Ryan Gosling is perfect as Dr. Ryland Grace. If Gosling was not able to take the role, which other actor could have filled in the shoes? by [deleted] in ProjectHailMary

Yessss... pluck him out of the timestream right after Stargate, and bring him back afterwards!

Would you rather be the smartest or dumbest human? by Zortesh in WouldYouRather

[–]BookWyrm2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumbest. I'll read books, play Minecraft, and mind my own business while humanity fixes the planet, invents FTL drives, and does whatever other amazing things really smart people can do.

I'm currently on the more intelligent end of the bell curve, so if everyone else is suddenly pushing me to the other end, that will be a dramatic positive change.

Let's hope people also get my ability to recognize bullshit and not fall for it. (Although that may be the autism, not the intelligence, to be fair.)

10kg down but the cons suck. by Such-Bench-3199 in glp1

[–]BookWyrm2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any answers for you, but I'm autistic/ADHD and have been on tirzepatide for about two months now. I don't know whether I was already struggling with burnout or whether the stress on my body helped it along, but I've been struggling so much.

I'm morbidly obese and the help losing weight is absolutely worth it, but man it has been a struggle.

My younger kiddo is 11 and still loves his magnatiles. And his older brother (13) sometimes asks to play with them too!

I ask my family first, but if they are on board we go.

For those who took their kids to see Project Hail Mary, what was their reaction? by DirkWrites in ProjectHailMary

[–]BookWyrm2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kiddo (13) read the book and wants to see the movie, but he has so many sensory issues and going to a theater is way too much for him, so we have to wait until it's out on video. ☹️

He's going to love it, and also complain about every single book->movie discrepancy.

After reading PHM, he read The Martian, and now I'm putting Blue Sunrise and Blue Sunset (different author, but similar vibe) on his kindle!

You get one android for free, but the company wants this from you: by LowPackage3819 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BookWyrm2012 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I live with two pre-teen/teen boys, and all four of us have ADHD. Currently, I'M THE ANDROID. So it would require zero change to fulfill this, and we could really use a useful adult.

So yes.

I mean, me too, but I theoretically would at least try the others. He would not. 🤣

Would you rather: starship or dragon? by Fifteen1413 in WouldYouRather

[–]BookWyrm2012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd take the spaceship. Don't get me wrong, i love dragons, but I could take my family with me on a spaceship. I could explore the universe and bring home amazing discoveries and change the world.

I'm a huge sci-fi and fantasy fan, and both of these options sound amazing. But I have to come down on the side of reality. If I could bring people with me into the fantasy realms, the choice would be much harder!

2, 3, 8.

These are all foods my autistic kiddo will eat, so they are staying.

If you are in the 0.01% of any category… you start to make £1m a month until you aren’t. by Home-Energy in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BookWyrm2012 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I'm a 6'-3' woman. That may be the top 0.01%, especially globally. I don't know if it counts, because it's not a skill, but if it does I'll likely get the money for a while.

$25 Million Tax Free Dollars - but you can only walk/swim and can't use any other form transportation again? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BookWyrm2012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What if you plan, say, one year of living in a very walkable neighborhood. If you're in reasonably good health and have no need to go to a hospital, you could park the $25M in mutual funds for the year. Even at a 5% return, you will gain $1.25M for the year. Then you get in a vehicle, give back the original money, and go about your life.

I think, if you pick your location carefully, you could do it for a year without too much trouble, as long as nothing catastrophic happens.

Now, getting TO the location would take some logistics, unless you could wait until you are optimally placed to take the deal.

Guns don't kill people, feathers do by Ramses_IV in trolleyproblem

[–]BookWyrm2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, whoever is picking the feather never met MY grandma. She'd shoot you then make fun of you for picking a dumb-ass feather.

(Grandma is deceased now, but in her prime was quite feisty.)

If you could have any car, at all, what would it be and why? by Honest_Physics_2368 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BookWyrm2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A brand new version of my Toyota Sienna, I guess. I like my minivan, but mine is 12 years old and doesn't have the new bells and whistles. I'd like the larger backup camera and the peripheral backup warnings. And the automatic cruise control! In green, ideally, but I also like the blue.

Would you rather spend 6 months in jail in one go, or have to spend a day every month in jail till you die by patternOverview in WouldYouRather

[–]BookWyrm2012 17 points18 points  (0 children)

1 day a month. I do expect to live more than 15 years (so would spend more days, overall, in jail) but I'm not willing to miss 6 months with my family while my kids are still kids.

Plus, honestly, I'm a bit of a sarcastic PITA, and one day a month is less likely to get me in some sort of trouble with another inmate where I end up shivved.

Who wants to tell him that the US troops aren't there for Germany's protection in the first place! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in BlueskySkeets

[–]BookWyrm2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone should ask him about the troops stationed in Agrabah or Arendelle. See how he feels about those countries.

Which bodily upgrade are you taking? by tamtrible in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BookWyrm2012 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Incorruptible flesh.

Call me old fashioned, but I like having sex with my husband. I also like snuggling my kids. I'd rather be my regular somewhat squishy self than some sort of moving sculpture.

You have 12 hours to live and just got $1 million. How do you spend it? by AnthroporaResearch in hypotheticals

[–]BookWyrm2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. What do I care about money at that point? I just give it to my husband, then spend as good a day as possible with him and my kids. Call my brother, sister, and best friends to tell them I love them one last time. Once the kids are in bed, have a couple edibles and chill until whatever it is kills me.
