    If it's not autism it's anxiety disorder, ADHD, borderline personality disorder,  Neurodivergent, etc. etc. 
    These quack shrinks teamed up with big pharma are making a killing off these kids  convincing them all that they're nuts. 
    Meanwhile the ones with actual mental delusions about gender are being told that they're actually normal for the same exact reason. So that the shrinks and big pharma can make a killing off the surgery and hormone therapy etc.

    This is actually kinda a much better response than i was finna type out. Gonna drop it anyways though. I think it’s all the same ass reason so many buzzwords and cliche ideals about every little popular bullshit get rolling. Fuckin social media and the internet spiral everything out of control to the point where total nobodies without a medical doctorate has so many idiots following their nonsense. Crazy part is how obvious it is. Also crazy conflicted because I fuck with how much awareness is out there for any of this stuff. Just annoying to see how ridiculous it all is.

    Not washing your hands after a shit is gross.

     

    If I touch anything in a public restroom I’m washing my hands.

     

    Only time I don’t wash my hands after taking a leak in public restroom is if I don’t touch anything including my wiener.

     

    Opening doors after I wash my hands with a paper towel.

     

    I would probably call those dudes out for throwing trash on the ground if it wasn’t an accident. Someone has to clean that stuff up and that behavior makes their job more difficult.

     

    Rest of it I would chalk up to them being weirdos.

    I can dig most of this but am a guilty not all the timer washer after taking a leak. Way I see it is, if I don’t touch anything then I’m neither contaminating myself or other dudes. The poor souls that have to clean said bathrooms have a job doing so and that is what it is. Hopefully they glove up. But yeah I pretty much never touch anything in public bathrooms unless I gotta drop a heat bomb in which case I always wash up and use the damp towels to make my exit or the bottom of my shirt. I been in manual labor jobs for years crawling around on bathroom floors and using 5 gallon buckets for a poop so long a lot of that stuff doesn’t phase me but it’s habit at this point for some reason in public facilities to try not to touch anything. Unless poopin.

    Are anyone else's parents displaying heavy boomerism that the internet has been clowning on recently?  My mom has started talking to people in the service industry like she is doing a Google search and the other day she grabbed some ladies stroller and started to try and wheel their baby somewhere else that was out of her way, without even saying something to the mother. As she grabbed the stroller I heard her mutter something like "I'll just move this," like how dare anyone ever be in her way or like it was an abandoned cart in the parking lot. 

     

    I'm not gonna lie, I secretly hoped for this lady to dress my mother down in public and make a fucking spectacle out of her.

    Idfk man. I got weird parents but I mostly fall in line with the it don’t fucking matter what they do it’s all love and respect lane. My old man barely deserves it but I give anyways. Moms is golden but weird af. She’s always saying and doing questionable shit but that’s moms. Way I see it there’s only maybe two lanes that could/should get your makers canceled from your life and we’re all smart enough to know what those things probably are without having to say it. Otherwise idk most of the shitty ones were just doing the best they knew how. All these pussy ass kids today are the fucking worst. My moms a narcissist my dads emotionally abusive to my cat. I wish a couple generations would just disappear. Or go claim a shit state and never speak again.

    Also I was deadass at work thinking what would make a Chicago Dog cocktail.. it probably won't be good, but it'd be a thing.. genuinely thinking like what would be the base spirit? Would I infuse the dogs with the booze or pour the hot dog water separately? Up or on the rocks? Pickle spear and sport pepper covered in celery salt would have to be the garnish..

     

    Might have to r&d this for the oontz as disgusting as it may be

    Just take all that nonsense Chicago people put on hot dogs and stick it in some kind of Bloody Mary fam. Voila. Chicago dog drink.

    Just purchased a month of HBO to watch Tokyo Vice and see what else is up, anybody recommend the latest true detective or anything?


    only because it’s something to watch. But not a single true detective after the first season has been anything amazing I don’t think. If you like comedy or anything like eastbound and down, that righteous gemstones show was absolute fucking gold.

    Everything forward IMHO.  Caring for an animal does not automatically equate to treating them well.  Some of those photos are cool but I find the muzzles questionable along with the reasoning for the pinch collars.  Look at the "standard" collars those dogs are already wearing.  The widest collar I use to control dogs larger than those is 1".  Also worth noting that quote about war being inhumane in its nature, and some of those methods with the dogs might be crossing that line.  In any event you're talking about dogs now being used more as a tool than as a pet, and the lives of those dogs are very far removed from that of a house pet.

     

    NOES I'm just going to kick out some thoughts and perspectives here and you can take or leave what you like.  

     

    My personal experience with the prong collar was that it was recommended to me by a trainer without a lot of training around its use.  It's a tool and should only be worn during training, and definitely never when playing with other dogs.  The collar didn't do a lot to stop the problem behavior, and I realized over time that the collar is pinching the scruff of the neck, something I could do myself with just my hand, more humane perhaps while still achieving the same results.  It is a bit of an immature move in that puppies are taken by the scruff of their neck by their mothers but this does not occur in adulthood.  As I've gotten older and more experienced with dogs it's become clear that most problems are handler error, and that basic leash handling skills and some behavioral know how is mainly all I've needed since for all sorts of breeds.  Leash handling means that we are using the leash to communicate with the dog, and we are also using the leash to direct or correct the dog's behavior.  In other words the leash is more than a rope that connects the dog to us, it is a tool.

     

    Did you buy your dog for a pet, as protection, both?  More?  Plenty of dogs will be natural protectors or guards of your home without having to do all the other stuff.  It does make a difference in terms of your search for help.  If you're searching based on breed or protection you're more likely to find people who do those specific tasks, versus if you search for an animal behaviorist or certified trainer you will find plenty of people who can work with you and your dog using other, different techniques.  Those people will also have testimonials about those methods.  

     

    My buddy was a dog handler for the military.  I've definitely seen plenty of dogs at work in different branches of law enforcement, never seen any of them wearing a prong or e-collar.

     

    There is no protection type breed.  There are breeds that get used for that, but a GSD is a working/herding dog.  They like to work, they can handle the grind of work, and like any working class guy when the work is done they want to have a drink at the bar and spend some time with the family.

     

    Do you need a tool to gain compliance/obedience from your dog? 

     

    How come you're not in charge already? 

     

    Do you want your dog to comply because he respects you, or because he fears the pinch/shock?

     

    Are you using the proper motivation for your dog? 

     

    Let's say you go with an e-collar, and one day you open your door to get the mail or have a smoke and your dog bolts out.  In that moment you're probably not holding the e-collar remote in your hand.  What now?  What brings your dog back?

     

    I'm more of a positive reinforcement type of guy, although I don't use it exclusively.  I do consider the dog's behavior and what motivates them.  I do research each breed I take if I'm not familiar with it to understand any breed specifics.  

     

    One of my basics for good obedience is the feeding ritual.  I do crate feed, but even if I didn't, the dog will sit for their food, wait for me to place it down, and then will eat when I release them.  Every time.  I train my dog and all fosters to respond to verbal and/or hand commands.

     

    There are times where an e-collar might be appropriate but I'm looking more at your hounds and prey driven hunting dogs that will follow their instinct if allowed.

    I got this guy for a bit of both yes. Protection/family pet. I’ve done a lot with him already and he definitely listens but he’s in his prime of I’m a German Shepard mf I do what I want stage.  That shit you do with feedings I do religiously btw. He’s done it since I got him at 8 weeks early October to this day. Crate feed sit & stay outside while I leave him alone a while before ok. My buddy has a 1.5 yr old from the same parents and he’s a psycho. Does all the German command shit and tons of tons training I straight up don’t have the time for on the level but my main issues I feel are going to be settled up with professional trainings and I’m not sure why but yeah they’ll all be using those prong to e collar methods from what I’ve gathered. I hear the argument on what happens when the shit isn’t on but I think it’s supposed to be foundational and way out in the future e collars just good for hiking camping or hunting. Frankensteins come a long way but if he doesn’t feel like listening or wants to play on his own terms he can be a real mf and I’m not having that shit.

    Hoping to catch Civil War this weekend. Curious if it’ll be some Hollywood nonsense, thinly veiled propaganda or a half decent movie that maybe has people think a little before arguing with anyone that disagrees with their point of view. 

    Definitely not running to theaters for this one but I wanna see what’s up for sure. If it’s a24 I’m expecting not Hollywood nonsense.

    Thanks! Yeah man. There is a very long wait list to renounce citizenship rn. That's all I'll say about that. 

    How long ago did you move up there if you don’t mind my asking? I have a guy that works for me time to time that bounced to bc area and got married then kicked out lololol. 

  9. Before sitting down with I think the second trainer I was getting quotes from I thought the e collar thing was wild and excessive. Took a moment but after hearing them out and fact checking all the testimonies they plugged me into I could tell pretty quick it was a common misconception they either do harm or “break” trust it’s all about how you use them. The e collar thing. I bought one a while ago and read a book on it hence why I never got around to using it yet cause they say very very specifically if the dogs not already fully entrusted to you and following all basic commands + it will end up fucking them up.

    Much respect and do you, it's a preference.  I'll suggest though that you can have an obedient dog without that collar or an e-collar.  I'm not sure exactly what you meant by the pinch collar being a precursor for an e-collar but if you're paying money, likely good money, to a trainer for that advice think about that for a moment and either save your money or get a new trainer.  IMHO.

    I’ve sat down with 6 different trainers in my area since late November, haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Each one specializes in gsd’s and other protection type breeds.  So far they’ve all stated they’d be using one or both methods. Plus I’ve heard of all the different approaches and all signs seem to point in bare minimum working with prong collars. At least in reading online or the hundreds of YouTube trainer folks I’ve watched. I’m curious what your avenue is, also if it’s breed specific or not?

    More bullshit - fun fact you have to file your USA taxes even if you don't live in the USA anymore. 😑 The USA is one of very few countries that does this. It sucks Screenshot_20240411-193105.png.cc64352464fe963b99270bd8bf97178f.png
