What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?

Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?

What’s the perfect day for you?

If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?

Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?

What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?

What is your definition of a “perfect life”?
Peace, health, with decent, loyal people, who love you and are devoted. A proper family unit.

What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?
Don't know about the planet, but I would love greater investment put into poverty in this country.


Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?
With hindsight, I would have preferred to operate through vicarious experience, but I never took people's advice, so had to learn the hard way. The words had to truly come to life for me to accept and believe them.

What’s the perfect day for you?
Just being with the people I love, in a safe place, having fun.

If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?
Late 1880's or around 1910. I just think life was totally different then, and I could understand it more. The world has now be overcome with materialism. No community.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?
Not an item, but the person I love, a photo and chocolate.


Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?
Either. I like dogs because they are loyal, and cats because they are intelligent.

What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?
Seeing an old crush, after winding them up online.

If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
I like the piano.

Good day all! I am feeling a little bit bummed that my interview got cancelled, but it is rescheduled for tomorrow! Please keep your fingers and toes crossed for me as this is the job that I really want. Now for some questions...

What is your definition of a “perfect life”?
I don't think the perfect life exists, but a life with contentment is possible.

What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?
Throw their litter in the bin.

Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?
I am a lot better at listening to other people's advice. I don't necessarily listen at the time but I let it sink in then respond.

What’s the perfect day for you?
Any day where I am fully content

If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?
The 50's because I love diners, clothes and hair.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?
Toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush.

Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?
A dog person. I feel so much loyalty and infinite love from my little canine critters.

What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?
Me and a work colleague talking about another work colleague and realising that they were behind us lol

If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
The violin. I can genuinely play the violin.

Cheers, init, BB

1. What is your definition of a “perfect life”?
   One where I can live in somewhat comfort without being concerned about finances.
   
   
2. What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?
   Be mindful of your actions and learn to care about what you have.
   
   
3. Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?
   I am awful at both giving and receiving advice. I am also stubborn, so I'd rather figure things out for myself.
   
   
4. What’s the perfect day for you?
   Getting to photograph something clinical in a hospital. My favourites are cells, or surgeries.
   
   
5. If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?
   Probably the 30s or 40s, just because of the fashion hah
   
   
6. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?
   Big bottles of Malibu, Vodka and Tequila. There's no way I would survive on an island, deserted or otherwise so might as well go out in style.
   
   
7. Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?
   Cat. I like that they openly admit they're arseholes and they're not sorry for it.
   
8. What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?
   I have so many, daily, that I can't remember any specifically. Probs a few typos I've had here would make it up there.
   
   
9. If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
   The tambourine, in hip hop, street rap kind of style (@Ash600)

Thank you so much. This comment means a lot

 

[richard 1998]

Good morning (or afternoon!)
Great to see, that youre feeling so good today


What is your definition of a “perfect life”?
Hmm Id say that you have your needs covered, that you dont have to fear for your future and to have some kind of purpose in life...
Right now Im very anxious about my studies, I guess in a perfect life I wouldnt have to worry about that...
What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?
Preservation. Our civilization isnt sustainable. We could all for example eat a bit less meat. Or fly less.
Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?
yes, often. There are many things that I dont know and I often encounter situations where I can learn from someone else. But I never blindly listen to someone. I believe that listening and questioning is key.
What’s the perfect day for you?
warm summer day at the beach with friends. Perhaps also the same thing with family and dog.
If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?
Hmm... Qing dynasty perhaps? My ancestors were farmers so Id likely be a farmer as well..
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?
A water purificater "life straw", big sharp machete and a wooden hut as home (Its technically an item and not property, right?) if that doesnt count, id say a fire starter as my last item.
Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?
Definitely a dog person. I feel like dogs are more attached due to their pack mentality. A dog follows you, comes to you when called. My dog would never bite me, even if I hurt him by accident.
cats are nice too, but they just do their own thing... They roam around the neighbourhood, come and go etc...
What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?
Not the biggest one but more or less recently during a lecture the professor asked a question and nobody wanted to answer so I tried and failed miserably. To make it worse the professor made fun of the answer so yea I shouldntve said that...
Edit: theres a much worse one... I once told a friend that Ive heard rumors of another student around our age (20-22) asking out our professor (around 50yo) for a date and mentioning that I found that odd only to learn afterwards that it was that friend who asked out our professor... YIKES I really need to sit down with him and apologize for that

If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
I play guitar, so Id say the guitar, electric guitar or bass... or ukulele

 

[Walker]

If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?

The butt trumpet

 

[Butterfly]

The butt trumpet

lol lol lol

 

[Ash600]

What is your definition of a “perfect life”?
Being stress free and having complete peace of mind

What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?
Demonstrate more thought and consideration

Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?
Both actually as they are equally important. Figuring things out for yourself helps to create self reliance. However, taking aboard other people's advice can help with self development by soaking up the experiences and knowledge of others

What’s the perfect day for you?
One that lasts for 24hrs

If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?
N/A - I'd be fantastic in any era

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?
A boat, a map, and vodka

Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?
Neither, I've never been an animal person

What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?
Sorry, had so many over the years, hard to pick the winner.

If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
Electric guitar, failing that maracas just like Bez.

 

[Ash600]

The butt trumpet

 

[Nick]

I've only got a few min here ...

The butt trumpet

Please play this instrument without an audience. Your poor wife does not want to hear your practice.

I am feeling so pretty today

I googled pretty bloke, AND we won't be posting the pics that came up from that ... so we went with pretty instead
So there ya go

 

[C4RL4]

What is your definition of a “perfect life”?

Living day by day peacefully without much worries.

What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?

Do the things, instead of discussing and trying to be right, educate oneself on what should be done and doing it.

Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?

A bit of both, I like to have someone else's point of view, but one will always have doubts until you try it yourself.

What’s the perfect day for you?

When I get to have something productive done and manage to relax without having to deal with complaints.

If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?

"There's no better time to be alive than the present", however being on Woodstock is tempting, also, 80's/90's leaving aside cold war, because it was the beginning of lots of things, internet, music videos, and being alive to buy bitcoin and become billionare.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?

A bottle of hard liquor, because I rather be dead drunk, an harp, depending on how much time I'll be stuck I could well learn an instrument, and a very thicc book, to read outloud when I get all drunk obviously.

Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?

I'm fine with both, but if I had to choose I will always prefer a cat, I feel dogs are for more active people, cats are almost self-maintenance and sleep a lot.

What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?

Hard to remember one, good, I rather leave those memories die.

If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?

I like the bass, but I always wanted to be baterist, but I also would like to play the electric keyboard.
