What's an aspect of life that's currently done privately that you think should be communalized?
  • RoquetteQueen RoquetteQueen 2d ago 100%

    These are really common where I live but I've never had one. They'd be a nightmare for my forgetful ass. I'd never remember to check the mail. I already forget and my mailbox is next to my front door.

  • Can you help me collect proofs that Elon Musk is against free speech and other bad things he has done/said ?
  • RoquetteQueen RoquetteQueen 3d ago 100%

    Personally, I don't memorise facts about people I don't like. I learn them and forget them but don't forget that I don't like that person.

  • What’s a hobby you suggest everyone should take up to improve their mental health?
  • RoquetteQueen RoquetteQueen 6d ago 100%

    Keep a hobby a hobby, yes! Don't try and monetize it! You will kill all the joy you once felt for that hobby.

  • A fever is your body heating to fight a disease, why do we lower it down with paracetamol?
  • RoquetteQueen RoquetteQueen 1w ago 100%

    You don't usually need to lower the fever. We do it for comfort, mostly. Being feverish feels bad. One of my kids can tolerate a fever so I don't usually give her fever reducing medication. The other one gets so miserable that she won't stop screaming, so I give her the medication.

  • Been thinking of watching the old Digimon anime. Is this a good idea? Am I about to go into debt for a new TCG?
  • RoquetteQueen RoquetteQueen 2w ago 100%

    I loved both as a kid but Digimon was a much better story. Pokemon was super cheesy and felt like it was just made to sell video games and trading cards.

  • What's your favorite quick, tasty, and healthy meal?
  • RoquetteQueen RoquetteQueen 2w ago 100%

    If I have to cook, ground beef burritos. I could make that in my sleep. Get some rice going in the rice cooker. Saute diced onions, add minced garlic when those are translucent and smell good, add the beef when the garlic smells good, add spices once the beef is mostly browned. I add lemon juice at the end to deglaze. Toss on a tortilla with some sour cream, a huge handful of chopped cilantro (no soapy taste here, just lemony freshness), the rice, and lots of home-canned salsa.

    But really, if I want something quick, I'm not cooking. I love eating some crusty bread with hummus. I buy big bags ciabatta buns and keep them in the freezer. Just a few minutes in my air fryer and they come out basically freshly baked.

  • Is Quietlab sleeping mouthpiece a scam?
  • RoquetteQueen RoquetteQueen 2w ago 80%

    I pretty much always assume that any internet ad is a scam. I may have been traumatised by some pop ups in the early internet days.

  • Conservative asked me my thoughts on a situation if a guy who says he's trans walks into a womens restroom but is lying and isn't actually trans
  • RoquetteQueen RoquetteQueen 2w ago 100%

    Seriously that's always been my question for these people. "Oh no, only women are allowed to enter and I'm not a woman! Oh well, guess I'll go rape someone somewhere else!" Dude was already planning on committing a crime, guys. Come on.

  • What's your relationship like with your grandparents?
  • RoquetteQueen RoquetteQueen 2w ago 100%

    My grandparents basically raised their grandchildren, so I'd say I am/was close with mine, except the one asshole. My one grandmother is basically like a second mom for me. I lived with her from when I was 13 until I was 30 (with maybe five years apart in between) and she is a pretty involved great-grandmother to all her great-grandchildren, too.

    Unfortunately it was them. She did end up getting the shot finally when one person at her health unit decided to let her get it.

    My sister actually had to get a rabies shot recently after waking up to a bat in her room. They tried to tell her she didn't need it because she'd know if the bat bit her!

  • Does money corrupt, or is money attractive to questionable people?
  • RoquetteQueen RoquetteQueen 3w ago 100%

    Personally, I hate having power over others or being in a position of authority. I even feel weird telling my own children what to do.

    Do cinnamon rolls count?

    My favourite dessert to make! Yeast dough is just really fun to work with. We always eat them all before remember to get photos after baking. I use [this recipe from King Arthur Baking](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/cinna-buns-recipe). Pretty much all my bread recipes are from there, since they have the ingredient weights listed.

    I don't remember the prompt nor where I generated this. I think my favourite thing about AI art is how eerie it can be! The subtle wrongness is so fun.
