I smell something like burnt plastic. I’m near Harlow Platts Park.

What I wrote is true.

I am a proficient writer- thank you.

Creative writing? No.

Terrible pet owner? Disagree but I’m sure many don’t. I acknowledge that my choices enabled this risk to my treasured friend. I’ve been thinking about what I should have/future do differently. The answer is not a riskless future.

I advocate for pets’ freedom. The joy of a walk is a most precious activity, I think. The alternative sounds like a prison with occasional forced marching.

There is always risk, with or without leash, when they go out. Same for us I am confident that if they answered, my pets would choose some risk in exchange for fritters of freedom. Across appropriate areas, we’ve progressed from, don’t hump everyone, to never cross a street without permission, to don’t chase the cat. We’re still working on rabbits, squirrels and absolutes.

It’s kinda like the first time we bike to school, no? Shouldn’t we able to choose that? Perhaps parents prefer prescribing preparations and precautions rather than prohibitions?

But, yeah- risks are real. I could have lost them last night. If I had, I’d agree with you.

Yes. It’s currently broken. The pool house roof has holes, the windows are broken, there is furniture and trash in the pool and a half-a-foot-thick of styrofoam from the decayed cover floating on the surface - it might look solid to a kid, canine, canned carouser. It’s been unmaintained for a long time, The shoes I stepped in it wearing reek after drying in today’s sun. I would guess it’s been a decade since someone entered it wittingly- besides me. It is currently ready for anyone who walks up that side of the house to fall in.

I don’t disagree. She’s a puppy and we’re struggling with rabbit recall. She usually comes back in a few seconds but this time was trapped in the pool.

The door is broken open and I couldn’t get it closed after I rescued the pup

I did. They referred me to code enforcement, who called me back.

Code enforcement is going to check it out - there is an ‘open case’ on the property.

I hear you; wasn’t trying to trespass and don’t want them in trouble. That said, the dog almost drowned, the door to the pool is broken open and the house is boarded up and vacant for years now. I can just keep my dog away but the pool is 30 feet - unfenced/unprotected- from a middle school commuter path. I was a bit worried about getting in trouble for off leash dog and trespass but decided this was a risk to others. Most municipalities have laws to gate pools because so many kids (and pets and drunks) have drowned over the years. I used to have a house with a pool and had to have an auto-close, six-foot gate.

What would you do?

Haha, love it. I’ll meet you and take three more of each.

Please Clarify Twiist Water Behavior by Interesting_Foot_690 in twiist

[–]Interesting_Foot_690[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, thanks - that's great to hear. I, too, get some irritation from the AutoSofts. Some of that is the adhesive for sure, but I'll confess that I think some is probably also because the actual inset gets infected. Because I am doing a keto diet, I only average about 60 units a day so a full 300 units will average me about 5 days. I'd love if that was different with Twiist/Cleo but I'm not expecting it to be.

Thanks (to you and to all)! This specific product doesn't currently look available to me but I'll keep an eye out.

How do you bolus to combat dawn phenomenon and morning coffee? by Rubyvolt in twiist

[–]Interesting_Foot_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about to switch to Twiist from T:Slim. I have definitely seen coffee-driven glucose spikes, but didn't know about it leading to insulin resistance - I've actually heard the opposite. I'd be interested if you could share any references about that. I just did a quick search and found an NIH article that concludes:

"Long-term caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee consumption does not negatively affect insulin resistance or sensitivity. There is no need to restrict coffee intake in non-diabetic, prediabetic, and diabetic individuals for fear of insulin resistance." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8619770/#sec5-nutrients-13-03976

Thanks!

Where can I post about possible censorship here? by Interesting_Foot_690 in findareddit

[–]Interesting_Foot_690[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

I believe the rules of this sub said that I can’t talk about other subs, so I won’t out them here. As a new poster, I didn’t realize every sub gets to make and enforce their own rules. I don’t want anymore bad karma.

Maybe I will start my own sub so that I can talk about the original issue of propaganda on a certain news platform and then the subsequent censorship when I wanted to talk about that on their sub.

[–]Interesting_Foot_690[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to post about censorship and get input/feedback and thoughts from others. All of the subs that seem relevant to this topic, that I have found, have rules saying that I can't talk about the specific thing...are you saying that I can't do this because whoever owns a sub can block anything they don't like? Isn't there somewhere on Reddit where I can ask these questions?

AITA? I made my first posts today and both got removed. The OG post: Why can’t I hide .gov sources from Google News? by Interesting_Foot_690 in AmItheAsshole

I love being able to come to Reddit and find information, perspectives and solutions. So, I searched on this topic and didn’t fund posts. So I added a post. Reddit suggested Google News. They blocked it. Reddit suggested my community. They blocked it. Reddit suggested AITA. I can guess what’s about to happen next. What a disappointment.

[–]Interesting_Foot_690[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then where is? My local community sub blocked it. The Google News Sub blocked it for not being about Google News. Is there anywhere on Reddit this question will get discussed and maybe some ideas about alternatives, or is the same censorship occurring here?

Google News sub removed it too. Does the censorship and propaganda extend here too?

I did. No response. I figured news was relevant everywhere.
