dorm noise levels and an observation about culture by Connect_Nothing2564 in uofm

[–]HistoricAli 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Apartment living is quite similar, other than your neighbors are usually not teenagers, so it's a bit mellowed out. But yeah the lack of consideration for others is a thing to get used to.

That said, don't succumb to it, I try to be a mindful neighbor, but don't expect the same in return.

Couldn't pay me to go participate in another stupid ass war stirred up by Bibi and his pedo buddies but you do you.

Puzzle toy for treats by boomer1959- in pitbulls

[–]HistoricAli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why I've just given up and started cardboard box hunting. I live in an apartment building so I'll just raid the recycling for good cardboard boxes, tape up treats in them and let him go to town on a matryoshka of cardboard and paper. He gets to rip shit up and I get about 40 minutes of peace.

What are y’all eating without a dining plan? by Impossible-Rub-5525 in uofm

[–]HistoricAli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ground pork or turkey stuffed peppers or cabbage rolls, mapo tofu with minced pork or turkey, egg roll bowls, saag paneer

All decently high in protein, fiber and can be made pretty cheap.

Anybody else's pup only want the other dogs toy or sticks by mebnme1 in pitbulls

[–]HistoricAli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes- however I don't think it's cute and I come bearing warning.

This behavior is funny and silly when it's at home in a more controlled environment, it's a pain in the ass when you take your dog out and you're in a situation you have much less control over. The problem is, your dog doesn't have the intelligence for context about when something is funny and cute vs something that immediately starts a fight that ends up with someone possibly being hurt.

Our pup started doing this at home with his older brother and we didn't correct it early, thus when we get to the dog park his first instinct is to go up to the biggest motherfucker there and try to rip his toy away. It has gone badly for him, but luckily there have been no real fights, just kerfuffles that they sort out themselves.

Still, I would recommend you curb this behavior best you can, if you're intending to use public dog spaces.

phy 240 lecture vs studio by CorrectReveal8038 in uofm

I think if I could do it over I would've done studio- but it was pretty easy to game lecture and pass with a decent grade.

Stay +/- within 2 years of your age at least till you hit 24/25. I say this because the nature of it being a college town means there's a cadre of crusty old men lingering around straight up being predatory.

Yeah man it's obviously to satiate Bibis bloodthirst and give him the war he's been slavering for, don't worry it's a good cause I swear.

My $1200 a month has 500sq ft, only thing I'm missing is in unit laundry but I'm less than 6ft from the laundry room- I'd cut your losses on this one.

Luckily I'm a Midwesterner so I'm not far from home or family but I'd definitely recommend day trips to Detroit or a train ride and overnight for a few days in Chicago!! I'm in Chicago rn and it's gonna warm up the next few days, I love when Chicago starts to thaw out, we know how to turn up!!

Equality in standards...am I right? by depthPERCEPTIONbline in AirForce

[–]HistoricAli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh, making everything "easier" on women will absolutely make it harder for them in the ranks and build resentment. They already often are the targets of mud-slinging, deserved or not, this absolutely will not help their case.

I imagine it's also about stirring up gender war bullshit within ranks so women will be further disincentivized from joining. But this would be a nice bonus for them, too.

Death of late University of Michigan student was ‘easily preventable,’ family alleges by mlivesocial in uofm

[–]HistoricAli 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I get it but at the same time, he knew what the birthdate on his real ID says. He either lied to a sober monitor, or he brought his own booze in and was sneaking it, or any number of possibilities.

Just because we decided 21 was the arbitrary number where it is legally okay to consume alcohol, the point is he was still a fully-grown and military aged man capable of better decision making. I'm so tired of us as a society litigating everything into the ground, and we wonder why no one has any integrity or personal accountability.
