i just stick around to see how things go, while creating things in hopes that others can live a little more comfortably.

opinions on the concept of things being "taboo", or NSFW?

Don't really like it that much, despite the fact I talk about it a lot. I only like it if its cropped/censored.


What do you think of skinning?

Woah, the first thing that came to mind is peeling the skin off people. I'm going to assume you didn't mean that kind of skinning.

I think skinning is a pretty cool feature. I think that the theming feature that Stepmania has is way more fleshed out, though. It allows you to make custom menus and everything.

The only thing I don't like about skinning is the osu community's tendency to distribute skins using .osk files. I would much prefer if skins were to be posted to the Skinning forum first. That way, the posts could tell if the skin is bad or not.

What are your thoughts on tho Love Live franchise? And who is best girl?

i'm indifferent about Love Live. i'm honestly not sure why, but i just didn't seem to be interested by it.

probably the mood/tone of it.

Being able to hide NSFW is a good way to keep oneself safe in public, just like reddit does.

There are just too many kids in the web, so the option of hiding NSFW is good at least when speaking about parental supervision, yet you can't completely save them for seeing innapropiate content.

About Taboo, it is more like a relative thing.

How tolerant are you to spicy foods?

I am quite tolerant of spicy food for Canadian standart. However I have never really eaten south-american food, which I hear is on a whole other level of spiciness compared to anything that we can even get here in Canada.

Do you believe self-driving car would be better than normal car and why?

definitely depends. there's a lot to consider and we'd have to make some assumptions. in theory, i think self-driving cars are definitely better. vehicles like these are immensely helpful for companies regarding delivery of stock for retail. it's preferable to human occupation as you don't have to pay a robot. it saves those companies money.

in fact, this is exactly what's starting to happen around here in the US, truck-driving is slowly being automated and many drivers are losing jobs because of it-- which is where its negative effect comes into play. with more automation, comes job loss. any rote tasks that can be easily performed will be automated, and that means more efficient work gets done. companies can aid from this. sadly though, those who are unemployed will have no means of income and will need to look for other jobs. a Freedom Dividend of $1000 a month would help them pretty greatly as people look for different occupations, and provides them with mobile income as a floor to stand on, so people can climb out of poverty easier. it's a proposal being put out by 2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang.

sorry, had to bring it up, the idea's fairly important and i'm going to need to spread it around if i want Andrew as my president.

back to the community use of self-driving vehicles. if self-navigation and self-correctional AI is well-developed, and is safe to mass-produce, then those vehicles would be definitely preferable. you're less concerned about user error and more concerned about the vehicle's navigation skills. the problem there is that you'll need to have technology that is advanced enough to be trustworthy on the streets.

it's also likely that these cars would make usage of electric energy, which would be even better, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of fuels used in transportation. seems primarily to be a victory for humanity.

do you believe attending college/university is your most optimal path to your ideal field of work?

As someone from Quebec, definetely. Universtity in Quebec is far cheaper than in the rest of Canada and in the US. I haven't looked into the cost too much but a friend of mine who is currently taking the program that I plan to take told me he had spent 10k CAD for a little over half of the program, which is a considerible amount of money but isn't nearly as bad as some of the ridiculous cost I've seen from american university. Plus, my program would be software engineering, which is a field that is begging for workforce, in fact, tech companies have helped fund the program because of how badly they need workforce in that domain and the program as 2 mandatory paid internship, which helps getting the money to afford university, depending on how good you are, you can even get up to 4 internship. If you can graduate from the software engineering course you'll definetely get a job because of how badly software job are needed. Plus these job offer some very good advantages and salary.

I am really grateful for living in Quebec because of how accessible school is. It is so accessible that university is absolutely worth it, at least in my field. Even if it is a big investisment, having a univeristy course under your belt will not only make it easier to get high paying job but will also teach you a lot about how to program. Some people say that university is useless and doesn't teach anything that is relevent in a real job and only serves as a paper to show in job interview but I don't think it is true for the field of programming. My friend talks about the course he takes and these course seems to teach some important notion to become a great programmer.

Do you believe that having a good education will make you more likely to find success?

In this country, very difficult no matter how educated I am, there's a huge brain drain because of extremely low wages, even by people with doctorates.
If I want to reach actual success I'd better emigrate or something, which is something I don't want to do yet, as I am still studying, and don't want to leave without a degree.

If you could teleport, but just once, where would you teleport?

I don't think I would ever use the power to teleport to anywhere that I couldn't get back from, seeing as how I can't use it again. I would save it for if I'm ever jumped by a gang and I have to teleport anywhere that is not there.

What are your thoughts on the Love Live franchise? And who is best girl?

I remember that love live was one of the very first anime I have watched, and back then it was among my favorite anime. I found the first season decent, but nothing more but when it was when I watched the second season that I fell in love with the franchise.

I still remember the scene on the beach where the group decided to end their group as to keep the name of muse to themselves rather than letting it become a school brand that would no longer represent the nine of them who have worked so hard to break through and get a chance to compete among the best. This scene is by far my favorite of the whole franchise and I can shamelessly say that it made me cry, it was in fact one of the very first scene that managed to make me drop my tears.

Another great scene was the graduation ceremony, which I absolutely loved. I watched that scene when I was in secondary 4, which is the year prior to the final year in Quebec's education system. Back then I thought, "I want to sing love live's graduation song on the day of my own graduation". I was sure I would graduate without any issue, I had extreme ease at school and the content seen in secondary school isn't very difficult. However, come secondary 5, the last year of secondary school, I realised that my weakness in french might cause me to fail. I had always been weak in french but I always managed to pass thanks to the exercise other than writing, since my only weakness as grammar. But this time, the final french exam was different. If you failed one of the three category evaluated in the exam, (content, grammar, structure) you would fail the whole exam.

I feared that I would fail this exam, in fact I didn't think I had the skill to pass it. I thought back at my wish to sing love live's graduation song on my graduation day and realised that though back when I thought of the idea it was just a silly little wish that I didn't care about all that much, over the year that had passed, it had become something that I had started to look forward to. I ended up working as hard as I could not to fail the exam and when the exam came, I desperately wanted to succeed so that I could graduate and sing this song. I always had the tought in my head that failing this course wouldn't be all that bad because the way the school system is made, I could have taken the course again in a specialised course along with a few mandatory course that I would have to take in Cegep, the next level of education. However, I refused to take that route because I felt like I wouldn't truly graduate if I did, and thus, wouldn't be able to sing the song.

I believe that love live is a major reason as to why I so surprisingly managed to pass this critical exam with a grade of 77% despite having failed all of the prior similar exam with grades of around 50% by making around 70 mistake in around 500-600 words if I recall correctly. For that reason it has been of my most dear anime for a long time.


However, after all of the time that I have seen this show, it's magic has faded aways. In fact, I have come to dislike the franchise when I realised just how much of a commercial brand it was with all of it's merch and the coming of love live sunshine. Also, I absolutely despise the movie of the original love live. It is the worst move I have ever seen and I feel as though it is an insult to everything that made love live so great.

If you are asking for best girl, it would be Nico. Her story really surprised me and made her the most genuine character in the series.

Holy shit that answer ended up far longer than I had thought.

Rank the seven deadly sins based on how much you believe you are guilty of comitting them.

#1) Sloth: the primary vice of my being is laziness, inertia, and apathy. i'm plagued by inaction.

#2) Pride: this is actually somewhat subdued, but is present. i aim to perform well.

#4) Greed: i'm satisfied with modest things. generally, some desire to gain exists, but it's rather mild.

#4) Lust: my libido is actually pretty low relative to most others. just not very aroused by people, per se.

#5) Envy: pretty rare, but i do occasionally hope to gain the artistic or musical skill others have.

#6) Wrath: i don't care enough to be angered or inflict wrath on people, with one mild exception. myself.

#7) Gluttony: i actually eat like shit. with a BMI of 15.8, i'm already severely underweight.

this is a good question, i like it.

welp... time for me to look at myself with this... wonder how much of this i am guilty of...
this is not on any order so... here we go

-----

Gluttony - there are a few cases i am guilty of this, but even then i actually eat way less than others. i would be thanking my pickiness if it wasn't for the fact that this is the same pickiness that wouldn't let me eat vegetables for GODS SAKE.

Lust - i have this mostly on my thoughts. the only thing that is preventing me from acting on these desires is my self control.

Sloth - ah yes... a funny little classic for me. i would have considered myself as the embodiment of sloth itself if it wasn't for the fact i don't stay lazy for the whole day. i get tired of my laziness sometimes, and i go ahead and work on something that i don't even need to do.

Envy - i am no person to try and put someone down for the sake of my pleasure. i am the person that would rather shame themself than be bitter about someone's achievement.

Pride - i am prideful sometimes, not in the sense i see myself as above others. if we are talking about the bad type of pride, no... i am way too open-minded for that.

Greed - greed... i hate it... not only by concept, but how people use it in my country... you don't give them a single coin? you don't give them free food? you are now the embodiment of greed. in my opinion, the word lost its meaning to me because of this. i just... don't get it because i am not spoiled with expensive stuff at all... and i am saving up my money and trying to be thrifty.

Wrath - even though i am kind of a hothead. i do not seek vengeance out of pure anger, forgiveness is way better in my opinion.

-----

this is honestly a fun ask to do... so...
same question!

Sloth: I'm usually feeling bad if I sleep less than nine hours daily. I also hate to move, especially when I'm on those moments in where I'm thinking about... things (most of them nonsense). Ah, and I'm too lazy to put this in an order, so you might get an idea.

Lust: Currently controling it. I won't say anything else.

Gluttony: Possibly my worst sin. I like to have something to taste, chew and gulp at all times. If I had the money, I'd buy a pack of assorted cookies and crackers everyday. Even so, I'm losing weight.

Pride: I use to brag, a lot. Unconsciously. About everything. AND MORE THAN YOU.

Wrath: There are few things that make me angry, but these, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. Fortunately, I'm able to recognize when I'm angry on time, so, my head cools quickly.

Envy: After all, everyone you admire in the bottom is a normal person like you and me. We are not better or worse than anyone in average, so at least I don't envy persons. I might envy a favorable situation or something material other person has, but I don't care about that too much.

Greed: Particularly I consider myself as a simple person. I don't want a huge house, a lot of money or else, just the necessary to have a peaceful life, that doesn't mean I won't buy some things for myself once in a while, yet, when we die we won't take anything so I don't care too much.

Possibly one of the best questions asked so far, so. Same Question.

Here I'll answer my own question

1) Greed: This is definetely my worst sin. I value money to an extreme extent and I wish to have as much of it as I can. I don't really buy a lot of things and greed is the reason for this, I just hate the idea of spending my money and I rarely find something that I think is worth my money.

2) Pride: Pride is a sin that I try really hard to deny but that absolutely do exist. In my head I always rank the people around me and I very often find myself ranking myself above others. It's something that I try hard not to do but that I can't seem to get away from. I also often can't accept opinions different than mines. I usually try to knock myself down and to tell myself that I am bad or stupid to control that pride but when I start to receive praise or that I start to do well on a certain subject, my pride goes way out of hand and always ends up messing everything up. Because of that I am actually pretty sensitive about receiving praise and try to neglect them when I do. Because of how high my pride is and how much I despise being that prideful, I try to lower my self-esteem as much as possible so that it doesn't impact my life, which might sound like a bad self-destructive thing to do but it actually helps me a lot, especially on academic, making myself think I suck at something will make me work very hard on it so that I don't suck at it anymore.

3) Wrath: I don't often feel wrath against other person, there are very few subject I feel strongly about enough to genuinly feel wrath and I usually don't even debate that much so I have very few moments I can feel wrath. However, I am incredibly strict on myself and when I start to do poorly, I become incredibly angry at myself and that anger will last for as long as I haven't redeemed my poor ability and started to get good result again. This is especially bad when the thing I am trying to achieve apears to me as easy. If I cannot do something that I think is easy I will be incredibly angry at myself.

4) Sloth: I often feel like I don't want to do anything and end up wasting tons of time and sometimes entire days doing nothing. I am also to lazy to commit to something on a short period of times. So if I only have one free hours, I will tell myself that I will commit myself latter because right now I don't have the time. My sloth also cause me to have fairly low ambition and makes me think that high ambition are out of my reach. It is the reason why it took me so long to commit to play an instrument. I used to think that learning an instrument was out of my reach and it took me a very big event to shake off that thought. In fact, I think that every skill that I can learn is out of my reach. However, when I have to work to acomplish something, I absolutely will. My fear of failure and my wrath against myself if I do fail are far stronger than my sloth and if I feel like I am about to fail I will work as hard as I can not to fail.

5) Lust: I am very good at controlling it and when I see woman in the city wearing suggestive clothing, I am repulsed by it and actively try not to look at them. However, I do masturbate very often, it's just that I really don't want to see erotic things when I am not in the mood to masturbate.

6) Envy: I don't really feel envy. That is a combination of both my high pride and my low ambition. When I see someone, either, I will think that they are worse than me because of my high pride and will thus not have anything to envy them for, even if they are more succeful than me, or I will think that they are far better than me and that their skill are out of my reach and don't envy them because I do not think I can reach their skill.

7) Gluttony: I don't eat all that much and not all that often. To me eating is kind of a waste of time and if I need to stop doing something to go eat, I won't do it because it will cut me off some time that I could spend working on my work. If I actually do go eat in the middle of my work, it's because I am so hungry that I can't think properly and eating will be an investement of time that I make so that I can think clearer and work faster afterward. Very often I am also just too lazy to go eat something, I very often go to sleep hungry and then try to sleep despite my stomach hurting because I don't want to get up.

what's your biggest achievement on osu?

Still to be seen. So far breaking out of the first 2000s rank.

How far do you want to aim in osu!

answer / i quit osu 4 years ago, i didn't want to aim in any direction but i did hit rank 2.

question /

if you could go back 4 years in time what would you have done differently? (osu related)

rank my beatmap lmao

If you could pick any super power what would it be and why?

m u l t i l i n g u a l i s m

because I want to understand what people are saying lol

same question.

probs a lame answer but being able to duplicate myself. max procrastination tactic


same question as above. :^]

Being incorporeal.

Same question!

shape shift into anything. You want a gun you get a gun. You want a NUKE THAT DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE. you got it. You even have a button that kills any enemy.

sry for killing the same question thing but.
If you could pick any super power what would it be and why?

the power to have all powers, i dont think i need to elaborate on that

same question

telekinesis or sychokinesis , cause it's interesting

If you could go to any planet in the solar system, which one?

i'd stick with Earth. it's the most interesting and habitable planet by far.

unless i had the capability of safely transferring various resources and surviving the harsh climates of any other planet for prolonged periods of time, that's pretty much all i can answer with.

- - -

in a scale of 0 to 10 of how valuable they are to you, what would you rate each of your 5 senses and why?

Wrong game but:

Sight: 7/10, I love the fact that life is full of color. Sight allows me to do most things I do in my everyday life. I also like photography so it is very important for me to see.

Hearing: 9/10, By far the most important to me, what can't you do without your hearing? You can orientate, communicate, appreciate music, mantain your balance.

Touch: 5/10. No strong opinion on it.

Taste: 5/10. Other than eating and detecting potentially dangerous substances, what is taste useful for?

Smell: 6/10, I underrated the ability of this sence to evoke memories. Smell is the sense that we remember the best compared to the rest of senses.

What kind of shops are your favorite?

As long as they're still sell fast food.

--------------
2 kinds of question:

If you didn't change your username: Would you consider changing it?

If you already changed: What do you think about it compared to the old one?

Maaaaaaaybe. But I haven't decided.

If you could choose the place and the era to be born, when and where would you choose?

hmmm
Japan. When huh , this is hard.Probably Modern era or Edo period.

What is the most comfortable place you've ever slept?

In 2017, after completing a night hike of around 30 km, I reached my camp at around 4.30 a.m. After showering, I never felt more like sleeping than ever, and I slept soundly on the hard bed. The bed wasn't actually comfortable as compared to my bed at home, but I was just exhausted.

"Balance is the key to everything."
How far do you agree with this statement?

I feel like this is a sort of paradox.
One cannot balance everything.

Have you had a lucid dream?

I have a bad memory so I mostly don't remember my dreams.

Do you consider yourself better then the people closest to you? Like if you think so you think you might have more pp as your top plays.

I find that people that are close to me are better in some things and worse in other things than am I. So in short, not that much.

Have you felt stuck in something you have been doing? Like... not improving?

yeah i think so

What is the most comfortable place you've ever slept?

in the corner of the room yes seriously

being annoyed by parts of furry community?

Honestly, most furry’s i met online (so far) were pretty friendly and nice, so nope.




Do you still get scared at creepy pastas?

Nah.

Have you retaken something you have left before quarantine?

i don't think so.

Do you have someone you'd like to resurrect?

nope

how bad is the covid-19 situation in your country?

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

kind of embarrased to say this but probably my body

what is your favorite sauce to eat with rice?

Rice with sauce?! nani?!
probably hot sauce lmao

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I don't like to add sauces to rice that much, but possibly soy sauce.

Well, if I had to change something...
Maybe if I tolerated stress better.

There is an empty 100-floor apartment building, in which floor would you like to live and why?
Assuming all apartments look the same inside and they're all the same price.

I miss miitomo, this was my favorite question.

I'd say third. I wouldn't like to live in the high floor, not only would it be longer to get up there, I also don't really like being high up and would likely be a bit afraid when looking by the window. But I don't want to be the very first floor. Third is good.

SQ

depends. If there is an elevator i would go high floor cause i want to enjoy the view and top floor apartments rarely have to deal with noise from outside.
If it's using stairs i probably choose 10th floor.

See my Tokyo Teddy Bear project? Yeah that's nostalgia for me. *cries*

Sq

There's a word in Portuguese that has no translation to English (and for some reason is neither present in Spanish). "Saudade", the closest translation is nostalgia but it means more than it. It is the sadness one feels when something you have lost even if you are completely aware that you won't be able to recover it again.

I use to feel saudade quite frequently.

Have you felt saudade as well? What does make you feel it?

Yeah, there are lots of bad memories i remember, which makes me feel sad when i think about it...
