  • What is the proudest you have ever been towards your significant other?

    Jump

  • our first child has turned a year old and it is amazing how my wife takes care of things with child in hand. I couldn’t be more proud at the mother shes become so far!

  • Have you ever cosplayed before? Can you tell us about any?

    Jump

  • i had a friend who cosplayed as ironman and to sort of help guide/handle him i cosplayed as a s.h.i.e.l.d agent. mainly walked in front of him and prevented people from touching him because he was on some stilts to appear larger. then helped with taking photos with fans. my cosplay was pretty easy. Just a suit and a laminated badge hehe

    I recently got my wife a sewing machine and cosplaying was a good creative avenue. She made a cosplay of Bulma from Dragonball. it was really cool and her own take given her skills. She wants to do another Bulma outfit but likely one from DBZ.

  • What's the one music album you would take on a desert island?

    Jump

  • maybe just a little more clarity, but now im second guessing myself. cant go wrong with either and im not sure why i called out the remaster specifically, maybe cuz it is just in my rotation a lot

  • Pretty Hate Machine Remastered - Nine Inch Nails

  • What are the scariest horror movies?

    Jump

  • so many recommendations already said and im sure many more to go.

    Three that i didnt see mentioned that i enjoyed were:

    Martyrs- French Version The Visit Session 9

    Scenes from martyrs have been memed out of context so i think its fairly familiar. i hadnt watched it until recently and i think one time through was good enough for me. i’m not into a lot of torture style suspense.

    The visit was particularly scary for me because If you’ve ever been in that scenario of being dropped off with familial strangers those initial reservations you have running through your head do make you uncomfortable and blossom into horrific thoughts. in the case of this movie a bit more so ;)

    Session 9 i watched during the golden age of netflix. it isnt amazing but it was enjoyable.

  • What is your favorite thing to put on fries that isnt ketchup?

    it isn’t a singular thing but i like Poutine. I think thats brown gravy and cheese curds.

    otherwise, mayo + sriracha is good 👍

  • Older people of lemmy what is some nuance sayings or typed on the net that you would like to have explained to you?

    Jump

  • same here! confused why a 2018 Russian groups pop song became popular in 2024, but i guess that’s the internet 🤷‍♂️

  • Be honest: have you ever lost your temper with a customer service rep? And did it ever help?

    Jump

  • Yep, but i felt really bad afterwards. Purchased tickets on American airlines on short notice due to the death of my wife’s close aunt. The trip had a connecting flight and our first flight got delayed by an hour (np plenty of layover time left). then when we land the plane taxied for over an hour giving us about 10 panicking minutes to make the connection, but if we ran we could make it.

    we didn’t, The terminal was much farther than expected. in the rush, my wife lost her ID, which added to further frustration. maintaining decent composure up until we go to the AA desk to schedule our alternative flight. The flight we were supposed to go on was the last flight for the day. and the next one wasn’t until next day evening.

    well that was not going to work because the funeral was in the morning. We asked if we could fly to another city (equidistant to rural home) but the clerk was really firm on that the flight had to be to my destination. after all, our bags made it there.

    that was what cocked the hammer back for me. I asked to speak with someone higher and they gave me a number, and boom i was pretty irked and very rude to the service rep who had the patience of a saint. She did get us on the soonest flight to the other city. My wife was crying with relief and i was sobbing my gratitude and apologizing for my behavior. the Service rep brushed it off like it was business as usual and tells me to have a nice flight.

    Aside from having to go purchase new clothes at 1am, we made it to the service a few hours later.

  • Now that you mention that… I feel like a bad boy breaking the law on my Motocompacto 😎. I am a threat to society as i bob and weave through both pedestrian and vehicle traffic at the high octane speed of 15mph signaling my presence with rings from my tiny bell. Only potholes and inclines of more than 10 degrees stand in my way. Once I reach my destination I instill psychological terror to those in the area, forcing them to determine if i just rode in on a suitcase or a white folding table.

    On the matter, i like/dislike lime and adjacent groups. i like they provide decent alternative transportation in urban environments, but dislike that they often clutter walkways, sometimes get ripped up and tossed about, or are abandoned into the local rivers.

    Pretty cool lookin though

  • People who are 1s and 2s on this scale, do you watch adult video?

    Jump

  • Not so much these days. I have a lot of neglected home projects that I need to get done. Can't imagine how 3 and 4s are handling things these days.

  • Crocs (The shoe, not the animal) 🐊

    Jump

  • simply amazing

  • Crocs (The shoe, not the animal) 🐊

    Jump

  • in the US i see them ranging from $20 to $50. however i am looking on Amazon and not their own website. at 50 I agree they would not be worth it

  • Crocs (The shoe, not the animal) 🐊

    Jump

  • I had some crocs for a time and they are just a firm foam clog. they are comfortable but i never felt that they were so comfortable to rave about.

    perfect for the summer and walking about. great for the garden as well. Just do not leave them in the sun. learning from experience they shrink, curl up, and become unusable.

    i don’t really like that original croc look, but i think at the moment it is a popular one to choose. i prefer their other styles.

    overall

    • a pretty cheap shoe option
    • moderately comfy in my opinion
    • easy to clean, just hose them down
    • comes in a variety of colors

    i don’t have really specific reasons to not get them other than preference of look/style.

  • Your first anime show/film

    Jump

  • dbz and pokemon as well but only when id catch it between other activities. Didn’t actually sit through an entire anime until high school where my friend borrowed me Cromartie High.

    First film was probably the first Pokémon film in theaters.

  • how can i get better at english?? i know how to speak in english and i fully understand it but there are a few problems i have

    Jump

  • check open discord communities for practicing languages. i know they are out there.

    Alternatively, look for english speaking discord communities that you identify with or share interests.

  • Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)?

    Jump

  • phone, wallet, garage door opener. All things as small as i could reasonably get them. my wallet holds (and can only accommodate) my drivers license, work badge, and a debit card.

    atm an iphone 14 pro. i used to use an android soap phone which was less than half the size, but sadly certain things didn’t work well on it :(

    If you count a backpack, i always carry one with my laptop, a current book I’m reading, a handheld game console, and a small med kit with various otc drugs and bandages.
