1. Are you considered by others to be an intellectual?
Most people probably consider me that way (if they think about it at all), I know some people do. But maybe some people don't because of my love for punkish music and certain pop culture
2. What colour are your eyes?
blue-green-grey-ish
3. Is there something bothering you right now? If you feel okay with talking about it, let us know here.
not especially, the usual things. Which means worry about my loved ones, my perpetual Frankenstein misfit/freak complex, and the usual work stress. It's not too bad though
4. Should workplaces offering birthday leave, mental health leave and bereavement days for having a miscarriage? This is a popular discussion right now with my union vs my employer.
Birthday leave would be nice but I don't have a very strong opinion on it. I'm guessing by mental health leave you mean leave for when someone is having mental health issues? I'm strongly in favour of that, and bereavement days for miscarriages too.
5. Have you met a "Karen" before? Not the namesake but the unreasonable attitude towards others. Can also include a "Darren".
I don't know, not that I'm aware of. I've probably met them because the concept feels familiar, but never anyone that I distincly remember
6. What role would you play if you had survived a post apocalyptic nuclear war?
I'm not sure I would play any other role than I do now. I think so far in life my most useful role in society around me has been as a mediator/peacekeeper

I thought they’re asking if birthday, bereavement, mental health days, etc are acceptable in the work environment, should leave for something like a miscarriage also be included? Idk I could be wrong, the phrasing is confusing.

I’m of the opinion that my employer should have no insight into my personal life whatsoever, and when I take days off I do not tell them why.

1. Are you considered by others to be an intellectual?

Most people call my a hyper-intellectual, whether well-intended or as a criticism. I'll take it either way.

2. What colour are your eyes?

Brown sunbursts circumscribing my pupils with slate grey outer irises.

3. Is there something bothering you right now? If you feel okay with talking about it, let us know here.

I just ordered a new book by a music-engineer-and-producer-turned-neuroscientist exploring musical interest and the brain. But the accompanying Tidal tracklist frames the book as being pop-focused. (She produced Prince's albums.) I'm hoping it wasn't a wasted investment.

4. Should workplaces offering birthday leave, mental health leave and bereavement days for having a miscarriage? This is a popular discussion right now with my union vs my employer.

Absolutely. 100%. I advocate mental health and women's health support in a nation which tragically ignores both more often than not.

5. Have you met a "Karen" before? Not the namesake but the unreasonable attitude towards others. Can also include a "Darren".

I have nearly zero interaction with the public. In the retail days of my youth I encountered Karen-types but I'm grateful that those days are long behind me.

6. What role would you play if you had survived a post apocalyptic nuclear war?

I would unequivocally serve as the treasurer/cataloguer/scribe/curator/archivist of preserved knowledge with which to rebuild a culturally-rich society. That would be my goal and my greatest natural skill.

Only by idiots. I am their king.

2. What colour are your eyes?

Purple.

3. Is there something bothering you right now? If you feel okay with talking about it, let us know here.

This is such a nice question, but no, thank you, at the moment nothing is bothering me. Other than I'm not super rich with a girl on each arm. Can you help me with this?

4. Should workplaces offering birthday leave, mental health leave and bereavement days for having a miscarriage? This is a popular discussion right now with my union vs my employer.

Birthday, absolutely not. What a silly idea. What would all the strippograms do? Mental health, not sure: how do you classify/qualify that? Wouldn't you get a lot of people just pretending to be "slightly mentally ill" in order to go to the game or whatever? Miscarriage, hard to say. Yes, but then again how many women want a) it known they miscarried and b) to capitalise on it (or be seen as doing such) by getting a day/days off, and anyway if you've miscarried do you really want to be sitting around the house thinking about it?

5. Have you met a "Karen" before? Not the namesake but the unreasonable attitude towards others. Can also include a "Darren".

I live with a Karen. She's a nightmare. But I can't wake up!
Seriously, she's a sweetheart (OW! I'm TELLING them, sis! You promised if I told them you wouldn't... oh no!) - I find it mildly annoying that her name has been appropriated as this entitled busybody arrogant sort of person, cos my Karen is not (OW! I said you WEREN'T!)

6. What role would you play if you had survived a post apocalyptic nuclear war?


The main course.

I don't think so.

2. What colour are your eyes?
My eyes are blue.

3. Is there something bothering you right now? If you feel okay with talking about it, let us know here.

My teeth have been grinding to the point where I get headaches. It's part work crap, sports drama (I run a hockey team), and family stuff. My wife and I signed off on buying a house today. The hits just keep on coming.

4. Should workplaces offering birthday leave, mental health leave and bereavement days for having a miscarriage?
I'd be happy if others had those benefits. I think it would help both the employee and the employer. I would imagine that European countries like Italy and France offer these benefits, along with the six weeks vacation everyone seems to get.

5. Have you met a "Karen" before? Not the namesake but the unreasonable attitude towards others.
I haven't met a Karen, but I've seen them in the wild. All I can do is shake my head, and feel bad for the victim.

6. What role would you play if you had survived a post apocalyptic nuclear war?
I consider myself a worker bee. I'd probably be helping rebuild things.

If you pick something up at a grocery store and put it back then put it back where and HOW you found it. Yes, somebody has to fix it if you don't and they may be a maladjusted psychopath.

4. Should workplaces offering birthday leave, mental health leave and bereavement days for having a miscarriage? This is a popular discussion right now with my union vs my employer.

Workplaces are gonna **** you if you let them and moralizing the issue is pointless. They don't care. Demand it.

5. Have you met a "Karen" before? Not the namesake but the unreasonable attitude towards others. Can also include a "Darren".

I don't remember an archetypical instance but sure, customers are customer.

Depends on who you ask. But I'd think on the whole no, I wouldn't want to be considered one anyway. I wouldn't want that to be my defining characteristic to people.

2. What colour are your eyes?

Deep blue.

3. Is there something bothering you right now? If you feel okay with talking about it, let us know here.

Housing prices - I want the whole market to crash so it's more affordable for us mere millennials. Let's be honest though, we all worry about things, which things and at which times and for what reasons may be somewhat obscure, but the worries are always there.

4. Should workplaces offering birthday leave, mental health leave and bereavement days for having a miscarriage? This is a popular discussion right now with my union vs my employer.

Birthday leave, no, mental health leave, maybe, bereavement for miscarriage definitely.

5. Have you met a "Karen" before? Not the namesake but the unreasonable attitude towards others. Can also include a "Darren".

I prefer "Ken" for male Karens but yeah, I've met them before. To Trollheart's point, I feel bad for any upstanding Karens out there that have had their name used to categorize these types of people.

6. What role would you play if you had survived a post apocalyptic nuclear war?


I can't really say. It's similar to asking in the past if you would've been swept up in retrespectively terrible groups of people. In all honesty, I'd probably be doing whatever I had to in order to survive. Being technologically savvy, I'd have that going for me, how I'd use it, I don't know. In all honesty, I'd probably be a complete ******* in a post apocalyptic setting, wouldn't trust anyone, would only see others, for the most part, as a means to an end, etc.

1. Are you considered by others to be an intellectual?

I have been known to be of above average intelligence. Pity I didn't do anything with it

2. What colour are your eyes?

Brown

3. Is there something bothering you right now? If you feel okay with talking about it, let us know here.

Yeah, I have this really bad hangnail...

4. Should workplaces offering birthday leave, mental health leave and bereavement days for having a miscarriage? This is a popular discussion right now with my union vs my employer.

I don't know about birthday leave. I do think mental health or bereavement leave for a miscarriaige is something to consider though.

5. Have you met a "Karen" before? Not the namesake but the unreasonable attitude towards others. Can also include a "Darren".

Yes, I know several Karen's and I resent people who have to use their name (or anyone's name except maybe Adolf) as a derogatory term. Maybe call them entitled WASPs or something. I mean how would you like it if they called child molesters by your first name?

6. What role would you play if you had survived a post apocalyptic nuclear war?


Luckily, with my health, I won't have to worry about that, at least not for long anyway.

Brainwashed people are out there saying dumb **** all day and it sucks.

4. Should workplaces offering birthday leave, mental health leave and bereavement days for having a miscarriage? This is a popular discussion right now with my union vs my employer.

Yes but I think unlimited time off would be better. Pair it with a mandatory minimum as well to prevent unspoken limits that lead people to not use any time off.

5. Have you met a "Karen" before? Not the namesake but the unreasonable attitude towards others. Can also include a "Darren".

My whole family, save for a few chill folks on my mom's side.

6. What role would you play if you had survived a post apocalyptic nuclear war?

I think I'd just scavenge on my own or with a small group.

There's always something bothering me. I'm old.

No to birthday leave (thats just silly), yes to the others.

I'm the ultimate Karen boss. Fight me.

Same as now... hood rat.
