Trying to argue with conservatives.

All that they’re great at is detouring, distancing, playing down, doubling-tripling down, disassociating, strawmen and more illogical fallacies. They can’t take up an honest debate unless there are rules in place that gives them any outs from being pressed when confronted with questions they can’t give truthful answers to.

      I used to scoop up my cats and let them be a “mecha pilot.” Wherever they’d turn their heads, I’d walk in that direction. Eventually they’d catch on and use the opportunity to explore places they normally can’t reach. Sniff stuff on the walls and such.

      Some cats are just like that, they have very strong boundaries and some don’t consider anything worth going outside their comfort zones. Others can be trained, if you figure out their favourite treat and the right time to train. But sitting in the same room and blinking at each other now and then is a also a good enough show of intimacy in their language.
