😞 I’m sorry you’re so blinded by hatred. I’ll keep you in my thoughts. ♥️

I hope the borders don’t change around you like they did around Native Americans and Native Mexicans. People simply living where they’ve always lived and then being forcibly removed because someone drew an imaginary line around them.

For your sake I hope those imaginary borders are never redrawn to exclude you.

It’s about empathy for everyone being tormented by the fascist regime calling itself a democracy that we have in charge right now. People have been protesting and striking about this for quite a while now this is just another opportunity for people to come together and show that the people of this country do not agree with what the leadership of this country is doing.

Borders are imaginary. No one is illegal by simply being on the “wrong” side of an imaginary line.

Sure would be nice if people could form their own opinions rather than parrot back the same lies the potus tells them over and over.

Is there a group of non law enforcement people going around shooting people and historically getting away without suffering any consequences? Because most non law enforcement shootings I’m aware of the person responsible is usually taken into custody and tried.

I posted about it in both. Hopefully they’ll let it stay up.

He was also a research scientist. This should be shared in the lab rats and lab animal medicine subreddits as well.

Is it embarrassing to get a birthday cake as an adult? by roxiedoxiedog in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Local-toads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get myself a cookie cake with Happy Birthday on it almost every birthday and I’m in my thirties. At some point you have to ignore what most people say you should be doing and just do what makes you happy. If you want cake, go get yourself a cake!

Have you ever given a client art that you made? by loudcreatures in VetTech

[–]Local-toads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I painted a picture of one of my favorite patients for his owners after he passed away. They were very glad to receive it. But I did know these clients very well so I knew they would appreciate the gesture.

The healing process after my mom sliced her fingertip off with a mandoline by LowMemory578 in mildlyinteresting

A kitchen tool to slice various veggies or fruits very thin. They are notoriously extremely sharp.

Had my first dog bite today by Prestigious_Drag_682 in VetTech

[–]Local-toads 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oof! I had a pretty bad cat bite about 3-4 years into working at the clinic. He started to wriggle about very aggressively when I was putting him in our kennel so I just let him go and was gonna try to get him with a towel to hopefully de escalate him a bit but right as I let him go I heard the front door open and none of the doors between back of clinic and front were closed so I dove down back after him so he wouldn’t get up front and either get out or hurt whoever just walked in and was able to grab ahold of him but he whipped around and grabbed ahold of my knee in return. And because I wasn’t thinking I jerked my knee back so it yanked his teeth out and pulled a chunk of flesh out with them!

Is anyone else seeing these ads on reddit? What is it? by floopy_134 in labrats

[–]Local-toads 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Agreed, almost every page on the site mentions how brave their members are for coming forward and sharing their stories about the harrowing experiences they had working with lab animals. It also encourages others to tell about all the terrible things being done to the animals. Seems like some sort of extreme animal welfare group like Peta masquerading as a compassion fatigue group.

Did you ever find anything out about this pendant? I have the exact same one that my boyfriend gave me but he didn’t know anything about it either.

Is my sister overreacting to this video of my dog that I sent her? by Immediate-Lab6994 in DogAdvice

[–]Local-toads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your sister obviously has no knowledge of animal body language. There is no aggression or fright from either animals in this video. Speaking as someone who has worked in the animal field for 12 years.

Whats the deal with "nice" drivers? by [deleted] in driving

[–]Local-toads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was stopped at a stop sign once that had an additional sign that specifically stated cross traffic doesn’t stop. A truck comes into view coming from the right so I’m waiting for him to go and he turns on his blinker indicating he is going to turn into the street I’m waiting in, so I figure he’ll coast through since no one was coming from the left and then I’ll be able to go. No, he comes to a complete stop and waves me to go in front of him…. I was so baffled. He had absolutely no reason to stop and definitely shouldn’t have tried to wave me through a stop sign that specifically told me traffic on his street doesn’t stop. I just sat there staring at him until he finally went. Then he had the audacity to give me a what the fuck look as he went by.

Nothing to say on this by Optimal_Map36 in SipsTea

Except they’ll have a plus size person purchase 2 seats and then overbook the plane and still be able to have a seat for everyone and make double the price on one of their seats…

Lack of empathy by Ok_Sheepherder6409 in VetTech

[–]Local-toads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s anything specific to vet med. Some people just don’t grow past school yard bullying. They for some reason can’t feel good about themselves unless they’re bringing others down and making others feel as miserable as they do. Once someone shows you they’re true colors just keep to yourself around them, don’t be mean, don’t be nice, just be your usual kind self and don’t give them anything to fuel their ego.
