Agreed. I’m anti-authoriatiran first and a leftist second. I’ll gladly overlook disagreements on most policy for the sake of unity, but I won’t overlook authoritariansm.

For real. Like, if you have two brain cells to rub together, you observe body language and mix checking in on your partner with dirty talk. It’s not like “are you still consenting?! Do you still like me?!” Literally there’s porn lines you can copy like “yeah, you like that?” or “I want you to beg for it” or “tell/show me what you like” or whatever is up your alley. Deliver it with a modicum of confidence and its not weird.

Because i live on the 4th floor of an apartment complex… i guess anything is possible, but sneaking out several doors and back would be impressive.

It very well could be true. But I also don’t really think you’ve been able to watch your cat every moment of his outdoor life to know he literally never goes anywhere and has never killed anything. My cats are indoor only in a tiny apartment and I frequently can’t figure out where they are, even when I worked from home.

Cats don’t always show you what they kill. I had a roommate that kept letting my cats out. Never saw them kill anything. Then my neighbor told me about how they were little murder machines while I was out at work. Tried taking out a whole near of baby birds.
