If I were if fact a dog… I would consider it. However, I will need to pass. My sincerest apologies.

Cheese!! Sure, this counts… if you want to be an AI, who am I to say no 🙂

Sure, it could be seen as an elevator pitch type question. Some of my thought process was to get away from one to one questions.

Meaning… I ask are you an introvert, they respond and say “how ‘bout you”? I thought (originally) this might be a different take, to allow them the opportunity to throw something out there or free form an answer. If that makes sense… I’m getting tired ha!

However, it feels more and more like this wouldn’t be a good question.

I also appreciate you providing your description. It’s always interesting to see how people see themselves versus how others see them.

Thank you so much!!

Glad I could help nudge you along this week!

Thank you for responding!

☹️ I would never ask someone to do something they didn’t want to do.

I also understand that introspection can be a difficult thing. That may be why I can’t really answer this myself.

You aren’t alone.

Thank you so much sharing too, it actually brings up a point that, the person I met may not feel comfortable responding.

Interesting, I didn’t even think someone would do a literal description… from a physical perspective.

I already know they look like but, yeah, more context is always a good thing.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond!!

True, true, I’m leaning toward not using that question in future conversation.

I appreciate you providing perspective. I was hoping folks from the collective would have different responses / thoughts on this.

[–] randomcruft@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 23 hours ago

Now this is fun response!! Others have commented that my question would be to “ick” for lack of better term.

Your answer was another perspective I thought of for this. Light hearted and fun. The person I met seems to have a great sense of humor.

Thank you so much for sharing!!

I recently meet someone and was going to ask them to describe themselves in a paragraph. I realized I wasn’t able to do it myself. I also wasn’t sure how they would react. I thought I would ask here first and see how you folks react.

I’ll define paragraph as three to four sentences.

Don’t forget Panama…

There’s also the Sevendust version from Southside Double-wide Acoustic Live… just to stir the pot a little more 🙂

This was funny and disturbing at the same time… thanks for the link 🙂

Just a suggestion but take a look at this list… all of them should be either open source or at least free (trials, lite versions, etc.).

Find out what you use at work and see if there’s a trial version or if they use open source.

If not most of these tools are known and you may be able to find help online (forums, Lemmy, Reddit, etc.).

hi folks, hope all are well today. new'ish gamer and i have a question about etiquette in MMORPGs.

are there proper ways to engage people in game? it seems strange to me to randomly ask someone to be friends. i also don't see many ways to strike up conversations (if that's the proper way to refer to it).

for additional context, in a game like Throne & Liberty or FFXIV, there are tons of people running around doing their thing. do you just whisper to someone and say hi? do you comment on their character or if you saw them do something interesting / cool?

or, for something like The First Descendant you may run a mission with a bunch of random people and then everyone goes their separate ways. but, if that group was cool (and good) do you quickly try to friend everyone?

personal context (if it helps / matters), console gamer (PlayStation don't judge please, haha), really introverted / anxious around strangers IRL, older play (mid 50s) and ultimately... afraid of looking like a weirdo 😀

apologies in advance if this topic was already discussed (happy to check another post if some can point me to it). also, apologies if i don't directly respond to every message, although i will read them all.

edit - 2024/11/16 - i just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your advice and taking the time to reply / provide your insights. this has really been helpful!! happy gaming to you all 🎮 🕹️ 😄

 

Hi and hope all are well today. First, thanks in advance for any / all responses. Second, apologies if this isn’t the best place to ask this question.

I’m curious if anyone, has moved completely from using an AppleTV to something else. Current use case for the ATV is a few streaming apps (Crunchyroll / HiDive, Tubi, etc.) and Apple Arcade (a few casual games).

If you did completely switch, what did you decide on using? Did you go back to buying movies / using a DVD/Blu-Ray player, setup a mini PC and stream from websites / rip music and movies, use a gaming console instead, etc.?

Exploring options and entertaining thoughts for right now. Again, thanks and have a good day / evening.

Edit - 2024/01/01 - Just wanted to thank everyone for the lively discussion and resources (links, recommendations, etc.) related to my question.
