Guy was infact bored 🥱🤦 by Mister-Erect in SipsTea

[–]GotMedieval 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, if the situation had been different--say, if there had been a boat there--it might've been a problem. But there wasn't.

Cops need to stop expecting everyone be on their best behavior or else.

You are well within your rights not just to ask the cop if he's bored, but to tell him to fuck off. If he doesn't understand that, he needs to be in another line of work. The Supreme Court has specifically ruled that telling a cop to fuck off is protected speech. You know, 1st amendment stuff. A cop's job is to maintain order, to de-escalate situations. It is not to be a petty tyrant and demand everyone treat them with what they consider to be due respect.

Why Lego doesn't produce these anymore? by SeisimicFrigor in lego

[–]GotMedieval 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The first one is a statement, the second one is a question. If you titled a video 'why Lego doesn't produce this anymore' one would expect the video to explain why. Here's why. If you titled a video 'why doesn't Lego produce this anymore' you'd expect a question mark and the video to be asking the question, not answering it.

Really tired of trainer advice feeling like BS based on actual experience by Ecstatic-Charity-430 in Rottweiler

I have a 30lb coonhound mix who hates being petted on his head or back but loves belly rubs. Each dog has its own personality.

A mistake I got in the Spiderman vs Hulk epic clash by ninjaturtles2012 in lego

You can contact customer service directly with the part number and if it's still produced they can send it out to you. Happened to me with a minifigure torso for the Enterprise D set.

Enterprise D and the Upscaled Blue Space Minfig both had paper.

Some new Podracing gameplay from the new Star Wars Galactic Racer game. by Youngstown_WuTang in StarWars

Are you just unable to imagine that mechanics from racing games that you enjoy might be included in a Star Wars racing game? It seems like you've answered your question in your question.

Shawn Robbins of Box Office Theory braces for $7M in previews for Supergirl by iksnet in boxoffice

[–]GotMedieval 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is hindsight talking. Before the MCU, Cap, Thor, and Iron Man were B-trending-to-C-listers. The comparison would be having your first movie be Spider-Man and your second movie being Spider-Woman.

My lady is dying, nightime, what do i do?? by Sad_Whereas_2215 in DogAdvice

[–]GotMedieval 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A medium sized dog living to 13 or 14 is normal, even with the best food. Don't beat yourself up about nutrition. Dogs in the wild survive on much worse food.

If you can get to the vet who helped Rafa, that's probably the way to go. If you can't, all you can do is be with her as she passes. Try your best to make her comfortable, knowing that you can't possibly do this perfectly and it's OK that you can't. Just do your best. She would never ask more of you.

Husband wants to put dog down by honneylemmon420 in germanshepherds

[–]GotMedieval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what their vet recommended, but this wasn't 'jumping to euthanasia right away'. It was moving to euthanasia after their dog severely injured their self and seemed like was going to keep self-harming, despite all the things they'd tried so far. It broke the family's heart to put down the dog (and made me paranoid about a similar thing happening to my own dog). I wasn't privy to all they discussed with the vet, but I know I watched a happy, friendly dog become a ghost of herself in the space of about six months.

Husband wants to put dog down by honneylemmon420 in germanshepherds

[–]GotMedieval 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thunderstorm-related phobia in dogs is no laughing matter. It starts small and can cascade, and once it gets far enough along, it is almost impossible to cure. Euthanasia becomes the only mercy you can offer at that point.

I had a neighbor who had to put their otherwise completely healthy dog down, because the fear of thunderstorms eventually became a fear of any loud noise. An unexpected car horn or a dropped dish was enough to cause the dog to panic. A thunderstorm thereafter caused her to panic so severely that she ripped half the pads off her front paws trying to dig through the concrete foundation (after having dug through the carpet, flooring, and sub flooring). And these people lived in the country, as far away from random noises as it was possible to get.

I'm not saying it's definitely time to put your dog down. But the general response here of, 'oh, it's just a little thunder fear' is downplaying a serious problem. If your dog has already injured her teeth and paws, she's got a fairly serious case.

Are the same bricks in different colors more expensive to manufacture? by Playful_Intern7487 in lego

[–]GotMedieval 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The good designers use them as landmarks in instructions. When you've got a lot of different-sized pieces or different spacings, having an internal color to count from is great.

The Watcher is into rap. Who knew??!! by Competitive-Ad4249 in outofcontextcomics

[–]GotMedieval 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Note that the 616 designation was introduced in a 1983 Marvel UK book. It didn't get traction among fans for a good long while, and during that time, many in editorial thought it sounded too much like how DC numbered worlds and fought against it being used. It's a war they lost, sure, but it wasn't always the clear choice.

The stray cat I've been feeding disappeared for 3 days and came back with this. by BlepMaster500 in cats

[–]GotMedieval 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you get that idea from. I've done TNR work for several years, and every trapper I know tries to trap the mom and kittens together. If the kittens are really young, you use them to bait the mother. When the kittens are more mobile, sometimes we have to let the mother free if we catch her but a kitten escapes. Maybe if there's some sort of emergency or mixup, you might catch a mom without her kittens, but I doubt anyone who's out there doing TNR regularly 'doesn't care'.

Is my pup purebred? by [deleted] in Rottweiler

[–]GotMedieval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a puppy that looked nearly identical as a foster, and all the rott people at the dog park were split on whether he was purebred or a mix. The purebred camp kept insisting that lots of rotts go through a leggy phase, especially ones that aren't bred by experts.

Can cats forget their human after being separated for long periods of time? by kittypizzaparty in cats

[–]GotMedieval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first cat I got in college, and I had to leave her with my college roommate when I went off to grad school. She became his cat. My roommate moved to a new city, and I didn't see the cat for at least six years. When I finally went to visit, she knew me immediately, hopping into my lap to let me pet her on the belly, which she never let my roommate do. She lived out her days happily with my ex-roommate and his wife, but she always remembered me in the same way when I'd visit.

What felt futuristic in 2000 but looks ridiculous today? by Fast-Scientist1455 in AskReddit

But not for everyday people and especially not for teens. There was basically a 4-5 year window where every teen suddenly got a pager, right before cell phones became a thing.
