I buy things from.

Perhaps the underlying question is "Do you take interest in preserving the environment in any particular way? "

The questions was brought on by the fact the my country is a little late for the party but finally passed a law that plastic bags cost a token fee in supermarkets. Most people (myself included) take great efforts to avoid coughing up the local equivalent of 2.5 american pennies per plastic bag , which makes a big difference to the environment, albeit for all the wrong reasons.

[JNAProductions]

I do care. Nothing too major, but I turn lights off, recycle, do the little things that help.

Interestingly, most of the research I've read says paper bags are not actually more environmentally friendly. The thing to do is to bring your own bags. Or do what some of the co-ops do and repurpose the delivery boxes.

If you were a hotdog, and you were starving, would you eat yourself?

If I was a hotdog, I'd have no mouth to eat myself with.

Also no-not a hot dog fan. :P

[NRSASD]

Hey Red! What's one of your favorite game (tabletop/video/etc.) stories/moments you've participated in or witnessed firsthand?

P.S. As a former retail person who only recently escaped, I salute you and Prince Zahn. Stay strong, cause while it sucks in the short term, things will work out in the end so long as you keep trying to better your life.

And then you get the argument that since the cotton bag requires far more energy to produce and ship, it needs to be used a fair number of times to make up for the energy expenditure of one bag...And then it gets complicated.

As for the hot dog question, what about sausage?

Mm, sausage.

I'd totally eat myself if I was a sausage. (Tell Jor that, they'll laugh. :P)

[Jormengand]

laugh

That's a strange way to put "Be mildly bewildered".

[javurek]

will there be something after we die?

I don't think there's any way to answer that within board appropriate topics. Religion is off-limits.

Good way to put it, WarKitty.
