I also love talking to random strangers, do you see any problems with this?
I love it too, it might be a sickness, or my own innate need to help people. I don't know. I don't like to analyze it.
Best policy withhold all advice, shove it down, till someone asks. The worst kind of advice is the unsolicited advice that is vague and doesn't meet the situation. If someone asks you, let loose, and go talk to the strangers that is how you build friendships and meet people. They were old things called social skills that people somehow grew afraid of, and I don't see a problem with talking to new people. Good luck.
Thank-you!
I think you give excellent advice

Who doesn't like lizards?
Some people might be scared of them at first, they just need the opportunity to meet them when they are comfortable with it instead of it being thrust upon them because it means that you cared enough for their comfort to be aware of what they needed in that situation. However, if they tell you to get rid of your lizards (all of them) or call you weird for liking them, then they aren't going to be the best match for you.
I think I need advice on this but don't know how to word it
Well it is about being conscientious of another person, of the fact that every single person you interact with has had their own experiences. Some may be more open to trying new things, some may be traumatized from something they experienced before and are scared. That is ok, it is a spectrum. Understanding that takes time and effort to get to know the person you are talking to, and it requires building trust in your relationship, no matter how brief they may be. So best policy is talking to the person, find out what they like and what they dislike, and ask them if they want to try new things together. If you need more advice, maybe send me an email if that works better for you.2 -

What do you say to the drowners who have 20,000+ comment posts and live to just drown out what anyone else is saying? I have decided they ruin MFP and it is no longer a forum where we can just connect. So, I just do my thing, which is working extremely well, and pretty much avoid commenting because of drowners. What do you think of these spoilers?3

we're very low level right now so we're easy to kill, but we also don't murderhobo everything in sight either, so hit points don't matter too much. i'm the fighter so whatever character they play is prob going to stay behind me most of the game anyhow if that helps.
Chicken Salad
Did you quote the wrong thing? LOL
I did not.
Chicken Salad is an appropriate answer to most of life's questions.

This is a great and timely question. I'm struggling with this right now, with only three rolls left. I keep telling myself I need to buy more, but at the same time something tells me I can wait. I eagerly await the response.

I really like my .40 cal, but I'm worried that in the zombie apocalypse that 9mm will be much more available. Should I switch?
Truth is that if a zombie apocalypse happened I would prefer to be dead because it would smell horrendous. Like full on the smell of rotting flesh, and dead corpses walking around, dried fluids everywhere and from experience that smell is the stuff of nightmares. My life would lose all meaning. I think I need to refer you to a zombie apocalypse specialist. But for the gun, whichever makes you happiest to use in a gun range following the laws of the land should be the one that you use. Just practice gun safety and enjoy yourself when it is in use.1 -

I think if the activities of other people are chasing you away from doing something you like to do, that isn't harming any other person but gives you peace of mind, then it is a good time to take a break. Pull yourself together and get back to doing your thing. People who have a negative mindset of other people, and the world will always be in every group anywhere you go, but don't let it take away from doing the things that you enjoy. If they ruin MFP in some of the community chats, start a new one, aimed at like minded people. You can avoid commenting if that brings you peace of mind, but if you want to comment then you should. My take on it is keep going, be positive cause that is the best way to take on life and it's challenges. 5 -
I don't know why, but I love talking to random strangers, it always new and interesting.
I only give advice to strangers if they ask me a question, then I answer them quite literally, I am a horrible liar and don't even bother trying usually. I if suspect my answer may be hurtful I do my best to be evasive in a truthful way.0 -
Did Sinbad Play a Genie in the Movie Shazam and Then Did He Move Into My House?
Kind of confused with the cultural reference. I may need to open this up to anyone who has seen Shazam. And is Then Did He Move Into My House a movie title or do you think Sinbad moved into your actual house? Cause if Sinbad moved in, that would be an adventure and possibly a good, but destructive time. A Genie on the other hand depends on which mythology it follows. Either way deep breath and you may need to google this. I don't think I have advice that works for this situation. If you find something, keep me posted:) 0 -

I consider myself very truthful and blunt, think Sheldon from Big Bang Theory except female, but if my friend is facing the fact they have a horrendous disease, you bet I am going to lie to them and say everything they do is sunshine and roses cause they need that at the moment. And I will sincerely mean it. Longer we are friends, and the better they physically are, I can reign that impulse in a be truthful in a nicer more tactful way. It is the only time tact actually exists in my world. But yes in some instances I understand being evasive. When it's needed it is needed. 1 -

At parties I seem to be very good at killing conversations and creating awkward silence.

Alright, so I had my fun, got to have a moment where I got to spend off my inner need to help people and hopefully not come off as having a superiority complex with my stuff altogether cause that is a lie. Off to the physical world now. And if this thread lives on, I hope that you spread positive thoughts and humor. All the best.0

Some people might be scared of them at first, they just need the opportunity to meet them when they are comfortable with it instead of it being thrust upon them because it means that you cared enough for their comfort to be aware of what they needed in that situation.

Well it is about being conscientious of another person, of the fact that every single person you interact with has had their own experiences. Some may be more open to trying new things, some may be traumatized from something they experienced before and are scared. That is ok, it is a spectrum. Understanding that takes time and effort to get to know the person you are talking to, and it requires building trust in your relationship, no matter how brief they may be. So best policy is talking to the person, find out what they like and what they dislike, and ask them if they want to try new things together. If you need more advice, maybe send me an email if that works better for you.
So on a first date for example I just outright ask what makes them uncomfortable? Or maybe just bring out one lizard like casually and see what they say and gradually introduce more lizards?
Only cause I saw this before I walked away. How about go on the first date, find out if you have similar interests and let the conversation flow and bring up the topic of lizards somewhere in the middle of the date. Tell them that you really like lizards, see if they like them too or ask them have ever seen one in person. Ask would they want to in the future? You can set it up so that you have a second date. Tell them you have 'x' number of lizards and ask them if they would like to see one of them on the next date, in an open area preferably in daylight so they can take in how nice the lizard is, then if things still progress to date number 3/'n' ask them to come over maybe in a group/social situation like a game night with friends to see the lizards that you do have. As you get to know one another it won't be so much a formula you will be comfortable with talking with one another.1 -
