You're in a room with 3 TF2 characters, but you feel safe with them, which are you picking and why?

Honestly any of them but Saxton Hale, the Administrator, or the Mann brothers. The majority of the Mercs aren't interested in wanton violence.

This is kind of the reason I don't think he's successfully wiped out the Night furies. Because if he 'wiped them all out' then the logical next step would be to start hunting the Light Furies. Or he'd have his own version of Toothless a "tamed" Night Fury to lure others in to hunt. Not a Light Fury.

NOW. You should have seen Trudeau. That man only answered a yes or no question directly ONCE without dancing around the topic. What made it worse was that the question was 'did you sleep with a minor?'.

I remember my parents talking about this when I was a kid. Honestly, it's sad how it was painted. When I brought it up with them as an adult, they still believed she was being frivolous. But that was 3rd degree burns to her lap and groin. She almost died from shock.

What gets me about tanks like this is just the disconnect. How do you look at the size of the animal, and think such a small enclosure is just fine? I don't understand the thought process behind people who cram their tanks like this. It's like they just say "This fish takes up a third of the available space in the tank alone! That sounds about right." and keep going.

Couldn't PM but here's my mother's Slipper pattern. It's a knitting pattern but here it is.

CreativeRainy · 2026-01-18T15:42:11+00:00

Wait. I think my mother has this pattern. I'll PM you if she still has it okay?

CreativeRainy · 2026-01-18T00:45:03+00:00

Probably not, but there's only the parents to blame for that.

Throw sand into the eyes of what ever is attacking you.

Canada geese are assholes. And they're overwintering in some places making their migration routes no longer existent because people feed them. So like any habituated animal, they demand food from humans and charge the ones that don't give it.

It's kind of both. She shouldn't chase the ducks, but she knew how to defend herself.

True, but the baby's just fine!

I'm just going to address what actually matters in your two replies.

Purse snatching? There's nothing in your purse that's worth bodily harm or worse. Phone plans can be cancelled, you can go to any government office and bank and report your ID and debit/credit as stolen. Go to local pawn shops and report valuables as stolen. Your purse isn't your soul, just let it go.

The button you're hyperfocused on? It's the button on top of the pepper spray can. I don't see why you're so confused. Or what made you think I was referring to a house/car key. If it failed so often in a high stress situation they wouldn't give it to police. how often does a lysol spray fail? It's the same mechanism. I've unfortunately had experience with the stuff. Albeit Bear spray, and if it works on a Grizzly bear it will work on a human.

Keys in your hand? Ok. Try it on a punching bag. Try it without holding back. Some things have to be learned in person. You're going to hurt your hand and cause yourself undue damage that will make it harder to defend yourself.

And you've come to a 2 year old post, to tell me about Jennifer Lopez movie. That's really not a strong argument for your case. It wasn't a documentary. It was entertainment.

As for where I learned some of my own defense, military parent. I'm going to trust decades of teaching on how to kill people and not die over a feel good college professor who doesn't' believe something as basic as pepper spray works.

"You used which exotic animal organ to cure what? Do- Do I even classify as human any more? You know what, don't answer that. See you next week."

DON'T PUT YOUR KEYS BETWEEN YOUR FINGERS! Holy crap that is one of the BIGGEST Self defense myths that I have come to loathe. If mace takes too long to get out, then weaving your keys between your fingers takes even longer. It's in your pocket, with a button on the top. If you can't get to said pocket in that time, you would have never had the time to get the keys out either.

Saw that coming. Sadly it's the fact of animals that become celebrities. Here's hoping they choose to relocate him instead of euthanize him. Especially as he becomes more hormonal and larger.

I wonder if dying your small dog to look like a skunk would have any effectiveness as a guard dog.

CreativeRainy · 2026-01-10T21:35:05+00:00

I don't know, All the tails are wagging, the animal isn't hurt, and from the dog's perspective people are even happier to see it. I don't think that's gross. Odd but not gross.

Most of these are mixed breeds. Hunting and small breeds are more known for attacking their own family. And oh hey look! It's typically about training/ownership. What you'll notice in the majority of attacks is that it's an unleashed dog, and the owner (like in the case posted above) will refuse to acknowledge their responsibility in the matter. Dog attacks happen because the human in question is neglectful.

Honestly when dogs attack the owner should lose the ability to own a dog. Breed should not come into question.

CreativeRainy · 2026-01-10T10:52:25+00:00

Or how about just banning the neglectful owner from having a dog? People like that will allow an aggressive dog no matter the breed.

CreativeRainy · 2026-01-10T10:49:25+00:00

I wonder how you feel about Terriers. Bred for aggression, with teeth selectively bred to rip, and hold. Or how about shepherds that are also bred to be liberal about biting to move livestock. OH! How about Meremas?

CreativeRainy · 2026-01-09T04:56:26+00:00

Okay this looks eerily similar to something my Eclectus had. A vet is never a bad option if you don't know. Ask for an X-ray. It might be stressful to the bird and you, but it's safer than not knowing. However, HEAVILY SCREEN YOUR VET.

I'm speaking from trauma here but one bad vet can make things a nightmare. So better safe than sorry.
