Welcome back to another Question of the Week here at The Confusing Middle! Last week, Gregory Stock asked if I'd wear a voice-activated safety watch that tracked my whereabouts and could summon police with a shout. My answer was a pretty definitive "no"—partly because I don't wear watches, partly because my wrist breaks out in … Continue reading Question of the Week #477

Question of the Week #476
Welcome back to another Question of the Week here at The Confusing Middle! After two consecutive weeks of Gregory Stock wading us into the deep, uncomfortable waters of attraction, race, religion, and culture, I have to admit I was hoping for something a little lighter this time around. Maybe something about favorite foods. Or whether … Continue reading Question of the Week #476

Welcome back to another Question of the Week here at The Confusing Middle! Last week, Gregory Stock had us wading into the deep end of interracial attraction and relationships — and apparently, he liked the water just fine, because this week he's asking us to wade in even deeper. This time, it's not about race. … Continue reading Question of the Week #475

Question of the Week #473
Welcome back to another Question of the Week here at The Confusing Middle! After last week's easy slam-dunk about accepting $150,000 a year to never work again (spoiler: yes, obviously yes), we're pivoting to something considerably less hypothetical and significantly more uncomfortable. Gregory Stock is apparently done letting us fantasize about financial freedom and is … Continue reading Question of the Week #473
Question of the Week #472
Welcome back to another Question of the Week here at The Confusing Middle! After spending the last three weeks exploring various flavors of public humiliation (because apparently Gregory Stock really wanted us to confront our deepest fears), we're shifting gears to something a little different. Instead of asking what we'd endure, this week we're exploring … Continue reading Question of the Week #472
Question of the Week #471
Welcome back to another Question of the Week here at The Confusing Middle! This week we're diving into another question from Gregory Stock's The Book of Questions, completing what I'm now calling our unofficial trilogy of public humiliation. We've covered nudity for charity, we've ranked a buffet of mortifying scenarios, and now we're exploring the … Continue reading Question of the Week #471
