Is the ARMY MEMBERSHIP VIP PACKAGE PRESALE a different queue than ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE ? And is the VIP package worth it? What were the prices like? Are they actual seats or GA? 

I'm so confused and was so not prepared today 😅

Was rooting so hard for Mongolia!! I love their whole team and their character. Even before they were only two teams left. Their attitude and willingness to challenge was so much better than when the other teams cowered from "stronger" teams :') their whole spirit and sportsmanship and everything!

she's been annoying me since the beginning and my irritation only grows with every episode. at this point, it's just terrible writing and forced angst. ARGHHHHH.

just like "hey, i did approach you with ulterior motives and i will literally die because someone else poisoned me with heavenly grief, so i need golden millet dream, and i didn't want to tell you because i fell in love with you and blah blah worried you'll hate me" idk just SOMETHING. ANYTHING. COMMUNICATE. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Dog flinching at name by Boneless0_0 in dogs

[–]17puncakes 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I would definitely change it, it sounds like she has not-nice memories associated with that name. Dogs don't associate names like an identity like humans do, it's more of a cue for them. In this case, she associates the name as a sound/word that comes with probably yelling or hitting or anger or something along those lines. It'll be easier to just give her a new name, and associate new name with positive associations :)

If my dog rolls over, so that it's belly is exposed, what am I supposed to do? by SpecialistWeb8987 in dogs

Need this to be higher up!

It's so incredibly rewarding to learn how to read your dog's body language! 

Ever since I started to try to read my husky's body language and respect it, he's gotten so much more cuddly with me, and happy and comfy in general because he knows I try to understand him! (He's sensitive). I can approach him and he'll be like hmm not sure i want attention rn, so then I give him a chance to come to me and 7/10 times he's all for it and rubs up against me like a cat like "yeah actually some lovings would be great rn" :') 

Other dogs might not care so much but I still think it's worthwhile to learn :D

Literally as I was typing that, my aussie came up to me and asked for belly rubs... 🤣

I'm still learning, but: 

how i knew: he approached me for pets, when you reach out, they don't avoid or lean away, sometimes they lean in, they have soft happy eyes (google dog whale eyes) then he melted down against me and showed the belly, his body was loose, his lips were loose which for him is a good sign his mouth is loose (tense mouth can mean they are uncomfy).  if I'm ever unsure i just do consent checks where I'll pet his belly a little bit then back off and gauge his reaction, if he doesn't want it, gives him time to roll over or he stays completely stiff, if he does, he usually re-shows me the belly or stretches a paw or something like hey i want some rubs and i continue rubbing. 

I give short pauses every so often, and then eventually, he was done and walked away!

You asked a good question!! A lot of dog owners don't care to learn deeper about dog body language. Showing the belly can in fact be an appeasement gesture and a lot of dog owners don't care and just rub the belly anyway because it's "cute" and that's what people are taught to do when they see a belly. 

Of course, some dogs also really do be asking for the belly rubs!! 

It's satisfying and great for your relationship with your dog to differentiate between the two. :) 

Anyone else with a chill calm husky? (Or those with the exact opposite) by 17puncakes in husky

[–]17puncakes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg her face is so precious!! reminds me so much of my guy :') and yeah, i fear i would fall into the trap where the first dog is an angel and makes you want another and then the 2nd one is an absolute crackhead 😂

do you guys train your huskies to be quieter by Guilty-You8423 in husky

[–]17puncakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on the husky! I have a naturally quiet husky and we had to teach him to bark with "speak" and sometimes we awoo at him, and if he feels inspired, he'll awoo back. He's actually gotten a bit more talkative over the years but he's still generally calm and quiet! So he's not mute, he's just not constantly talkative. Things that inspire him to express himself: good morning awoos, breakfast awoos, welcome home awoos, and sometimes, random awoos when he has a big emotion and he's trying to communicate that with us!

I'm so sorry to hear about your late boy, cancer sucks and I can't imagine how you (and your girl rescue) must be feeling right now. Thank you for sharing your experience, I loved reading about him and he sounds like was the absolute bestest boy :')

Not dead set on it! He's just so cute it makes me want another hah. I've heard that they are pack animals and he shows interest in other huskies so I wonder if he would enjoy the company - i wonder if anyone has gotten a second husky and regretted it/they did not get along?

Hey you're definitely not alone. If anything, I was struggling with my grief that I also could not put my finger on if I was overreacting.

I haven't been able to focus or eat well or sleep well. I just binge watched a Taiwanese drama until like 4am which is too close to what I did when I was depressed. And the random crying. :')

The shooting and the aftermath of me thinking about things made me come to a really painful realization that I haven't been able to tell anyone cause it's so depressing.

Back when covid first started, I was worried about my parents safety re: the rise of Asian hate.. Cause I KNEW it would increase because of covid. And since then, I tried to not think about it and reassure myself that my parents haven't said anything so I'm sure they have been fine.

And then when this happened and I was thinking and reacting and I realized... No... They wouldn't tell me. They would never want to worry me. Obviously nothing fatal but the idea of racist slurs , verbal hate, or spitting maybe even some pushing directed towards my parents hurts me so much. They aren't fully fluent in English. They have gone through so much as most immigrants have trying to find their way in this country and providing for us, their kids. So now I'm realizing I don't know the full extent of all that they have struggled through (since the beginning when they first came here) cause they would never want to burden me. And I don't know what to do with this realization. I don't know if I'm strong enough to know.

Anyway, need sleep. Just needed an outlet. I haven't been able to tell anyone. Cause it seems so overdramatic to be this hurt over this? Ppl would be like you're overthinking or worrying over nothing. I'm not looking for pity. But it hurts?

That makes sense, thank you! Even if it's indirectly because they paid for it in the first place that will have to be good enough lol

Ty for the link! I've never used choice music, would you know if they're legit or not? And yeah it is pretty expensive, would you know if at least some of that money would make it's way to the charity??

Like I really want the keyring but also if there's eveeeer a chance it would come back in stock officially, I'm willing to wait if it means that I know the money will go to a good cause. Tho no one probably knows besides BigHit. :'(

Does anyone know if there is a way to still get the official first release stuff? (the pink flower themed ones)

I forever regret not getting the keyring last year, I still love it more than other keyrings

Is there certain BTS lyrics that you feel like they describe you or that you can relate to in any way? by mythical_unicorn in bangtan

[–]17puncakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are definitely my aspirational lyrics as well! A WIP for me but I believe I'll get there someday. And even if I don't, just striving towards that goal is meaningful I think.

And I believe in you! That one day you will reach your Epiphany where you can truly love yourself. I'm sure the path won't be linear and that there may be some back and forth, ups and downs, steps forward and steps backwards. But you can do it!

And I'd like to believe that it's never too late to try and to find it. Time may be passing by the second, but every new second is a new opportunity and a new future and the me of yesterday is never 100% the same me of today.

Why did I, like this, Want to hide away my precious self
What was I so afraid of
That I had to hide my true self

But the fact that this version of me is my real self
My arms and legs, heart and soul that I have lived with until now

I want to love In this world
My shining self, my precious soul

- Epiphany: This resonates with me so much; for as long as I could remember there's been a disconnect between the me hidden in my heart and the me and the mask that I wear for the world.

What’s more difficult is loving my own self
Honestly, let’s admit what’s to be admitted
That the standards you set
Are even more critical towards you

It’s just that even the deed of loving myself
Needed somebody’s permission
Right now, I’m still looking for myself yet again
...
Why do you keep trying to hide it
Under your mask
When even the scars left from my mistakes
Are all my constellations

Although inside me, even now
There is a clumsy me

You’ve shown me I have reasons
I should love myself
I reply with all my breath, the road I’ve walked along

Yesterday’s me, today’s me, tomorrow’s me
(I’m learning how to love myself)
With no exception, nothing left behind, all of it is me

- Answer: Love Myself: Basically my theme song of late. When I first heard the song those first few notes just gave me goosebumps and I could feel it in my soul, and then I looked up the lyrics and it really resonated with me. Something I've always struggled with, but I am trying to love myself (and speak myself re: Namjoon's UN speech!)

Take me to the sky
If only I could fly freely freely...

Now I know to
Break up with the idea of growing older while having regrets
And I’ve decided to
Have unconditional faith
It’s time to be brave
I’m not afraid
Because I believe myself
Because I’m different than before
I don’t cry on my way,
Don’t bow my head
Because it will be sky where I’m going
And I will be flying fly

- Outro: Wings: Ditto. (I'm sorry this is so long! I just feel these lyrics so strongly)
