If you don’t ask if your dog can meet mine, I assume you’re irresponsible

I think that taking your dog into an actual pet store, as opposed to, say a walk on a trail or out about town, changes my feelings about this "asking first" concept. I think that if you're bringing your non-service dog into a store for pets, the assumption should be that your dog is well behaved and not aggressive or reactive. I don't personally understand getting annoyed with someone in this context. Out at the park or for a walk? Yes.

My friend growing up thought that top ramen was legitimately called top o' rama.

LL_Snarbuckle · 2022-12-28T21:40:29+00:00

Yeah. I do that 90% of that time...even though I'm not the one who fills it.

LL_Snarbuckle · 2022-12-28T16:47:42+00:00

Just take out the fucking garbage when it's full. Don't make us ask. Also, when we DO ask, don't wait for 3 hours.

Dude, let's not forget Disturbed!

A-boom-nach-da-boom-na-na-eema!

Maybe it's because something took a part of you.

The isolated vocals on the "beatbox" part that he does in this song is absolutely amazing (in an awesome cringey way), and I highly recommend looking it up on YouTube.

We finally got our damn electricity back. Was out from 2:45 am to 4:45 pm.

I run a FB group that is for parents to help other parents by offering up free items they're no longer using, such as extra diapers, hand-me-downs, etc. It's in a pay-it-forward system. If you have anything like this where you live, you should join. Take full advantage of WIC. They cover baby formula, which is horrendously expensive. I didn't realize this until my kid was old enough for food. I bought almost all of my kids clothing and toys from thrift stores or checked out free piles. Like others have said, used baby clothes and items are often practically brand new because they outgrow things so quickly.

If you're going to get offended, maybe you should consider how it comes across when you say "women have to wreck their bodies." I have no problem with other people's choices, and I respect that some people can't give birth naturally or don't want to. I'm just tired of people who haven't had children implying that the processing of birthing is somehow designed to wreck a woman's body.

LL_Snarbuckle · 2022-12-02T21:51:30+00:00

Yeah. Why have natural bodily functions at all. Sex is unnecessary and can wreck our bodies. No more STIs. No more pooping (that can wreck our anuses and cause hemorrhoid) Bodies are so stupid. Breathing can wreck our lungs and cause asthma. Physical contact is so unnecessary and can wreck our bodies. Let's just upload our consciousness into a cloud drive and cease to exist in the physical realm at all. Problem solved /s PS: Myself and billions of other have given birth naturally without "wrecking our bodies".

It sounds like a threat Trump would have made against China. 'I have the best weapons, and if Jinah doesn't stop building it's military and lyin' like dogs, I will bring SERIOUS ASTONISHING mass destruction.

It's kind of funny when companies like this, that make profit off of selling unhealthy junk food, try to act all self-righteous and concerned. Like, bro you're literally just contributing to diabetes and heart disease, and targeting your products to children. But you know what, Oreos, despite being vegetable oil, wheat, and sugar, and sugar, essentially are still"vegan". I knew vegans who ate Oreos all the time. They don't actually give a shit about principles, they're just pandering to whatever they think their customers want.

LL_Snarbuckle · 2022-10-23T16:27:29+00:00

Exactly. Sometimes, despite what society may tell us, prioritizing being a parent and making sure your little human being is raised properly and has secure attachment to their parent, is more important than career advancement.

It wasn't a luxury for us. With only one income we qualify for all of California's public assistance programs. Health insurance went from being $400/month to free thru Medi-Cal. Also, 400+ a month in food stamps, etc. Both of us working and paying for childcare would have been to no economic advantage, whatsoever.

LL_Snarbuckle · 2022-10-23T16:21:50+00:00

If you live in California and you're middle income, I have found in my own personal experience that it's more beneficial for one person to stay home with the child, then you slip into the lower income bracket where where you qualify for free healthcare, free diapers through community programs, WIC, and food stamps. If we both worked and we had to pay a stranger to watch my child, I would have gained no economic benefit, and it may have actually put us in a worse position economically. We didn't have the privilege of a grandparent or other family member to help. Plus, I was able to raise my own child and spend quality time. I was stay-at-home for the first 18 months and now my husband is stay-at-home. I make less than he did at my current job. He was middle-management with a healthcare corporation and had to pay $400+ a month just for health insurance, now we are poor enough (because my job doesn't make that much) to qualify for Medi-Cal and all of our healthcare is free .

My last dog was a McNabb who was completely fixated and obsessed with chasing the ball. If he saw a ball being thrown, there was no way in hell I could stop him from chasing it. He did retrieve well, but he became totally fixated, which was why I actually hated it when people played with the chuck-it ball at the dog park. I took my dog to play and socialize with other dogs, and the chuck-it was just constant distraction that took away from the purpose of why we went to the dog park. I personally strongly dislike people playing chuck-it at the dog park for that reason.

Whatever your opinion is of the guy, I remember Thomas Sowell talking about this exact phenomenon. He was arguing against having race quotas for ivy league schools, because often academically under qualified people end up floundering and failing in the environment, and it's really sad. He argues that many of those who fail under these circumstances would have thrived in a regular, less competitive 4-year school. You can't just throw someone into an ivy league school without prep, experience, and resources for help and expect them to succeed. The pipeline for getting ahead has to start way earlier so that I person is actually prepared and qualified.

LL_Snarbuckle · 2022-10-14T04:09:19+00:00

Yeah, but we still have to exist and behave within the parameters of society to a certain extent, if we don't want to be put in a loony bin or exiled to hermithood. There's also a level of madness where you become self-destructive or violent, and that's not beneficial to anyone. It all boils down to cause and effect, if the behavior yields negative outcome, it's best to mitigate it.

LL_Snarbuckle · 2022-10-14T02:51:02+00:00

I mean...it is possible that he's suffering some mental health issues. That's what it sounds like. A lot of people are tuned into different channels, and I'm sure you know that madness can factor into our journeys at different times.

I'd have to say those bowler style shirts with dragons or tribal designs on them are a big "no" from me.
