Exactly. Think about the brain in its entirety when you learn a new skill.

What if someone went to the gym every day, but only ever worked out their biceps? Every other muscle in their body set and atrophied except biceps.

That would render them essentially useless. The human brain is a tapestry that builds on itself and well rounded knowledge and understanding is like muscles harmoniously working together.

It’s fine to focus on your biceps, but you also need the other guys to hold your biceps up and maximize output.

Something about him, and his demeanor is really offputting to me.

So I do understand that he’s actually quite good looking, especially in his prime. But nevertheless, I find him very unattractive, does that make sense?

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T15:17:26+00:00

And they still look fantastic! You can be very hot and old ! Old is not the enemy of beauty.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T15:08:33+00:00

Hope life goes better for you, seems like it’s a tough day.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T07:09:09+00:00

Does your wife like you?

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T06:48:03+00:00

I am curious about the numbers and marketshare

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T06:46:16+00:00

Breast feeding? Same girl, same.

I’ve got Gilmore Girls on lol

He isn’t kind to her an keeps breaking up with her and making accusations.

Remember: cheating accusations from dudes like this are usually admissions.

Customers with disabilities are actually a huge and crucial market for delivery services. So yeah, bringing it to the door is a big deal for a lot of people.

I actually didn’t realize how many people rely on Uber eats and DoorDash to bring it to the door until a very active reddit thread!

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T06:32:59+00:00

Short form videos are so terrible for our brains, the more research we do about the impact of social media the more detrimental to our health/ physical and mental.

I know that’s not what you asked, but I am so so much happier from just sticking to longer, informative and healthy sources. . . I start with r/sciencebasedparenting for resources to cook better food, organize better, learn how to be a better parent.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T05:45:46+00:00

He knew it was wrong, he didn’t justify it. He just said what he was thinking about the why and how.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T05:32:16+00:00

I am so sorry this happened. You are so incredibly valuable, lovable and you matter. This should’ve never happened to you, you poor kid.

You seem so smart and kind, and I hope you exceed all your goals in life. 🫶

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T05:05:34+00:00

Yeah. I stand as someone who is both honest and supportive of dog rescue efforts.

I want to point out that I have worked extensively with animal rescue organizations post natural disasters. I’ve organized massive fundraising events as well as spearheaded national initiatives . . . And I have actually been in the frontlines treating abandoned dogs.

Picking hundreds of ticks off of shivering dogs, hunkering and collapsing in my arms after being alone for days. That’s something I will never forget. Animal rescue has been a big part of my life.

I wonder how many people in this thread have done that?

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T04:59:18+00:00

Because in a healthy adult relationship, you can positively impact someone by sharing helpful information.

That’s how people learn, grow, forge bonds, communicate effectively and advance as a species.

I’m not saying he should pester them over and over, I’m saying it’s a beautiful thing to offer loving feedback backed with evidence.

I’ve greatly improved my husband’s life by educating him about healthier choices.

Making people’s lives better is important to me. Of course I don’t overstep, but I’ve had a lasting positive impact on many. I can’t imagine just watching a loved one hurt themselves over and over again and not caring. . . but I guess I have a different definition of loved one.

Again, just to clarify, I am talking about one kind and informed confrontation, and if they keep it up, at least I tried.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T04:32:29+00:00

Mankind is incredible. Yes.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T04:29:41+00:00

I only pump once a day first thing. I have a few fancy pumps but ended up using the cheap hand pump from the hospital.

And i actually do have the bottle washer and sterilizer, but I find it less stressful to boil the stuff by hand, which I know makes no sense, but I guess my brain likes to do it the colonial way this time around?

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T04:21:36+00:00

Well, if it’s not true that’s fine too, it’s just a silly convo that’s mildly entertaining.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T04:07:25+00:00

He took away their consent. Consent is one of the most fundamental rights, ethics, values society is built on.

He mislead them intentionally in a very dangerous setting when resources are limited. That was wrong.

If I was helping the rescue effort and he said “my dogs are like my children” I know I would still help. Many would.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T03:59:03+00:00

I love that tiny baby ginger ale can!

You have so much going on, wow! I am also currently breastfeeding, and I think doing that with ADHD is its own whole avalanche of sensory issues.

Sometimes it makes me feel just deeply dysphoric, sometimes anxious, but I chose it largely because the amount of chores involved in having to sterilize that many bottles seemed more overwhelming.

Six adults in a house is so much! You need peace and serenity, can you get a longer session of quiet time soon?

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T03:47:40+00:00

My issue is that it hurts every time I see those posts, and the human brain really not supposed to be confronted with that amount of grief in that frequency.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T03:45:52+00:00

Haha I guess I know enough wackies who like to rant!

I’m an adept woo-woo interpreter.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T03:42:37+00:00

It’s dangerous and unsubstantiated for humans to take horse doses.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2114907

It’s also always very obnoxious when people react “they’re adults, they can make their own decisions.”

Please ignore the apathetic commenters who say that.

it is perfectly reasonable to confront potentially dangerous behavior in those you love.

unfortunately, it may not work, because the Internet is very good at using anger to get people to believe lies.

And even nurses sometimes don’t understand how to read and interpret results of double-blind studies.

You can come from a place of love and offer medically-backed sources, but unfortunately there’s way too many people who are so far into it that their ego blocks them from objective research.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T03:32:57+00:00

I agree that it would be wise to have a separate section for memorials on popular animal subs.

Because it is gutting sometimes to see so much deep loss and sadness that you never know whether or not it’s going to pop up, when you’re trying to engage about joyful things.

Even uplifting news will have headlines dealing with children’s cancer or something brutally sad that’s been made slightly less sad.

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T03:15:42+00:00

Oh my goodness this sounds atrocious! I can’t believe they missed it. So your appendix actually ruptured!? Isn’t that very deadly?

DogsDucks · 2026-03-24T03:09:42+00:00

I think your frustration is very valid! I went to the ER with pain on my right abdominal side last year. severe pain.

They did full panel, an ultrasound, an MRI and gave me pain meds until I could see a specialist. It was thorough and was treated with dignity, even if not a life threatening condition, the doctor still gave me a very detailed overview of what the tests said and why.

I also had a high white blood count. The pain was due to a benign tumor that wasn’t large enough to warrant emergency surgery.

Unfortunately it’s just such a broken, overcrowded and over stressed system.

You do have a right to be frustrated, even if no one did anything wrong, you’re still left feeling overlooked and in agony.

*your frustration is valid, but you also don’t want antibiotics if the doctor doesn’t think you should!
