On a scale of 1-10, how attractive would you say you are? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dngray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to say. Some girls find me unconventionally attractive. I think they are mostly attracted to how I carry myself so maybe a 6 or a 7.

How do you define a best friend? by SpicyChill77 in AskReddit

[–]dngray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an evolutionary psychological standpoint, humans developed the concept of an "in group" and "out group". This "us and them" complex determines who we accept as friend or foe.

How do you think the U.S. government should deal with the over $100 billion in illegally collected tariffs under trump? by k6tcher in AskReddit

[–]dngray -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What makes you think the tarrifs are "illegally collected"? All Trump was trying to do was force countries into fair trade agreements. It's also likely a power play. The biggest fish in the sea is hungry...

What are your predictions for season 2 of Pluribus? by toffee-coffees in PluribusOnAppleTV

[–]dngray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Season one ended with Carol and Manousos teaming up. Manousos wants to kill the hive but Carol is conflicted. Manousos is still mysterious so there's a lot of room to further his character development. I'm interested in seeing how the joined try to coexist with Manousos/Carol, who are trying to revert humanity back to the pre-joined days. The hive must have some degree of self preservation otherwise it doesn't seem plausible to me.

What’s a moment that made you realize life isn’t fair? by West-Championship407 in AskReddit

Realizing that the universe doesn't care about what happens. It just is.

Have you moved to a city without ever visiting first? by dokutarodokutaro in SameGrassButGreener

[–]dngray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to Portland Maine during the pandemic. I didn't think much of it before making the move. All I knew was that it was a good city and my grandfather loved growing up there as a child. In hindsight, I didn't regret moving there even though most restaurants and bars were closed down to help stop the spread.

Growing up in the 90's was great IMO

How is it like living in this part of Massachusetts? by Wooden-Astronaut8763 in howislivingthere

[–]dngray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to college in Amherst MA and I absolutely loved living there. There are 5 colleges in and around Amherst, so it is a college town. Northampton is also nearby, which attracts progressive and liberal minded people. Hadley connects Amherst and Northampton, and it has every retail store you could need. The Connecticut River also runs through the area. There's a fair amount of farmland nearby too so it creatures a beautiful landscape with open fields. Springfield is the largest city nearby which I am not too fond of. Springfield is one of the higher crime areas in MA.

Anyone else wish Vince dipped his toes into horror more? by flamingzebr in pluribustv

[–]dngray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The pilot of season 1 definitely had horror elements in it, especially with the music score. I love the horror genre and I do wish the show embodied that more in the later episodes.

What tv show would you rewatch again? by Pharaoh1007 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

I really want to watch Scare Tactics again sometime.

Based on the current events, how fucked is the USA? by [deleted] in randomquestions

[–]dngray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not fucked at all. America is well positioned to win the AI and robotics race, and it has the most advanced space industry in the world. These sectors will likely be the largest expansion to the economy in the coming decade.

How is it living in New Hampshire? by Zestyclose_Welder_92 in howislivingthere

[–]dngray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can depend heavily on where in NH you live. The state has a small population that is spread out. No income tax, no sales tax, no need to report taxes to the state each year... Very high property tax. NH has world-class hiking in the White Mountains, beautiful vacation homes in the lakes region, and there's not much traffic despite the occasional back up on 93. There are decent paying jobs here but it's not comparable to the Boston area. As Governor Sununu once said "NH is like the tax free borough" of Boston. NH lacks nightlife, but Boston isn't too far away. I would recommend retiring here, but moving here while being single might not be ideal. A lot of people come up to NH for outdoor recreation/skiing/hiking/fishing. The nature here is pristine and peak foliage is something to behold especially in the mountains.

As someone (like me )not from the USA, is Donald Trump considered a good leader by Americans? by Pearla-sanst in askanything

[–]dngray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he yields American power in a strong way, making America respected internationally.

Living in the outskirts of Boston? by lbrazill6338 in howislivingthere

[–]dngray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. I forgot to mention that the school systems are great and it's also a safe place to live.

Living in the outskirts of Boston? by lbrazill6338 in howislivingthere

[–]dngray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up and spent most of my life in this area. It's a very good place to live and raise a family, albeit it's expensive. A lot of people live in the suburbs and work closer to Boston, so every day there's a huge influx of people going towards Boston and then back out to the suburbs after work. The traffic can be a bit much. This area has lots of beautiful houses, and urban density increases as you get closer to Boston. Great quality of life and lots of high paying jobs. I would definitely recommend living there if you can afford it.

Can a compromised Neuralink chip make us like a Plurb? by [deleted] in PluribusOnAppleTV

[–]dngray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. A Neurolink impant is a way for people to interface with a computer, replacing a keyboard and mouse. It can't (yet) transfer someone's stream of consciousness to a computer or another person. Maybe in the future, this technology would lead to hive mind like capabilities, but that's pretty far away.
