Can you touch your toes?
Yes, but only if I bend my knees/stomach in an unnatural way! I've just done that!

What makes you sad?
The question ofthe day was quite depressing tbh.
Are girls more dramatic than boys?
I'm 33 and I barely know any girls or boys, and it's generally a depressing question

Space ? :
Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.

? What’s your opinion on fireworks? E.g. Should they only be sold to licensed/authorised vendors? Only available at certain times of year? Banned altogether due to the distress they cause animals? Freely available to anyone over 16 ... 18 ... 21?
They should be banned for under 18s, I don't think they should be more widely restricted/banned even though I've hated them since they scared my parents' dog, who cowers in terror for a week before and after the 5th of November when morons let them off.
In spite of this, I don't think a ban would be effective so we just go to a remote place each year, my parents take the dog there & I might go along, as in I'm going to Wales tomorrow!

It will be a silver lining to eat in the seafood restaurant and look at that, but why should we have to be driven out of our home by bellends?

Hi! I hope your week is going ok so far ?. So here’s an ask for you: Describe your ideal workplace boss (or if you’d prefer, describe your ideal lecturer/teacher) and their character traits. ? ?? ??
There is a real occupation that’s ideal for me, I don’t have to imagine it but it is sadly quite a long way from reach.
I went to an event at the University of Birmingham in June and decided I wanted to enrol on this MA course that the professor was doing, but couldn’t afford the fees or the time
So this person (who I won’t name, but he and another professor are exactly the sort of person I’d want to spend my days with) would be my “boss” and I’d live there, close to Winterbourne House, the Barber Institute & the Lapworth Museum, I could be at the heart of a major city or on a campus idyll by the canal, depending how I felt (the beauty of Edgbaston is that it’s both).
Though I myself would live in the Cube :)
And spend much more time with my girlfriend, who lives there.
So there are no fantasies about being a superhero, just something that is a daydream and possibly something I can do when retired, whenever that is!

Should nationalism be defined as the ideology of promoting and defending the national interest?
Not especially, as those who define "sovereignty" in the abstract, or are hostile to immigrants and supranational bodies, generally end up doing colossal damage even though they boast of how they "love their country".
Farage, Rees-Mogg, Johnson etc are fighting for many things (most notably their own dodgy offshore "investments") but the interest of ordinary British people certainly isn't one of them, as they prioritise the abstract vision of the nation that exists in their heads over the reality in which ordinary folk live and work.

Is feminism antithetical to nationalism?
It's an interesting question.
Do nationalists want to be seen as quasi-feminists, in particular defending OUR women against THEIR men? (The way Stephen Yaxley-Lennon probably imagines himself to be doing, notwithstanding the harm he does to the cause of genuine victims)
Or do they want to be putting women back into what they imagine is "their place", a la Jair Bolsonaro?
This is the fault line in the movement of right-wing men (there are very few women in these movements for obvious reasons) and it requires more serious thought than has so far been put into it, though I suppose anyone capable of thinking seriously wouldn't be part of the "alt-right" in the first place.

Go dressed as the most evil creature ever to stalk the night in search of victims, if your mates can handle the terror!

I just read an article about the recent first attempted murder case in Antarctica (I’ll post a link to the story on my page, as it’s a long url). One guy stabbed another for telling him the endings to books! How would you cope if you were one of two people on an isolated research post for 4 years?
Badly, I suppose!
Have you read The Ice by Laline Paull? It's a fascinating human story and it's prescient as it's set amid climate change in the Arctic (which presumably has similar conditions to the Antarctic).
I was doing a long-distance walk and I was still out at 8pm, trudging along Talacre beach in Wales, but engrossed in the story which I was listening to on an audiobook.
I look forward to seeing the link, it's not a circumstance I'd want to be in myself but it sounds fascinating!

Which TV/online series are you currently watching (if any?) What do you think of it/them?
I'm not watching anything now but I'm on tenterhooks waiting for The Last Kingdom series 3 to come out!
Dua Lipa or Bebe Rexha?
Never heard of either of them, am I supposed to be relieved to escape the triviality of pop culture or worried that I'm not down with the kids?

Do people celebrate Halloween in your country?
They do but mostly use bastardised Americanism as there are few surviving native traditions at this time of year.
Myself, I go to the greengrocer on the 1st of November each year and buy a pumpkin, they are discounted because they weren't bought at Halloween, so I get a very cheap pumpkin soup & toasted pumpkin seeds :)

Why can't we forget the ones we loved?
A pining, unrequited love is different to the mourning of a dead person who has been part of your life, and a divorced person missing their ex-spouse is different to having a crush on someone you've never been involved with, so it's hard to answer the question as there are different loves.
When people mourn dead family or friends it's because they have been part of our lives and we've given to them and shared with them.
When you see people who have an unrequited and seemingly hopeless love (AE Housman is an excellent example of this), the loved one generally represents what is missing from their own life, and often unrealistic expectations are pinned on people who aren't capable of fulfilling them.
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jul/16/housman-country-heart-of-england-peter-parker-review
Might I also suggest you read The Four Loves by CS Lewis? It's a fascinating & challenging book which I read each Easter and might help you understand the questions you're asking yourself.

Suggest me any good series other than GOts , Sherlock and 13 reasons ?
There's an excellent series based on the books by Bernard Cornwell, the latest of which was published only 3 weeks ago, The Last Kingdom. Bernard Cornwell is an excellent writer who knows about TV ( his Sharpe books were also televised with Sean Bean, who excelled in the role) and I'd urge you to read the Saxon Stories books & watch the Last Kingdom TV!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Kingdom_(TV_series)
Apparently a third series on its way!
