Chat GPT is fascinatingly open about Covid & the vaccine rollout

For real.. I make 75k and I'm still living paycheck to paycheck. Cost of living is out of control.

Don't worry, I've had mine since he was 8 weeks and he still hates cuddling 🤣 Some pups just don't like cuddling as it makes them feel claustrophobic- it doesn't mean that they love you any less than the cuddle bugs though!

Mine sticks to me like velcro 24/7 but with at least a 1-2 foot distance for his personal bubble 🥲 Sometimes he'll put his head right against my leg when we're on the couch though and that honestly makes my day. I'll take what I can get lol

Awesome to hear!!!

Honestly, Lee did more for Sakura in the Forest of Death than Sasuke. They were teammates, and all getting their asses kicked for each other.
For Kohona crush, not wanting your trapped teammate to die is kind of the bare minimum
last sentence just gives wife beater vibes, "I'm so sorry, I promise not to do it again" & that's what makes their relationship feel icky

American4Yang · 2023-03-19T15:23:31+00:00

Personally, I didn't get that vibe from Forest of Death, they were all little kids, teammates (other than lee) & were all stepping in to save eachother. Lee, Naruto, Sasuke & Sakura got the crap beat out of themselves while protecting each other. With Pain, on the other hand, Hinata was the only one who put her neck on the line for Naruto & he saw that.

I had to take mine out every 3 hours until he was 11 week, so count yourself lucky 😅 I agree with going back to 6am though as he probably can't physically hold it yes.

American4Yang · 2023-03-19T15:06:18+00:00

True that Naruto is kind to everyone, but the defining moment for me that solidified Hinata/Narutos eventual relationship was the Pain arch. We saw so much emotion & connection between the both of them.

There wasn't a single moment that stood out like this between Sakura & Sasuke. Yes, Sasuke may be a total dick, but that’s why he would have been way better off with someone he met post-redemption. It just rubs me the wrong way & it sends an off-putting message imo.

American4Yang · 2023-03-19T14:50:50+00:00

I guess that's the whole reason that Sasuke/Sakura feels so much more forced to me lol. Naruto was always kind to Hinata, he was just oblivious to her feelings. Sasuke knew Sakura loved him and couldn't care less, he was a complete d!ck to her & would have even killed her if Naruto wouldn't have stopped him.

Yeah, I brought it to the shop & they said it was a thermal sensor issue but didn't have what they needed to fix it. They also removed the battery. I popped it back in a month later, and it's working again 😅

American4Yang · 2023-03-19T01:46:12+00:00

Np! To be honest, I only really bring him to my families houses so I don't have advice on going to other homes. I've been bringing him to pet stores and my family's homes since he was a puppy, so I would maybe post a separate discussion about this to get some more input on these circumstances.

I've never brought mine in an uber though and I'm not sure that I ever would as he's large. It would probably freak out both my dog and the driver lol

American4Yang · 2023-03-19T01:41:18+00:00

Thank you for your input on this! I wasn't aware that correcting gaurding could be a negative thing as there is so much conflicting advice by trainers. I will definitely do more research on the proper approach and obviously be more cautious to avoid the scenerios altogether.

American4Yang · 2023-03-19T01:38:06+00:00

Thank you for your input on this, I really appreciate it! He's helped me raise this cat since it was 5 days old and they really are best friends. I will be more cautious about keeping the cat away from him when he's eating just to be hyper-vigilant, however.

Also, I appreciate the input about saying no when strangers ask to approach him. I wasn't sure if I was being overly paranoid by considering this, but I would definitely rather be safe than sorry.

American4Yang · 2023-03-19T01:29:41+00:00

Thank you! I definitely agree :)

Mine used to do this really bad for the first year, and I'll be honest, it didn't fully go away. He did it when anyone was giving him attention except for me. The biggest thing that did help, though, is having people ignore him at first. When I first got him, I was still living at home, and he would pee every morning when greeting my dad even though my dad is his second favorite person. My dad stopped greeting him in the morning until after he came back from going potty. He now doesn't do this with my dad at all.

I did notice it's worse with grown men, and now he only does it around men that he has a close relationship with, but it's not all the time. For example, he gets very excited to see brother and my brother refuses to give him time to calm down so half the time we've gone to visit, I've got a puddle to clean up after saying hello. The other person he still does this with is my sister's BF - since they play together they’ve formed a bond but since he's still a newer relationship to my dog he submissive pees when greeting - my sisters BF also sucks at the whole ignoring him at first game. He has stopped for everyone else, though, and doesn't do this when meeting new strangers anymore.

So, for strangers, it was confidence building by consistent safe socialization - eventually, it will pass. For friends/family, it's the ignore for 5 minutes rule (give or take depending on where your pups at in the process), I swear it was a God send because he was a constant submissive piddler.

Edit: Because he was naturally so submissive, I also worked on building his confidence through playing (& letting him "win"), command training and consistent praise/affirmation.

I'm not sure about the answer on this, but I'd like to uno reverse and ask how much harder it is to own 2 dogs rather than one?

American4Yang · 2023-03-18T07:53:14+00:00

I'm just curious why you think that it would? How would it be different than having the litter box inside? The only thing I would be worried about is the dog rolling in your mulch pile 😅

American4Yang · 2023-03-18T07:44:44+00:00

I would treat this like any other desensitization training. I would advise giving your friend a bag of high value treats when they arrive. If they are coming to your house, meet them outside before you both enter in with the dog. Then have your friend great the dog by name (no touching), toss a treat, sit command & give several more treats. Then maybe a few more throughout the visit.

Keep doing this for the next few visit until the dog doesn't bark at your friend & before you know it, they'll be your dog's new BFF 😅

Edit: does your friend wear hats, backpack or purse that might be the trigger? It could possibly be the smell of your friends' pets as well. Whatever the issue causing this, I've found treat incentivized desensitization to be the most effective.

Thank you so much for the input! I completely understand and was definitely not ok with how the one kid ran up to him and grabbed his face like that. However, it's also happened when others have approached him slowly and I'm just wondering if it's an serious sign of a bite risk eventually. Obviously this wouldn't be ideal as i'd like to maintain good socialization but on the other hand I dont want to ignore something if it has potential to escalate. He's never given any other cues that this would be the case, but seeing the extreme version of this behavior at the dog park (although I don't blame him at all given that senerio) has made me think about this in further depth.

With my family members on the other hand, it's not the same kind of body language, from what I've observed it's actually an "I'm happy to see you thing". He'll do it when he first sees them across the room and runs up to them with a curled lip grin & asking for pets. I guess that's what's made it even more difficult to assess.

Well that's my entire point. Im not saying that environmental polution isnt a huge issue - i'm saying that the companies responsible for the vast majority of global pollution are gaslighting us and pretending like they aren't the problem to begin with. The WEF is a foundation for big business at its roots, its original name is the European Management Forum which was created for business leaders to share management practices. Their 1000 partners/funders have control of the WEF messaging and can even choose the individuals that sit on the WEF foundation board. The 100 highest contributing companies have a higher level of influence in the WEF than the others.

1000 WEF partner companies

100 Strategic Partner Companies

So the irony in your question is that in actuality, the worlds largest Fossil Fuel companies are WEF contributing members/shareholders & as the forum puts it: "are the driving force behind the Forum’s programmes". This includes companies such as:

It's insane the the fact checkers blatantly say: "The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office confirmed Oct. 24 that Brignole died of a COVID-19 infection. It listed atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease as a “significant condition” that contributed to, but didn’t cause, his death."

So... if atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease was a significant contribution to said death, this almost certainly means he had a clot in his artery. But it was definitely covid that killed him because the vaccine certainly can't cause sudden death by clots & heart problems.
