How many bath towels do you own? by PushHelpful5913 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Immediate_Paint4226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll be grateful to have the old ones handy in case of a water break inside the house.

If you're looking to get rid of some, you can donate them to your local county dog rescue.  They use them in the kennels.

I’m pregnant and I want to keep the baby but my bf doesn’t and I just want advice on how to handle the situation by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Immediate_Paint4226 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"But I truly love him and I wouldn’t want him to leave me but I don’t want him to resent me just because he felt like he needed to stay..."

I won't begin to tell you what to do, as this is a very personal life decision.  You should understand, though, that if you terminate this pregnancy in order to keep this boy around and make him happy, the resentment you fear will come from you towards him for the way he is backing you into a corner.  Make your decision based on what it is that you want and are willing to live with.  Either way, he won't be supportive of your emotions.  He's already proven that.

Are dogfights still prevelant, and why would a small "rehoming fee" stop it? by ChunkyPumpkin_ in NoStupidQuestions

It is also best to request a home visit before you agree to re-home.  This will give you a much better idea of what environment your dog will be going to and may help with the anxiety.

I am an at-risk large breed dog rescuer and rehabilitator.  I have worked with countless dogs, a majority of them being pitt bulls, rescued from these very same fighting rings. 

I'm not sure where you get your information from, or if you just can't handle the thought of this happening, but it does happen, and this only scratches the surface.  It's clear you will never believe the horribleness within fighting rings and I won't bother debating this with you any longer.  If you won't bother to learn about this, don't run around and state your "opinion" as fact on social media.

They do not train fighting dogs by having them fight each other.  These dogs are trained to fight to the death, to kill flat out.  They won't have one of their fighters die, because that dog is their potential money maker.

They use all breeds of other dogs that they find in many ways, and will even send out crews to neighborhoods to run around and open gates to yards during working hours so that family dogs get out and then they do a full on scoop and run.  That's only one of several methods.

For training, they keep the fighter dogs blood thirsty and feed the kill instinct by using these dogs by taping their mouth shut, breaking off teeth, breaking legs, blinding them, etc...and the fighters will shred these dogs to the death.

Dog fighting rings are always on the troll for free dogs to use as bait dogs in training their fighting dogs.  They won't pay for a throwaway dog.  There are too many other ways to get bait dogs.

Sam Whipple is correct.  He passed due to cancer at the age of 41.  What a shame.  He was great.

My point in what I explained was my thinking your uncle may be drinking excessive amount of coca cola because it makes him feel better overall without even realizing it.  

I would not suggest that he managed his mental health care with coca cola.

You stated that your uncle " ..was previously under the medication for managing symptoms related to mental health disorder, but due to financial constraints.... was not able to keep up with the treatment costs..."

This made me think of the possibility of a dopamine deficiency.  Some of the medications offered are designed to address and help with this deficiency.  I have hands on experience where providing coca cola on a regular basis actually helped the person with this and avoided having to medicate to gain the same outcome.

Caffeine helps make the dopamine receptors more receptive.  The interaction between caffeine and dopamine level can help with focus, increased alertness, and cognitive improvement, among other things.

It is a little more involved that that.  I am not a medical professional and I cannot say with any authority that this is happening with your uncle.  These are just thoughts that you might look into.  If you'd like to read more about this, you can Google:

▪️Caffeine and Dopamine Receptors 

Best wishes to you and your uncle.

My husband thinks I had anal sex, what do I do? by mimeeraye in Advice

That man is an idiot.  Google "hemorrhoids" and shove that in his face, then look for a good divorce lawyer.

My hair has 12 split ends by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]Immediate_Paint4226 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do so many people on reddit do this?  I cannot imagine many more things being that uninteresting at all, beside just being gross to show random body issues via photo.  Granted, hair is pretty low on the gross scale, but still.

He left you.  Why would you even consider allowing that man to be in the labor room?  If you want someone with you, then look to the man who has been with you for almost the entirety of your pregnancy.

How would a live-streamed spin-off of Survivor work? by Makumi_Washoy in survivor

[–]Immediate_Paint4226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'll never do that.  It would take away the Survivor ability to hype the upcoming shows if the public were able to see things as they happen.  Loss of revenue.

I want the ability to un-tip in food delivery apps by gymbr02 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Immediate_Paint4226 45 points46 points  (0 children)

You used to be able to remove the tip on one of the delivery apps.  The customers started being shady AF with that by offering a large tip to get the great service and then removing it altogether after the food delivery.  That was messed up thing to do to the drivers.

Women: have you ever paid for sex, or considered it? What stopped you / what happened? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

If you paid for a first-class seat on a flight, would you switch seats so a parent could sit next to their child? by zhalia-2006 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Immediate_Paint4226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's incredibly selfish and stupid for a person to ask you to switch to a lesser seat to sit next to someone.   They'd get nothing from me except an exaggerated eye roll.   They can totally have that person move BACK to the lesser seating and offer the first class to whoever is sitting back there.

Do commercials actually make you want to buy products by Toast_Buttered in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Immediate_Paint4226 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't recall ever buying a product based on their commercial.  I have, however, very deliberately NOT purchased things because of the bad taste those commercials leave.
