I trigger trolls/stubborn children online, usually with ridicule, and I follow it up with a moral lesson. Besides that, I’m extra silly around my wife, and try to put her in funky situations (random “hey, it’s my wife’s bday, she would really love it if y’all sang for her”, dancing on the street to the beat of the ambulance, nothing too crazy). I’m pretty free and she ‘tries to fit in’, so it’s always fun, at least for me (hehehe).
All the time! Words are cheap and everyone enjoys a compliment, especially those with lower self esteem and a myriad of concerns and doubts. But I compliment everyone when the circumstances call for it, from telling my friends I love their shoes (IDC nor do I have an eye for fashion, but I know they do!) to praising my colleagues, telling them how competent they are at what they do etc etc (it’s deserved, plus it keeps the machine running smoothly). If you’re mentally agile, have read a book and aren’t too consumed with your own insecurities, words should come very easily to you, so don’t forget to use them!
I agree. I’m really hoping someone just touches up UI and does some upscaling. I don’t think it needs anything else to make it more viable and appealing to folks today. 🙏
Who would answer anything but “chop em all off”? Lol. You can singlehandedly stop world hunger, and you don’t even have to give your life for it, just your fingers? A lot of praiseworthy people have given way more for way less. It’s a small sacrifice for the betterment of the world, I wouldn’t trust any man whose immediate instinct isn’t to sacrifice their fingers…

It’s just so ideologically diverse and deep, and so quotable too. Plus, you can use how much you agree with Miriam as a litmus test for maturity, lol.
Moneo (GEoD), maybe?
SIAYNOQ! I BELIEVE!
