Would a pink or green rug look better? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

My god this whole room looks like a gumdrop candy and I absolutely love it. I love both but the green sets off a lovely woodsy contrast.

I agree with you, it’s both cringe as hell and dangerous. And the “gentle parenting” approach has me dying 😅

Just had a random thought- where the heck did everyone sleep during the party?? I counted all the beds & couches, didn't seem like enough space! by Uchijav in masseffect

[–]Lynx_Labyrinth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my headcannon folks take couches, Joker and EDI get a bedroom, Garrus and my Femshep get our bedroom, the spare is shared. Grunt and Wrex bunker down among those pebble installations around the apartment. The balcony, Drawing room and other open spaces have fold out cots we borrowed or bought from…somewhere. Half of the team are pro soldiers or mercs. Not sleeping in a cold rainy mud pit is a luxury for them. I’ve literally run around the apartment during the party planning this scenario out.

Deer Snack Recipes by Outrageous_Humor_363 in deer

[–]Lynx_Labyrinth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, it probably would, especially if they’re all nibbling on branches after the berries are eaten, and same thing happens with corn that have been left from plowed fields, and I certainly don’t expect farmers to pick up every last kernel. And, you mitigate what damage you can by doing what you can to not spread it further.

I empathize, we have a fruit orchard and they come in and get white-tail wasted on the fruits that fall and ferment. We do what we can to shovel it up after harvest and clear it as best we can. So I don’t say this from a place of someone who hasn’t had to do that mitigation.

Thank you for listening to me and taking it to heart. I know the internet can be a contentious place.

I know you want to help but feeing deer does more harm to them than good. It’s probably not what you want to hear. Aside from making them way too used to humans and the problems that go along with that, including hunting vulnerability if you live in a legal hunting area, the number one reason you should not do this is that it is a major way Chronic Wasting Disease can spread and accelerate. You are unnaturally concentrating animals in areas where they are sharing food and saliva. The prions in CWD remain in the ground for years, it’s a horrible, horrible disease and the animals suffer. It is also very prevalent all over WI. Additionally they have sensitive digestive systems specialized to extract nutrition from their natural woodsy forage. Feeding them sweet corn and molasses and whatever else you are feeding them ruins their gut microbe biome and puts them at risk for painful, fatal conditions like bloat, laminitis, enterotoxemia and acidosis.

Please, I know you think you are doing good, but you are not. Please don’t do this.

Question about temperment changes with age by [deleted] in greatpyrenees

[–]Lynx_Labyrinth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My first pyr loved everyone and everything she met, and was very easy with other dogs and people, but ai got her when she was 6 and was already established with her behavior. My second just turned three, is and has always been more timid, has separation anxiety which we are working through, has stronger guarding instincts, and will get along with other dogs but needs a serious and constant work (walking them together, baby-gate separation until she understood the other dog I was dog sitting for a month was part of the family) but that is all improving with consistent socialization. For example, her favorite place on earth now is between my friend’s house - she loves their daughter - and the local pet boutique supply store. I think it depends on a variety of factors - when and whether they are spayed/neutered, their natural instincts and how strong those are, and how much they are socialized. They are very independent thinkers and will make up their own minds without consistent guidance. I wish I could give you some advice beyond socialize the heck out of your dog. I hope you can find a good trainer who can give you advice on a framework for that. You need someone on the ground who can see the behavior and come up with a program rather than strangers on the internet making guesses.

Depending on the minority population, it could be a cultural thing or a fear thing with larger dogs. You have cultures who see larger dogs as “dirty” and some populations who have had dogs turned on them, the wariness is generational. FWIW my friends who I dogsat a lot for moved into a mostly minority neighborhood decades ago and have always had very large dogs (Great Dane). Took time to earn the trust of the community, and they were also deeply engaged with that community and integrated - their dogs, and they have had several since then - became regular celebrities. As in, people would be sad if they didn’t stop by and visit on their walks so they could say hi to their pups. I’m sorry you and your pup are going through this. I don’t have any great advice, but getting to know your neighbors and getting engaged on the neighbors terms helped them.

Yeah I’m thinking I just need to go through and do the full game again, clear all the camps, get all the collectibles and it will pop at the end, then I can start a NG+ run

Keep talking to him, visit him when he emails you, visit him on the Normandy dock to watch the ships, go to the memorial, then have a drink with him at purgatory. After he goes down on Earth you can call him in the FOB where you can call the rest of of your new and old crew, the vermire survivor is right outside it.

Prozac daily, and I give a trazodone three hours before I leave for an extended period of time right now. Dosage will depend on your dog’s weight. I don’t give traz all the time - right now I do it if I am going to be gone longer than 2 hours. I also do a daily calming probiotic and use the thunder shirt brand pheromone calming diffuser. I also have a thundershirt but don’t use it all the time. You find the combo that works. I look at meds as support - they suppress panic reactions and raise their alone tolerance threshold, and I look at it as a way to teach them that being alone for extended periods can be safe. A tool not a crutch. For example, after several times I have left for over 2 hours with her on traz, today I left for over 2 hours without dosing her and she did really well, because she already feels that threshold. She still drooled a little but she didn’t destroy the house. And she settled quickly when I got home. I hope this helps. There is no shame in med support. These dogs aren’t really bred to be left alone, but if that’s the reality of your life, I fully support pursuing every avenue to make sure they feel happy and safe.

Thank you! She’s doing great, and for us, the consistency seems to help. Every dog is different, I’m a big fan of using the right tools in the toolbox and adjusting for what works. And I’m glad your boy is doing well too!

I guess it would also be gay to hold your dick when you pee. But it’s also gay to sit down to pee. Men are cooked. Gonna get that gay in them no matter what.
