I'm just a 20 year old guy, AMA

20 years old

Maybe just a little

Neither did I, I was just asking…

Nobody has yet! I’ve only been getting into Linux quite recently, I have a Microsoft surface laptop studio that I’d like to put Linux Mint on, but I’ve been a little scared of pulling the trigger so I haven’t yet :(. I did just get an old desktop pc from my dad because he replaced it, I was gonna put Mint on that but it was having some kind of issue with the bios, I ended up putting Kubuntu on it.

I have not

Follow up question, are they all in the usual location

Probably a tie fighter the chick fil a deluxe chicken sandwich seems unfit for space combat

It’s pretty awesome I love bending

I’m just a 20 year old guy

I’m in

As in American Sign Language?

I mean you already know the A/S

Yes, I think since I reached adulthood the longest I’ve stuck to a world was a month, and I actually plan on going back to that same world soon

Pretty good! How about yourself?

How stupid is that question. A hotdog is a taco, it's a fact

I don’t think so personally but I don’t think it’s really something worth dwelling on

I grew up my whole life thinking that I just wouldn’t vote in the election when I could because it just didn’t matter and wasn’t that important . This past one was the first one I was old enough to and boy has my opinion on that changed.

I’m bpt11, or Bryce My quest is to be friends with lots of people and hang out and have fun I really like brown yellow and blue I do not know why I haven’t seen Monty python in a while

I’m honestly not sure cuz I try to stay off of traditional social media. I have a brother just a couple years young than me and I never have any clue what he’s talking about. Something about “low taper fade” and such, I dunno.

I think I’m lacking actual ways to answer this but if I had to guess I feel like they’d just cancel each other out and just disappear

No OP, but the question is flawed. Both can't exist in the same universe according to the standard definition, unless you made a custom definition which would decide whether it can or not.

I’m sitting on a couch rn and it’s probably the comfiest couch in the world I can’t lie

I’ve returned 9 hours later. I think my answer is Red Dead Redemption 2. Not because I’m a rootin tootin crime committing cowboy or anything but I just really appreciate the way Arthur sees and interacts with the world, in a high honor play through at least I’m not sure if it’s different in a low honor run.

I appreciate the way that he acts and talks, he seems like a person that just sees people as people regardless of who they are or how they act. He might poke some fun at people but in the end he’s willing to help out a friend and is there for those around him. Sure he’s not exactly a “good man” given the killing and robbing, all that stuff but I think he has an incredibly kind soul.

It might be cheesy but I feel like that’s how I try to live my life. Regardless of your beliefs your actions your opinions, everyone is a person and I’ll always do my best to help you out if I can. I just try to be kind. I feel like it’s a good way to look at things.

I’ll have to think on this for a bit but I like this question a lot

I feel like my life didn’t really amount to much until I started just doing things rather than thinking about them. Keep track of every idea you have, every time you think “maybe I should try that” or “hmm that seems interesting” and then refer back to it whenever you’re bored. If you ever find yourself doom scrolling or anything like that that’s unproductive refer back to that and give something a go. It’s worth trying.

I’m pretty good. I spent all day baking reading and playing Elden ring it was great

I’d love to be monetized on YouTube, I’m about a third of the way there

That song was pretty good! I liked it. I’ve never heard on Ren but he seems like a cool guy.

Yes

Thanks for introducing me to that song. I love it!

I'd prefer Frederic Cookin.

Nothing much I’m just making two loaves of bread rn

Ask me anything

Short long medium, it doesn’t really matter to me. I think the first character that dies in breaking bad is Crazy 8s partner or cousin or whatever he is, but I don’t remember his name. I would not be able to recognize a lenf node in a microscope, I don’t even know what that is. 20 because I was born 20 years ago.

Anything

I’m doing pretty good today! I’ve been preparing for a New Year’s party and baking a lot of stuff for it, it’s something I like to do a lot so it’s been great so far.

I’m pretty open to any and all music but my favorite genres are rap and hip hop, ex the roots, Tyler the Creator etc, jazz, rock and a bunch of its subgenres, and yeah just a bunch of other stuff. And I do think I’m pretty happy with my life right now. 2025 is off to a pretty great start.

Forgetting how it works and having to relearn it again

I’m unfamiliar with it but based on the image on Wikipedia I choose Citrate because I like Citrus flavors

I really wanna be a dad, and my dream is to own a record store / cafe / thrift store kinda thing

I think the root of being human comes down to the struggles we all face day to day, and overcoming them, moving on, and learning from them. That’s what shapes everybody, their personalities, their strengths and flaws, everything. Everybody’s life story is just a series of struggles and triumphs, many different learning experiences.

Whether or not an AI could become a person is an interesting thought. With the current state of AI I think it’s a definite no. But, I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. The idea of AI being able to actually move on and learn from things seems completely out of the question to me but so did AI doing what it does now just a few years ago.

I’m thinking about the book that was recently turned into a movie “the wild robot”. It’s about a robot named Roz that becomes the mother to an orphaned Duckling who she names Brightbill. I think that I’d argue that she’s a person but that’s not real, she was written by real human people so of course she has very human traits. (Incredible movie and book by the way it made me cry a lot)

I’m not sure if AI will ever get to that point but if it did I guess that’s where I’d draw the line of humanity, and I guess that would count. But I also think that what makes people “people” is very subjective, and I don’t think there’s really any wrong answer. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s just what I think.

As for that last part of your question, people becoming machines, I don’t even know how to answer that. I think it again just comes down to how advanced AI would be in the situation.

I have been unemployed for about 8 months now, I took a 9 month 600 hour marketing course that got me several certifications and helped me start my own projects but have yet to get any employment out of it. My marketing education is actually what helped me open my eyes to how I should care for my privacy more than I do and help others do the same.

I’ve used what I’ve learned to help grow my own projects, but in a way that is respectful and not malicious. Using it for “good instead of evil” if you will. I honestly don’t think I could work professionally in marketing in my right mind, because most people don’t do it the respectful way and it’d honestly make me feel like a bad person, so I’ve actually been mainly looking for jobs outside of it, or only applying for agencies and companies that I think seem trustworthy.

But, I’ve been trying to keep myself busy in the time with those projects, kind of trying to turn that into my job. I have a music blog that I run, I do some freelance writing, and more recently have been pursuing a YouTube, all three of which have seen pretty decent success. I’ve been fortunate enough to be in a situation where I have the freedom to pursue that as I continue my job search, and I have a deep appreciation for those that help and support me. It’s frustrating and sad to do so many interviews week to week and hear nothing back, but I have a great support system so it’s not so bad. And yes, although I do wish I had better income, I do like my job it’s pretty fun :)

tldr, I’ve been lucky enough to use my education to support my own projects as my “job” while I pursue a real job, and I do like it. Sorry for the long and complicated answer, I had a lot to say about it.

I know that people really like mustard so I don’t have any particular problem with it, but I myself do not enjoy mustard so no. Just a preference

I don’t really remember my first fictional childhood crush

I have an iPhone 13

I think that pancakes when done right are the far superior option, but people don’t often do them right so waffles feel safer most of the time

Tenders all the way

I think my favorite game is either Baldurs Gate 3, RDR2, or Hollow Knight. If I’m thinking back real far then Sonic Adventure 2 is a contender too, I played that a lot as a kid

Green is great! I prefer a dark, earthier green but light green isn’t bad.

It is 1:07 AM as I am writing this.

I definitely think ghosts are real.

In 5 years I hope I have 1 or 2 kids, and a nice stable job to provide for them and my wife, living in a cute little house somewhere in the eastern United States

I think I’m the best match cuz I’m awesome 😎

Nope

I’ll look into it. Thank you

I have a soft spot for “Baseball” on the NES idk why

When I was very young (like 4 years old) I was insistent that the game “Parcheesi” was pronounced “Par Chess Ee” and my family will never let me forget that

Turn your head 90 degrees up and you’ll see it

No(?)
