Keep finding these long legged lil bros in my home. This is bro number three so far. Any idea what they are? Super fast and hard to grab and stick in the rescue jar.
The comment you replied to is “no record of this comment” for me. What did they say? I was thinking brown recluse because of if the “violin mark” on its back, but I didn’t want to duplicate a comment I can’t see
My experience may not be everyone’s, but I’m in my mid 40s and I practice this for the most part and consistently run into it with new partners as well.
There are some things that are pretty obvious. But once things are getting going I always ask if it’s ok before I take another step further if it isn’t abundantly clear and asked for.
I learned dating in the days of “the guy must make all the moves and asking is a mood killer.”. I like how things are now. I like that asking is not just accepted but generally becoming the norm. In a way it’s kind of like dirty talk, saying the things you’d like to do. Even if the other person isn’t ready for what you’re suggesting it can still lead down other fun paths that they are ready for and willing to do
Of course this is all YMMV with different cultures and different people. But this has been my experience.
One thing I read once and applied to my last dog and my friend has done with his: use as the hand gesture for sit bringing both your hands up to your chest, like kids do when afraid. Dogs tend to respond to visual commands as much as or more than vocal. This way if someone is scared of the dog and makes that scared gesture, the dog will (in my experience in most cases) sit.
And in general, consistency is the most important thing. In the end, teach your dog whatever commands you want with whatever cues you want, but consistency is the key across the board. This includes initially how anyone interacts with your dog during the initial training phases, if possible. This helps reinforce the specific training you’re doing and that not just you should be able issue commands
Yeah, professional training can be really helpful. Especially if they’re interactive with you as well so that you learn how to train while the dog is being trained. Imo a training course is only as good as the owner will be after, if that makes sense.
Oh thank you for this. I’ve seen the lockdown but I never really looked into what it does. Not that I am one to frequently be in a position where I’m concerned about being forced to thumb my phone, but it’s nice to know. Even being a middle aged white dude, one never really knows when you might be perceived as having looked at a jack boot the wrong way.
I had a dog when I caught it that first July, so I kept walking her. I obv kept wide of people but still walked my dog and got plenty of sunlight. I don’t know what’s real and what isn’t as far as what’s going to help with reducing the intensity of this things but im glad I kept getting exercise and vitamin D, and I’m also glad Paxlovid is out there for people who catch it now. Rest, fluids, the med, and still getting a little sunlight and low intensity exercise would be my 100% non medical professional recommendation.
I think it’s safe to assume that Coyote vs. ACME is not going to have a public releasse. But guess what? That movie was killed for that dogshit adult animated Scooby-Doo series “Velma” getting a SECOND fucking season.

Browsing all, I came to say something snide about your levels of frustration, then I saw the community name and kind of chuckled. I know I’m not adding any value with my comment here, but just wanted to make a note of my turn around.
Everywhere online now, every movie, every home video, has been passed through so many filters that people don’t look human any more.

I mean, you said it yourself and I went and checked. On March 7, there was a us embassy alert to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours. Wouldn’t be much to check it out before executing and replan.
I really just need to talk about this to someone. I’m in college and I’ve always loved to learn, but now I don’t feel motivated do my school work or to study, but at the same time, when a test roles around and I don’t know how to answer the questions I get stressed and care about trying to do well. I’ve also always...
Edited to add: I Guess I didn’t really address the point specifically about not studying and struggling with the tests. That was me the entirety of my education, from the first grades I can remember all the way through my 8.5 years of college with 2 degrees. I just didn’t care, especially when the homework itself wasn’t graded. I’m not sure how to help on that point specifically, other than to say that you’re not alone, and I made it with similar issues.
It’s really difficult to stay motivated for as long as we’re in education. Do you know where your current standing is specifically in those two courses? Could you go to those two professors and voice what you’re facing and see if there’s any recommendations they can provide you?
It’s ok to fail. We don’t want that to be our normal state but it’s ok. It’s ok to be tired and struggling with motivation. A big part of learning is learning how to adapt to new situations and not just learning a particular topic. College is about both and then some.
What year are you in? Some of those early courses are meant to get you to the next step, and some (it’s been a while for me, maybe it isn’t this way anymore) seemed like they were intentionally designed to get people to quit. Weed out courses, so to say.
One of those weed out courses I went through was a huge attendance first level physics course that it seemed like nobody was doing well. About 1/4 dropped it over time to avoid the failing grade.
In the end, the professor did a flat full 2 grade “curve” for everyone that stuck it out. I don’t think his intent was to teach, I think it was to break those who would be willing to drop. I don’t like the concept of those courses, and I don’t even know if they exist anymore, but that’s also something to consider if the ones you’re failing in have that kind of feeling to them.
Keep trying, you’re not a failure just because you’ve failed at something, and sometimes this is part of life. You’ve got this.
You don’t. In their infinite wisdom they deemed it an unnecessary feature that people like you and I are oddballs for using in that way and removed it for our own betterment.
I forgot I set up tapping the back of the phone to trigger assistant when I found out about this. Obviously it’s super instinctual. You can set this in settings -> system -> gestures -> quick tap to start actions
There are so many times that you see something or are told something and you say that CAN’T be real. But then you remember that we now live in Clown World and anything is possible. The new rule of thumb has to be if big Pharma says it, it probably is a lie
Zero regrets and I’ll get another booster with my flu shot next year. You’re conflating so many different things and binding them with conspiracy to lock it all together.
