– I don’t like to pay to access my own money. the gas station down the street recently changed its atm so it is no longer in network for my bank. they now charge $1.50 for balance inquiries and $3.50 for a cash withdrawal. the location is convenient, but I have no intention of paying for that convenience.
– what are things you’ve done 500 times? addendum, is there anything that only you have done 500 times?
– is there a food and adult beverage that you enjoy specifically for halloween?
– what is the most unexplainable spooky thing that’s happened to you? do you swear up and down you’ve been in a haunted space? are you convinced you’ve had a “close encounter” with alien life? spotted a cryptid? fell upon a secret ritualistic cult in the woods?
– came home last night and my dog was hiding in the bathroom. she usually comes out to greet me and go potty. I had to force her outside and pee, so she didn’t go in the house. what ghost could scare a dog so badly they don’t want to go for walkies?
– how much halloween candy have your eaten this year before halloween?
– best halloween costume you’ve had?
– why is candy corn so divisive? people are either like “fuck yeah!” or “fuck no!”. it’s like the pineapple on pizza of sugary snacks
– is there something you are scared of or something that gives you the creeps? I don’t like porcelain dolls.

– the concept of leaks being translated by AI falsely. I didn’t look too much into the pokémon leaks so don’t spoil me. but I heard a bunch of things about it in my AI college class. apparently the first version of the 1 tb leaks were translated with AI, and apparently a lot of it was translated by the AI with an agenda in the prompt. so like the stuff with typlosion being a pedo in unused lore was categorically false. but no one seems to be talking about this bit of information.
– short sales of stocks don’t often make headlines. but there are tools available that allow the average person to make money, including helping them set up short sales or just helping with personal investments. with the technology at our fingertips, do you think that short sales are more dangerous or do you think there should be more regulations involved?
– there are three types of men: ones who know how to wear and style shorts, ones who know they look bad in shorts and don’t wear them in public, and ones who need an intervention.
– what is the best style of shorts? basketball shorts is popular, but if you go back in time they get shorter and shorter.
– are speedos considered shorts, and if so, what is the most appropriate time to wear them (when not swimming)?
how often does caleb have to get things from high shelves for people who are shorter than he is? how often is rafe in need of a taller person for assistance?

– some people never learned spacial awareness and are often getting in the way of others, knocking things over, or accidentally hitting things.
– so, here’s something gave me and one of my partners a bit of an existential crisis last night: the word “accusational” is not listed in any dictionary, and yet both of us not only assumed it was but regularly use it. do you use the word “accusational” or know someone who does? have you seen the word before and assumed it must be in a dictionary? can you believe that, as far as I can find, there’s not even a pedantic “um, actually” article anywhere online? is it just her and I that are bothered by any of this?
