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.

Hope they properly bolted in the door plugs

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

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.

It’s a beaut, Clark

Where do you live that this is real?

I’m a big fan of unsweetened soda water. Ila Croix, klarbrunn, bubly.

I make my own though with a soda stream. I have a shit ton of hops as a home brewer so I make flavoring that’s steeped hops (filtered out after steeping), combined 50/50 with juice blend I make 50/50 from lemon and lime. Not the fake from concentrate shit, but I don’t fresh squeeze it either. You can get the real stuff in most grocery stores these days.

So 1/2 hops tea, 1/4 unsweetened lemon juice and 1/4 unsweetened lime juice.

Then I put about an inch of that in a pint glass and fill it the rest of the way with soda water.

Very low calorie and hits the spot. It has helped me entirely stop drinking beer at home.

And not just that, but it’s disingenuous. There’s no real interest here in an answer, it’s just intended to provoke interaction. Even all but the most overt, direct, owning it racists will claim racism is bad, regardless of their own actions and tendencies. Bad post is bad.

Edited to add: I feel like this community should be interpreted as having an implied “genuine” to it regarding the questions involved.

Traffic. I25 north from Denver. 3 hours from when I realized my fuck-up to the next possible exit thanks to a flatbed truck across all 3 lanes trying to remove a white suv that was somehow high centered perpendicular on the concrete median with no visible damage.

I’m kind of naive and gullible. I’m a little embarrassed I hadn’t considered this perspective. It seems so obvious now that you point it out for us.

I think they’re upset that they’ll have to compete with ps5 “influencers” for content that was once exclusive to them, or something stupid and modern age like that

In the companies I’ve worked for, those kind of things just don’t happen. But again, my career has been in for software targeted at very specific markets and users and not general consumption for harvesting. Anyone knowing me would know this is me , but… one was a state health department processing communicable disease reports, one was a software maker for window and door manufacturers. The current and previous were built around making the job easier and faster for other employees in the company. So software to support the product, rather than software as the product

I don’t know if my experience is normal or not, but I’ve pretty much only ever been asked to add beneficial functionality. I also don’t work in general web consumption so when I’m asked to do something it seems like it’s for better function rather than consumer utilization.

A question like this reminds me of back when I was regularly using deadspin and other gawker media when it was bankrupted, sold, and reworked to be an ad and data collection farm. I’d probably have done, what it at least appeared most devs did, and left.

I’m not adding to any conversation really but this is pretty much my answer too
