Do you believe in the phrase “Fake it until you make it”?

It depends on the context! If someone is very underconfident but something is within their ability, it would be good to build themselves up and then do it. That would be a good motto.
But I don't think it would be a good idea for me to pretend to be a qualified doctor or engineer and start doing the job i. the hope of getting the hang of it.

What small thing(s) can put you in a bad mood for the rest of the day?

Buses & trains being late as it not only makes me late, but I do think shows what contempt our rulers have for us (especially that there aren't enough buses to meet the needs of a civilised country that respects people on low incomes).
It goes beyond the inconvenience that, for instance, bad wifi would cause and becomes a more general point.

If you're from Ireland or the UK, take this quiz to see if it can guess what region you're from based on your dialect and post your result! (Please just delete this if you're not Irish or British) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/15/upshot/british-irish-dialect-quiz.html

That is fascinating and exactly right for me (was it for you?) as I can't post the findings here but it identified me as a clayhead, which I am :)

If anyone is interested in my local dialect this gives an indication

I don't (I dunna) use all the dialect words but I understand them as my granddad uses them and you'd need subtitles to understand what he says!

Your favorite chocolate bar?

I got into this when I was on a vegan diet for Lent, and haven't eaten milk chocolate since!

In the game Dungeons & Dragons, your Prime Requisite is your one strongest trait out of the following: Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Constitution, and Dexterity. Out of that list which do you think your own Prime Requisite would be?

CactusDoug’s Profile PhotoDoug
I'd say of those, I'm most short on dexterity (anyone who knows me would have a good laugh at that!) and what I could most use is some more constitution, which I sadly don't have much of and would like to build up, if this is what's meant by constitution.

I decided to answer this before looking it up as I wanted to make a spontaneous answer, and I'm now going to look up those terms as I'm not 100% sure what they mean.

When you last got takeaway food/food delivery, what did you get and if you hadn't gotten it, what was your dinner-at-home option?

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
On Saturday I had a subway, it was ok but I'd had a subway the week before and I would rather have eaten at Mission Burrito which is mine and my girlfriend's favourite place, but it's recently closed its Birmingham branch without explanation!?
The meal was thus a 6-inch italian bmt and a 6-inch meatball marinara, on oat bread, cheesed & toasted, followed by 2 oat & raisin biscuits (can't call them cookies, the same way I can't call flats 'apartments').
It's quite rare for me to dine out as I don't like to spend money in places like that and I'm mindful that my girlfriend has even less money than me so it's not a good idea to be eating luxury meals and what-have-you, though I'd go for an Italian meal if I could.

What was your favourite childhood toy and do they still sell it now? Pap of it?

Apparently (though I've been told this; I don't remember it) I had a monkey and was very staunch in support of the monkey's right to have a dummy. He had his own dummy and I would be angry if my parents gave me a dummy but not the monkey, as this was an injustice!
I don't remember this but I heard the story and like to think it was my first step in defending justice and the rights of others.

Today I sent out a question to everyone I follow. It mentioned biscuits but I realised after that depending on when you are in the world, a biscuit could be a bread roll or a cookie. Here it's like a cookie. What's a biscuit to you?

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
The same as it is to you, a sweet baked thing :)
I am a biscuit-lover & I like digestives, malted milk, hobnobs & most of all a sadly now defunct biscuit.

What childhood fear do you have that still still haunts you today?

What still gives me the creeps is when someone approaches from behind me, I'm not completely sure where this fear began but it's one I've always had!?

What would you name your son????

Chad, after Saint Chad, first Bishop of Lichfield.
Several churches in the area are named after him and he was a sound sort of person.
https://twosaintsway.org.uk/?page_id=141
I first became aware of this at Easter 2016 when walking the Two Saints Way as described, and the feeling of finally completing the pilgrimage and arriving in Lichfield was the feeling I'd hope my son would have at the completion of his work.
Hopefully my son would have the strength of will of the original Chad, though it's unlikely I would have a child in the first place.

"You" is a series about a stereotypically attractive, dangerous stalker named Joe who's capable of devastating things. If you've seen it, what's your opinion on the fans who want to be with Joe and want Joe to stalk them?! Are you one of those fans? Do you think they missed the point of the show?

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
I'd never heard of it!?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_(TV_series)
I do find it worrying that so many people fall in love with stalkers and even send marriage proposals to serial killers and all sorts. I would say that such people need to get help and, if it happens on a wide basis, something needs to change in society.
My mate is being staked by her ex-boyfriend who is trying to stop her wedding on the grounds that only he truly loves her, not her fiance. So I can tell these fans (who probably don't know anything about what actual stalkers do) that stalking certainly isn't some romantic, misunderstood thing that shows how committed someone is to someone else, it's something that should be stamped out, preferably by the police.

Is there something you don't like?

Adverts on Spotify, wtf is that all about?
Yesterday I was listening to Helloween and an advert came on for some rap shit. What proportion of Helloween fans do they imagine would want to hear this bollocks? Especially since they can surely tell I've never listened to any rap.
So not only annoying and intrusive, but also they couldn't be bothered to target them properly; I wouldn't actually mind so much and might even thank them and buy the record if they advertised stuff similar to what I like based on my interests, but they choose to waste their own time & money and piss me off instead.
As Helloween themselves said,
