...? Sorry? I’m not straight. No hubby for me, and no, I’m not in the market.

Oh, hobby!
None. I’m not a filthy casual.

@AtuM
That is the official standard answer you get from the ones that prepared by googling "interview questions best answers".

@AtuM Pro Tip: take up something that involves teamwork and / or social responsibility.

That's something many interviewers consider a good thing, plus, you can grab some karma and do something for the community.

@ilPinguino maybe she kills and tortures people in the ways that were common those times. Watch out.

@electrineer Well, that was a job these days too.

I mean, there's a reason why folks call it the dark age.

(then again, we could bring that back for idiotic IT managers. Talk too much shit, you get a round in the brazen bull).

When I get a reliable source of income I'll buy an electric guitar and write digital effects on a raspi. I already started but the guitar was borrowed and the owner needed it back.

@electrineer Well we did have a device usually used to keep prisoners on display in the town square that was quite popular for photos ;)

But I usually focus on archery.

@electrineer Mostly for the challenge of it. I enjoy reverse-engineering their networks stacks and inner workings. Not to mention, the nostalgia of revisiting these older titles.
