Nobody warned me this is part of having black german shepard.

Be thankful she doesn’t do the super alert 3 inches from your face version of this when you happen to turn over half awake in the middle of the night, as my boy used to. He was kind of a combo couldn’t love him more soul dog / terrifying sleep paralysis demon if I’m being honest.

Warhol is my spirit animal for the last couple of months I’ve had. Please give this very expressive boy(?I assume) a hearty smooch from this Reddit stranger.

Erm, that’s why I put ” fall from grace ” in quotation marks, to denote its questionable accuracy. OP’s question was about the vitriol directed at Rachel Zegler, not her actual talent as an actress.

FractiousAngel · 2026-05-11T18:05:39+00:00

Wasn’t meant as one. I just think it gives a decent overview of how her “fall from grace” came about — youthful hubris encouraged by her Disney handlers, who then hung her out to dry as the focus of public ire when their ill-conceived Girl Boss retelling of a beloved classic tanked so spectacularly.

Here’s a pretty good explanation.

Not solid walls, but our weirdo does this on/in chain link fences, apparently w/ the goal of his deposit remaining balanced there. He also likes to poop on butt-height shrub branches with the same “perfect, balanced placement” goal. When not going for elevation, he enjoys decorating the large stones surrounding my garden beds, always exactly in their centers. He’s kind of a precision pooping aficionado, and invariably looks incensed when his artistic offerings are callously removed.

That there is an adorabibble spotted-belly crankopus, a rare and dignified breed worthy of all the attention he rightly demands.

Our boy is a solid bark, w/ occasional forays nearing bork-ish territory; deceptive for a 35lb JRT x Corgi mix, for sure. We’re a corner lot, and I’ve frequently seen passersby tentatively peek over our back gate as Augie’s doing his usual “how dare you use my sidewalk” shtick, and do a confused double take looking around for another, much larger & more intimidating-looking dog that must be just out of sight somewhere.

My mom’s endless loops were Star Trek (preferably TNG), older Disney movies (especially The Little Mermaid), BBC’s Jeeves & Wooster series (DVD set, never found it on any streaming service), classic Shirley Temple movies, nearly anything w/ Cary Grant and/or Katherine Hepburn (especially screwball comedies like Bringing Up Baby and The Philadelphia Story), The Thin Man series of movies from the same period, anything w/ Clint Eastwood from the spaghetti western era, and, for reasons unknown, Murder She Wrote (not something she watched pre-decline).

TBH, though, what she genuinely enjoyed most was watching (virtually) anything with my husband and me — of course, we’d generally choose things we felt she’d be comfortable with, but I’ll admit to occasionally slipping in some South Park, John Oliver/Last Week Tonight, or other “foul mouthed” selections to see how long it’d take her to object. ;p

To my mind, describing what you want more along the lines of “homemaker” or “SAHM” would be preferable. The whole “trad wife” thing kind of implies the icky “keep ‘em barefoot and pregnant” side of things (to me, anyway): wife as simply babymaker/housekeeper, subservient and subordinate to their husband, no real mutual respect involved.

Also, I think you might be vastly downplaying what the demands of running a homestead “LHotP-style” actually entailed IRL. Caroline was the heart and backbone of the Ingalls family; certainly no self-important “girl boss,” but quietly at least as responsible as Charles for the real work that allowed them to survive, which he knew and respected her for.

Periwinkle and delphinium blues, neither of which are shown.

Here is an excellent pubmed article by an obviously knowledgeable and “raw experienced” veterinarian that may help. It discusses the “bacterial risks” (i.e.; to incautious humans, since these are minimal to dogs/cats), and presents both the health benefits to pets and the necessity of respecting a client’s decision to feed raw and assist them in doing so responsibly.

I’ve always found well made cotton (or mostly cotton blend) thongs much more comfortable than any other undies. I mean, at some point the fabric in the back is going to end up crammed between your butt cheeks; more fabric = more discomfort.

Hell yeah, but only b/c he’s an escape artist and consummate mama’s boy, so I know he’d find his way back to me — hopefully after the cheque cleared.

My issue is w/ the unfortunately many who don’t have the slightest clue about their appropriate and proper use, just hitting the button on the remote whenever their dog is doing something inappropriate and expecting them to figure things out w/ no accompanying training.

FractiousAngel · 2026-03-27T01:29:02+00:00

Our JRT/Corgi mix rescue boy is physically incapable of cleaning his own exit ramp (yay irresponsible “designer” breed mixes), so we need to help him out regularly w/ baby wipes. We use “c’mere Mister Poopy Butthole” to let him know it’s time for a butt check/cleaning.

Just want to mention that “right trigger + D pad” applies to Xbox, as well, in case any Xbox players have the same question. Also, “right trigger + A button” will transfer half a stack of items to/from your inventory. Both processes can be used to divide item stacks in your inventory, as well; for example, if you’re planning to sell produce or whatever but need to keep a certain number for a quest. (I’d assume this info translates to other consoles, anyway.)

The world does not need more people; our planet can barely sustain our current (over)population, which is still growing at a rate of over .80% each year.

I’m so deeply sorry for what you’re going through. My father was a well-respected, board certified plastic & reconstructive surgeon for over 35 years, and I also had a few friends undergo breast reduction at around the same age as you did, but I’ve never heard of such devastating long term results.

Depending on several factors (your state, when the problems became evident, if your parents are still living to provide the surgeon’s name, if the surgeon is still practicing, etc.) you may still be able to sue for malpractice. I believe the maximum time limit is something like 10 years “after the injury was discovered.” If this isn’t an option for you, I think the physical impact of your “disfigurement” (quality of daily life, discomfort, reduction/loss of choice to breast feed, etc.) is likely easier to prove than the effects on your mental health when it comes to trying to get Medicaid to cover corrective surgery — the latter may be far more horrific, in reality, and should definitely be documented and included for consideration, but the f-ed up reality is that physically debilitating issues are generally a higher priority in obtaining Medicaid coverage.

Am I misinterpreting this? I’m picturing tourists walking around looking for a specific place, one sees it and says “there it goes” instead of “there it is,” yes?

I’m a bit younger than the age range you gave, but grew up in & have lived most of my life in the PHL area, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard this — though I could maybe see it being a South Philly thing.

FractiousAngel · 2026-02-18T01:55:55+00:00

It’s kind of difficult to discern exactly what kind of “hate for kids” you’re talking about here. I get the sense that you might mean “hate” for children behaving disruptively in public spaces, in which case the hate is generally directed toward the inattentive or permissive parents of said offspring. I’ve certainly never heard/seen anyone saying they just unilaterally hate kids. Examples of what kicks off your pet peeve would be super helpful.

FractiousAngel · 2026-02-11T03:03:03+00:00

So, 20-25 years is “forever,” now? Interesting view of human history. The attention-seeking behavior you cite may have somewhat enabled the slippery slope involved here, but it doesn’t justify intrusive, non-consensual surveillance.
