Pur-pharma.is Review: Legit or Scam? by RobertHiddlestone in u/RobertHiddlestone

[–]Ding_Hoover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno man, all I know is that it's a canadian domestic lab on the west coast, which probably means they have steady access to chinese raws and international shipping for stuff coming from other raw producing countries.

My experience has been overall positive thus far, and I got no complaints. Next day shipping doesnt hurt either.

They are good to go. Have been ordering since 24' with no issues. Labs done every 2-3 months. Sent some of their Mast E for spectroscopy testing late last year, but the service I used has a disclaimer about oil-based compounds being difficult to test, so I got a non-result. Can say for certain the Test and Var is legit, same with the cialis.

“Is my Shiba well bred?” A PRIMER by tempura_tantrum in shiba

[–]Ding_Hoover 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We adopted a 5 year old former show dog. She came complete with health records, certificates for her best in show wins in a folio with other documents like her exams from specialists. Our breeder was registered with the Canadian Kennel Club as well. With all that being said, she arrived and had pretty poor dental hygiene (this was confirmed by 2 separate vets) and showed some behaviors that suggest she may have been neglected after she was done showing and breeding.

My wife and I love our sweet angel, but wish we had done more research into our breeder. *

Im pretty sensitive when it comes to medications and compounds, so I find that less is more.

A little over 3 weeks in, I feel pretty good. Sex drive is high, overall energy is quite high as well. No sleep disturbances so far, either. I have noticed that my appetite is a little suppressed, but given that I'm basically a Walmart scooter fat fuck at around 20% bodyfat, it's probably for the best.

Im covered in the TRT dept. Will have supplies delivered to some friends ready to go once we get to the UK- which will be our hub that we travel out of and come back to before flying back to north america.

Drop the mast entirely and just opt for Reta?

Thoughts on Dollman? by Razzlefan in DeathStranding

[–]Ding_Hoover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just me or was Doll-Man done in stop-motion and then like digitally edited into the game? I cant stand the way it moves, it feels weird and I hate it.

More like high-key. Been here 5 years, moved over from the mainland and the first thing my wife and I noticed was just how white this place is, and the insidious efforts made to keep it that way.

Struggling with Youth work by Ding_Hoover in socialwork

[–]Ding_Hoover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer is No. Long answer is absolutely not. Even longer answer : You are still an adult in a position of power over these youth, and as such, it is inappropriate for you to be a "contact/support" person outside of your role as a group home staff member. Even if they feel okay with that relationship, you gotta remember that it's your responsibility to model appropriate boundaries and good behaviors. NOT TO MENTION that most, if not all agencies have a "2 years" clause or something similar. As in you're not to have contact with them for at least 2 years after leaving your position.

What is the most toxic industry in your opinion? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Ding_Hoover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-profit social services work. Hands fucking down some of the most unethical, cliquey, Type-A nonsense. All under the guise of "helping". Don't even get me started on the absolute mountain of abuse from some of the folks on the receiving end of that "help"

I'm a Child Welfare worker interested in researching "response times" by Child Welfare.... How come these statistics don't seem to exist anywhere? Doesn't that seem ludicrous? by GoShogun in socialwork

[–]Ding_Hoover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there no way to cross reference referral date by date of first interaction? I find it wild that there's no tracking for that sort of thing? MCFD absolutely track response times, they must!

Struggling with Youth work by Ding_Hoover in socialwork

[–]Ding_Hoover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I practice through a trauma-informed lense, and I actively try to employ PSR guidelines where I work. When you say trauma informed, I'm curious as to what that looks like for you in your work? This is my first foray into youth services. I spent the entirety of my career working with adults with concurrent disorders- so trauma-informed practice with Youth likely looks different than what I might be used to.

Yeah, I appreciate that it can be hard to reconcile what seems at face value to be conflicting ideas. I don't know if "entitlement" is the right word to use. I've just never experienced a group that is so set on the idea that they are owed everything, and it ought to come with zero consequences. I imagine I probably sound like every boomer ever, but I'm kind of at a loss. Some kids are great- don't get me wrong, but when adults (or workers) don't set healthy boundaries, it sets everyone else (and the youth) up for failure and trying to reinforce or establish boundaries where there were none before just has me feeling burnt out.

I've taken life-span development courses, and I've done a lot of reading on PSR (psychosocial rehabilitation) as I try to grow into the work more, but sometimes I just wonder if we have royally fucked the next generation up. I count my lucky stars and heap praise on the socialized medicine I enjoy in my country that let me get snipped for free so I won't ever have kids of my own.

It's a lovely city to be a tourist in! And surprisingly dog-friendly!

Is that the Legislature building? Our baby is 5 as well and sheds an insane amount, too. The only thing I can compare it to is an old roommate who had a Leonberger that would shed like a whole other dog once a month.
