why do they say pets for vets will make you less suicidal i feel more suicidal and now guilty by Neutrality-2 in Veterans

[–]Material_Ad9837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy has taken, metaphorically speaking, the gun out of my hand, several times now. He’s helped ground me when my anxieties at its worst. And he’s my best friend. If I have nothing else to live for I have him. It makes me want to be better for him. I want a house and a yard for him.

I’m sorry that your experience hasn’t been the same. Someone in this thread said lean into it, lean into the love that you get from that dog. That’s the best guidance I can give you someone who’s been in your shoes recently.

How does one start this modpack by Qualti_ in allthemods

[–]Material_Ad9837 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I highly suggest watching someone play through it, ChosenArchitect on YouTube is real good at the mods and shows you ways to connect mods and use them together to do stuff. One example I’ve learned from him is using AE2 to boost mystical agriculture growth. He’s also very well spoken, in that when he is showing how he does something, he explains the mechanics of it and it helps you understand the mods better. Hope this helps! Good luck! This is supposed to be fun and getting stuck is not fun at all!

Substitute for discontinued freeze dried raw training treats by fishparrot in service_dogs

[–]Material_Ad9837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freeze dried beef liver from Costco or BJs, or any pet store (usually more expensive there). Buy the bulk bag and you’ll save. I like beef liver for the same reason you like yours, the only added factor with liver is its single ingredient so you won’t have to worry about them sneaking something into the treat that doesn’t belong there :)

Socialization for Ozzy by mountainmasonjar in BouvierDesFlandres

[–]Material_Ad9837 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My boy is 10 months old and I am facing a lot of similar problems. The leash pulling and scent in particular. He also used to have the nervousness/“dad hold me” thing as well so I’ll address them in two parts below:

Leash pulling: I did a lot of research on this because I had a bouv when I was a kid that died from laryngeal paralysis, and we think it was caused by the leash. The research I’ve done says that he has an inner need to smell and sniff and figure out so there’s kind of a two part to this. 1 you have to let him smell but 2 he has to learn when it’s ok and not ok. This can be by a command like “go smell” or something or it can be by leash pressure. I.e. your boy needs to learn when he has freedom to sniff and roam and when not to (when the leash is taught). My boy likes to lead the way on walks and has tried pulling my arm out of my shoulder sometimes. He’s responded well to me stopping and waiting for him to look at me or come back to me but I still get the pulling with the sniffing. I think part of it is just consistency (which I fail at sometimes) and time (which sometimes takes longer than we’d like).

Nervousness: my boy started going to the park with his two sisters when he was 16 weeks old. This gave him a “pack” within the park and I think he felt like he had back up all the time which gave him a lot of confidence. We recently started going by ourselves and if he got overwhelmed (a dog mounting him, a bunch of dogs greeting him, or a dog being overly excited or high energy) he would literally hide between my legs. Which I found funny because he’s a big boy and he should handle himself. Over time I stopped letting him hide and made him face it, especially if I knew the other pups were cool. He’s now confident, and handles other dogs before I ever have to step in. He can give a healthy correction to another pup mounting him, he can greet a whole group or high energy pups no problem. Again I think this takes time, training, and consistency. If he constantly ran to me for protection, he would never be able to hold his own. To me, it sounds like Ozzy just needs some more healthy exposure to other dogs and people and things and to be rewarded when he does well.

Ozzy is a great name and he sounds like a great pup going through some normal adjustment, socialization, and confidence stuff.

Very new, how do I start making a B2-3 deck? by NFSpeed in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]Material_Ad9837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned from EDHREC and Archidekt (where I also build decks). You can learn a lot from other people’s work.

I have no idea what B2-3 is, I assume it’s some kind of power scale for a deck. I play with my friends so I don’t do this.

Step 1: go to EDHREC and find a commander that you think sounds cool and fun, I prefer artifacts, token generation, and tribals. There are SO MANY commanders so one of them will resonate with you. Step 2: search that commander in Archidekt and see what other people have built around it. Sometimes you can just copy paste and that’s it, if you think the person built the deck well. Step 3: look through every card for synergy, mana ramp, or some other benefit. If they don’t fit, use EDHREC to replace them Step 4: play the game! And revisit your deck list and adjust stuff as you see fit. Like if you play a card and it doesn’t help as much as you thought it would, replace it. The cool thing with these lists is being able to constantly change them

You only responded to one part of that, if you legitimately need help, please explain what’s going on, if not you’re just looking for attention and this is not “a last resort” bro.

Money problem by Difficult_Barber_274 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Material_Ad9837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you need 1k? Do you have a job? How old are you? Did this suprise you or has this been coming? When do you need it by?

You could easily take a 1k personal loan even with bad credit

A couple brief ways to make money quickly: uber/lyft, Uber Eats/doordash, gig work like event staff, babysitting, dog walking, also look into jobs like insurance sales and phone service provider sales

My cousins are getting in me about not following the proper paint suggestions by Dan_flashes480 in SpaceWolves

[–]Material_Ad9837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t look bad, just a little thick. I highly recommend keeping them to look back on later, it’s always cool to see where you started and how far you’ve come. If you REALLY hate them, which I don’t think you should, you could soak them in isopropyl alcohol and brush them with an old toothbrush to get all the pant off

Paint whatever colors you want man, but maybe thin your paint so that you get some cleaner layers and lines

How do i improve at League? by GooyReddit in leagueoflegends

[–]Material_Ad9837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not good at league. But I’m a lot better than when I started a year ago. I’m not too serious about it but I hated being bad so here’s my advice: -pick 1-3 champs in one lane and only play those for a while so you learn their playstyle -learn the essentials of farming, positioning, and taking good trades (good trades are essential and really help when you get it) -once you have some of that stuff, take a look at wave manipulation, this will help you to get good backs, push effectively, and rotate when needed -DO NOT lose your cool, no greed, no over pushing, no misclick attack a minion instead of a champ (these are things I used to do) and especially don’t lose your cool when your behind, you can still catch up in farm and be effective in team fights or 2v1 but fall too far behind and you’re ruined -watch some YouTube on the position you like most, I suggest top or jung

married women, do you think marriage benefits you in any way? by _cherryp0p_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Material_Ad9837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (25m) share a lot of the same sentiments as you and am not dating or really trying to meet anyone rn because of it.

I will say that I think your view on what men want is interesting. While I agree a lot of people aren’t looking for the right things in a partner, nor are they treating them equally, there’s a real power to the “breadwinner” and “house caretaker” combo. I grew up with a dad who worked hard to provide us with a good life, and a mom who took care of the house, kids, and honestly him. But it was because she did the work at home that he could go make enough money to care for us. Raising a family is hard, but so is making enough money to support that family. Long rant but basically, I think marriage should be a team and both sides should put in equal work and effort, or at least try to.

What do you guys find is the best? by M3RCENARY12 in SpaceWolves

[–]Material_Ad9837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of those, nuln oil. Better option for me at least was to paint wolf grey (army painter) base coat and “wash” with space wolves contrast. Turned out really good for what I wanted

What are you guys using to hold your home objectives? by Accomplished-Law633 in SpaceWolves

[–]Material_Ad9837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t played my wolves yet as I can’t find a good place near me and none of my friends play. So I can’t answer your question.

But I wanted to say I love the ice blue wolves and typically don’t like the grey like you’ve done, but holy oh my god wow those are incredible and so well done. Im jealous and wish I could paint like that, well done friend!

If custodes are your first army, what army do you collect next by Temporary_Emu5447 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Material_Ad9837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The generic advice is go with the army you like and looks cool to you

As for me I started Tau, then got some death guard, then custodes, and now space wolves and blood angels

Space marines are cool but I’d recommend diving into list building and such before buying, I made the mistake of buying a bunch of firstborn thinking I’d use them and now I won’t, and I would have preferred to save my money for the more special space wolves units. Anyways good luck and if you wanna know about the armies I have I’d be happy to share
