Music I’ll put on when I’m alone: Same as above. I really am letting AI live my life for me. Let me reconsider all of my life choices while I type this.
My always-stop-and-watch movie: Hot Fuzz.
Movie I’ve never seen and never will: The live action Cats one? It looked so bad I think I’d be embarrassed for everyone involved.
Favorite season: Fall
Pet peeve: Flat-earthers. For obvious reasons, but also because I can’t help but engage with the content on Instagram because I find it so incredibly stupid. “The horizon looks flat, so the Earth must be flat.” Like, my man, the earth is 25,000 miles in circumference. That’s way too big for someone to notice a curvature from just a few feet above its surface, especially when at sea level the horizon is only like 3 miles away. “Pilots never adjust for curvature, and if the Earth was round, they’d be dipping the nose all the time.” Really? Airplanes maintain altitude by keeping a constant angle to the Earth’s surface, which already accounts for curvature. Whatever, this is where I sound unhinged. It’s one of those communities that believes something sowholeheartedly but also seems completely unwilling to spend as much time thinking through their own arguments as they spend trying to debunk science.
Hope all that helps!

Jude,
I honestly couldn’t love these answers more, and yes they’re very helpful, but I’m just cracking up that most of the time, people answer the pet peeve question with something like, “When people don’t use their turn signals” or “When businesses have the air-conditioning on too high” and you’re like, “Here’s a dissertation about physics.”

Veronica,
I mean, both of those examples are also annoying, but not nearly as annoying as flat-earthers. What’s your pet peeve?
-Jude
Oh, that’s simple: It’s the fact that I must get an entirely new set of cords and charging blocks and God knows what else every time I upgrade one of my devices. Like please don’t tell me that this specific USB is so much better than the old USB that you need to make me pay hundreds of dollars to have everything be able to simply charge a phone.

So you’re saying your pet peeve is ... capitalism.
-J
Hahahah omg yes, that’s true and I’m in marketing. Shit I’m a hypocrite.
