Would You Rather: Questions 191 - 200


191. Would you rather have the ability to see minutes into the future or years into the future?

This is interesting...I think minutes in the future would be too much at some point. However, years in the future can be really daunting. Especially so for the psyche. I'll go with minutes into the future, especially in moments of angst or danger. Can there be a limit per year? Maybe, like replay challenges in sports? 

I'd like to use my challenge, please - can I see what will happen in the next few minutes?

192. Would you rather have telekinesis (the ability to move things with your mind) or telepathy (the ability to read minds)?

I want no part of reading other people's minds. Nah uh! Nope! While I often ponder what exactly happens in the minds of others, it's likely one of those thoughts that needs to be left to the imagination. 

Moving things with my mind can be pretty cool. The remote control immediately comes to mind. 

193. Would you rather be forced to sing along or dance to every single song you hear?

Sing. I sort of do this already - I'm a lyrics guy. 

Dancing is reserved only for those songs that evoke an individual's emotions. Just my opinion. 

194. Would you rather find true love today or win the lottery next year?

What if I already have true love? Can I win the lottery next year - and have both?!

195. Would you rather be in jail for five years or be in a coma for a decade?

Hmmm, not sure I want to do jail. Give me the coma. I'll jump ahead ten years and figure it out. 

196. Would you rather be chronically under-dressed or overdressed?

Over-dressed. You can play it off as fashionable. Or, I'm just a thorough person. Underdressed can be sen as disrespectful and leads to too many stigmatizing slippery slopes. 

197. Would you rather have everyone you know be able to read your thoughts or for everyone you know to have access to your Internet history?

I can argue that it likely will be one of the same, especially these days. The number of random things I Google or search. What was that actor's name from that movie...?

My thoughts are mine. You don't need to get in there (as I mentioned above with me with others). Have free rein to judge me through my browser. 

198. Would you rather lose your sight or your memories?

This is a low-key good one. 

Oddly, I think I would choose memories. What are we without our lived experiences?!

199. Would you rather have universal respect or unlimited power?

Respect is what I want to say. But as a human being, unlimited power is VERY tempting. 

So, I give in - give me the POWEERRRRRRRRRR!!!!

200. Would you rather give up air conditioning & heating for the rest of your life or give up the Internet for the rest of your life?

Internet. At one point in my life, this was actually a reality. Weird, but true.

Dome Pondering Move Review: Say You Will (2017)

What is it about? A recent high school graduate cares for his mother while attempting to navigate his first relationship following his father's suicide.  Who is in it? Travis Tope - Sam Nimitz Katherine Hughes - Ellie Vaughn Favorite Scene: [spoiler alert] Sam plays his song for his mom. Favorite Quote: Ellie: "I wish we could have met down the road, maybe when we were like 27." Sam: "I think we needed each other now." Review:  Say You Will was an absolutely pleasant surprise of a watch from the Amazon Prime offerings.  I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with this one, but after the credits rolled, it was a movie that provided authentic characters and a great lesson on life. We don't always have to have everything figured out, and it's okay if you don't.  What makes Say You Will so beautiful is that all of the characters are carrying some inner struggle that connects them in the moment and time that helps them through whatever it is. The unlike...

Dome Pondering - 2025 Year in Review

2025 brought depth and growth.  In many ways, 2025 provided so many challenges and opportunities, allowing for a deeper, more layered approach to the world we live in. Our world is changing, and often, not for the better. Over the last 365 days, life has been more complex, more exhausting, and is asking so much more of us through these transitions and nuances than it did 365 days ago.  No big deal, right?  But hey, you're here. We're here. And we're going into 2026 much stronger, whether we realize it or not. But before we do, let's bid adieu to 2025.  As always, I'm incredibly gratefu l to those of you who still visit this little speck of the internet that houses my thoughts, rambles, and learnings. Thank you for taking a break from instant dopamine hits and videos, and likely the much cooler options of prepared content and indulging my humbled words. It is much appreciated.  It's the 20th annual - TWENTY YEARS of doing this! - Dome Pondering Year in Review. Le...
