The cod was believed to be the king of the fish. I hope to live up to the name 🐟

  • Funny, after water, beer and coffee are my two most consumed drinks. I like whisky too but haven’t been drinking as much lately. It kind of comes and goes.

  • I’m pretty sure I saw ChrisSimpsonsArtist post this a while back. He does a lot of, uh, interesting drawings, where most have way more than the typical number of fingers. Pretty sure this is intentionally too many fingers.

  • I love her large ears. Reminds me of a fox.

    Islay was named after the scotch, so you were right about the island in Scotland! When she was a little younger, the grey in her coat was far lighter in colour and looked like a smoky colour, so I figured since Islay is usually a smoky scotch (and my personal preference for any hard liquor outside of Canada), the name seemed fitting. We would’ve called her Peaty if she went by he instead, for the same reason.

    I hadn’t put two and two together with my username here, that’s hilarious.

  • When I told my coworker about Islay, she got very excited to use that fact to help support her arguments with her right wing family or whoever she argues with about this sorta thing. Thankfully all my friends and family are left wing, most are far left, so I don’t ever have those sorts of arguments in my life, but I was more than happy to help her situation.

  • Oh definitely, I will. She’s worth the much higher price.

  • Agreed. I love her coat, she’s such a model.

  • I’m not too sure! That’s a good question though. I’m curious now, I’ll have to ask the vet the next time I see her.

  • More often than not, cats with both parts tend to develop cancer as a result of it, apparently. That’s according to the vet anyway. But yeah I think they tend to be sterile in most cases.

  • Good to know, thanks. That’s just what the vet called her, I wasn’t aware there were bad connotations with the term.

  • Both parts. Islay has both testicles and a uterus. We call her a she (since our other cat is a boy so it’s just easier if one is he and one is she), but technically she’s a they. Unfortunately it’ll be very expensive to get her fixed because of it.

    This is Islay (eye-la), my hermaphrodite cat!

  • I will say, lately I’ve been on a nostalgia kick, and have been going through the Pokémon games again. I’m emulating them, but recently found my GameBoy Colour and there’s just something about the non-backlit screen. Somehow the colours just look better to me, I’m not sure why. It’s definitely objectively worse, but I like it anyway for some reason.

  • Orion is an iOS browser that lets you use uBlock Origin (along with many other Firefox and Chrome extensions). I can’t speak for their ownership though, I have no idea if it’s a good company or not.

  • I’ve got two. A void and (I think) a blue point.

    The void is Apollo, but his nickname is “what is that in your mouth”

    The blue point is Islay, but her nickname is “how the fuck did you get the toilet paper again”

    I was about to go to bed but looks like he beat me to it. I guess I'm sleeping in the living room tonight

  • I know a dog named Willow. Nothing more fun than to go to their house and excitedly say “Hello Willow!” over and over again. It’s so much fun to say
