  • Расскажите что-нибудь

    I'm just looking for anyone to have a chat with.
    Any shared interests?
    Speak English?

  • Я люблю поговорить о...

    How about a round of random questions?
    I also love hearing a good story from someone. It doesn't have to have the makings of a novel. Even if your just bitching about something that happened at work.

  • Города и страны, которые я посетил

    Short trips to England, Scotland, Germany.
    I was in the US for a summer.
    I was in Australia for about a year.

  • Мои достижения

    Completing this list of questions.
    Quitting smoking.

  • Мой интерес к другим странам

    Nothing specific. Just looking for a chat

  • Я специалист в...

    Nothing so far, but I'm working on that.

  • Испытания

    I used to say quitting smoking, but maybe changing my diet was harder.

  • Любимые книги/писатели/фильмы

    Too many to name...
    I like Sci-fi/fantasy, comedy, thriller in both books and movies. Occasionally non-fiction for books.
    I don't read that much but I listen to audiobooks regularly.

  • За границу на один год

    A few years ago I wanted to go to either South Korea or Japan for work. Teaching English as a foreign language. In the end I didn't go, which I sort of regret now.

  • Делаем мир лучше

    Everybody needs to be more like me
    I'm joking of course. Sometimes I think that's what peoples answers to these kind of questions boil down to.
    I don't know how to make the world a better place, Maybe with free t-shirts.

  • Навыки и умения

    Public speaking. I was actually a member of a group called Toastmasters, which practiced public speaking. It was fun.
    I'm not sure how well that skill holds up today though.

  • Радости детства

    Saturday.
    There's Saturday morning cartoons. No school. It was one day of the week I got to have what I wanted for dinner.

    Also, dinosaurs.

  • Я недавно научился...

    Can't think of anything. I guess I learnt that I need to do more learning

  • Через 10 лет

    I'm not sure where I see myself. I wonder if we'll all be living half our lives in virtual reality in 10 (or 20) years.
    Just please not under lockdown.

  • Я увлечен...

    Meeting more people online

  • Кое-что необычное обо мне

    My fingerprints

  • Раньше было лучше

    We all look back and think of better or simpler times, but they did have their own problems. I look back now and 2019 feels that way.
    But my parents generation bought their houses much easier.

  • Сейчас лучше

    Something that's improved is technology. Communication, computer games etc.

  • Я бы хотел, чтобы люди больше знали о..

    Maybe their own point of view.
    I think people often have opinions or beliefs handed to them by others without questioning them. They might go years without wondering why they believe what they believe.
    BTW I don't think I'm the only one who is immune to this! But I think if your beliefs are important to you then maybe you should question them.

  • Жаль, что в детстве я...

    I wish I hadn't worried what others thought of me. After all they're only kids.
    I also wish I'd actually done my homework and studied occasionally.

  • Карьера без преград

    If I could pick any career I'd probably become an engineer of some kind. Just because I have a bit of a technical mind.

  • Я и мои родители

    I used to believe I was very different from my parents, but the older I get the more I think I'm like my parents. Both my mother and father.

  • Что я жду от будущего

    I try to be optimistic about the future. As a sci=fi fan I look to the future and try to think of some of the cool technology (being used responsibly).
    There is a sort of creeping authoritarianism around the world that makes me feel not so optimistic.
    Try to stay focused on the positive stuff.

  • Мое мнение о природе человека

    I'm not sure being good and being selfish are mutually exclusive.
    I think that good selfless acts are rare.
    When we're good to someone it's kind of expected to be repaid. We're usually within our own social circles. It's like we're proving ourselves to be a valuable member of our group.

  • Меня волнует вопрос о...

    That my laptop battery will run out before I find the charger

  • Совет или подсказка

    Don't believe everything you're told.

  • Сожаления

    I regret things all the time. Maybe most regrettable is all the time I've spent regretting things.

  • Улучшить систему образования

    "It's a miracle that curiosity survives formal education." Einstein
    I'd like to see lessons move at the speed of the children learning them, rather than the speed of the school system.

  • Недооцененное или переоцененное

    Facebook is overrated.
    AdBlock is underrated.
