In The Odyssey, Circe is terrified of men 'invading lands and disrespecting people' by eating her food, yet she just casually keeps a literal apex predator guarding her front door.

One thing I don't understand Circe

Instead, she reinvented herself.

Looking for some genuine advice here. A teammate on my project constantly chimed in during our team review today acting like my section was a "joint effort" when I did 90% of the heavy lifting.

What’s a random skill you learned purely out of boredom?

During a slow week, I ended up watching endless videos on how to solve a Rubik’s cube, and now I can do it in under two minutes.

What’s a dish you prefer homemade over getting it at a restaurant?

For me, it’s pasta. Restaurants always overcomplicate it or make it way too oily, but a simple homemade sauce is so much better.

What’s something you’d rather make yourself than order out?

What's one food you refused to eat as a kid but now genuinely love?

As a kid, I was convinced some foods were absolutely disgusting. I wouldn't even take a bite.

Fast forward a few years, and some of those same foods have become regulars on my plate -- sometimes they're even my favorites.

What's the one food you couldn't stand as a child but genuinely enjoy now? What changed your mind? Was it age, a better recipe, or someone finally cooking it the right way?
