Two come to my mind which are 'Why do you want this job?' and 'What do you think you can bring to the role?' Whenever interviewers ask me this I think: I spend all those hours drafting CVs, portfolios and letters, all of which provide detailed answers to both of those questions, yet you still ask me anyway! What was the point of me putting in all that work (which you, the employers, requested from me to even get an interview in the first place) if you're not even going to bother to read it?!
I won't go into how unjustly biased interviews seem to be towards people who can put on the best bovine-pooping show rather than those who actually work hard and would actually have the better skills for the job if given a chance to demonstrate it instead of being forced to try and present this in ways that their brains are not naturally wired to do so and thus being set up to fail.
I also won't go into how it would be much, much fairer for employers to judge people based on setting work trial exercises to allow people to demonstrate their skills using the methods that suit those individuals the best so they can have the chance to show their full potential, instead of people having their employability determined by how they look and sound in a first conversation.

If you could set up your own business, any type of business venture, what would it be?
Tough question. because every time I think of something, I realize my allergies are a barrier to anything dealing with the public in an enclosed space, or food. That removes a lot.
Because I tailor my own vintage shirts now, that might be a thing I could do, but...there aren't any tailors around where I live for a reason: most people can't afford it, and also don't need it. And it's demanding finicky work. Almost anything else would be an easier way to make a buck. I only do it for myself because I'm finicky about fit and love the fine details and workmanship of vintage garments, plus despise fast fashion as a global scourge. But it's time-consuming, wearying work indeed, and no local market for it.
I'd love to do something that helps people who aren't getting helped already, but it has to be something effective, necessary, and desired by the recipient, and that's a tricky set of conditions.
If you could make a difference for the better in society by any means you chose, what would it be?
Racism is EVERYONE's fight #BLM #StopAsianHate
Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
I'd choose to bring more joy and laughter to the world.
What inspired me to get into writing and art was the amount of writers and artists who use their creativity to encourage positive change, such as compassion and open-mindedness. I know this (unfortunately) won't change absolutely everything or everyone for the better but it's still very inspiring that people are creating things for this reason. It would be my dream to be able to contribute to all of this inspiration.
The Abyss. It made me realize humans need to change it's barbaric ways and that we might be under scrutiny as we evolve. (by God, aliens, Muppets, whoever)
If you could travel back 500 years into the past, what advice would you give the people of that era?
How your Sims builds show your meds' effectiveness
Totally. I do that to almost any animal, I had little "conversations" with a goat in our neighborhood who was quite noisy just before summer hit a few years back. I much enjoyed "baa"ing back, lol. He seemed lonely.
Do you have any senses/body parts that don't function to the ideal? Such as glasses, odd genetics, flat feet, etc. (Hope that's not a weird question, lol.)
No. Had hawklike distance vision all my life, but now I'm developing age-related need for reading glasses: focusing up close is getting harder and harder.

Well, I'm red/green color impaired. Didn't know it as a kid because I could tell basic bright shades of red and green apart, it's just the subtler ones. One of my favorite chocolate-brown buttonup shirts (brown goes well with ginger hair) is, according to my normal-color-vision hubs, actually a shade of Olive Drab green. Which was a shock because I can see ordinary shades of O.D. Similarly, a mushroom-colored jacket turned out to be a shade of green I can't see, and some oranges/greys are, according to other people, pale pinks.
Also have "flat" feet (flexible arches) but learned in martial arts to strengthen my arches with toe-gripping exercises and a certain active-toes stance that spreads the toes and makes a huge difference in base, and now don't have problems due to that, though my arches remain flexible.
Interesting question so I'll recycle it! Does anyone else have any such genetic features different from most common?

I have dimples. LOL. But neither of my parents have it so I don't know where they come from. 🤣😂🤣😂 My hair color is also different from my parents... Maybe I was really switched at birth... 🤔
Although the two technically occurred at the same time, I'd go for Victorian, I love the elegant and steampunk beauty of it all. I'm a big fan of that time period and the fashions and such. Like, I'm the person who shows up to formal events in poet shirts with the flowy sleeves and it's not all that out of character for me. Wild West is a bit too scary and aggressive for me, tbh. Plus the misogyny was a lot more aggressive there and more passive in Victorian, in terms of aggression at least.
What's your favorite artistic tools? Like pens, markers, crayons, charcoal, colored or uncolored pencils, etc.
