Ask a Staffer Ep. 8 - :ohdear: Edition - TSO

[FinnKaenbyou]

I wouldn't be against reading it if you pointed out some must read stories.  In the case of Star Wars I only got into it because my friends were into it.

With regards to this, what sort of time would you have to read? I'm mainly asking this because there's no point linking some of the insanely long fics if you won't have the time/patience to go through them.

I may not get to it immediately but I'll try to read up.  My current vegging material right now is Babylon 5 but I can squeeze some reading in =P

[Rin Kagamine]

Will people ever learn that I'm not Nobu?

[Yukarin]

You know how to fix laggy connection?

Considering that there's only two active global mods (Benny is hardly around), there's about a 50/50 chance that you're Nobu =P

You know how to fix laggy connection?

Get a better ISP, or bitch at yours to make it better?  Barring that unhook everything and start reconnecting things one at a time to try isolate what's causing the disconnect issues.

[Yukarin]

Oh, can you give me a good Yukarin picture for my avatar? I would appreciate it.

And lol random stabs :V

I'll look, but I haven't really picked out an avatar for anyone in months, let alone for myself.

And lol random stabs :V

I stab therefore I am.

Questions:
What is the most awesome thing ever?
To be, or not to be?

Semi seroius question:
What is you favorite month and why?

[Drake]

I ordered the parts of my new computer yesterday, and I received most of them in the mail today.

Is this awesome?

Questions:

Me

To be, or not to be?

Sobe or not Sobe?

Semi seroius question:

July duh.  Most awesome month in the world because I was born :V

I ordered the parts of my new computer yesterday, and I received most of them in the mail today.

Is this awesome?

Very much yes.

KogasaXParsee?

I <3 Kogasa but don't care much for Parsee :<

[Yukarin]

I think Parsees's quite underrated. She needs more love.

And I love how Chrome has this awesome zoom function. So nice to just sit back, not really sitting in my chair of non-lumbar support.

[Mimachiro]

What's the one thing you want the most right now? (tangible or intangible)

If I were to say love is the most powerful magic, how would you respond?

Would you rather be poor, but have a loving family to be with, or be rich and alone?

How far back can you trace your lineage?

Do you think we'll live long enough to see a sentient android? (like Mr. Data)

What's the one thing you want the most right now? (tangible or intangible)

Acceptance for who I am   I'm absolutely scared I'm going to end up persecuted, singled out and alone for my decisions.

If I were to say love is the most powerful magic, how would you respond?

I'd believe it because the biggest motivator in my life has been love, either from my family or from my peers and friends.

Would you rather be poor, but have a loving family to be with, or be rich and alone?

Poor but not alone, any day.  Money never buys happiness, you can't replace love with things.  I place little value in material possessions and would do anything for love and acceptance.

How far back can you trace your lineage?

It's a bit fuzzy but I'm more or less sure I'm second or third generation German from both my mom and my dad's side.  There's a little bit of English from my dad's mom.

Do you think we'll live long enough to see a sentient android? (like Mr. Data)

I don't think there ever will be unless there's some more important reason for sentience.  I think technologically we could do it but the ethical ramifications are too much and wouldn't sentience in a slave be undesirable?

[Fetch()tirade]

If offered, would you become a dictator for a day?
If so, what country would you pick and what policies would you enforce?
(You cannot enforce any long-term policies, only those that would expire within the limits of your term.)

I wouldn't, it'd go against my beliefs in self-determination and the right to choose.  As much as people may have boneheaded opinions and stuff, it's not any more right to force what we think is the "right" thing onto others.  We can and should educate and reason and attempt to dispel bad beliefs, but never force anyone to abide by someone else's moral code.

Voltair said it best, I would never take away someone's right to self-determination.  I may not agree with all or even any you believe in, but as long as you're not actively restricting the rights of others you should have the freedom to believe whatever you want.

If he was a bear maybe :derp:

[HakureiSM]

What was the most loneliest day in your life, a day you're glad you survived?

[helvetica]

What was the most loneliest day in your life, a day you're glad you survived?

Moving day growing up.  Being in a military family we moved often, at most we stayed at a place for a few years.  You never feel quite alone as then, losing your entire social circle and being shoved into a strange new place with new people.  It's always right when you're finally getting comfortable too, about to call this place home.

[Thata no Guykoro]

Will you give me a hug? :V

[helvetica]

Depends on how much evil I sense in you :ohdear:.

[Kips McKipzerson]

Do you believe some big name companies (Like google) are corrupted?

[Zengar Zombolt]

Depends on how much evil I sense in you :ohdear:.

I can arrange that.

[theshirn]

Why isn't this locked yet?

[Kips McKipzerson]

Because TSO loves to be asked questions.


oh nvm counting fail :derp:

[helvetica]

Do you believe some big name companies (Like google) are corrupted?

Companies are amoral.  They can't really be corrupted as they don't have any morals at all, just the drive to survive and to expand.  That's why I find it funny when people are shocked when companies like Google exploit loopholes on taxes and stuff.  They're not being evil, they're just maximizing profit.  Hence why you can't trust companies to work in good faith because that goes against their entire purpose.  They're not here to be nice, they're here to wring out as much profit as possible.

Why isn't this locked yet?

Good question.
