I prefer Gordon Ramsey’s content outside of the US better because he is often less angry for angriness sake, and often because someone is doing something that will get someone sick or hurt. To me, that is what healthy anger looks like. An alert system that drives you to make changes and demand changes of others for the benefit and safety of everyone.

That probably isn’t worded the best, and I am no philosopher or psychiatrist, but it is a worldview that has been healthy and helpful for me.

Anxiety meds typically a few days to start to notice. Depression meds either had severe negative side effects almost immediately, or positive effects would start showing up after 2 or 3 weeks.

I consider myself to be more pro AI than not, but I’m certainly not a zealot and mostly agree with the take that it shouldn’t be used in artistic pursuits. However, I love using AI to help me create art. It can give great critiques, often good advice on how to improve, and is great for rapid experimentation and prototyping. I actually used it this weekend to see what a D&D mini might look like with different color schemes before painting it. I could have done the same with Gimp, but it would have taken much longer for worse results that was ultimately just for a brain storming session. How do you feel about my AI usage from your perspective? I suppose from an energy conservation perspective, all of it was bad, but I’m more interested in a less trivial take.

Having a slug come into contact with my feet or my socks or my shoes, but only if I am wearing them at the time. Anywhere else on my body is fine. I don’t know what harm will come from this occuring. I do know it is fine if a slug is touching my shoe, I pick it off, and then put on the shoe. My fear of snails is likely but unverified.

On the contrary, someone can learn a lot from a question like this. If they immediately spit out the answer, then I know that they studied and came prepared to answer common questions like that. If they give a response like the OP, then I know they are an asshole to work with. If they don’t know, do they ask follow up questions or ask for a moment to think can tell me how well they like to work in a group. If they talk about asking a coworker vs researching a solution independently first can tell me how they may react to a brick wall of a problem. Last thing that comes to my mind, is how long they try before giving up. That can be a good indicator for how they treat work meetings - do they push through the task one at a time and in exact order, or do they have the social skills to know when it is time to shut up and move on to the next thing.
