This is update #271.
- 15 is basically asking "do you even lift, bro?", and two of the four options would have you indicate that you can lift a fuckton. Like, no. I am not jimmy buffest.
- the scale of hand-eye coordination runs from "I'm horrible at video games" to "I can juggle well" to "I could be an Olympic marksman" this is a shit scale
- "My reflexes have saved my life on more than one occasion." HOW IS THIS A THING THAT PEOPLE CAN CHOOSE
- "23. If I punched someone as hard as I could... I might kill them" UHH
- "25. It's worse to be: Weak or Fragile" honestly these questions are not great
- "34. It's worse to be: Too Skinny or Too Stocky" what's the context here 'cause like there's scarcely a worse one to be unless you're at the north pole freezing your scrawny arse to death or something
- also is it supposed to be what I would think would be worse for me to personally be or what it's worse for other people to be how am I supposed to be the judge of other people in this way
- you may think this is a lot of blather concerning one question but this is in the middle of a whole series of this ilk and is simply the point where I've finally snapped
- "41. It is better to... ...defend the weak. or ...help the poor." Both. Both is good.
- "44. I work out... ...so that I will be healthier. or ...so that I will be more attractive." I feel like we established about twenty questions ago that the answer is "so that I will remain functional"
- "45. Animals... ...deserve our respect. or ...are delicious." what the fuck
- "47. I think it would be interesting to have a supernatural experience. True or False" well geez yes it sure would be interesting but I feel like you are being a little light on the parameters here are we talking mild oobe or being pursued by a bloodthirsty phantom
- [8:42 PM] Sruixan: WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT IN LIFE: FEELING EMOTIONS OR
[8:42 PM] Sruixan: THE ALTERNATIVE DOES NOT MATTER
[8:42 PM] Sruixan: what the fuck is this question
[8:42 PM] Sruixan: emotions happen
[8:42 PM] Sruixan: sometimes they are not the greatest
[8:43 PM] Sruixan: but why are they something that you can describe as being "more important" than something else
[8:43 PM] Sruixan: you are going to feel these emotions whether you like it or not
[8:43 PM] Sruixan: this is going in the post but I made vocalisations at this one
- "60. Religion is an institution that... ...allows some people to exploit the fears of others. or ...helps people live meaningful lives." well this is a damned harsh binary
- "65. I would rather spend two hours... ...learning something new. or ...leisurely jogging." where is the option for "taking a nap"
- and also that's yet another shitty binary can you imagine the circumstances that led to that choice being one you would actually have to make
- "66. I would rather spend two hours... ...alone in the wilderness. or ...alone working with my hands." uhhhhhh so my immediate interpretation of the second choices was suspect and then I reread the first and this is a terrible question
- "74. I would rather spend two hours... ...hiking a trail. or ...discussing philosophy." again why not both
- "76. I would rather spend two hours... ...at the gym. or ...at church." this quiz really has a knack for throwing up ridiculous dichotomies
- "79. I would rather spend two hours... ...camping with my friends. or ...drinking with my friends." again I refuse to believe these are mutually exclusive
- "85. I would rather spend... ...a night on the town. or ...a day riding horses." THIS IS NOT A BOTH THIS IS A NEITHER
- THE ACT OF ME RIDING ON A HORSE IS EXTREMELY DISCOMFORTING FOR BOTH PARTIES BELIEVE ME
- [8:53 PM] Sruixan: urgh 92 (" Family elders are expressing disapproval of you to the rest of the family. Do you:")
[8:54 PM] Sruixan: the correct answer is "ignore them slash laugh it off"
[8:54 PM] Ixcaliber: yep
[8:55 PM] Sruixan: "and then internalise the disapproval by chucking it into the simmering pit of self-loathing"
- "98. A powerful but corrupt lawyer offers you money if you'll testify against your friend. Do you:" well hold up there give me a minute this is not a scenario I've ever really considered the possibility of finding myself in before
- "103. Are you still in touch with childhood friends?" huh we're pulling out the punches here now "No, I don't have anything in common with them anymore." and now it's just a bit too on the nose
- "106. If you were injured and required immediate assistance, would members of your home town agree to help?" have you heard about the NHS
- "111. If offered enough money, would covertly assassinate the President?" UHHHHHH hold on can I ask the NSA to politely look away for one second please
- (if they keylogged that then sorry I might play some more Cook Serve Delicious later please look forward to the 1pscrpscrpscr↵2↓↵3mmm1↑↑↑→→→qf↵ spam)
- "Yes, I've done similar things before." WHO IS ABLE TO SELECT THIS ANSWER IN GOOD FAITH
- this quiz got extremely political disconcertingly fast
- "126. What's the best path to wealth?" dunno but if you have an objectively correct answer back there in the code would you mind sharing
- oh bless I can get the answers output in HTML code for my LiveJournal that I totally have
- Chaotic Neutral Human Wizard (2nd Level)
- [9:06 PM] Ixcaliber: i think that doesn't sound terrible
[9:06 PM] Ixcaliber: everyone gets human though
[9:06 PM] Sruixan: I feel like it is very hard not to be a basic human without answering in a completely bullshit manner
[9:06 PM] Ixcaliber: it's bad
[9:06 PM] Ixcaliber: yeah
