3. What is your native language? In what languages are you proficient?

 

4. Describe your ancestry.

4. 3/8 German, 1/4 Ashkenazim, 1/8 English, 1/8 Manske, and 1/8 Polish.

7. Single, no children.

8. Middle class. My family was poor at one point.

6. Do you have any religious or spiritual beliefs? If so, describe them. In what religious tradition(s) were you raised, if any? We weren't raised to be religious, and I continue to be atheistic.

8. Describe your social class. Have you always been in this class? Working class. I think probably we used to be below that but I don't know. "Poor (relatively)" seems a fair way to describe it.

6. Do you have any religious or spiritual beliefs? If so, describe them. In what religious tradition(s) were you raised, if any?

Religion-agnostic. It's too much bother worrying about that stuff, I'll just try to be a good person and if the god(s) get mad i didn't do it in their name, then they can shove it.

In a relationship. No, and I don't plan on having any, partially because I can't. :p

I currently work front desk at a hotel. Formerly did manual labor. As far as education goes, I have a high school diploma, and that's pretty much it for formal education. Plenty of informal/self-taught though, mostly tech-related.

Ooh, another shot at evasion! I promise to be honest about these one day.

 

1. What is your age?

65, for all you know. Hint: I'm not actually 65.

 

2. What part of the world do you live in? In which part of the world were you born? What countries have you lived in?

I memetically live in Alaska. In reality I've lived along the east coast of the United States, where I always have. I've managed to live in seven different cities over seven years, but I've actually stayed in the same place for a whole two years running now.

 

3. What is your native language? In what languages are you proficient?

English is my native language, and I'd like to think I'm proficient. I'm nowhere close to fluent in Spanish, but I can read novels slowly and muddle through basic conversations. And I know enough that I sometimes have to uncomfortably overrule translators who are inhibiting rather than facilitating communication. It's a problem.

 

4. Describe your ancestry.

Mostly Austrian and Russian Jews, but I'm reluctantly descended from some Daughters of the American Revolution, who are descended from Irish Protestants who immigrated early, who were themselves actually Englishmen who were colonizing and oppressing Ireland before the chance to colonize and oppress Americans opened up.

 

5. Describe your gender identity and sexual orientation.

I'm a cisgender male who gets a zero on the Kinsey scale. It's not great for my identity politics cred but it's very convenient for dealing with the real world.

 

6. Do you have any religious or spiritual beliefs? If so, describe them. In what religious tradition(s) were you raised, if any?

I was raised an atheistic Jew and I'd say I remain faithful to that. Or nonfaithful. As adherent as I've ever been. Which means going to synagogue occasionally but feeling awkward about it.

 

7. What is your relationship status? Do you have any children?

I'm [REDACTED] but I [REDACTED].

 

8. Describe your social class. Have you always been in this class?

My social class and my income are mismatched.

 

9. Have you ever served in the military? If so, what division?

I have not, and I suspect I'm not eligible for combat roles.

 

10. What is your occupation (or former occupation)? What is your highest level of education (and your degree, if applicable)?

I have held several jobs, and the pay has correlated very poorly with both the required qualifications and the actual difficulty of the job.

Excalibur, in question 9 if you are trying to differentiate between Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, etc, the correct phrasing would be "Have you ever served in the military? If so, what branch?"

 

In most Armies, some Air Forces, and the USMC, a division is an organization of 10-20K people

1. I'm 17 years old.

 

2. I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, and I've lived in the Cincinnati area my whole life.

 

3. My native language is English. I can speak a little bit of all the popular languages (French, Spanish, etc) but not enough to actually use. I took two years of Spanish in school but one year was with a bad teacher and on eyear was through a bad online course. So I didn't learn much.

 

4. My ancestry is mostly Scottish. I'm also a little bit English, Irish, and Cherokee.

 

5. I'm a straight male.

 

6. I consider my current religious beliefs to be closest to agnosticism, but my friend insists that I'm gnostic so :rolleyes:.

 

7. I'm single and I don't have any children.

 

8. I'm probably lower middle class, maybe upper lower class. When I was younger we had a lot more money but my parents weren't smart with it. I had a lot of issues being the poor kid in school, even though I wasn't even poor at the time.

 

9. I've never served in the military and I couldn't if I wanted to.

 

10. I haven't had a job yet but I'm getting one in the next few months if all goes as planned. In the future I plan to go into audio engineering. For a while I wanted to be a stock broker but I lost interest in it after using a mock trading site for several months. I'm going into my senior year of high school.

5. Male, cis, heterosexual (0-1 on the scale, I guess).

6. Raised with some religion but mostly indifferent, started identifying as strongly atheist around 15-16.

Not like anyone cares, but...

 

 

1. What is your age? (Be approximate, if you'd like)

30

 

2. What part of the world do you live in? In which part of the world were you born? What countries have you lived in?

Germany, Berlin, born and still living in.

 

3. What is your native language? In what languages are you proficient?

German. English. I can understand a little bit of Japanese from watching all those animes if that counts. And I guess a bit of French because I had it in school for 4 years.

 

4. Describe your ancestry.

All German. Dunno what else to say. My parents are actually technology addicts and play video games. So that's notable to mention, especially because they are quite old.

 

5. Describe your gender identity and sexual orientation.

Complicated. While my body is male, my identity is both. If I feel female I prefer male sex partners while if I feel male I prefer female sex partners, so I guess you could either say heterosexual or bisexual. =p

 

6. Do you have any religious or spiritual beliefs? If so, describe them. In what religious tradition(s) were you raised, if any?

I was raised catholic, but I'm honestly not believing too much in it. For me the concept of god was simply created by the inability of humans to explain certain things and so consequently having a religion feels like admitting I'm dumb, so I generally just say "I don't believe in god". On other hand I created my own kind of religions and might even talk to "god" from that religion occassionally, complaining how he makes my life suck or also thanking him for making something good happen. But might as well consider that invisible friend rather than religion/belief.

 

7. What is your relationship status? Do you have any children?

Single, not searching, no children (at least none that I know of, since I had lots of sex without condoms, it could be).

 

8. Describe your social class. Have you always been in this class?

Well yes, I guess. My father was more analog (fixing and creating hardware) and I'm more digital (fixing and creating software), but our incomes are basically completely identical (solid income, neither in poverty, nor rich). My mother doesn't work she is housewife. I'd like to have a housewife too, but in the modern day, no woman wants to do that anymore, they all want to work themselves, so I just gave up on having a partner.

 

9. Have you ever served in the military? If so, what division?

Nope. I'm a complete pacifist who doesn't even hurt insects most of the time.

 

10. What is your occupation (or former occupation)? What is your highest level of education (and your degree, if applicable)?

Software developer. I studied computer science (degree is something between bachelor and master).

USA, Northeast coast.

 

3. What is your native language? In what languages are you proficient?

 

I speak English, and have forgotten everything I knew of Latin. I really wish I knew more, but I've always been terrible with languages, and hate the process of learning them.

Vague.

 

6. Do you have any religious or spiritual beliefs? If so, describe them. In what religious tradition(s) were you raised, if any?

 

"Always do the right thing, even if it doesn't make sense." Also I think it's theoretically possible to live an ethical life without decieving one's self, which ironically constitutes a leap of faith on my part. Not sure if those qualify as spiritual... Anyway, religion was not really a part of my upbringing.

None and no.

 

8. Describe your social class. Have you always been in this class?

 

People treat me fairly most of the time, so I'm going to say "better off than most." And yes, that's always been the case.

 

9. Have you ever served in the military? If so, what division?

 

No. I have some very... controversial opinions on this stuff. Controversial to the point of getting me outright flamed by close friends. That's all I'm really going to say on it.

 

10. What is your occupation (or former occupation)? What is your highest level of education (and your degree, if applicable)?

 

I work in the IT department for a small company, and I'm a college dropout. Work is much more fun than college was.

Oh well, why not answer? What's the worst that could happen?

 

1. What is your age? (Be approximate, if you'd like)

I was born in the middle of the Carter administration.

 

2. What part of the world do you live in? In which part of the world were you born? What countries have you lived in?

I am a deist. The universe follows natural laws established by God, the "first cause", but the Creator does not intervene in the creation. Prayer has no supernatural effect, and an "afterlife" is unlikely. Atheists find me too wishy-washy. Everyone else believes I am an atheist.

I am married with n children. (2 < n < 4)

I have not.

The fluffy turtles roam the land, importunate and insolent, nominating themselves the stalkers of sanity, vanquishers of logic and exterminators of rationality, extorting brain cells from the gullible and, on receipt of their ignoble earnings, moving on to dispense the same deceit in the near vicinity. The easiest access they find are at the forums of honest, simple, and unwitting peasants who readily ascribe all misfortune and ill events to rituals, unnatural creatures and monsters, the doings of windsprites or evil spirits.
