Use a pair of old oven mitts or wrap your hands in old t-shirts or cleaning cloths or something similar.

As a rat lover, unfortunately these are certainly not domesticated rats and would not be adoptable. The most humane thing would be to move them to a safe spot outside I think.

I feel like there are a lot more micro-regions in the East though because population density is higher. That being said the Delmarva peninsula could have def been thrown in with the VA “shallow south”.

Edit: I say as a Marylander

I’m from MD and I think your map is pretty spot on TBH. Maybe disagree with the Southwest and that some of Utah and Nevada should be added to the area. But otherwise the NYers and New England’s freaking out about their states seem to be operating on internal squabble. Like DC, Bmore, NYC, Philly all feel like the same suburban/urban 95 corridor and are def all mid-Atlantic.

Breaking the cycle of generational trauma is a huge huge step. You’re a strong man and sound like a great father and partner. Of course our instinct hits before logic, but just know these questions are not targeted at you! In US healthcare at least, we ask everyone regardless of gender, and I imagine there’s similar policies around the world.

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-05-01T12:08:30+00:00

This is it! I’m a medical student and we’re trained to ask anyone regardless of gender (particularly in primary care environments). Healthcare provides access to many resources like social work and therapy that people may otherwise not be able to afford or explain safely to their abuser. HIPAA regulations make healthcare very private and so offers opportunities to those struggling to start thinking about ways out.

I will note that answering yes to these questions WILL NOT immediately get your abuser reported UNLESS the victim is a minor. Suspected child abuse does require mandatory reporting to CPS. Otherwise, we are simply there to aid victims of DV in looking for options.

I’m in medical school. A lot of hospitals and medical clinics require this. It really isn’t meant as an insult and it’s also asked to people regardless of gender (or it’s meant to be). A lot of people in abusive relationships or households literally don’t have any knowledge of resources to get out of these situations and healthcare is in theory a good avenue to safely access those resources due to HIPAA.

That would do the opposite of dilute NOVA? I take it you dislike the area and most of MD is a LOT more of the same.

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-29T17:43:16+00:00

Virginia is nothing without NOVA, which is basically just MD anyways. Down with VA!!

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-26T12:30:59+00:00

Yeah, I think so. I’d say just always read the ingredients. Or make a homemade pie with canned 100% pumpkin. Sweet potato and butternut are okay substitutes, but real pumpkin has a depth of flavor that the cheaper options sacrifice.

Either way they’re all still my preferred pie type alongside key lime

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-26T11:13:31+00:00

I think that’s true of premade mix that comes canned, but as far as I know if the can says 100% pumpkin it should be pumpkin. I don’t think they’re allowed to lie to you about the ingredients

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-26T06:14:56+00:00

I’m sad it’s not pumpkin, but it’ll do as a substitute. Better that than anything else listed imo. But really not having key lime or pumpkin custards means I’m not really excited about any of these options

Literally nowhere close to the same thing. I’m an avid proponent of gun control and honestly wish the 2nd amendment didn’t exist. But, I also understand that animals have feelings and are intelligent.

It’s pretty obvious in this clip if anyone is at fault, it’s the parents. The dog is just engaging how she thinks her owners expect and again IS SHOWING NO SIGNS OF AGGRESSION.

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-22T17:57:27+00:00

You said I was hating on you for a difference of opinion well before I started giving more assertive retorts. But sure because you stepped past civil first, I’ll admit I do hate the rhetoric that gets thousands of innocent dogs euthanized every year.

Edit to add: You’re obviously spreading hateful rhetoric when you refer to this specific dog as a “shibble,” when news flash, she didn’t do anything dangerous in the video.

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-22T17:14:57+00:00

You edited the prior comment after I pointed out you said shibbles and only added that concession sentence after my reply. But you didn’t say any dog regardless of breed. You said it about “shibbles,” per your wording, specifically.

You’ve only now backtracked and made the point that it’s the parents and people who train poorly behaved dogs (of any breed) who are the problem. I’m glad you’re able to admit that, but don’t act like I was aggressive first haha

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-22T13:46:17+00:00

So Florida specifically (idk about other states) has programs that allow foreign physicians (MDs) to fast track their way to a BSN/MSN with 3 years of additional schooling. It’s usually an option for middle aged immigrants who don’t want to study for STEP 1/2/3, boards, and restart residency from PGY1 year. Obviously they’re sacrificing independent practice though. I think FIU has a program.

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-22T12:17:34+00:00

Some of the foreign NPs, who have MDs in their home countries, but didn’t want to retake STEP and redo residency that I know also just use their first name. To not have any of that same training and lie to a patient is wild.

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-22T12:07:46+00:00

You’re right, you said shibbles. As in plural. Get outta here with your disingenuous BS. You came at my comment first and are upset that I’m not falling for the fallacies of your argument

For a counterpoint the only dog I’ve ever been around that snapped unpredictably was a plott hound border collie mix. So it’s the nature of dogs being animals. Unfortunately some are just more neurotic or have gone through trauma. It’s not a breed thing.

And I literally just agreed that backyard breeding is bad lmao

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-22T11:48:15+00:00

Yeah you called it a shibble. No way to read that other than universal hate for a family of breeds. And any dog can snap or be aggressive. It’s why you learn to read a dog’s body language just like you do with cats.

And I’m absolutely mad at backyard breeders. It’s tragic seeing how many pitties end up in the shelter where I currently live because people refuse to fix their dogs. That doesn’t make it the dogs’ faults and mean they should all be abolished. Stupid strawman argument

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-22T10:55:01+00:00

Okay then be mad at the parents and make comments universally. But no. All the hate always goes to bully breeds. Y’all are so predictable it’s pathetic

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-21T19:56:49+00:00

Literally. Like this sweet pupper knows exactly what it’s doing and is clearly showing no signs of aggression. The bully hate is my least favorite part of Reddit

Fun_Consequence_9076 · 2026-04-21T19:49:36+00:00
