I hate it when people on social media, dare ask questions when you know they’re fishing for personal information/ammo on people to exploit. Like asking for people’s dark secrets. Why do you want to know? Is there a fetish to this? Nobody is going to be dead serious, they’re just going to give softball answers and why should they trust you, random stranger online?

And I hate money-based questions. Unless I am given a large sum of money or if any of the money scenarios where I am given money comes true, I’m not going to answer these questions because I’m tired of fantasizing about something that will never likely happen in my life. You ask what I’d do with $10,000? Give it to me and I’ll show you. Otherwise, don’t ask.

    “What’s your name?”

    Are you a wizard? Are to trying to summon and bind me?

    “How was your day?”

    Dude, that was so long ago, how could it be important now? It’s already over.

    “What do you want for dinner?”

    While for a while I just always said “fajitas”, this one is a thorny one. I am psychologically incapable of separating the question “what do you want to eat?” from “what do you want to cook?” and thus my reply will either be rooted in anxiety or exhaustion.

    Why doesn’t anyone ever ask the interesting questions, like “What’s your opinion of the designated hitter rule?” or “Which has done more harm to human ethical progress, dualism or tribalism?”

        Well, I grew up rooting for American League teams, so I have a nostalgic fondness for it.

        I can see the arguments for it: It makes the game more exciting, it allows the pitcher to specialize, it lowers the risk of injury to the most valuable players.

        But I think dropping it for interleague play is the right call, and now that I’ve moved east and found some National League teams to support, I gotta say I like the pace better. I think it’s a more interesting game, strategically, when the need for a specialized pitched must be balanced against a weak point in the batting roster. And the game shouldn’t just be about home runs, anyway.

        So, on final analysis, I think I have preference against it, but I still understand where it comes from.
