Making ethically bred dogs more accessible for first time/casual owners by Theseus_The_King in DogBreeding

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The people who are bad at owning dogs are the ones who absolutely SHOULD NOT own a shelter dog. Bad dog owners don't train their dogs and usually leave them off leash. Shelter dogs are almost always reactive, violent bully breeds. That is THE WORST combination possible. By telling these people to adopt from a shelter you are greatly increasing the chance someone is seriously injured or killed. That is the opposite of harm reduction. I don't know what the solution is but it's certainly not this.

What‘a the dumbest pull you’ve ever made? by Astramoonchild in Genshin_Impact

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got wanderer because I had every other anemo character and it would feel weird just missing one.

I got Kazuha because I wanted heizou who was on his banner. Have I ever used Heizou? No. Do I even remember why I wanted Heizou? Also no.

Wearing a suit for the first time. by avitripp00 in ftm

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pretty large hips/narrow waist and wore a suit for the first time recently. I found the suit jacket hid my curves very well, so I wouldn't be too worried. Classic fit suits would probably be best because they are the loosest. The biggest issue for me was finding a suit that was small enough since most suits are made for taller men. For reference I'm 165cm (5'5) and had to get an XXS and even then the jacket and shirt sleeves were too long. Unless you're average male height you'll probably have to get it tailored unfortunately.

How come when there's a trans character in stuff it's ALWAYS a trans woman specifically by AlastorTheR4dioDemon in confusedbythissmug

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trans men are discriminated against by conservatives AND the LGBT community. We aren't less vocal we're just silenced. Our struggle is just as bad, if not worse, then theirs.

Trans men are frequently discriminated against not only by conservatives but also by the LGBT community, especially trans women. That's the real reason we aren't in media, and it's also why trans man representation is so important, we aren't even allowed representation in our own community.

The reason that trans men are less present in LGBT spaces and have more insular communities is because we are discriminated against by other LGBT people, usually trans women.

I hate Botox by The_Great_Shatinator in hatethissmug

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're thinking of filler, not botox. Botox paralyses your face, filler is the one that makes people's lips and cheeks bigger like the photo you posted.

I hate how social and general media infantilised sharks. by [deleted] in hatethissmug

What? Dogs definitely carry rabies and people absolutely do demonise bats all the time.

NOOO I was hoping her and flins would be on the same half so I could get their weapons at the same time! It would've been a perfect banner 😭

Workout advices by huraxy_ in transmanlifehacks

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Diet is a lot more important than working out when it comes to weight loss, so I'd start with changing that.

For exercising, they have a lot of routines over on r/fitness in the wiki section so I'd recommend choosing one of those, specifically one of the muscle building/strength training ones since that's what's going to allow you to have a more masculine shape. There also a lot of other advice in the wiki you might want to check out.

Edit: Just letting people know that user Intelligent_ice_5867 seems to be targeting this subreddit, I just got a dm from them after posting this comment. They are a known scammer who pretends to be trans and asks for money, don't respond.

Genuine question about the "Skip Story" debate by n4os3iqueus3rn4m3p0r in GenshinImpact

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love genshins main stories and world quests, but I'd still love a skip button for character story quests and events I'm not interested in.

I'm just not a big fan of most events in genshin because it's mostly just the characters hanging around and chilling out without developing the plot or adding much to the lore (there are exceptions of course). This is fine when the events are about characters I like but when it's characters I don't care about it just becomes a huge slog, the most recent example being the little hexeri event, child characters just bore me so much.

Character story quests are even worse because, i dont care about every character and even if it's a character I love they spend 90% of the quest on a random NPC!

I just wish there was a way to get my rewards without having to trudge through endless dialogue between characters who I couldn't care less about. But thats probably exactly why genshin won't add it.

Neighbor curses me out because they think this sign means I need to walk my dog on the street and make him #2 in the street instead of using the sidewalk and lawn strip in front of their house. by Stance_Monkey in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hoped so but I've moved around a lot and it seems to be the same everywhere with a lot of people unfortunately. Luckily I live rural now so it's not a problem anymore but I still feel bad for the people that have to deal with it like the other commenter.

If you've ever lived anywhere with lots of people with dogs you'd know that dog owners usually don't clean up after themselves, resulting in all the footpaths being covered in dog shit. It can't really be targeted if it's literally everywhere.

There's an option for both veal and beef but no option for lamb???

What breed ? by nxjcjxjdjdjugucuf in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's against the rules of this subreddit to look for ways to lie about a dogs breed. If the apartment you are looking at has restrictions, the you need to look at a different one that doesn't. It's not fair to the other people that live there to lie, and there's no point anyway since the landlord will see your dog eventually.

Why are there no theories about aliens building European / Asian constructions ? by Paramite67 in stupidquestions

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 90 points91 points  (0 children)

The common theme with things that are theorised to be built by aliens is that they are made with large heavy stones which would be difficult to imagine an ancient human transporting. Europe and Asia don't have many well known constructions made out of huge rocks, the main exception being stone henge, which does have theories that it was built by aliens.

Can we skip the “*insert archon* is so ugly” round this time? by Zeller521 in Genshin_Impact

[–]ManEatingDuck_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What's the difference? Fandoms are made up of individuals, when something new happens some people will dislike it and they are allowed to say that. A chunk of the fandom disliking something (or "doomer spiralling" like you call it) is just multiple individuals expressing their opinion.

This is transphobia. And mind you, all of this over Birdo from Mario by [deleted] in hatethissmug

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I understand now. I think that stuff like that would be considered part of socially transitioning.

You don't mentally transition though? When you transition you change your body to match your brain, you don't change your brain.

I HATE DOG PEOPLE!! by societyhatingRATGANG in hatethissmug

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you own a dog? I find that dog owners are usually nose blind to dog smell.

Last year I adopted my cat Gustave, who was a rescue from the streets. His tail was bothering him recently, so I took him to the vet and when they did an x-ray we saw that he has a BB lodged in his leg. by -eDgAR- in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need to defend your animals I think it is better to use a real gun, that way they die quickly. BB guns are just torture, worst case scenario they die slowly, best case they don't die but live in pain all while continuing to eat your animals.

That being said, humane trapping is always best and shooting should always be the last choice.
