If you could have the ability to design anyone's dreams, but you could only design paradises or nightmares, which would you choose? Imagine that once you choose, you'll only have the ability to do the one you chose for the rest of you life.

Also, you wouldn't have to design anything if you didn't want to. So you could choose any ability and never use it, only use it when you want to, etc.

or if you have someone else in mind... leave a comment

Well, apparently 40% of Americans think so. In a recent poll (n=1000), 60% of men and 22% of women say they are. They are capable of performing against elite athletes that have honed their skills for years, despite being on average obese.

Let me remind you, average BMI in the USA is about 30, which is obese.

Unironically, it may be interesting to throw in an average Joe at big events. Let’s see whether the average guy can run 13 miles per hour for 2 hours to compete in the marathon.

Maybe if they all meant like curling or sharpshooting, which I heavily doubt

Take me for example. I'm an immensely humble person in general. But if I didn't know I was as profoundly humble as I truly am, yet I still displayed signs of modesty, would it count? Like would it be accurate to say that I'm truly humble & that it doesn't just seem that way?

This question was inspired by this other question:
Is it better for someone to not know their worth or to be full of themselves?

Which would you rather have? More stature or more bedroom points?

I'm completely unsatisfactory in both, but I'd EASILY rather have six extra inches in height. That'd put me at 6'5" and strongly out of Manlet territory. I could live with being under 7" downstairs if I was actually tall.

So a little while ago I was walking to the store here at night, not too far about a 20-30min walking distance to and from there.

Anyways as I was walking while still inside my community a car comes directly towards me on the side of the road and doesn't move over to the middle of the street, so I kept walking towards it and moved over. And the car was still riding on the side of the street with its windows up and slowly stopped as I walked passed and then it drove off and made a turn heading out of the community.

A few blocks down on a street still inside the community there were a group of people and cars parked, with some black people out in the street and stuff talking, kind of seem like a gang a bit.

As I was walking back just entering the community where I live a SUV or a truck (not sure which one couldn't make it out) drove past me as I was walking. And it backed up in reverse and this girl asks me "do you need a ride home?" I replied back "no I'm good".

So I'm not sure if this was a setup or something.

Just a question to get the thalassophobia juices flowing LOL

How often do you curse or use "swear words?"

Some of you may wonder (or not) why I sometimes do bullsh*t like this. Self-censoring. Well, it's because I think cursing actually makes you feel angrier and more aggressive. Like, it riles you up and makes you more stressed and irritable. Curse words originally were meant to be extreme insults and to really offend the person you were talking to (which is why there's really only three kinds of curse words: Religious, Body Parts, and Sex/Bodily Fluids). I personally only curse when I'm angry or furious.

So yeah, I think the more you curse, the angrier you make yourself. Which is why I curse doing this stupid sh*t. (I hear it in my mind as goofy censor-sound-effects, like a quack, barking, or a doorbell). It keeps me from making myself get angry. I think cursing too much drops all its meaning.
