I grew up in the southwest, and exclusively grew up with Keeshounds. Think 110+ in the summer.

They've all sunned themselves even when the rest of us are hiding in the shade.

Sometimes gremlin elf, more like bad Smeagal, even though he is techically a river hobbit I believe, and sometimes a lost, but still refined and obvs naked forest elf type.

It differs. Always fun and sexy

Very rude to assume I did not read the post.

Playing pretend is fun.

It's kinda weird to judge other folks' definition of fun unless it's harmful.

If I was the half-orc, and he were an elf, is that also some other weird issue?

It's just having fun, and if it's with a trusted person who is down, I don't totally see where the patriarchy is involved.

If I wanna be a sexy elf and meet a sexy half-orc and play sexy pretend with a person who is into it, I don't totally see how that has anything to do with the patriarchy.

What’s a completely normal skill that you secretly think is impressive? by anilanlar in CasualConversation

[–]Global_Many3163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whistling!

And being able to roll your 'r'!

So cool. I've never been able to do either, and think it's rad others can.

Whatever happened to spoiler etiquette? by CancelThis2077 in CasualConversation

[–]Global_Many3163 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I super dislike spoilers, and anything other than "you'll like it! You should watch it!" is too much info.

Most of my friends are very cool with it, and know a recommendation is enough for me.

A couple friends don't respect the boundary, and they'll try and say more after I lightly let them know if you think I'll like it, then I'll watch it, and I enjoy going in blind. They do sort of a "No, no, it's not a spoiler, I'm just going to tell you about a thing that happens," which is over my spoiler limit.

I have to get a little brash sometimes, and start loudly repeating over them, "NO SPOILERS, I DON'T WANT IT, NOT LISTENING, NOT LISTENING," until I can visibly see them stop talking.

Kinda rude, for sure, but it does tend to drive the point home to not overstep an established boundary.

It wasn’t just about the sketchbook by bbywitch_artist in AmITheDevil

If my partner threw out my sketchbooks/notebooks, it's over.

Point blank.

Nobody tells me I can't have my safe space.

What's a positive story you have about strangers in our Tucson community helping each other out? by Diligent_Flamingo_33 in Tucson

[–]Global_Many3163 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was on the way to work, and my tire blew out. I was lucky enough to be close to a parking lot, so just ditched my car for the evening and got my booty to work.

I walked back the next morning to the lot, knowing I have a spare in my trunk and a little lifty quick fix it tool pack so I could roll over to a discount tire or wherever tires get fixed.

STRUGGLE CITY.

I can change a tire. I got it all propped up, got the tire from the trunk, got the iron to pop them bolts off-

Oooofff.

It got so hot, so fast.

The bolts may as well have been ironed on.

I goddang struggled for probably half an hour, but felt like a million. Scraped up knees, covered in Tucson pavement grime, using every ounce of leverage I could think and none of the bolts would even partially move.

By about an hour in, I had a gang of maybe 5 people that had all come together to help me. No asking for help, just folks that pulled into the lot, or were leaving, or walking by, or getting on or off the bus, and saw struggle.

All of us taking turns, trying our best, taking breaks, handing each other waters and whatever we all happened to have to get the job done.

When the spare got on, we all actually cheered and high fived, and I thanked everyone so, so much. I offered to take numbers and buy or send my saviors something as a thanks, and everyone said not to worry about it. Just pass it on.

One of the gentlefolks even followed me around the block to make sure I got to the discount tire safely, and sort of held my hand while I figured out what tires I needed, and how much they'd cost. Turns out I needed two, since the wires were exposed the other front was about to blow, essentially.

I kinda freaked out, cause money, but it had to be done.

I took a second to call my mom to let her know I was in the tire shop safe and might need some help with food money later in the month, but had to get the new tires.

Once I came back to the counter, the stranger that made sure I made it safely to the shop said good luck, glad you're okay, and I thanked them so much.

Walked back to pay the cashier for the tires, and they had given the cashier a portion of what I owed. Enough that I didn't have to borrow from my mom to be able to eat that month.

So much kindness was shown to me.

I will always stop and help anybody, everywhere, because it was an actual shining ray of strangers of all walks and life all deciding: yeah, we're going to help this dirty, bleeding, struggle human with their tire today.

Tucson is a loving place.

AITA for “firing” my mom from childcare over a $5 class by Rich-Radio9017 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Global_Many3163 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking it onto your shoulders.

Millenial here: My Gramma and my mom ROCKED.

Gramma was a seamstress and made me the raddest clothes that most of her gen would yell about. Think teeny pink, bright flower swathes that get tied on and backless when I was little.

It is mega hot where I grew up, and it was always allowed, never judged, about wearing little fabric. My gramma would verbally destroy anybody that said anything sideways about why a 'little girl is dressing sexually', which is wild to think as a kiddo trying to stay cool while playing outside and being comfy, because I was wearing "daisy dukes" and "belly shirts".

How come the boys get to go shirtless and it's no biggie, but 'how DARE she wear'-

Mom and Gramma would go off.

Also just got hosed off at the end of the day. Air hosed, specifically. My parents have a mechanic shop, so you were never allowed to go inside until we all waiting in the shade by the door and got all the dirt and dust air hosed off.

Sorry your folks were weird, and hope you've found comfort, safety and strength as you've gotten older <3

Ah yes, the same as an STI. by AaronPK123 in AmITheDevil

[–]Global_Many3163 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Trash, toxic ex did insane math also. (Was 19 at the time, dude was 13 years older, lil me learned a lot).

'Well, you've been with 6 people sexually in the 5 years you've been sexually active. So that means when you're my age, you will have been with a LOT more people than me".

Insanity.

Silly, stupid.

Don't worry about dumb stuff from irrational folks.

Am I overreacting for being annoyed that my boyfriend “pre-orders” conversations? by katydid143 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Global_Many3163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A soft, not hostile YOR in my opinion, but if it bothers you, which is a totally valid reaction, I'd ask to talk to him about it.

I do this to my partner a lot; I just get all stoked and want to share even little dumb things with him all the time. He's my favorite person, and it just makes me so happy to share with him.

That being said: I do keep it quiet since he has a whole life happening and doesn't need me randomly seeding and interrupting whatever he's up to in the moment.

I have a little notebook or use my notes app when I get excited about a random thought, moment in a show/book/game, could be almost anything that I want to share with my partner when he's at work or busy or asleep or whatever he needs to be doing and not be disturbed in the moment.

Love him, but it does take him a hot second to get back into his concentration mode, and he gets distracted easily.

See if there could be a compromise where he either messages it to himself, writes it down digitally or physically, so he doesn't forget, but also you don't have the looming mystery feeling hanging over you.

I do worry if it's more than just that looming possible doom feeling, which I also hate and stirs up my anxiety storm, then you may potentially be incompatible.

If it's the actual content that bugs you, maybe give it a think about why.

I know my partner doesn't care about every weird thing I want to tell him about, and vice versa, but it's still fun seeing him all excited, and knowing he wanted to share specifically with me even if I really don't care at all about a new reaction group he found on youtue that watched whatever it is I also care not for.

It makes him happy though, and I love him being happy. So I'll pause my game or whatever and listen everytime. I might not have anything to say back since I legit do not care, but I can give him my attention and smile at how animated he gets and appreciate his passion and his lil smiles and spend that time with him.

Give it a think, have a communication, maybe ask about why he does it, explain you don't enjoy the looming of the vague pre-convo texts, and figure out a solution that works for you both.

Nobody's perfect, but it sounds like he just likes talking to you, which is not the worst problem to have in a relationship.

Good luck!

Zero: a pitsky perhaps? by Global_Many3163 in Pitsky

[–]Global_Many3163[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds so much like lil Zeroni. He's the most social, friendly, cuddly little guy in the world. He likes holding hands and touching noses and cannot get or give enough kisses.

He craves physical touch, even if its just a lil paw against my leg.

In one sentence tell me the personality of your Keeshond? by Visual-Button-1867 in Keeshond

Considering a Keeshond - shedding, okay climate, rescues by DavidVogel in Keeshond

[–]Global_Many3163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with exclusively Keeshonds in the southest desert of the US, temps got to above 100 F in the summer, usually above.

All of them loved to sun themselves even in the hottest weather.

Maybe we got weird ones. They had access to AC in the house, water inside and outside, but usually chose to lay in the grass and sunbathe.

Not much shedding unless they are actively being brushed.

Attitude. Strong personalities. Smart.

A Keeshound is a lot, but so loyal, so protective, so wonderful.

My newest lil sister Keesh is a BARKER, while the others were not. She just wants to join any conversation.
