      I know that people really like mustard so I don’t have any particular problem with it, but I myself do not enjoy mustard so no. Just a preference

              I don’t usually lead with that because I feel like people carry a lot of judgement when it comes to young marriages, so I usually just start with something else and let people get to know me before they can form those judgements.

        Have you tried much of the mustard spectrum? There’s all sorts beyond the standard yellow. Sweet, spicy, savory, smokey, smooth, chunky, combinations, the list really goes on. Mustard is incredibly diverse.

          I’ve had dijon mustard and liked that much more, but outside of that and just plain yellow i haven’t had any really. I’m kind of scared to honestly. It’s because when i was a kid once I went to the bathroom in a mcdonalds and some kids pulled my straw out of my drink and put it in a mustard packet before putting it back. Mustard trauma.

            Totally understandable reaction, that would be awful. A really solid choice, in my opinion, for BBQ is Carolina Mustard if you decide to try the various styles. Even in the Dijon style there’s bold, smokey, honey, sweet n spicy. There are other whole mustard seed varieties used as cracker toppings too. It’s pretty wild thinking about it actually.

    What advice (uplifting or real-shit depressing) would you give to someone who just turned 18?

      I feel like my life didn’t really amount to much until I started just doing things rather than thinking about them. Keep track of every idea you have, every time you think “maybe I should try that” or “hmm that seems interesting” and then refer back to it whenever you’re bored. If you ever find yourself doom scrolling or anything like that that’s unproductive refer back to that and give something a go. It’s worth trying.

        Well said. I’m 34, totally agree. I would also add to stick with something difficult and get over the initial learning curve. I learned how to longboard in college because my best friend was a natural skater, I was terrible at it starting out, but 16 years later I longboard around the neighborhood when the weather is nice. I have a couple scars from my mistakes, but years later 34 year old me doesn’t regret 18-22 year old me doing that at all.

      When I was very young (like 4 years old) I was insistent that the game “Parcheesi” was pronounced “Par Chess Ee” and my family will never let me forget that

      No OP, but the question is flawed. Both can’t exist in the same universe according to the standard definition, unless you made a custom definition which would decide whether it can or not.

        I know it is a known paradoxical question lol. But it is interesting to hear those who try to answer. I asked ChatGPT this to see if it could eventually give me something but it just kept regurgitating references to the paradox.

      I think I’m lacking actual ways to answer this but if I had to guess I feel like they’d just cancel each other out and just disappear

      Nobody has yet! I’ve only been getting into Linux quite recently, I have a Microsoft surface laptop studio that I’d like to put Linux Mint on, but I’ve been a little scared of pulling the trigger so I haven’t yet :(. I did just get an old desktop pc from my dad because he replaced it, I was gonna put Mint on that but it was having some kind of issue with the bios, I ended up putting Kubuntu on it.

        But jokes aside, it’s cool that you are trying to make the jump, just stay on Ubuntu until you are familiar enough with Linux to make another jump to a better distro.

    what was, if any, your first fictional childhood crush?
    what phone do you have?
    pancakes or waffles? Chicken nuggets or tenders?
    What’s your favorite game?
    Do you like the color green? what about light green?
    What time is it?
    Do you think ghosts are real?
    Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
    Why would you best match this position?

      I don’t really remember my first fictional childhood crush I have an iPhone 13 I think that pancakes when done right are the far superior option, but people don’t often do them right so waffles feel safer most of the time Tenders all the way I think my favorite game is either Baldurs Gate 3, RDR2, or Hollow Knight. If I’m thinking back real far then Sonic Adventure 2 is a contender too, I played that a lot as a kid Green is great! I prefer a dark, earthier green but light green isn’t bad. It is 1:07 AM as I am writing this. I definitely think ghosts are real. In 5 years I hope I have 1 or 2 kids, and a nice stable job to provide for them and my wife, living in a cute little house somewhere in the eastern United States I think I’m the best match cuz I’m awesome 😎
