so like I'm a trans guy and I'm stuck between a couple of names can you help me pick:

Chris (pros: begins with same letter as my deadname, have been using it for a while. cons: gender neutral so people just assume I'm a girl, now strikes fear into my heart after my parents found out I was going by it)

Owen (pros: sounds cool. cons: automatically nearly introduce myself as Owen Wilson (my surname is very close to Wilson and its an issue. I go by Owen online to avoid sharing my real name)

Alec (yes now we get to why I'm asking you) (pros: sounds cool. cons: my friend will not stop making shadowhunters jokes)

Corin (pros: I CAN NAME MYSELF AFTER DOCTOR WHO, sounds awesome. cons: I will absolutely not pass as cis, may get called Colin)

help. also like any other suggestions would be nice.

Never choose Alec

I'd suggest Owen, if you already go by that name.

i am going to make banitsa at school soon, would you like to try some after i make it. it is yummy i promise

I don't really trust food made in schools. All those grimy little hands all over the equipment. Terrible

When my daughter was in first year (eleven) she used to bring home half-raw, tinfoil wrapped food. It wasn't brilliant but we pretended to like it anyway. She still can't cook, so maybe we should have been more honest with our feedback

[detective-inspector-hardy]

Trolley Problem

Daisy Hardy on one track

Half of the world's population on the other (may or may not include other people you care about)

You have the switch

What are you doing?

I mean, half the world's population is a HUGE amount of people. That's a STACK. The chances of those "people (I) care about" being anywhere near the front is pretty low, in all those billions of people. How big is this trolley? It won't even dent that lot. They'll have died by human crushing before it hits them, if it even does.

Hell, Daisy will probably have died from the crush as well. They can hardly all fit on one track. And, if I did save all those people, they're now stranded, crushed together on one train track. How will they all leave? Mass migration? That'll cause even more deaths. Billions of people all shoved together on one track is begging for a mass grave regardless of where that stupid trolley goes.

But anyway, my answer is shoving you in front of the trolley and hoping your body stops it

(Hypothetically)

[detective-inspector-hardy]

Do you think that if every human on earth fell into the sea at the same time the water displacement would cause a tsunami big enough to wipe out the planet?

Alternatively

Have you ever tried animal crackers and if so Why? Why? Animal crackers? At your big age?

Probably? Sounds fairly plausible. Are you planning some sort of mass dunking?

Alternatively

No
