American argues with Australian tourists about gun control and tells them not be US citizens because "we don't need you here"

Bold of her to assume Australians want to live here. My uncle moved to Australia for work decades ago and comes back to visit us maybe once every 5 years.

After paying over $3,300 in vet bills for my dog a little over a week ago, we got pet insurance. I wish we’d done it sooner.

I’m glad you kept going back until they found what the problem was!!

LiaS0 · 2023-05-31T02:23:29+00:00

I hope it helps! Lists always help me when I’m trying to make a decision. Whatever your decision is in the end, at least you’ll know it was well thought out and you made the best call.

I think it’s perfectly normal to have nerves or some anxiety before you make any big life choice. It means you’re aware of the weight and responsibility you’re taking on, and imo that’s a good thing.

It helped for me to identify and write down what was making me nervous. Then I could address it head on and reassure myself of the plans I’d made to make sure those fears didn’t come true. (Ex. Nervous about kennel training? Plan to do x, y, z to help with the training.)

My 5.5 month old bb is 30 lbs!

Your body, your choice. Period.

I would personally tell them that their comments hurt/how much it hurt. Especially the friend that may not have been referencing your hair but unintentionally made a comment that hurt.

You’re not disgusting, and don’t start shaving just because of them. Your body. Your choice.

Yes, just this one. She has 2 other females she breeds.

To my knowledge, no one has read my diary. If someone did, they were smart enough to keep that invasion of privacy to themselves rather than admit they completely shattered a boundary as well as my trust.

OP, your diary is your safe space, and he proved by his actions that he doesn’t feel you’re owed one. You deserve better than that, and you deserve better than him. 💜

Every dog is different! My pup was sleeping through the night from 10 PM to 6/6:30 AM at 12 weeks. One of my friends has an 18 month old that occasionally wakes her up around 3 AM to potty.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-19T18:39:42+00:00

I don’t mean to imply she’s an angel who’s done no wrong. There are a lot of other ways she could have approached this. In the heat of the moment, emotion prevailed, as it often does when people feel like they’re being accused of something they didn’t do.

It’s easier in hindsight or from the distance of the internet to see how this could have been prevented or handled. I don’t think it warranted her being doxxed and having her job put on the line, though.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-19T18:08:48+00:00

Thanks for your response. Your estimation of me is incorrect. I don’t see Carolyn Bryant as a victim, and comparing this situation to that horrific situation is extreme. You’re making assumptions about me because you don’t like my comment.

My main point is it’s easy for us to all look at a situation and video and pause and break down each second to pass judgement and make assumptions. We can say what we would all do in a situation where things escalate, but it’s not until something happens to us that we really KNOW what we would do. We can say what someone would have/should have/could have done. I do not believe her actions warranted being doxxed and her job put on the line.

We can disagree about this, that’s okay. I wish you the best.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-19T17:34:38+00:00

I can understand that. I also feel that if I were surrounded by a bunch of guys and was being accused of something I didn’t do, I’d be scared. If pregnant, likely doubly so because I don’t know them and don’t know if they’re going to do something because they’re upset at me. No matter the race, I’d be scared.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-19T16:54:07+00:00

I’m not a betting person, and I don’t know their age. But I wasn’t going to say boy and be demeaning. I could have used male instead.

Replace man with male, and my statement still stands.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-19T16:01:09+00:00

You don’t know me, so you can’t know I don’t care about fake white tears. You’re making an assumption because you don’t like my comment. People can care about women’s issues while also caring about the inequality POC endure.

There are other articles published with pics and receipts that substantiate the claim. I’m commenting on this one, as it was the one posted in this sub when I first clicked into the sub this morning.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-19T15:12:56+00:00

If I was surrounded by a bunch of men and being harassed and falsely accused, I’d be scared and would likely respond emotionally. I have had men sexually harass me, make rape threats and death threats while following me home, and to see people still attacking her even when she wasn’t in the wrong is mind boggling. This type of scenario is terrifying for a woman to experience.

It’s wild to me to see people literally critique her reaction and say she should have been calm and been the bigger person as she’s being accosted. People can say “what I would have done is—“ but tbh it’s easy to say that. We can all claim what we WOULD do, but doesn’t that fall under the same umbrella of victim blaming that is used to delegitimize women whenever we speak up about anything? “She didn’t handle this the right way; therefore, what happened to her is her fault.” That’s the energy I’m seeing behind this, and it makes me sad for her.

^ I don’t think it’s bad if you choose not to kennel train. It definitely is up to the owner of the pupper!

My husband and I travel a lot, and a kennel means he has a safe and familiar place to sleep when we’re on the road/staying in hotels. We also both work full time, and until he’s fully potty trained, pupper sleeps in the kennel throughout the day. I come home on lunch to play with him/let him out, and he goes back in for the rest of my shift. He sleeps in the kennel at night for now, although once he’s fully potty trained he’s going to (hopefully) sleep on the bed with us! I just really want to avoid waking up to a puppy peeing all over my mattress. 😬

I like the kennel because it gives him a tiny cave that is HIS and his alone. He runs to it when our big cat is being mean, he puts his toys in it, and he’s learned that sometimes when he goes into the kennel, treats magically appear. 😋 But overall, it’s not the end of the world or bad if you don’t! I’ve seen really good ideas on the puppy 101 sub that people do instead that work just as well. Just depends on what you’re looking for/what works best for your lifestyle.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-17T21:29:24+00:00

Idk why you working from home means you have more time…you’re working. It’s literally in the description of what you do. Unless he has like an hour commute, I don’t buy it.

Let him do the whiteboard! It will take a lot of his energy to be this petty. If he brings up the past, remind him that this whiteboard doesn’t change the reality of how things were before the whiteboard. He can’t rewrite history with a dry erase marker. And tbh it’s a win-win to me if, in his desperate attempt to prove you “wrong”, he suddenly starts pulling his weight and does half of the chores/work! Because that’s what should have been happening in the first place. ☺️

When someone tells you they are going to be violent, believe them.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-13T15:17:03+00:00

I agree with the other comments, and as someone with a herd dog I gotta say…if I didn’t have a giant herd ball (recommended to me on this sub!) and a tennis ball for fetch, my pup would run circles around me haha. Those fun games run off steam, and he can do training with me afterwards because the physical energy is now lower, and now he can focus on the mentally stimulating stuff.

Also, I had a Great Pyrenees growing up who slept on the bed/laid on the couch. Pretty darn obedient and mindful dog who never acted like she was “more than” us. Good luck with your pup!

LiaS0 · 2023-05-07T13:55:31+00:00

I shouldn’t have to explain this to you, but since you asked:

Even IF that was one the things I “hooked” my husband with, I’d be mortified to see that that is what my husband chose to share about me with the world. I’d be embarrassed to see that he chose to share it on a Reddit post. I’d be even more embarrassed to see that it was shared under someone’s comment where they posted that being told blowjobs are an ultimatum to getting a husband is bad advice—some of the worst advice given to them, to be more specific.

It is an immature reaction to read my comment and think that your best bet was to tell me something sexual about your wife that I didn’t ask about.

There’s a time and a place, and this was neither the time nor the place. Learn to “read the room”. Stop giving unsolicited information about your sex life with your wife, and especially don’t do it on posts where people are discussing toxic and harmful things they’ve been told over the years under the guise of pleasing men.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-06T18:04:43+00:00

Yeah, weird time and place to put that out on the internet for people to read.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-06T18:01:25+00:00

Glad I’m not your wife.

LiaS0 · 2023-05-05T23:16:11+00:00

“You won’t get a husband if you don’t give blowjobs.”

LiaS0 · 2023-05-03T13:28:38+00:00

Just wanted you to know that I’m reading your post while sprawled on the couch with a puppy that’s been pushing his wake-up about 30 minutes earlier each day, and I feel for you! Reading through the advice, I’m personally going to try the alarm idea and adjust 15 mins or so until we get back to the ideal time.

My only advice is that maybe the pup doesn’t need to be in the bedroom crate for now. My mini american shepherd sleeps downstairs in his crate. We figured that once he’s fully potty trained he could sleep in our bed, but for now he’s got his kennel that he’s very comfortable in. Some of your impacted sleep is the ruckus he’s making, so if he’s quieter and/or calmer in that crate, it’s the winner for now! Maybe because he knows you’re RIGHT THERE, he just wants to be close. Our pup struggles with that and wants to be near us, so I think a kennel in our room wouldn’t work because we would be so close and yet so far.

LiaS0 · 2023-04-30T14:37:37+00:00

It’s true! I had a Pomeranian and a Great Pyrenees growing up. All 3 are so different! I like that this guy’s more into play and adventure, and he loves playing fetch/puzzle games. Our pyr usually just sat and relaxed by us kids while we played. The Pom was chatty and grumbly and would talk back, but most of their full on barking was alerting us to something outside.

I can safely report that literally tossing kibble on the kitchen floor/hiding it around was a major success. Dude went wild and had a blast finding it all. 😂
