I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.

How do therapists avoid trying to self-treat their issues that they really can't self-treat?
Given the resources to accomplish it, what wildly impractical project would you finally pursue?
Does having fur help or hinder animals like otters/beavers/polar bears when they swim about?
What would you do if you could unconditionally duplicate yourself?
If you've worked for a non-profit in a paid position, how's your experience been?
Which types of work suit those that prefer to work alone, or with smaller teams?
[International] How do you go about your job searches?
The [International] tag is meant to be broadly inclusive, for those wondering, as I'm interested in this subject from all nationalities/continents. I'm guessing the methods may be somewhat similar, but never know how they might be better elsewhere till you ask!
Like The Animatrix? Have you watched Robot Carnival? ( en.wikipedia.org )

Where to find online communities of people making stuff mainly as a hobby?
Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.
Does sociology extend to other social animals besides humans?
If sociology's exclusive to humans, then what might be the field of other social animal research?
What's been an interesting safe for life linkhole you've found on the web recently?
There's probably a different word for it, but linkhole like rabbithole....
What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help?

Are there any typewriters still in production for those after a classic style of typewriting?
Do others feel somewhat conflicted talking positively about commercial goods/services?
Sometimes I feel like if I do so I'm basically serving as an ad, and I don't really care for that, especially if later I find that the business was scummy in some ways (which is often the case, especially later as it changes leadership/ownership)....
Would it be okay to also use this community to promote developing communities and instances?
Perhaps after some amount of time having announced themselves over in !newcommunities and !communitypromo, or...I don't know if there are communities for instances (the fediverse communities, presumably?), but likewise for them?...
What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help?
I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.
For podcast/audiobook listeners that multitask, do you follow all of what's being discussed/said as you listen & do other stuff?
I've read a lot of people talk about doing this, and I kinda follow, but also: almost any time I've tried it ends up becoming background noise and I follow almost none of it. Are those of you that do this doing simpler tasks as you listen?
Where does the money from sales of products of defunct companies tend to go...?
I know this will vary a lot with each product, but I'm curious about all the different weird ways this goes down in different industries....
Are there ActivityPub servers that can see others without necessarily connecting to them to better enable connections?
By this I sort of mean like, in the case of Lemmy for example, something like a built-in Lemmyverse of sorts....
How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?
I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I'm curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things....
How much do people still follow entertainment media reviews today?
I know there's occasionally some backlash to reviews that go against a broader positive reception to some media, but do that many people still follow reviews to decide what to check out?...
What's the draw of watching/following streamers?
I've watched some here and there, but having to try to catch them when they stream has put me too much in the mind of old tv and catching shows when they air. Watching the recording afterward is maybe good for some white noise, but it's clearly not the intended experience I think.
