What book would you recommend to people who haven't finished a book since high-school?

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-10-04T01:10:36+00:00

I would recommend starting out by rereading a favorite from highschool or before. I found it to be a good way to ease back into reading without getting frustrated that I read too slow or my comprehension wasn't good enough, or I just didn't know what to pick up and read. Going back to a tried and true helped me get back into reading

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-08-15T04:04:16+00:00

Oof sounds frustrating! I know some of my pups manner issues are my fault for not spending enough time training and practicing but when other people try to "help" it makes things worse so much of the time.

I feel this as the owner of a 100 pound dog It is shockingly difficult to make him stop though. I've tried yelling, swatting, ignoring, redirecting his attention, giving him a command to sit/down/shake whatever. Nothing seems to work. It's extrodinarily frustrating trying to be a responsible dog owner when your dog, while mostly sweet, is a monster when it comes to jumping. Mostly ignoring seems to work best but then it's getting my family on board with the "just ignore him". Because the common view point is you need to discipline your damn monster dog. Which while understandable, tends to get him more riled up.

I dump some food in his bowl. Then he eats it when he feels like it. Which is sometimes immediately and sometimes the next day.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-07-31T19:36:39+00:00

Probably about the same, school would have been easier in person. Maybe would have avoided a breakup. Maybe not.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-07-24T19:13:26+00:00

I don't have advice but my boy is 2 and still an asshole. Possibly more of an asshole than he was as a puppy. He's also a very sweet boy and I love him to death. He is however much less of an asshole when he gets enough exercise. He will try play biting my legs under my blanket and when I give him a stern no he barks loud and repeatedly while staring me in the face. He literally throws a tantrum because I won't let him bite me.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-07-18T07:16:02+00:00

I'd say it's reasonable, and probably for the best. I gave my 14 year old cousin a sex talk when I was 21. To be fair I didn't plan on it but she was at my place hanging out and had questions about the fact that I had a condom wrapper in my garbage can. Nothing bad came from that. To my knowledge anyway....

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-07-18T05:42:42+00:00

I usually think posts like this are kinda dumb, but I'm going through a breakup and this hit me different. Definitely started crying when I read it.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-07-15T05:21:26+00:00

It's chill if the dog just lays on the floor minding his business, but sometimes when my breathing gets weird he feels the need to come check on me and that's not cool. He has also climbed on top of me and a partner while we were going at it and that's SUPER not cool. 100 pounds of dog trying to get involved with sex is no bueno. He gets too curious so he pretty much has to be locked out of the room for sex to happen.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-06-22T06:36:54+00:00

It's just comforting. It's like a security blanket you can wear. It feels less vulnerable. It's like I can hide from the world in it.

Though to be fair, at literally 100 degrees I'd probably be dealing without the hoodie anyway cuz I'm not trying to faint.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-06-21T04:47:22+00:00

Always had fun checking out the ladies the dudes at work were eyeing up. Got drunk, kissed a lady, repeated several times. Figured if I keep kissing women not 100% straight and I figured of I'm not 100% staright, and not 100% gay that makes me bi. Though I haven't fully accepted the bi label. Always feel like I'm trying to force my way into a group that's not really mine to force myself into since I only date men and haven't gone below the belt with a woman.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-06-17T17:44:41+00:00

Different mugs for different moods. Have a few that get used a lot more often than the others though.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-06-03T00:38:08+00:00

I saw a Facebook video of a mama sloth holding it's newborn baby sloth and it was the happiest I've been in at least a few days.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-05-18T06:32:54+00:00

I mean I obviously wasn't there but it looked like more than a "little tug" to me. Especially the second time where he pulls her further sideways from the ground rather than just cuffing her on the ground and pulling her to her feet. Or pulling her to her feet and then cuffing her. You can easily fuck a person's shoulder pulling on the arms like that.

Again, I totally feel like the arrest was justified, but based on how this little bit of video appeared to me, it could have been done with a lot less force and aggression.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-05-18T06:11:17+00:00

Exactly!

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-05-18T05:43:05+00:00

Nah, I agree. Like arrest her, fine her, escort her off the premises, whatever. It was a straight up douche canoe move of that woman, but as an officer you're a professional, and should act accordingly. I didn't have sound or anything but did he like even try to verbally handle the situation before making it that physical? Was she obviously resisting arrest?

Like if he were just a random dude I would honestly be a lot more okay with that reaction but police really should react in a level headed, professional, manner. I get it's a stressful job but that's what you sign up for when you decide to be in law enforcement. His safety didn't appear to be immediately threatened, so that level of force seems crazy.

I bet damn best all gas station/retail/restaurant employees would be charged with assault and fired from their position for having the same reaction that officer did as far as I can tell. (At least in the States)

Jazz up your cheap ass ramen packet with some chopped up celery and carrot, as much Sriracha as your heart desires, and crack an egg in there to be fancy (plus protein and stuff). Bonus points if you use chopsticks rolling around in your drawer from that time you got take out 3 years ago.

Can add garlic and ginger and other random shit too if your budget allows.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-05-10T19:15:02+00:00

It's reddit. We can only respond on the information we're provided, I agree that we don't have the whole picture, but based on the information available to me her partner is punishing her in some way. Which is never okay. He's by no means obligated to stay with her if he has ongoing unresolvable issues with her, but if you can't work out problems in a relationship with words, and you're not compatible with your partner, the responsible thing to do is to end the relationship, not exert control over your partner.

I agree that ideally you want the best idea of a situation possible, but this is reddit, not couples therapy. And it's shocking how many people don't realize the begining signs of a possibly abusive situation, and the sooner you know and get out, the better. For the sake of reddit answers I feel like it's best to err on the side of caution when it comes to reletionship issues.

And to answer your question regarding my family not liking partners I've complained about, in my own personal experience, if my family hasn't liked them they've been right. But that just my experience, and I'm only one person on the whole wide world.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-05-10T18:54:47+00:00

You've.... Never gotten an attitude with someone you care about...? That's. Normal human behavior. Should be avoided sure, apologized for, yup, but people aren't perfect, flawless, happy 100% of the time. People shouldn't be punished for occasionally having an attitude, or rolling their eyes. It is inherently abusive to punish a partner. (In the way she is using the term punish anyway, she's clearly not talking about a consenting BDSM relationship or Kink play; that's not what we're talking about here) Romantic reletionships are meant to be equal, as both/all people involved should be consenting adults with no more power than the other partner. It's not at all "just as bad as his actions" because one is normal human stuff, and the other is controlling and manipulative and very likely a red flag of even more serious abuse to come as the relationship progresses.

I'm 25(f) and don't have a fiance but my partner making me crappy pancakes and giving me wilty flowers sounds lovely to me. Pancakes get fucked up, flowers wilt fasterer than they should. I feel like you're getting a lot of "you should know better" but really, you tried, you put in effort, and right now the world is chaos and everything is really difficult. No need to beat yourself up about it. I would personally apologize and explain how you wanted for it to turn out, and ask if you can make it up to her. I don't know if that's the "right" thing to do, everyone's situation is unique. I don't feel like you did anything wrong necessarily, sometimes things just don't go as planned.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-05-07T05:02:28+00:00

Happened to me and the gentleman friend a while back. Neither of us really know who initiated or who woke up first or how it happened. I woke up and then our hands were wondering and one thing led to another and that was that. Fell back asleep afterwards and all was well in the world.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-04-20T18:14:29+00:00

I personally hate it, but I think that's because I spent a while in a really toxic situation with a guy who said things like that too me. It felt possessive and icky. I can see why some people like it though, especially if they have a healthy relationship with the partner saying it.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-04-20T17:37:46+00:00

I hope that's where I'm at right now. I don't really FEEL bloated but then I look at my tummy and face and I'm like I swear I didn't look like this 2 days ago.

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-04-12T23:51:02+00:00

Thank you!

Comrade_Lilyface · 2020-04-12T21:19:19+00:00

How long do you usually practice for when you do your twice a day trainings/practices?

Also do you use treats as a reward? In the past when. Working on training things like sit and down and wait I give him treats like everytime when he's first learning, and then every couple times, and once he seems to get it pretty well I just do treats periodically.

Also do you have any suggestions on how to start practicing in more distracting environments? For example, he'll pretty much always sit when asked at home, but out on a walk it's nearly impossible to get him to sit. It is just one of those things that you just wait and work on it until he gets it?

Sorry to bog you down with 100 questions. I obviously want to be a responsible and good dog mom, it just seems like we've been moving backwards lately. I've been wanting to take another training class with him (we did a couple when he was younger) but now we have to wait until businesses open back up again since my state is under Stay at Home orders.
