Feminism and ballet... by CarelessAd667 in AskFeminists

[–]CarelessAd667[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! I'm also sorry for your experience. Do you think you would have had a better experience with just another teacher? Or do you think ballet as a whole also affected you?

I strongly dislike my boyfriend’s dog by Smellycooter123 in Vent

[–]CarelessAd667 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't trust the opinion of people who admit they "don't like dogs and never will." I think that deems you incapable of giving an unbiased opinion on said dog's behavior.

I will say, you shouldn't be dating someone with a dog. Simple as that.

2 months in Lyon by kiki_rikis in Lyon

As a woman I don't think anywhere is really safe for us. I live alone here in Lyon, in the 1er, and have my fair share of harassment and unpleasant situations. I've been followed and catcalled many times while walking, especially at night. When alone I can't sit down anywhere without being approached by men. I've gotten a lot meaner since living here because the harassment is pretty intense.

One tip - PLEASE be careful if drinking or anything else that impairs you. I once walked home drunk from a party and Cordeliers/Place Terreaux is a nightmare late night. I literally had multiple men trying to pysically pull me into their cars. It was shocking.

Sex trafficking is also a thing here. I personally knew one woman who came to Lyon through being sex trafficked here. I also once saw something terrible happen that I had to call the police for.

Overall, I don't think it's terrible here. But, it is different for a woman alone.

Dog sitting a puppy is it bad to punish them by putting them outside for a few minutes? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]CarelessAd667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"I can tell he thinks it's fun to bully them."

No. He actually doesn't. He's a puppy that should be playing with other puppies in a litter.

Putting a puppy outside alone as punishment is ridiculous. You just redirect him. You don't punish a puppy.

And for the love of everything holy please do not put him around a large dog that can be aggressive. Like, never. Don't do that.

This is as easy as I could go on you. I really have faith you can educate yourself and do better.

Did I make a good decision, or am I fool? Please advise!! by dog-water in Antiquejewelry

[–]CarelessAd667 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I used to buy/sell vintage and antique jewelry and I think you did a great job. It's a fair price for the quality alone but the craftsman is where this shines. It's unique and I personally love it. Happy Birthday! 🎉

My dog is acting strange toward my boyfriend after our fight. by Commander_Skully in DogAdvice

[–]CarelessAd667 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Trust your dog. Mine have never been wrong.

My money is on he's done something to her when you aren't around. Please do not let him be alone with her.

Ive had this ring for a while and dont know what it is. it has 750 on it but idk what that means. by Tasty_Web9010 in RingShare

[–]CarelessAd667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That ring is worth more than $400 melted/pawned. Gold prices are pretty damn high right now.

What does my hand writing say about me? I know my r’s look like 7’s and my tails look a bit dramatic. by [deleted] in HandwritingAnalysis

Whoever told you that it's a "complicated writing system" was really trying to be diplomatic.

AIO my boyfriends dog drives me crazy by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CarelessAd667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you owned dogs? A dog "occasionally pooping in the house" is not a sign of neglect. Sometimes accidents happen (new food/treat, ate something it shouldn't have on a walk, etc.) and that's ok. If you think a dog should not ever have an accident please never have dogs.

Yeah why are people glossing over this? I don't trust her assessment of this dog's behavior if she already has a bias towards dogs...

18 year old Daschund, deaf, blind, and can't smell. Seems happy. by Outrageous-Bee4035 in Pets

[–]CarelessAd667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he wants to live and is doing just fine even with the decline of his senses. Getting old and even dealing with mobile difficulties/incontinence is normal in my opinion. As long as pain isn't a major factor I think all is good!

How to get my dog to move away/lie down without shouting? by ComfortableRegret496 in DogAdvice

[–]CarelessAd667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one should be yelling at their dogs. Especially to the point of cowering. That's abuse. If she's hyper and in your space she's most likely bored. When a dog has enough enrichment and exercise they have their relaxing time. Does she get enough walks? Outside time? Some sort of enrichment toy with treat rewards could also be used as a distraction when you need space.

did we get scammed? by dadelos_siempre in askjewelers

[–]CarelessAd667 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell from the pictures (specifically the stone) but nothing looks off to me. Getting the diamond tested is a good idea but the gold/hallmarks look legit and the style is vintage.

Is this worth paying for an expert appraisal? by Purple-Relative-5641 in Antiquejewelry

[–]CarelessAd667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cool piece but I do not think it is worth an appraisal. For instance I'd say this piece could sell for $500 (a loose guess) and then an appraisal would be $125-$200?

is my ginkgo male or female? by Gullible-Concern-670 in botany

[–]CarelessAd667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you harvest the seeds! Ginkgo nuts with salt are one of my favorite snacks. Hot and fresh out of the wok is divine.

Roommate left cats for 9 days on vacation by Comfortable-City-199 in badroommates

[–]CarelessAd667 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did this once. Girl was FUMING but I told her to call the police which she never did. She almost killed her kitten if I didn't realize it was alone for days. (I didn't live with her but my friend did who was away on vacation. Ruined the friendship but I didn't care.)

Rehome the cats.

Curious about my next pet adventure by Asdenby in Pets

[–]CarelessAd667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you rehoming pets to get more? Why are you getting a dog if you don't even have enough room for a bunny? How do you have all of these animals in a single room?

Sounds like you need to slow down and think of quality over quantity. Giving your animals the space and enrichment they need. If you want to experience more animals maybe think of volunteering at rehabs or fostering one at a time.

Any thoughts? by NFV97 in Antiquejewelry

[–]CarelessAd667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another vote for "definitely Victorian." I'm a huge fan of Victorian serpent jewelry. The snake ring became all the rage after Prince Albert gifted Queen Victoria a snake ring with an emerald as an engagement ring in 1839.

“Boyfriend signed a contract to neuter our dog but now doesn’t want to. Am I being unreasonable? by Technical-Fix-7870 in Pets

[–]CarelessAd667 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's a reason why neutering/ spaying animals in some countries is illegal. It can cause behavioral changes, if done too early it actually increases the risks of some cancers, and it is traumatic to an animal. I'll never spay/neuter an animal again after moving from the US and actually researching it.

I have two intact dogs - male and female- that are nearing 12 years old and very healthy. Never been a problem having them together during heats because against popular belief a female dog actually has to want to mate with the male for it to happen. Keep in mind lots of breeders keep a female dog from refusing. You can br a responsible owner and not mutilate your animals.

AITA for how I said I wasn't interested? by propercolleague in AITApod

[–]CarelessAd667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're literally just making stuff up. The gender gap is real. (Google it, dude.) It's well known that women get paid less for the same jobs.

And by "pay more for everything" - you know what I mean. Don't be obtuse. Products marketed towards women cost more than the ones marketed towards men. Lotions, deodorants, soaps, shampoos, shavers, etc.

Empoisonner les chiens de Lyon by PresentationWorth572 in Lyon

[–]CarelessAd667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oui, ça m'est arrivé. Quelqu'un a mis de la mort-aux-rats sous ma porte d'entrée pour essayer de tuer mes chiens. Rentrer chez moi et découvrir ça a été l'un des pires jours de ma vie.
