How many homes (houses, apartments, condos, ships, etc.) have you lived in during your life? [assume we are talking about places you either owned or rented or were assigned to by another entity (government or military) and do NOT include hotels and other lodging which was very short-term]
Zero - I’ve lived a life entirely on the road or such!
Have you ever traveled to an “unfriendly” country? Use your own judgement to decide which countries fit that category, but I’m generally thinking of places like Cuba, Iran, Russia, etc. If you’re not American you can define it based on the country’s relationship with your own country’s government.
ETA: And let’s say if you were born in such a country and immigrated somewhere else, and have never been back, that doesn’t count. But if you were, for example, born in Iran, immigrated to the US, and later traveled back to Iran to visit your grandparents, that counts.

No, but I am in the military so if an invasion was ordered it would be my duty to go
Say you have a quiet, friendly, well-behaved cat, or are at least temporarily cat-sitting such a cat for a friend. You have no other pets and anyone else you live with is away for a few days. What’s the closest to you that you’d be OK with the cat sleeping at night?

If you selected an answer other than on/in the bed, why?
I’m a light sleeper.
I might roll over in my sleep over and crush the cat.
I might push the cat off the bed in my sleep.
There’s not enough room on my bed for a cat.
Cats in particular don’t belong on the bed.
Pets in general don’t belong on the bed.
I’m allergic to cats.
I’m afraid of cats.
Someone else I sleep with is allergic to cats, and I don’t want the cat to leaving allergens in the bed.
You are a juror. The crime is decades ago. (Could be murder, robbery, arson, assault - any crime.) The sole evidence is witness testimony; there is nothing else to go by.
The prosecution produces many experts who show scientifically how accurate memories can be even decades later - such as how most people can remember exactly where they were and what they were doing on 9/11 - and cites many examples of witnesses with impeccable memories. The defense then produces just as many experts who show scientifically how unreliable witness memories can be after the passage of time and cites just as many examples of how many witnesses were certain of things that were later factually proven wrong. What do you do?
You dust off an old Mattel catalogue you picked up at a garage sale, and a genie appears. He offers to grant you He-Man’s muscular physique. No special effort will be required on your part to maintain it; you can continue to eat and exercise to the extent you normally do. The only catch is that the physique comes with He-Man’s trademark pageboy hairdo, and you must keep this particular hairstyle in place for the rest of your life. Do you accept?
I identify as male, and I refuse the genie’s offer. I don’t want He-Man’s body and I certainly don’t want his ridiculous haircut.
I identify as male, and I refuse the genie’s offer. I would have liked the muscles, but no way would I be caught dead in a pageboy 'do.
I identify as male, and I accept the genie’s offer. I’ll probably start wearing a lot of hats from now on.
I identify as male, and I accept the genie’s offer. I shall wear my pageboy haircut proudly, and in fact might even start carrying around a captive bolt gun to menace anyone who dares mock me.

Assuming that you are bald or balding, and a genie offered to grant you a full head of hair on the condition that you forever maintain it in He-Man’s pageboy style, would you accept?
I identify as male. I really am bald or balding, and I would accept the genie’s offer.
I identify as male. I’m not bald or balding, but if I were, I would accept the genie’s offer.
I identify as male. I really am bald or balding, and I would decline the genie’s offer.

You discover you have the innate ability to transform yourself into a cat at will. Once you get used to the idea, how many hours each day, on average, do you expect you would be spending in cat form?
