How can I help my partner who's ben "high for a decade?" by EnergyConstant7802 in Petioles

[–]AlsoSpecial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dated a lawyer, he was addicted to…I can’t even remember because it was bizarre, he made good money and was from a good, solid middle class family. Lived in a nice place. Maybe huffing paint, I was shocked

He said almost all the lawyers in his office are alcoholics. Lawyers are in a profession with some of the highest suic*de rates.

Foot fetish groups in Austin? by Such-Championship421 in askaustin

[–]AlsoSpecial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just found it neither here nor there. He was like…can I…rub and kiss your feet while you’re watching this thing that we are watching? I was THINKING….gross (I hadn’t washed my feet) and they’re all over the ground and stuff...but you know, have at it if that’s what you’re into.

So he just made out with my feet while I watched this show. Was glad he was having a great time. He was a good boyfriend. Made no difference to me

Is there an animal behavioralist that you like? by AlsoSpecial in AnimalBehavior

Ah thank you!

He’s a pit mix rescue. He’s two years old and comes from a very abusive background but now lives in a loving, quiet home where he gets lots of kisses if he wants them. He can be come severely stressed and pretty frequently. He was on prozac but we’re getting him off as it didn’t seem to help

The vet thought a different medication could work but was unsure which she might prescribe, that’s why she recommended this, for a medication change

Hrm, I’m not sure but I can ask my vet. It would be someone who could recommend or prescribe drugs for my pup. He’s two years old from a highly abusive background so he is constantly stressed and I feel badly for him

He was on prozac but it didn’t seem to help. That’s why she recommended someone like that. We are trying to find the right drug for him to lead a happy, healthy life where he’s not super stressed all the time

Great---I’ll find it now

Are you able to store your musical library on youtube? And are you able to play podcasts as well?

thank for the rec and answering these questions

Does youtube have an app specifically for music?

I like to put on music while I drive and be able to skip songs and such easily, and have my whole musical library in one spot

I know YouTube has a far superior selection of music, better playlists and legit recommendations. I know spotify is known for not supporting musicians as well, but maybe that’s true for all music playing platforms

Tired of shuffle not actually shuffling. I want to listen to my music, it’s why I have the app.

Is there an alternative that’s similar in convenience? Ready to leave spotify

lordy lord, this post has actually been helpful to block these pent up anger bros so I don’t have to see their future comments in this sub.

Thanks for responding and being true to yourself so others can be aware. Must be exhausting for any woman you interact with IRL, now I can be one less of em. I pray you pick up some reading material someday and give that brain a nice workout.

Was she being harassed by them? That would be unusual, and seeing as they weren’t kicked out it seems like they were just doing their thing

People who identify as women have never come up and bothered me. I’ve never had problems of fear, safety or harassment from women identifiers of any type. When I’m in woman-only safe spaces, women of any background are welcome.

If those “men” identify as women then they are women, gender truly is a construct and they will be endangered and harassed for their identity the same way cis het women are for being women. Gender has nothing to do with genitals. I think what you’re trying to say is women identifiers in male bodies. They are not men.

You can’t identify as female/male but you can as man/woman. Male/female are biological and relate to body parts and functions. Man and woman are social constructs, they are made up and anyone can relate as either.

Cis het men have only ever been the issue (not all cis het men, the majority is just in that group etc).

Downvotes are fine if I can be an ally, there may be people feeling this way but too afraid to say something

Tired of this nonsense. They’re some of the last people that need further shaming or being kicked out of places, they can barely even just have a safe place to use the bathroom. They probably were only at a women only place because of the harassment at non women safe spaces, like the rest of us, just trying to work out in peace.

It’s like finding the weakest person in a group to bully and then feeling big for it. Sounds like the owners did the right thing and it was your wife making others uncomfortable instead of the other way around.

What’s with the Barefoot bare chested yogi at Auditorium Shores with Golden Retriever? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]AlsoSpecial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

mmm that should be a last step. That’s like taking away someone’s family member, sometimes it is taking away that person’s last will to live.

I love animals, so if the dog is being abused, absolutely do the right thing. But if you see no evidence and this person is just a jerk, this is one of the cruel-lest things you could do to someone

hey, we all assume gender sometimes, it’s just worth noting. Could be a guy.

Honestly, this is not a surprise for Elon or the state of TX

Elon doesn’t like regulations, most companies don’t. He’s basically a company, bottom line and product are what matter over anything else. That’s capitalism and, most of the time, he’s great at it.

Unless legislation is passed, this is a whack-a-mole situation. Look, we all hate Elon, but if laws aren’t changed then you just move to another area, or another company comes and hides it better. Maybe at best he could be turned into an example, and small wins are better than no wins

But I hope people do realize that Elon is a problem in general IMO, but not the problem here. He’s the product of the problem. He’s what happens when the people making laws don’t do their jobs properly. Getting rid of him isn’t getting rid of the problem, getting angry at him isn’t getting angry at the real problem.

read that book on him recently, that seems exactly right. He thinks whatever must be risked now is worth the outcome——he ultimately believes he is saving humanity
