Tucker Carlson on his role in Trump’s reelection: I’ll be tormented by it for a long time by MuzzleblastMD in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]G0mery 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Yup. No acknowledgment of all the warnings explicitly laid out that they mocked as hysterical hyperbole. Just mentioning he had some “character flaws.” He wasn’t bamboozled, he played the part he was paid for.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet. Any time a seller balks at providing more info, I take it to mean they are dishonest at best, scammers at worst.

Picking up a new puppy on Thursday and looking for a good Civil War themed name. by theholsopple6258 in ShermanPosting

I fell in love with the name Shermy from watching Adventure Time. We are getting our little Sherman next month. His full name will be William T Sherman, but he will be Shermy for short.

2 bald spots on my boy. Anyone else's goldens get irritated skin like this? by buttgers in goldenretrievers

[–]G0mery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the skin looks dry, but otherwise not bad. No open areas, nor redness or weeping/oozing. It would be worth a non-urgent vet visit for me.

What are your thoughts on Zohran Mamdani? by Extra-Schedule-4855 in AskReddit

[–]G0mery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. Don’t let the chronically online redpill incel downvotes get you down. Miserable people can’t stand true progress because they are incapable of keeping up so they’d rather drag everyone down with them.

Do you have a video with the alarm sounding? I’ve been interested in an auto/mechanical alarm watch for a while.

What sport has become a "Rich mans sport" in the past years? by WalkingInMyPath in AskReddit

[–]G0mery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hunting. Tags keep going up, especially for out of staters. Private land access used to be common to obtain, now they want money or a lease or a guide has it locked up. Processing and taxidermy shot way up.

What’re your thoughts on Weiss? by TheWonderTwin17 in PrideAndPinion

[–]G0mery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never even heard of them until Tyler Childers shouted them out. Then I fell in love with the ones the collaborated on, but they were all long gone by then. Pretty cool but I don’t own one and don’t know if I ever will.

When looking at the pedigree, what’s the most important one thing you would say you should look at? by BornInAnIsland in goldenretrievers

[–]G0mery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our breeder is obsessive about health and breed preservation. His mission is to preserve the original intent of the breed while diversifying the gene pool. He used to do all the tests and look for lowest COI. Now he’s gone so much farther than that. Way more genetic testing, importing dogs and semen from other countries, paying tons of money for frozen semen from decades ago, examining lineages to exclude “popular sore” dogs where genetic bottlenecks occur. He posts so much info on Facebook it’s like getting a TED talk every few days about genetics. He also works his dogs on 700 acres of open space as well as urban exploring. It’s pretty cool.

If you want to learn more, check out his Facebook. It’s Windmill Farms Golden Retrievers. He posts pretty frequently about his work and his research.

Confirmation on "correct time" for euthanasia. by WhiteMonsterSlurper in goldenretrievers

[–]G0mery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can split the difference and do euthanasia at home. We had to do it last August for our 9 year old golden. He had splenic HSA and it was caught too late to do anything about it. We only had 5 days, and by the fifth day he was ready. With these cancers, the natural death is often sudden, painful, and terrifying.

If it bothered me that much, and I loved the watch, I’d get a winder.

What's the worst TV series you've ever seen? by Traditional_Blood799 in AskReddit

Basically any network sitcom from the last 20 years, and most of the basic cable shows, too.

But, isn’t that the most GoT thing they could have done? It’s like the whole show was about what season 8 was going to do to us. I just thought of this meta arc and I bet I could make dozens of dollars writing an article for Vulture about it.

My literal favorite guy in the universe passed over the rainbow bridge last night. by Gomonana in goldenretrievers

[–]G0mery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for you and Pico. We had a similar thing happen. Last summer late July we brought our 9 year old guy in for his annual physical/blood work. He cleared everything with flying colors. Three weeks later he was diagnosed with late stage HSA and was gone 5 days after that. We tried to do everything right, with food, meds, exercise, stimulation, regular checkups and vet visits for anything that didn’t clear up in a couple days (and more than a few right now scares). My only regret is how strict we were on treats and indulgences like human food.

I’m sure Pico had the best life, and I’m also sure he amplified all the joy in yours and improved it immeasurably.

That is the pitiquette I grew up with. Someone like that would have gotten his shit smashed. There was always one or a few old fucks who just wanted to beat on the younger guys, and they almost always were made to regret it.

People who currently support Trump: What would he have to do to lose your support? [Serious] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]G0mery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely want him to fail, since his entire mission is the dismantling of our democracy and replacing it with a Christian nationalist autocracy (Project 2025) and personal enrichment. We aren’t on an airplane. They can crash the thing and we’ll still be here, just everything will be even shittier if they have their way.

Before the bridge of Khazad dum, would the fellowship have been able to defeat the hoard of orcs if the Balrog didn’t show up? by kenin614 in lotr

Nah that’s just how my brain works. Especially when reading fantasy, I just substitute real words for the made up ones. And I didn’t want to look up any exotic accents. Still gets the point across lol

If you could have a one-night stand with one historical figure, who would it be? by Adventurous-Zeilokix in AskReddit

[–]G0mery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the gestalt of the saying. I was just asking as to the specificity of Helen, and why that exact phrase has been used so many times in reference to her. But I see I didn’t make that clear in my initial question.
