Of course, as the world turns, I age, and new things come into existence, I often ponder and judge what of these new things are actually cool and\/or useful, and what new things are stupid and inherently obnoxious.<\/span><\/p>\n Like e-bikes, my knee-jerk reaction to bicycles that have small motors in them that allow the riders to have some assistance when it comes to dealing with hills and fatigue, my first thought was that people needed to stop being pussies and learn how to pedal and overcome their own physical limitations.\u00a0 But then I thought about the potential about how it would be pretty awesome to bicycle the entire length of the Silver Comet Trail and back and that an e-bike would probably make that way more likely possible than not, and my attitude changed.\u00a0 I concluded that e-bikes are inherently cool, but it\u2019s a case-by-case basis in which it is determined on whether the rider is being a lazy pussy, or is someone who is in harmony with their physical capabilities along with a little bit of motorized assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n But hands-free dog leashes?\u00a0 Yeah no, there\u2019s little positive rationalization for these things needing to exist.\u00a0 I think they\u2019re the epitome of laziness, and act as a disservice to dogs themselves, allowing their shithead owners to be lazy and inattentive while they are getting the walks that they typically need in order to be healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n Because make no mistake, there\u2019s not a single part of me that doesn\u2019t believe that these weren\u2019t created so that people walking their dogs could dick around on their phones with both of their hands and not be so encumbered by the responsibility of controlling their dog with one hand.<\/span><\/p>\n As if walking a dog with a traditional, hand-in leash is at all that hard in the first place, a bunch of lazy fucks have to go creating leashes that are worn around the waist or slung over the shoulder, so that your hands are free to surf the internet on your phone instead of paying attention to your dog?\u00a0 Get the fuck out of here, that is lazy, that is negligent, and increases the chances that you\u2019ll allow your dog to drop a deuce in someone else\u2019s yard and \u201cforget\u201d to clean it because you didn\u2019t see it because you were too fucking busy scrolling Instagram or some other inane internet bullshit.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s someone in my neighborhood who walks their dog with one of these leashes, which is how I came to know of their existence in the first place.\u00a0 And although she herself is a fairly pleasant neighbor, I\u2019ve noticed that when she\u2019s walking her dog with this leash, she\u2019s completely spatially unaware, and doesn\u2019t get the fuck out of the way or give any courtesy space to cars on the road.\u00a0 All I want to do is judge her, and other people who walk their poor dogs without giving them the sparsest amount of attention that they really need in order to feel like they\u2019re actually in a relationship with their owners.<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, these types of leashes are bullshit, and I judge the fuck out of anyone who walks their dogs with them.\u00a0 The only instances where I could find these remotely acceptable are with paraplegics with no arms in the first place; sure, it begs the question on how they\u2019d even leash a dog and equip the belt, but the point is that only someone with no arms at all seems like the only logical type of person who would warrant needing a hands-free leash in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Of course, as the world turns, I age, and new things come into existence, I often ponder and judge what of these new things are actually cool and\/or useful, and what new things are stupid and inherently obnoxious.
