I'm late to the party, but I don't think there is anything wrong with asking someone to talk a bit about their self in an attempt to get to know them better. The context is very important however. If you and this person have been talking one on one for a bit already, maybe something like "I have enjoyed talking to you, can I ask you to tell me a bit about yourself so I can get to know you better?" Is an appropriate way to go about it. I'm not sure if the person you are talking about is someone you met in real life or on the internet.

As far as the internet goes, a/s/l was a very popular question to ask 20 years ago in chat rooms but probably wouldn't go as well on modern social media. For that reason I don't think straight up asking "can you describe yourself in a paragraph" would work very well either. Most people dont seem to use social media as a way to get to know the other users on a personal level. It almost feels like it's against the point of 'social' media, but most interactions I've seen between users are brief and users go on their way after a few posts. Especially sites like Lemmy where we don't provide personal information. On the other hand, Lemmy is very small and if you find someone with a shared interest in a niche community, i think its ok to reach out, but maybe try to just keep the conversation on that topic.

If you're talking to someone in real life maybe try the previous suggestion. Or skip it all together and invite them to hang out somewhere. No better way to learn about a person than by spending time with them. And by doing that, there is less of a chance of making them uncomfortable by talking about their self.

I saved a few hundred dollars on textbooks with Z-Library. I've been impressed with their mobile app too!

My ps3 got what I called "the yellow light of death". They both had the same issue.

I'm not even aware of any ps3/xbox360 games that are fully contained on discord. Maybe Orange Box?

My penis is very difficult arduous

I have never made that connection before but I think you're 100% right!

I have no idea how to begin measuring that.

Any of that can happen just by stepping outside of your house.

By that logic no person in the world is talented at anything lol. I don't disagree with the idea that people are allowed to hold the opinion Kanye has never been a good artist, but I'm not sure what point you're trying to go for.

I haven't tried super hard, but season 5 of Tim and Eric's Aweseome Show Great Job is the only one I can't get. I found one torrent, but there are no seeders.

A McChicken is definitely not worth more than $1 lol

I was told I could go to school the day after my wisdom teeth were taken. I took my dose of hydrocodone before heading to school and have no memory of that day at all. I never took the rest. Somehow I had no pain whatsoever after my wisdom teeth were removed and it was almost as if it never happened. Other people I know needed to take a week off.

That looks like the part that makes it a joke to me

Seemed like the perfect opportunity to teach a 5 year old that stealing isn't okay without escalating the situation with the use of racial slurs.

A 5 year old taking your personal belongings is cause for a learning opportunity. Anyone who would call their self a victim is just pathetic.

Peggle! It's a very fun and unique brickbreaker with lots of silly and cute characters, art, and music.

Not super girly/pink overall, but can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone.

Billion Dollar Movie is quite the experience

I was ready to argue your point until you mentioned Southpark. Actually I still think its bullshit. Are the differences between men and women that much greater than the differences between Curry and Ming?

The couple in the picture aren't the ones having the conversation. Each person talking is out of frame on either side and awkwardly talking past the couple we see.

Can you link to these facts? I admit I have no doubt in my mind the website is at best a parody and at worst bullshit. But I feel I'm open minded enough that I'll take a look at any facts you have to present. I tried to take a look for myself but everything I found on that sight seems like old man yelling at clouds.

Also I'm curious as to what you mean when you say I can cherrypick all I want? What is that in reference to?
