I think you’ve got part of it right from my recollection and experiences, but not quite the full thing. I think Obama’s success actually lead shitty people to lash out more, which brought trump to power, which emboldened those shitty people to stop hiding it and actually be proud and display it. I think the racism and shittiness was always there but people kept more of a lid on it. We just aren’t able to pretend it isn’t who we are more broadly anymore.
You might get differing answers due to the payment portion of the scenario, but here’s my 2 cents.
No, there’s nothing morally wrong here at any level to me. This is legally ok as far as the ages go, pretty much everywhere.
As long as there’s no power dynamic being abused, and both sides are consenting, go for it.
Reminds me of this read. The Swarm
Whales begin sinking ships. Toxic, eyeless crabs poison Long Island’s water supply. The North Sea shelf collapses, killing thousands in Europe. Around the world, countries are beginning to feel the effects of the ocean’s revenge as the seas and their inhabitants begin a violent revolution against mankind.
Yeah, that is strange. Thank you for the reply.
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
I didn’t think this is an unpopular opinion.
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.
Hope they properly bolted in the door plugs
There’s an entire instance for such things, though I don’t know what more is there beyond mostly porn. Lemmynsfw.com
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.
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
Uh, yes? Good, bad, or otherwise, always has been.
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.
Right? Deja vu, I remember the last time Ticketmaster got “in trouble”. Wash, rinse, repeat
Where do you live that this is real?
You know, I never notice the (M) in NSFW posts and every time “shit, didn’t need to see that.”
But that’s me, and bravo for having the gumption to put it out there. Updoot from this accidental clicker.
Check the roots, you might have pests eating the roots. Could also be too much watering. Hard to say from photos but I definitely think something is wrong below the surface
