Same question: Would you rather DC just say, "To hell with it," and restore Pre-Crisis continuity, or try, try again to figure out some way to make sense of it all?
Try to make some sense of it. I like parts of the Pre-Crisis universe and parts of post-crisis, post-Zero Hour, post Infinite Crisis, post 52 etc. but I don't want to go backwards. As long as good stories are told and there is some attempt at co-ordination and continuity I won't be too upset. Even Pre-crisis had it's share of continuity problems which is where the multiple earths really come from (and added to the confusion). As long as the stories are good enough the rest will follow. No matter who your favourite characters are they still exist somewhere in some version of reality.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, dude! Turtles are good luck symbols in Japan...and, like, one of my favorite cult musicians, Julian Cope, wore a giant empty turtle shell on the cover of one of his albums! And I love pizza! Radical!
Would you rather have been born before 1955 so you could have actually worked on classic 80s TV cartoons, or born before 1935 so you could have actually worked on classic Silver Age comic books?
Before 1955 to work on cartoons. My personality is just best suited to performing, so I could see myself as a voice actor.
Somebody offers to fund your travels through the world and pay you a nice salary and benefits to boot. But you have to choose a medium to showcase your travels. Would you choose to:
1) write articles for a magazine
2) host a TV or online program /podcast
3) self-publish written work through a blog or website or other social media
4) make your own videos and post them on social media/Youtube
Self-publish a blog
That seems more my speed and allows me to control the narrative more

through a friend. that happened to me recently, though we weren’t set up. The date was visiting my city, and common friend said maybe we should meet up. date and i ended up kind of drunk and mutually attracted, so we acted on it. and we were wondering whether we would tell our friend that we had done naughty stuff.

well that was a long post about another of my dating fails

Ummmm... I'd say neither - I'm pretty happy as it
But I guess the question is about whether I'm more comfortable in my gender or sexuality ... I guess sexuality could change - maybe I could be bi

Lol I would have answered the same thing. I like being a biological male. I like being gay, but I could be bi. I can't imagine being completely hetero though.
