general Favorite Supermarket?
daviddaviddavid replied to Kyoshi Frost Wolf's topic in General Discussion
Carrefour as they have pretty much everything. We don't get them in the UK though (at least I've never seen one), my favourite here is Marks & Spencer. It's a little bit pricier (although people really overexaggerate the difference, it's quite small) but the quality of most things is significantly better. -
What's the fastest you've ever driven?
daviddaviddavid replied to Princess Periwinkle's topic in General Discussion
About 125mph, or 200ish km/h. It was terrifying and I'll never do it again. -
general Are you more of a night owl, or an early bird?
daviddaviddavid replied to Lunar Glow's topic in General Discussion
Early bird for sure. I'm almost always in bed by 10pm and up by 6am. Wasn't always that way though - my sleeping pattern has definitely undergone an evolution since my university days. -
mega thread How are you feeling?
daviddaviddavid replied to Rift enchanted's topic in General Discussion
Quite tired, work was quite busy today. Also excited for the weekend, I'm meeting some friends on Friday evening, on Saturday I have a date with a girl I met on a dating site (will be my first time ever meeting someone through the internet, it's scary) and on Sunday I'm going to my parents' house for a barbecue (we're supposed to have a spell of hot weather). -
I disassociate from people far too easily, and I hold grudges when I feel that I've been wronged - and I literally never let go of them, even though I never actively pursue vengeance. I think that's pretty dark, but reading some of the comments here...yikes.

Sentimental - I thought long and hard about this but I think it's unironically my bed. I've had good and bad times there, it's where I've been my happiest and my saddest. Plus it's ridiculously comfortable Monetary - my car, easily (at least if we're talking about things that are fully paid off).

No. I like to be in new places, and to explore them fully once I'm there, immersing myself in the culture and local activities - but the actual process of travelling anywhere is usually quite tiresome. I hate public transport of all kinds (planes, trains, buses, so on) and try to always avoid using any of them whenever possible. I enjoy driving, but in the UK even that can be a chore sometimes as our roads are full of pot-holes and people who can't drive properly at all. I took a roadtrip to the south of France this summer and driving down on the French toll roads was bliss. Straight, buttery smooth roads with almost no traffic - by far the most enjoyable long distance driving experience I've ever had.

I have a white noise machine, it helps me a lot as I'm a light sleeper and that enables me to tune out any random noises. Sometimes I'll stick on some rain sounds too, that always relaxes me.

How many relationships have you been in?
daviddaviddavid replied to Olly's topic in General Discussion
Depends what you count as a relationship. Somewhere between 1 and 3. -
13 extra wide or 13.5 regular in UK sizes. Think that translates to 14-14.5 in US sizes, and 48-49 EU sizes. My feet are pretty big.

general Rate yourself in attractiveness, intelligence and kindness.
daviddaviddavid replied to Screw Loose's topic in General Discussion
Attractiveness - 6. Not unattractive but not a model either Intelligence - 8. I'm taking my Mensa exam on November 4th, and if I pass it I'll upgrade this to a 9 Kindness - 5. I'm naturally not a compassionate person, but I'm trying to overcome this -
Yeah they do. They aren't everything, but to say that they're entirely inconsequential is a lie. We're visual creatures.
-
Because I'm not actively looking for anything, and I've spurned the advances of almost everyone who's ever liked me (although in some cases I was just an idiot and didn't realise what I was doing) either instantly or to focus on other things in my life. I should probably work on that.

mega thread Song Stuck in your Head Right Now
daviddaviddavid replied to Blue Moon's topic in Media Discussion
Probably belongs on the metal thread, but it is also stuck in my head so I guess it fits here too. This band hasn't been the same since Mustis + ICS Vortex left. -
What irrates you about yourself?
daviddaviddavid replied to Reecejackox's topic in General Discussion
I overthink too much. Used to be significantly worse at this, but there's still a lot of room for improvement -
What does your avatar say about you?
daviddaviddavid replied to Lockheed's topic in General Discussion
Not that much I suppose -
How Important is Height for a Woman?
daviddaviddavid replied to CastletonSnob's topic in General Discussion
Not sure if this question is asking women how important they deem height to be, or asking men how important they think height is on a woman. But I'm a man and I'm bored, so simply down to that I'll address the latter one: I prefer taller women (170-180cm is ideal) but it's not that important. As long as she's not sub-150 or above 2m I'm good -
A hike and then a meal at a restaurant, probably. Never met anyone who really enjoys that type of thing though

general Do you like having your picture taken?
daviddaviddavid replied to Dreambiscuit's topic in General Discussion
I used to hate having my picture taken, but these days I don't mind so much. I'm still not very big on taking selfies, but that's not so much about feeling self-conscious as it is about feeling overly vain. If someone else takes the picture and I'm in it though, then that's okay -
Somewhere between 7-9 typically, with 8 usually being most common. I sleep pretty well most of the time, but I have a pretty robust bedtime routine that pretty much always guarantees I'm tired at the appropriate time and don't wake up very often in the night, even if it's noisy outside. Obviously not every night is the same and I do get the occasional sleep disturbance, but typically I don't have issues.
-
Popular enough. I have more friends than I need and each is great in their own way - I'm very thankful for that. Online (since people are counting this), probably not at all, and I'm not really bothered about changing that.

Is there really someone out there that is 'your one'?
daviddaviddavid replied to Celestial Wish's topic in General Discussion
I think there are multiple people in the world that you're highly compatible with, no matter how weird or reclusive you are - that goes for everyone not only now, but also in human history. The availability of travel and tools like the internet have made the world a lot smaller, and I think these days it's easier than ever to meet those people. That being said, I've only met one in my life so far, so maybe my opinion is bollocks. -
I'm quite good with tech stuff (used to work as a software developer), quite good at maths (I'm at an accounting firm now), I'm good at playing guitar and reasonably good at playing piano, I'm good at cooking, I'm good at languages (can speak about 3-4 reasonably well, and a smattering of words in many others), and I'm good at picking up heavy things. That's pretty much it though. Most other stuff I suck at.

The green pill is clearly the worst one - I honestly can say I don't think I'd ever use that ability even if it were given to me for free. Maybe a bird so I could fly, but then that's what the blue pill is for. Speaking of which, why would I need to fly if I could just teleport? The blue pill is useful but very oddly designed. The pink pill is also awful - it doesn't specify what type of love, and the love dies as soon as you touch them? Not to mention that it's a completely inauthentic basis for a relationship... I'm out. The grey one is somewhat useful, but boring. Machines are designed to be controlled by humans as they are, so the only reason I'd have for wanting to control one with my mind is that I'm lazy. Pass. The black pill is powerful but ultimately terrifying, and plus would the future not change with each given second as people set a new course of events into motion through their actions? The orange pill is insanely overpowered. While I'd love the idea that I could instantly master anything (thus probably also ensuring you a lifetime supply of money in a variety of disciplines), it'd take the fun out of life. Nothing would be a struggle and you'd never grow through hardships - not for me. The yellow pill is also insanely powerful. Unlike the orange pill, I think that it *would* make life more interesting - but the problem is that I'd be using it constantly. I'd be scanning everyone's brains the whole time to see what they're thinking about and my curiosity would ultimately drive me crazy. Not to mention that there's a good chance that what I'd see would sicken me. So I guess I'd take the red pill. Powerful, and useful, but wouldn't turn you into some kind of alien with either otherworldly or inconvenient abilities. I could live a relatively normal life and still do all the things that I'd enjoy, I'd just be a little better at some of them. Sounds good to me.

general What's the worst thing about your job?
daviddaviddavid replied to Dreambiscuit's topic in General Discussion
Are you an accountant, by any chance? I've just joined the industry a month ago and came here to post something almost exactly the same.
