The question of the day thread

love is not a choice

[Hap Hapablap]

Not done one in a while but QOTD:

You rub a magic lamp and a genie offers to empower you with one of the following abilities:

- The gift of foresight, allowing you to predict the future up to 15 minutes in advance
- The gift of strength, allowing you to lift or push 1 ton of weight
- The gift of languages, allowing you to speak every language on the planet

Which do you choose? Note this genie doesn't have a bastard option

[Da33le]

I tell the genie that he is a prick for offering such terrible wishes and then pick the last one.

[Albino Lord]

Language by default.

Forsight would be awful--knowing that you're gonna die 15 minutes before it happens, that would be hell.

Strength--you're still weaker than Pat Robertson. Where's the upside?

[browser2920]

I think the foresight wish is one of those genie trick gifts that **** you over when you get it. Because if you can see ahead the next 15 minutes, then that means those 15 minutes are set in stone. So you wouldnt be able to do anything differently to change the outcome.

For example, let's say you see yourself getting hit by a car in 15 minutes while crossing the street. So you think I wont cross the street and save myself. But you cant. Because if you could, then the gift of seeing the future would be invalidated, i.e. If you were to end up alive in 15 minutes, then that's what you would have seen in the first place.

So you think you're getting a great power, but really not. ****ing genie tricks!

How does the foresight work? Do you automatically see it, or do you have to think about it to see the future. Being that it says you can 'predict the future', I think it is the second one making it an easy choice as you can turn it on an off. Basically you would get unlimited money from winning horse races etc.

Also can you change the outcome? Movies run on about 50/50 regarding if they can change the outcome (and let's face it movies are real so we need to base our decisions on this). If you can it sounds like a no-brainer, but you would be spending your life doing nothing but saving people. That doesn't sound like fun. Though asking a chick if you can guess a number she writes on a piece of paper between 1 and 1,000,000,000 to see her boobs would be cool.

[Hap Hapablap]

Yeah, so foresight would be seeing the future as if you were to do nothing to change it, however it is possible to change. It would be an on/off choice too.

[fidstar-poker]

^^^ no brainer pick now.

[fidstar-poker]

You're with a girl for 3 or 4 years. Serious. Living together. Picture the whole marriage / kids etc with her. Which of the following are forgivable if she told you she had done them:

1) Made out with your best friend after a few drinks
2) Once stared in a porno (standard porno stuff, nothing weird)
3) Her real name is actually something else and the reason she fakes her name is she is running away from someone. Won't tell you who or why
4) She found out you are actually second cousins
5) Once slept with Andy Dick


That will do for now.

This can be tomorrow's question too. I'm too lazy to wait for midnight :P

[spike420211]

1,2,4, and 5 [only becuz I have no idea who Andy Dick is]

For Sat. 8June2013:

1.)Hmmmm. If the ***** made out with my best friend 4 years ago then I guess I could forgive that. If it was last week, hell no.
2.) She starred in a porno. I can live with that
3.) She has a fake name. I can live with that
4.) Second cousins? Goodbye.
5.) Andy Dick? GTFO WHORE!

Paper condoms aren't as effective.

[SouthernPott]

1) Since my best friend is a woman I would immediately demand photographic evidence of said offence or a live recreation.
2) Starred in a porno. See answer 1 above.
3) Fake name and on the run. No problem.
4) I have 1st or 2nd cousins who married on both sides of my family only 4 generations back. I can live with this.
5) Andy Dick. Since he has probably had 3x as much man-meat in him as she has, this will be a deal breaker for me. No telling what kind of alien life forms he harbors.


Plastic, I always need something good for collecting dog poop.

[Da33le]

I could probably live with all of those if she agrees we won't have kids.

[crazy canuck]

paper or plastic? [doesn't hafta be supermarket related!]

paper

[fidstar-poker]

Is it midnight yet? Pretty sure it is somewhere.

Anyway, same as my last question but this time the following happens:

1) Has decided sex is no longer gonna happen for the rest of time. You will get a blowie once a week or fortnight depending on her mood. Any pregnancy will be artificial.
2) She insists you no longer drink or do any drugs (of the illegal kind).
3) She says she will only be with you for 3 more years and then she is leaving you. For the entire time she will be a great gf, but there is no chance it will go on.
4) Wants to move to another country. Nonnegotiable. Let's say New Zealand.
5) She wants to be a swinger. Nonnegotiable.

[Low Key]

1, 2, 4. Ez game

[Albino Lord]

4 & 5 forgivable--even encouraged. 1,2 & 3 never. move on.

[Hap Hapablap]

1 and 2 never, 3 is a possibility, 4 is not a problem. 5... only with good looking couples. No fat ugly rape cookie swingers

[Da33le]

I could live with most of them, just not number 1. Also I wouldn't agree to number 2 simply because aint no woman gon tell me what i can and cant drink.

[JustJ46671]

Last question: is it midnight, yet?

Soon

mother nature says you can't drink sulphuric acid

[Hap Hapablap]

Well you can drink it, but it won't do you much good

Reported

[fidstar-poker]

Since no one wants to ask questions I'll continue.

Same question as before. Forgivable or not?

1) She confesses she was once in jail for arranging for her bf to be beaten up
2) Favorite band is One Direction
3) Wants to have a 3some with another dude. From the way she is talking this probably isn't a one off thing. She will not return the favor with a 3some with another chick
4) Says she is going to put on 50 pounds
5) Is racist

[Hap Hapablap]

1.) Unforgivable
2.) Unforgivable
3.) Unforgivable
4.) Unforgivable
5.) I think I could handle that as long as she doesn't hate latinos
