smart phones are everywhere! If you can google the question and get an answer, you should not be asking it in a Q&A

So, this is my experience watching a q&a with venture bros creators jackson publick and doc hammer at some various convention. I am extraordinarily jealous of everyone who got to attend, and am eagerly awaiting the Q&A because frequently that's where really cool stuff comes out. At the beginning of the Q&A portion, they say "ok guys don't ask us about spoilers, don't ask us about what e can expect to see in the coming season, don't ask us if X character comes back, we're not going to tell you. Also, please don't suggest ideas to us, because if you suggest them we can't use them! Ok go"
I think there may have been like 2 exceptions, but basically EVERY. SINGLE. QUESTION. was a spoiler question or a suggestion. And not just spoilers, spoiler questions in the exact form warned about in the intro. And their responses were always "uhh, we told you we're not answering those questions, next."

ooh the other day on the metro I was sort of glancing at this cute toddler, and her mom decided that she needed to make eye contact with me. in the midst of the girl trying not to make eye contact with me, mom is explaining how she's shy and hates making eye contact. like, no, it's okay! learning how to make eye contact when the occasion calls for it may be a useful skill, but if your daughter doesn't wanna look me in the eye that's fine! I don't wanna look her in the eye either! I just kept saying "oh no it's fine, she doesn't have to, you don't have to, I was very shy at your age!" and she just kept insisting. It was very awkward.

Unless this dude just has a mega-weird prescription, can't he just like, rifle through shops/bodies to find a similar prescription? Like, I would probably not be able to find a complete eyeglasses twin, but you could just keep swapping glasses until you found a pair that was close enough.

THIS KILLS ME because it means you get into really dumb situations where the mens (single) room is empty, and there's a line of 5 for the women's (single) room. WHY?

when I visit my boyfriend's parents I am always ASTOUNDED by their weird bathroom stuff. In their master bathroom, they have no trash receptacle, and NO SOAP. ??? The truly, truly weird thing is that they do all wash their hands with soap (or at least when I'm around), they just walk like 25 feet to the kitchen, where they wash their hands with DISH SOAP!?! They are not poor, hand soap is not a rare supply, I don't understand why they don't just buy some for their master bath? And why, when they need to throw something away, they would want to walk 25 feet to throw it away. I know that everyone else's family seems weird, but I feel like this is truly strange. The BF does not see the strangeness.

in my work building, we have bathrooms for every floor, and so far the different floor bathrooms I've seen all have different warning signs. Floor 10 is "PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH PAPER TOWELS DOWN THE TOILET". Floor 9 is "PLEASE FLUSH THE TOILET" Floor 8 is "DO NOT FLUSH TAMPONS DOWN THE TOILET THANK YOU." I'm excited to see what different problems floors 1-7 have.

so you can escape if the door lock is broken? even though the only way it ever seems to break is so that it seems like it will stay locked, but the slightest jostle on the outside will make it swing invitingly open.

I have considered donating eggs because I don't know whether I ever want to have kids, but I find the idea of having a kid out there with my DNA weirdly comforting. But ack, the idea of injecting myself over and over again is scary. but not quite as scary as the idea that the people overseeing my medical care wouldn't have my best interests at heart. I am very timid in some ways, and I know I would have a lot of trouble saying "no" to someone in a white lab coat telling me to do something I think isn't healthy for me.
If only I had testicles!
