A: i think until now, i was never ashamed admitting that i have supported something. because as far as i could remember, i support things that are worth supporting though. hehe. at most.
Q: have you tried watching/reading a yuri/yaoi anime/manga?why and why not?if yes how do you feel after doing so?
A: No
Q: Fucking magnets, how do they work?
A: Long story short - at sub-atomic level you can find electrons that move - this movement is enough to generate changes in electric field, which in turn generates magnetic field. Magnets are made from materials that naturally have vectors of those field aligned together so its field is stronger, we call those Ferromagnetic materials, while Diamagnetic materials have its small fields arranged randomly so a lot of them negate each other and their field is just too weak to work as magnet.
Attraction and repulsion is just property of field and its vectors - like with electrostatic.
Q: if you could get a neural link and cyberbrain - GitS style - would you get it? why(or why not)?

A: I like the idea, but after taking some biology courses, namely Biomaterials and Biofluids, I've learned just what a train wreck it is to try to mess with the balance of things in the body. Even simple prosthetics turn out to be ridiculously complicated to implement because they fail so easily. In the end, nothing we create even comes close to measuring up to the innate properties of the human body. We think our technology is so advanced, and it is, but compared to biology we're still just beginner level. The more I learn about bioengineering, the more I hope I never have to have any of these things implemented on me.
Q: Who is a relative of yours that you admire the most and why? How have they impacted your life?
A: i don't admire any of them. hehehe
Q: what is having a girlfriend/boyfriend to you?
A: To be honest I don't really know. They should be someone you like (sexually + other), feel attracted to, admire some (if not all) of their attributes, and someone you like the company of. During the boy/girlfriend phase you work out their faults, see how far you can go for their sake, and see if you're both happy with the results.Originally Posted by saiyame
Q: How do you keep track of your spending? Do you budget? Do you draw a set amount of cash from your bank every week etc and monitor your wallet to keep track of your spending? if you don't "keep track", why do you think that is? Simply don't spend enough? Or work too hard and long to find time to spend money? (Note: answering the first question will do.)
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I'm generally aware of my bank account balance at all times. I'm pretty good when it comes to managing money, good thing i decided to roll with that and went into accounting. I usually try to keep a budget and the amount really depends on when i expect to get more money in. It's generally flexible since i give myself a broad goal like "have x by the end of the month" so if i spend too much one week, i try to cut back the next one. I find that it's better to give yourself an "amount left" goal rather than a "spending goal" because you can easily fall into the trap of thinking something like "I can spend up to X so it should be ok if i buy this". If you approach it with the mind set that you want a certain amount left, you're always aware of how much your money is decreasing by and that'll lead to better buying habits.
Q: Do you have any bad habits that you're aware of? If so, would you like to be rid of it? or is the habit something that makes you who you are?
A: i don't know if this is bad enough but i have a habit of procrastination and taking chances/risks and saying "come what may". and yeah, sometimes, i do want to get rid of it, but i think there are some positive outputs that had and may occur because i have such a habit.
Q: are you guilty of stereo-typing? If yes, do you feel ashamed/guilty? or it's something that you enjoy to do so?
A) Yes, for now, my main stereotypes are pre-medical students/aspirational doctors under science majors as some of the most neurotic and secretly psychotic people I know.
If they could secretly sabotage someone's experiments to improve their chances of getting into medical school, they would. They would lie on their experimental results and cheat the integrity of science by conjuring up imaginary "accurate" data so that they can score higher in their lab reports. They also are arrogant, claim themselves to be "altruistic" (even though we know that's not true), are trying to be medical specialists instead of family physicians/general practioners (which is what society really needs right now) and eventually, most of them will have terrible relationships with patients.
I enjoy doing stereotyping these people because 90% of the time, it's true.
Q) How do you feel about homeless or handicapped people who can barely support themselves? What is your approach to this societal societal problem and how would you do it in a way that would not imbalance a Democratic (liberal) society?

A: I'm not too sure since I have little exposure to that sort of stuff, but isn't social security working for them? I was under the assumption that while the amount may not be comfortable to live with, they won't starve. I've had two people tell me they were homeless at the bottleshop that I work at. I never delved too deeply into exactly they were homeless, but they looked healthy enough on the surface anyway.Q) How do you feel about homeless or handicapped people who can barely support themselves?

B: Do you think men age better than women? Is it that fat older men (to fill their wrinkling skin) is generally considered more acceptable than a fat older woman? Or is it because men in general don't look as pretty as women in their youth anyway, and therefore the aging process seems to have more of an impact on women's appearance than on men?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
A:I think it depends on a number of factors (ethnicity, diet, environment, etc.), but I think that men tend to "age" better than women because (and I am generalising) women tend to be attracted to more than just physical attributes, especially as they age. I think in a lot of cultures, women tend to be more attractive when they are younger and more 'viable'; that is, able to produce offspring. If you want to go all Evolutionary Psychology (which I am not a big fan of), men are able to reproduce at much later ages than women, therefore still being somewhat viable in older age. That is my take, anyway.
Q: What is something that you could give up that you use/consume everyday?
A: Breakfast Cereal
Q: How do you feel about fusion cuisine? Specific examples with different opinions for each are also possible.
Peace.
A: I think it should be encouraged. I can't give examples because I can't exactly remember the details. I think innovation in almost any form is a good thing. "Classic" recipes only became "classic" because someone invented it and it survived the test of time. "Time" isn't exactly correct, but rather it was still liked after being tested against the innovations that came after it.
Fusion in and of itself doesn't cross some moral or practical line in my books, so I don't really see the negatives in it. It could potentially turn out really tasty, and that's the only positive I need. Cuisine is intertwined with culture, and given that we live in a globalised world these days, it's also rather inevitable.
Q: If there was one thing that you could change about yourself, what would it be? (Think of it as "If you had one wish that could be granted", but applied to you. Feel free to interpret what "you" encompases.. just no world peace answers. I want to hear something that changes your status quo).

A: I would give myself insane willpower! (willpower x 10)
I want to do a fuck ton of things, (insanity body, sculpture, writing novels, painting, etc.) and the only thing standing in my way is the ability to sustain interest in it and commit all my time to that and only that. Even meditation requires some amount of consistent effort, so mucho willpower means I can basically accomplish ANYTHING I set my mind to and better my life (and those of others with the profit I gain from it).... world peacey answer?
Edit: Buff just gave me my weekly dose of motivation. <3 my Buff!
Q: Are you a virgin? If so, details! If not, details!

A: No, i've put my penis inside a couple of vaginas.
Q: Why would you necro a dumb thread? Have you? How did you feel mentally and emotionally whilst doing so?
A: I would necro a dumb thread if it will gather interest and posts in an otherwise relatively inactive forum. I don't think I have ever done it for a dumb thread, but I have done it for threads with little to no attention, like LN and VN ones.
Q: Have you ever felt genuinely happy? I know that happiness can be defined in many ways, so it is fine if you base this on what you yourself truly believe. If so, what is the event/cause of such a feeling?
Peace.
