debates!
here's a thread where you can (hence the name) debate stuff. not any controversial topics obviously but things like-
whoa or woah? (i posted this one on the random thoughts/things thread)
when wearing a backpack, is it better to wear one or two straps?
is a hotdog a sandwich?
is cereal a soup?
what's the best pizza topping?
should macaroni and cheese be eaten with a spoon or fork?
and so on and so forth. feel free to add your own topics for people to debate, and you can also do a rebuttal (counter-argument) to someone's point as long as you keep it respectful. happy debating!

same! i was sort of surprised at all the two-strap people. i know it's better technically to wear two straps but one is a lot faster to put on/take off, especially for someone like me who a) has long hair that's a pain to remove from under my backpack and 2) who usually wears clothes with hoods so that also gets in the way if i wear two straps.
about the number seven- i do like the way it looks with the line, but i think it works either way.
movies or tv shows?

The thing is when I do one strap, my water bottle falls out :/
but yeah sometimes it is more efficient
I like both! Movies and TV shows
(October 23, 2023 - 4:40 pm)
I like TV shows

To Fallen Leaf:
-I can't decide between whoa and woah
-2 straps, otherwise it's uncomfy!
-I don't think of hotdogs as sandwiches, but I guess they technically are
-Cereal is definitely not a soup- soups are best hot, and you eat cereal cold
-Pepperoni is the best pizza topping (and I do like pineapple on pizza!)
-Mac & cheese should be eaten with both: first fork, then spoon
To Poinsettia:
-Saturday is better than Sunday because it's the first day of the weekend. And I always get headaches on Sundays :/
-Strawberries are best!
-The number 7 shouldn't be written with a line through it, except if you have really bad handwriting and people can't tell the difference
To Cloud Bunny:
-Fantasy books forever!! The world is already turning into science fiction anyway
-I like rain, but only for 1 or 2 days. After that I need some vitamin D!
To Moonwolf:
-Invisibility. As much as I want to fly, I'd be too scared to do it.
-Soda or juice? Neither! I like water.
-Endurance. I think it's more impressive.
-Hard decision, but I think I'd go with stories.
-Definitely privacy. I'm an introvert and I would die if I had to have publicity!
More debates:
-Chocolate or vanilla icecream??
(October 26, 2023 - 1:10 pm)

(October 29, 2023 - 11:06 am)
Vanilla vanilla vanilla.
oxford commas? Always!

My answers:
Straps: I do both. If it’s a shorter walk and idc then one, but usually two
Hotdog: no
Cereal: yes
Pizza: cheeeeese
Mac: spooooon
Pineapple: personally I hate pineapple (but not the wof character) so not for me but idc if others want it
Sat or sun: Saturday. I love my shul
Fruit: strawberries (all bc of kinkajou) and also raspberries when you put them on your fingers like little hats and then you steal your fingers’s little hat and go nom nom
7: totally that’s how I write them also z
Fries/tots: fries
Books: fantasy
Weather: both for diff moods
Living forever: gosh it’d be horrible. watching everyone you care about die? no thanks
Books/movies: books all the way. for me its easier to melt into another world while reading rather than watching. also that way I can imagine things for myself without having a different person's perspective/specific ideas shoved into my mind
Accent: yes
P-food: both?
Smoothie: now that I think about it, yes
One: okay so I do both... depends on how much I'm rushing
Beverages: either one, honestly. I just hate pulp.
Speed or: endurance for sure
Poems/stories: poems can look like stories. You can make stories out of poems. And you get an extra mystical feel often
Public/private: heck privacy people are confusing why would I wanna be with real people constantly when I can be happy for once in my own world with my characters?
Tv/movies: tv shows. you can get more
Ice cream: vanilla, especially with rainbow sprinkles, though my fav is cotton candy
Comma: yessss
my debates:
- sun or moon? (Moon. Yes I'm a child of Apollo, can't stop me from likin' the moon better though)
- cool colors or warm colors? (cool)
- painting or coloring? (coloring)
- watercolors or acrylics or oil paints? (watercolor)
- time travel or mind-reading? (time travel, thb)
- which is better: being lonely in a crowd or being ignored? (I have no idea)
(October 30, 2023 - 7:57 pm)
Both
Both
Coloring
idk
mind-reading definitely
being ignored. All the way. You can be alone and not be lonely. In fact, I'm rarely lonely alone, I'm only lonely in crowds. And so I isolate myself. So I can be happier. And I get scolded for doing so. And I'm told doing that is what makes me not happy, get out of my comfort zone, so I'm not able to retreat to the place I feel safe and where life is beautiful and so I have to hide it when I do and then I feel terrible for doing so. Ugh. I like it when I'm ignored. It means more time to myself, not having to deal with other people, doing what I want to do how I want to do it. It means I don't have to (pretend to) feel bad for being antisocial and, okay, maybe a bit unfriendly. How do you be friendly? Why should you be friendly? They're not my friends. I abandoned my friends at your urgings. I gave in. I decided to come out of my zone. Now look where I am now. Friendless (maybe). Lonely. But it's a good education. And it's a beautiful day not a cloud in sight so I guess I'm doing alrighttt :)
welp, so they came out. Debate topic: too much or too little?
(October 31, 2023 - 12:16 am)
