Couldn't agree more. The things I see online are completely different from what I see in real life.
In real life, the vast majority of people aren't paying attention to any of this drama at all. They have no idea what's going on. (And if they do, they surely aren't talking about it.) The Republican party is going to be fine, thanks to apathy.
That's fine; I lost interest in the series after Underground. NFS was ruined for me anyway when I learned what Rubberband AI was. (Which was also around the same time I started driving real cars, and thus began realizing just how terrible the physics are in all but the most hardcore sim racers.)
Cats can also handle a harness and a leash a lot better than you think, especially the friendly, outgoing cats. Just don't expect them to be able to keep up with you like a dog. Cats move at their own pace and will protest if you try to force them to go with you. Let them lead the way, and expect to spend a lot of time standing around in one spot.
Basically what I'm saying is that leashes work best if you're not in a hurry to go anywhere in particular. Backpack if you are.
I feel that. I'm also nowhere near Florida, and don't have the spare cash for an airplane ticket right now. I'm making $19/hr and I can't even afford groceries.
Which is why I only use it when someone is being a genuine dick, 'cause I know it'll send them into a rage.
