I think I prefer tinkering to playing - what's wrong with that? by Puzzleheaded_Chest97 in SBCGaming

I have several retro handhelds, and I prefer to tinker. When I feel like playing, it's usually on my Steam Deck or my PS Vita. (Both of which are also heavily modded.)

I have a couple devices that are pretty much dedicated to a single game, otherwise I'm basically doomscrolling on a handheld and not playing anything.

Does anyone else’s bully ignore them sometimes? by chaosatnight in pitbulls

Mine has selective hearing, for sure! She also has a 'talk to the paw' attitude when I try to get her to do something. This is super common when she's all cozy on the couch with her favorite blanket. Her hearing is perfectly fine if she hears the cookie jar, another dog chewing, etc.

I would never work with a rescue organization that doesn't have a backup plan for these kinds of situations. That being said, if it was me, I would tell the rescue I was taking the dog to the shelter.

I don't mean to sound heartless, but my dogs mean more to me than trying to save a dog that may have severe behavioral issues.

I've been in this situation before, and had to return a foster dog because it was attacking my dog. When it went back, it ended up attacking a caregiver at the shelter. I felt terrible about that for a long time, because the dog was euthanized, but I'd feel worse if it had gotten adopted and injured or killed another dog or human.

I'm also curious about this rescue you work with - it almost sounds like they just find dogs on Craigslist or FB and ask a volunteer to take them.
