I don't even like podcasts, but where do I subscribe to your's??

I was definitely still drawing/writing on my walls in high school, and I'm not even "artsy".

I find both avatars and display names annoying and distracting. If they're enabled by default, I turn them off.

All good! I do a lot of lurking, so you gave me the perfect set up to actually participate! I do a lot of kitten fostering, so I spent A LOT of time reading up on their genetics to try and make sense of things and guess what the father(s) look(s) like. New fun fact: kittens from a single litter don't all necessarily share the same father.

Your fun fact is only partially correct. Calicos and torties are almost always female because the black/brown/grey(dilute) and red/orange colors are both located on the X chromosome, so in order to have both colors, they have to have 2 X chromosomes. Male calicos & torties have some genetic abnormality such as XXY or are a chimera. Red/orange females are much less common than red/orange males, but not all that rare, because they have 2 X chromosomes and therefore have to have 2 copies of the red/orange gene to be solid red/orange, while males only have 1 X chromosome, so they only need 1 copy of the red/orange gene to be red/orange.

Another fun fact: All domestic cats with red coats are tabbies. Through selective breeding, some reds exist with a coat that appears solid, but they're still tabbies with the agouti gene, just very low contrasting in the striping.

I've used Pixel phones since they were called Nexus, and it was fun for a minute, but I had too many unexplained issues with RCS and eventually just disabled it. Nowadays, the people I text with most frequently are on Signal. For a variety of reasons, I've shifted to giving people my Google Voice number rather than my "real" number, and Voice doesn't support RCS. So even if I wanted to use RCS, it's not even an option for most conversations.

I got banned from Tinder. Possibly because I refused to give my real email and just kept entering temp mail addresses, or possibly due to a photo I included that was taken from behind at an outdoor (public) body paint event.

Same, but lying on my left side, so the mattress?

Huh. I don't really drink much soda these days, but when I did, Dr. Pepper was my favorite, and I've always enjoyed blue cheese. I'll have to try that. 2 of my recent-ish favorites:

• Water cracker + soft blue cheese + hot honey
• Ramen + blue cheese

I also most definitely heard about a similar experiment years ago using lipstick.

Hahaha. Humans are so silly! My preference is the exact opposite of yours, but the reasoning behind my preference is the same. I strongly prefer a cashier over self checkout because I prefer to bag my own stuff, and find it easier to do that while someone else scans.

Very few of the places I shop lately even have a bagger, so I don't usually have to ask anyone not to help. I find most self checkouts frustrating because there's no space for scanned items to sit before bagging them.

I also usually plop my card down on the card reader once the cashier starts scanning, so I don't have to bounce back and forth between bagging & paying.

Currently unemployed, so I can't exactly remember, but I used to launch a call with just myself. By default, that will change your status to "in a call", but I believe you can override it and set it to available. Alternatively, a mouse jiggler is around $20.
