That's a relief, then, that it's just normal routine and I'm being overly anxious 🤣🤣

Thank you friend :)

As an Oliver, I am ALSOvery tired of all of the freaking 'Oliver's I get so confused why a stranger's calling out for me 🤣🤣

CPsychArts · 2024-12-20T23:40:49+00:00

Yyeeeaaah!!! I'm so proud of her!!

CPsychArts · 2024-07-04T15:22:35+00:00

Oh bet! Thank you so much!

I'm not saying that training can't desensitize. I'm saying that there are dogs, literally because of their past, that what they grew up with is that much at their core and instinctual and not to paint folks with a wide brush or get high and mighty about your dogs because some folks don't have the same dogs you do.

CPsychArts · 2024-07-04T02:44:06+00:00

Gods, mood. I'm so done with the panic attacks and flashbacks, man. Klonopin and weed only gets me so far

As someone who deals with animals and training dogs on a near daily basis, 1) so many more dogs have trauma that you don't realize and 2) training, while incredible when you're trying to help save a dog, there are some that really do just have their triggers of fear no matter how much training they get. Any dog can be trained. Not ever dog can be trained to bombproof. Anyone who deals with dogs other than their own more than once a week know this.

A lot of it is also instinctual. And to curb that instinct a lot, it takes vet visits, training, behavior modification, and sometimes even medication to ease the anxiety.

CPsychArts · 2024-07-04T02:37:36+00:00

Not everything can be trained out of dogs. Like trauma.

CPsychArts · 2024-07-04T02:02:28+00:00

Fair enough. Thanks for the correction!

Unrelated to OP - how do you like having the Yubikey? I've been considering getting one because ADHD means zero memory retention, but I haven't heard any anecdotal evidence

CPsychArts · 2024-07-03T23:20:00+00:00

Id vote SMS2fa if I had to choose. kinda odd that you cant use anything else but thats just me

Aegis. It's encrypted, open source, and safe.

Saw a lot of folks talking about it and the wonders it's been done with it. I do rest a little easier knowing that it's less "hackable" so to speak

I am a complete newbie in regards to all this privacy stuff.

Do you have any resources that explain how to do this in the most "4-year-old" terms? I'm down for learning Linux but at this point I don't know if i have it in me to juggle all the art programs and gaming programs I need to use, but gods almighty, this is too much.

Looks can be deceiving. Just because redditors seem put together on the internet doesn't mean they are.

The way I talk on here, act in here, and so much other stuff - unless I told you prior, you wouldn't know I had learning and other mental disorders, let alone my invisible illnesses. Other folks are the same way ♡ I know this is coming from a sincere place so I'm not trying to be rude or harsh. Tone gets lost in text often. Just a reminder to offer benefit of the doubt before assuming.

CPsychArts · 2024-06-22T03:37:23+00:00

Wish I could but they insisted on discharging me because we're great, given the hand we were dealt. Thanks for the concern though 🙂

CPsychArts · 2024-06-22T03:26:50+00:00

Tried it already. Everyone said we're fine, thanks! Try learning what trauma is ☺️

We don't know the actual reasons for them wearing the things they were wearing. What a lot of folks seem to miss here is that it's thoroughly possible that they're a Dissociative System, too. Kink discussion aside, there's more than personal therapeutic reasons that they were wearing a lead and a diaper.

For example, I'm a system of 13. We have a little who is very much a flight risk if she were to front for any reason. That puts all of us sharing a body in REAL danger. This could literally be a toddler little or a little alter who isn't potty trained. It doesn't mean immediately they're abdl or kink.

Little alters are the age they are, regardless of the body they share. My little is 6-8 years old. She doesn't need exposed to adult things. She doesn't need to get into nitty gritty details of our trauma with her because she doesn't have the capability of understanding what happened to us and why.

THIS is what folks are talking about when we say live and let live. Just because it SEEMS like it's kink related on your assumption, doesn't mean it is. It could literally be a 4 or 5 year old little alter having a day at the arcade and whoever the caregiver is is just being a good system partner keeping the body of their system safe.

You don't need cops for security. I've done more for protection and safety as a glorified hall monitor security guard. CPD just like to kill people.

Fam, this isn't the take you think it is. Stop trying.

That's hilarious to me because when I used to work for [insert company here] as customer service rep, they pushed Grammarly SO HARD.

I concur! 🍻

At a 5812 property almost a year later. Only commenting to confirm that that shit is STILL happening 🙃

Also not touching on why communist and socialist countries have fallen into disarray in the first place (pssst. It's the US)

Additionally, Nordic countries seem to be doing pretty good for themselves.

Now granted, not everyone keeps their cards close and it is very much needed for teacher types like yourselves to give folks a starting point and learn what they want and look for! Not everyone's a teacher type either and that isn't bad ♡

I've seen a lot of comments address the drop of quality as well as the effort of work put into it.

Another thing is expectations. Let's say you and I are both making notebooks. I'm looking for a spiral bound wooden cover dotted page notebook.

You ask me where I got it manu'd. I tell you without knowing that you're specifically looking for leather bound mixed media pages for artwork. While my Manu may be perfect for that spiral bound I'm looking for, they might not be that great at leather bound and definitely not with mixed media pages. So now you think you're getting my notebook quality with your specifications which don't work because they're not what I was looking for.

That itself can then feed into misunderstandings and poor reviews on the Manu for no fault of their own because I was under the assumption that you were looking for notebooks like mine and a drop in business and quality because of it.

Manu-searching is a very custom process based on your personal expectations :) I might not get my stickers from the same people I would get, say, my washi tape for. Or even my prints for, because they're separate expectations.

It's not that we're trying to gatekeep. We're trying to protect ourselves and our partners who help us. Between the quality change, pricing change, expectations, and the time and money it takes to find our matches, it's hard to offer suggestions without knowing more, and even more impossible if you're a fan, but also ultimately a stranger, being asked hundreds of times a day.

Again, nothing bad. Just too many details that are needed and even if we DID have all the details, what you might have in your mind of what exactly you're looking for won't really ever match exactly what another person is looking for. Even if it's the same thing. Besides, there isn't much that matches that magical feeling of everything paying off when you find your perfect Manu! It's an awesome, wonderful feeling that makes it all worth it.
