@Tails0nEmezcal is pretty good stuff. I guess I meant more like do you have your own go to recipe for yourself, or if someone just came up and said make me a drink what would you make them?

Also not a fan of storing books on an angle, kind of warps the book. Didn't notice before but I see a few of you do that.

Today is National Gardening Day, so plant some seeds.
Weather here is crazy, are we about to skip Spring? Still, got more cold tolerant stuff down like spinach and peas. Ended up doing some sunflowers for the hell of it. If I get anything it will grow up and block the view from the nosey. Have perennial wildflower seeds on the way to help convert an area where shrubbery is losing out.

That's fantasy shit and display type stuff

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.

Hellllllllll naw. The many trainers I’ve already consulted with strongly recommend as a stepping stone to what with eventually turn into a e collar. I can already tell he’s going to need it regardless. Dude is insanely strong and definitely doing what he wants too much.
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 don't get this. I keep seeing these squatter stories, not unique to NYC either, and I do not get it. Like I get there are people taking advantage of laws and shit, but how the fuck does someone just jump in your property and you come home and do nothing?? Worst case scenario I'm thinking I'm waiting outside for you because you have to come out some time motherfucker and I am going to stomp your ass. Or, it's my property, I'll bust the window at night and drop mace in that shit, clear it right out.

Nahhhh fam. I missed this post but glad I caught it. I got beef, minimal beef, but beef nonetheless with allllll my crust punk, metal, HC homies that do this shit with their kids. Granted it’s probably why mine turned into a swifty lolol but fr. I was firmly against pushing all my shit down my kids throat and just letting her ease into whatever she wants naturally. I see em at shows all the time with the green hair and the fucking shirts and whatever, idk why it bothers me so much lololol. Been bringing my daughter to the occasional show every now and again since forever but she’s not really down. I have impeccable taste in music and always played her everything since birth. I used to get that kid to stop screaming and pass out to the smooth sounds of sleep when she was a couple months old, video to prove it. Does she know who sleep is now or where the shirts? Hell na. She definitely knows way more hip hop but nothing like the shit she’s actually into herself. Probably the only kid in her school who knows gangstarr or big L but she’s in her own lane and I respect it but it’s weird as fuck lol. I’m always on good shit around her 100% of the time but not with her 100% of the time either, bout half with her mom half with me, her mother has ok taste in music but she’s definitely down with radio pop sometimes and that’s where the garbage comes from. Movies and music on my end always proper but it’s almost like it doesn’t even matter lol. She loves that Taylor swift.
I'm not saying indoctrinate the kids into a lifestyle, just that people share their shit with their kids while letting them explore their own likes too. I grew up hearing my folks play certain shit. I'm older than most of you and I can remember early elementary school a kid coming in with an AC/DC shirt. By 4th grade I remember dudes in 6th grade that had spiked bracelets and jean jackets with Iron Maiden patches. IDK, all influences. Different strokes? In my house when Ozzy comes on the radio or whatever you better be able to ID that voice.

@One Man Banned its basically people shoving avocados in their ass and nikocado avocado's asshole .
the second one had all of twitter and reddit united in scrubbing that image from the internet .
Funny that you do know but too late for my own curiosity to have googled before I typed that. There was also a woman painted in dark avocado with her crotch in light avocado and she was shoving an avocado up there.
Personally, if they're not ripe enough yet I just place them next to a banana but to each their own.
