@mellie252 @RexChapman This, our cat did the same thing when we first went to the shelter to start looking for a cat. He followed my wife around the room as she petted other cats to make sure he got more pets. My wife couldn't get him out of her head after we left. He's been with us over 9 years now.

@v_macclinchy @NotJust_A_Girl @Burrite The Gasden Flag (Don't Tread On Me) has honorable origins, but that doesn't make it any less noxious now. The swastika was a religious symbol originally. What matters is what it represents now.

@BlairBraverman My wife had to talk me into the first cat we adopted because he was 7 years old and I wasn't sure if I was prepared for the hurt of only having him in our life for a (relatively) short time. Turns out he made it to 18.5 before he crossed the rainbow bridge, best decision we made!

California having gun laws doesn't matter much when there's nothing stopping guns coming in from elsewhere in the country. This is different than, say, the UK, where you have to go through border controls to enter

@MichaelGeer17 @samshere00 @MNateShyamalan The reason the minimum wage was passed was to provide a basic standard of living for every worker. So yes, $15 an hour (at least) is what should be paid to meet that. It doesn't need to be justified beyond that.

Great that soccer is growing in this country, but the lack of understanding of where it came from by new fans is a real drawback. Fans complaining that teams like St. Kitts & Nevis shouldn't even be in the Gold Cup, or that its a meaningless tournament is real hubris.

@GrantEpstein @KevinSixx13 @cutiewithaboo_t How about we match gun laws to car laws first. Every car is registered with an ID number (license plate) and stored in a computerized database accessible to law enforcement. Every sale is tracked. Every user is licensed, again stored in a DB. Lets do all of that for guns.
