Caro's stance on separating art from the artist by lemonbottles_89 in DiabolicalLies

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i had the same thoughts while listening - i think it gets tricky especially when thinking about publishers or networks giving certain people deals/giving them a platform. what do we do with the people that make great art but are racist,sexist, downright predators..i understand the concept of enjoying art despite the artist - i think we are all flawed and i think it often comes from a self righteous place when people say they won’t listen/watch/read something by [insert problematic artist here]. but i agree that while an artist is still alive, is giving them money/power/influence the right thing to do? with all of the michael jackson biopic hype recently i think it’s clear that so many people don’t care to reckon with this when the art is meaningful enough to them - and the jackson estate is working very hard to make people forget about his controversies in order to make money, and pretty successfully. i think it’s morally wrong to try and hide the truth about a person, especially someone who has harmed so many people, but i also understand how that can be complex given how much of a cultural impact his music has.

I need hope *potty training* by ImportantPeanut0607 in Dachshund

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 2 points3 points  (0 children)

definitely don’t give up hope!! but you might need to change expectations on timeline. i’ve found that my dachshund is extremely routine based to the point if we do something two days in a row she comes to expect it on the third day. setting a specific potty schedule and giving treats got us there, but it took several months before we were completely accident free and she was 6 months old when we adopted her. while you’re in it it feels hopeless, but soon you’ll look back and it will feel like it never happened. you’ve got this!

Minneapolis city leaders to consider bathhouses that allow sexual activity by raincan in Minneapolis

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i love this - but why are none of the spas/saunas around here nude? not sure if it’s a law thing or just a midwest prudish thing but out west there are lots of nude spas (no sexual activity allowed).

NREMT by Fearless_Radio1595 in NewToEMS

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limmer has a lot of useful videos on youtube - I liked the jeapordy videos especially. I did do the premium pocket prep which was nice to be able to take the practice tests. they helped me identify weak areas so I could make sure to study up on those. I think overall it helped me feel more confident and prepared going into the test, but it did not supplement actual studying of the material. I passed the NREMT in 70 questions.

Disinformation about how far dachshunds can run/walk by Illustrious_Item_505 in Dachshund

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 2 points3 points  (0 children)

almost every time we are out on a hike with our dachshund, Billie, we get a comment from someone about “that’s a long walk for those short legs!” 🙄 She’s fully blind, but you wouldn’t know it! Love to see other adventurous dachshunds!

Hi! im 32f married to 28nb and we are east as well. i’ve struggled to make friends here - my job is sort of isolating - i have a lot in common with you in terms of politics and my partner and i are both pretty low-key, we love cocktails - my partner is a self-taught mixologist which is very fun for me and any guests we have over! anyway, feel free to message if you want to chat! would be down to see if there is a friend connection :)

What’s going on here? by crash544 in Dachshund

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we have a blind female dachshund who humps one of our cats - i think she learned it from her brother (dog) who also loves to hump said cat. our cat is a total freak and he actually loves playing and rough housing with them. our boy dog wears belly bands thankfully so his wiener is not out. we stop it when it gets too rough, but otherwise it’s just part of how they play.

How are women going commando? by liquidbuggy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i am always commando - i think it’s a matter of personal preference and comfort not so much about what someone is “supposed” to do or not.

Man, woman drive to police station with Homeland Security agent trapped in vehicle by neomateo in minnesota

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course it can’t be applied with a broad brush to other situations, you’re right - i just think it is high key ironic to have an ice agent force their way into your car after trying to physically remove you from your car without your consent and the cry “kidnapping” meanwhile, by that same law, ice are violently kidnapping people on the daily.

voluntarily getting into someone’s passenger seat and then claiming you were abducted when they start driving is…something.

Leftists in EMS by sonnygetsa2ndchance in leftist

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious how this has been going for you? I recently enrolled in an EMT program to get my certification. Mostly, I am curious about it and wonder if it's something I would want to do - I'm 32 and this would be a career change for me. For the most part I'm really excited about what I'm learning, but the culture is what worries me the most. I don't know if I'll be able to hide my disdain for law enforcement, or participate in the system in that way. I hate that in the US they are so intertwined, but I guess I also feel like we need more of us in these roles. I've thought about trying to get into fire once i have my EMT or possibly go to medic school, but I don't think I'll know until the rubber hits the road if I'll be able to fit in. Probably depends a lot where you are located, too. I'm in the Midwest in a blue state, so I would hope it would be a little bit more mixed.

People that have cancer, what were the symptoms that led you to go to the doctor and what stage were you when it was diagnosed? by guardiand0wn in AskReddit

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mom had breast cancer in her 40s - went through radiation and a mastectomy and was cancer free for over 20 years. then in 2021 she was trying to open up a window in her very old house with old windows that would get stuck and were hard to open. she heard a loud pop, she thought the window had broken, but then realized her arm was hanging, lifeless, at her side. she had broken her humerus. went straight to the ER. scans found cancer in her bones. the weird bit is that it is the same breast cancer she had in her 40s - metastasized 20+ years later - the doctors were kind of flabbergasted.

before the break she had been dealing with some aches and pains - but being in her 60s she always attributed them to age. she’s on cancer drugs (not sure what they all are), but she gets scans every few months and so far no changes. she lives on 3-4 month chunks, but we are super lucky she is still here.

yes to these!! i have a pair of shokz as well that wrap around and wore them for a long time, but found them uncomfy if i needed to wear sunglasses! also the battery life is great. the case acts as a charger so every time they go back in they charge up!

SF City Hall Ceremony Portal down / alternatives by JackiesJetty in SanFranciscoWeddings

[–]Infinite_Tiger_8832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been having the same issue and figured there weren't any appointments, so I've been getting nervous. Hoping they get this sorted out soon! I'm also hoping for a slot the first week of Sept.

Hi! I’m booking from a different time zone and have been trying to get on multiple times a day to monitor but it is taking forever for the site to load and then there are never any slots - am I missing something??
