Other Random question of the day

[Idea]

I mean... I don't know if unfair is the right word. There's an element of truth to it in terms of your body's aging and development and physical appeal, plus a number of other miscellaneous factors that apply to a lot if not most people (I assume), but it's also more of a saying than a factual statement. I don't think the people saying those things genuinely believe (for the most part) that it is a cold hard fact without a great amount of nuance left out, or that it applies to everybody or that it is necessarily fully statistically backed or isn't subject to subjective interpretation etc...

So it may be more innacurate than usual, but it's always a statement that's only a vague idea with an element of truth behind it- and a lot of footnotes about all the details that are, obviously, left out.

 

[Hootle]

Everyone's 20s are different. I don't think it's unfair. Most are probably enjoying their time safely all things considered.

 

[The Great Sage]

I'm in my mid 30s right now. Getting older is not good. If you aren't digging your 20s because your situation sucks, that's one thing - if you expect life to get easier, that's another.

I read a something once that suggested that as you get older your perception of time starts to shift. People say that time flies, right? Well it turns out that there's a psychological phenomenon that's responsible for that. Remember how long a year took when you were 10? Think of how short a year is now. That gets worse as you get older. The paper said that if you live until you're 65, by the time you're 21 you've made about half the memories you're ever going to have, and 21-65 is going to feel as long as 0-21 did.

Now, whether or not there is any truth to this is up for debate I guess, but certainly in my case at least it feels true.

If you're not careful, when you're older, you're going to be looking back on your youth longing for the days when you healed quickly, could eat whatever you wanted without being in pain afterward, on and on. It's often said that youth is wasted on the young, and for me it's true. I was too self-absorbed and stupid to realize how good I had it, and looking around, that feeling isn't exactly rare.

I suppose it's one of those things that you won't really take to heart until it happens to you. It's a rude wake up call when it finally hits you though. So... yeah. Good luck.

Random question of the day:

Is it true that selfish people don't get along with other selfish people?

 

[Idea]

Nope. If anything I'd say some of the most selfish people can get along better than the selfless, as while the selfless will put whatever their values are above how they are perceived, the selfish still realize it's for their benefit to remain in other's good graces, because in the long-run this is simply better for themselves. Less risk of retaliation, more trust, more capacity to coordinate, among many other benefits.

Random question of the day:

Do you think it's easy to recognize some voice actors because of the voices they do for certain characters sounding similar to some of their other characters?

 

[The Great Sage]

Yes. John DiMaggio is a good example. Jake the Dog from 'Adventure Time' and Bender from 'Futurama' sound very similar and it's super obvious that the same dude does both characters.

 

[Jannah]

Yes. Azula's voice actor is like this. I can pretty easily recognize her other roles.

 

[Hootle]

Yeah. Ray Chase who voices Noctis in FFXV, Artorias in Tales of Berseria has a very noticeable voice in his work.

 

[Ezina-Kusu]

Oh yeah, I can usually recognise Tara Strong or Nancy Cartwright in most things. Also Mark Hamill quite a bit too.

 

[AlexneushoornTheGreat]

Random question of the day:

Who's your favorite musical artist? And what's your favorite album from that artist?

 

[The Great Sage]

Right now it's Mother Mother, and their album "Oh my "

Random question of the day:

If you could turn back time to fix your past mistakes, what would you fix?

 

[Idea]

I wouldn't. As many mistakes or problems as my past may have contained, each and every one of those moments led me to who and where I am today. It leads me to the people I know, the friends I've made, the things I've learned. I don't want to simply disregard those.

Furthermore, time and the general chain of events is a very complex thing. If you think you know what would happen if you changed this one thing, you're deluding yourself.

 

[Ezina-Kusu]

What I'd want to fix/change would mean that I wouldn't have my kids and husband, so I couldn't ever do it. So I suppose I'd change something small like not joining certain discord servers or something, because then I will only be avoiding unnecessary stress and not going back far enough to effect my family.

 

[Hootle]

Probably the way I have reacted to some things.

 

[LORD SHAXX]

change the bad things i did to get probation

Random question of the day:

Is John Kricfalusi the Ken Penders of animation?

 

[The Great Sage]

Ohh, no I don't think so. But as I'm not a big Sonic fan, I'm certainly a little biased.

I grew up with Ren and Stimpy and my little brothers grew up with The Ripping Friends, and we still talk and laugh about that shit sometimes. If not for the memes, I'd likely forget Sonic even existed.

Random question of the day:

Why does Max from Sam and Max always have a grin on his face?

 

[The Great Sage]

Because he's a violent, crazy animal.

 

[AlexneushoornTheGreat]

Random question of the day:

Which came first: The chicken or the egg?

 

[The Great Sage]

Egg.

 

[Idea]

Eggs existed long before chickens did.

 

[Ezina-Kusu]
