there are two things that make the conscious world move, decision and desire

Would you rather ...
 
arrive overdressed or underdressed to an event? 
business casual
    overdressed. It at least shows that you care.
date someone you love or date someone who loves you?
    given the choice of one or the other but not both - I'll take neither.
fight a dragon or hippopotamus?  
    hippo, because fire seems rather more ungovernable than little tusks on an herbivore
backpack in South America or travel across Europe? 
    travel Europe (in some style)
go on a nearby business trip alone or travel far away with all of your coworkers? 
    alone, duh
date by video call or social distance?     
    social distance. Video calls are a crime against nature.
Zoom "bird call"
skydive or snowboard? 
    snowboard by default, since sky diving requires heights
go to the gym or go for a run? 
go to the ... dungeon
    basement gym 

have a fully stocked snack bar or a limitless coffee machine? 
    bar
have a small or big wedding? 
    small
have smelly feet or food stuck in your teeth all day? 
    food stuck—there is NO excuse for skanky feet
have the right to privacy or security? 
    privacy is really important to me
have your date pay or pay for your own meal? 
    one person pay for both, and it doesn't matter who
pay off student loans or buy a house? 
    since the one is done, then I'll accept paying off the mortgage, please
save the world and get no credit or let the world go up in flames? 
    who needs credit? It's mostly baseless or insincere anyway.
teleport or read minds? 
    some mind reading would be all right
visit the mountains or the sea? 
    the sea would be lovely, thank you. When do we leave?
