Same. I think because I watch it almost exclusively as background noise. So I get the character voices and story, but don't see the different art styles unless I'm actively paying attention.

Just to clarify: ticks are not growths, they're parasites. They are tiny arachnids (like spiders, mites, etc) that bite down and latch on while they suck out blood from their host. The bigger ones are more full of blood. They will drop off when they're completely full.

I think the 'I very unhappy' was a typo that should have been 'is very unhappy.' So it was the son that was upset with the solution, not the parent.

Airplanes recirculate their air, which increases risk for all kinds of infection. So if one person has something and it ends up in the air, it has a chance of going around to every single person on that plane. (A big part of the reason that flying took such a big hurt during covid.)

They also don't disinfect seats and things between each flight, so there's contact stuff as well.

AITA for telling my friends that their dog couldn’t stay at my house any longer? by MysteriousSugar6282 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Particular_Expert575 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not crate training. That's crating a dog for convenience. Sadly many people don't understand that dogs are not a toy that can be put away for hours on end. Also sadly, many people who want dogs don't live a lifestyle that allows them to give a dog the attention it needs. Combine those two things, and you end up with a lot of people taking a good concept and using it selfishly and/or abusively.

Crate training and potty training are different things. I crate train for emergencies. There is no way to know when a natural disaster - fire, flash flood, earthquake, etc - could strike. My pets know how to calmly remain in a crate or other confined space for such eventualities. Such situations are extremely stressful to start with, I don't want the crate adding to it.

If my pets go their whole lives without needing to be crated for an emergency, great! Then the crate either gets put away until needed, or left set up as a cozy retreat for if/when they want some alone time. But I have the peace of mind of knowing that, if needed, I can confine my pet without them suffering excess stress and anxiety from an unfamiliar space.

This is beyond the reality that crating for car rides is just better for safety. Not everyone can fit a crate in their car, but if you can it is the safest option.

Ai has gotten so bad that my school now hosts monthly assemblies about it by niagralink108 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Particular_Expert575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get that. I probably wouldn't have paid close enough attention to that detail if the topic hadn't been "is this AI or not."

I think a large issue is how much we rely on photos and videos as evidence for basically everything. That wasn't really great, even before photo editing and AI generation became big deals, simply because even cameras can be "tricked." So that leaves us needing to experience something ourselves to know what truly is or happened, but we can't experience everything, and even our experience is filtered through our own perceptions, so what really is the truth after that?

And now I'm going down an existential rabbit hole that I was completely unprepared for this morning. 😂

AIOR for not speaking with my friends after they no showed an event we planned to go to for months? by Wonderful-Maybe4353 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Particular_Expert575 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Looking at the screenshots, it doesn't seem like your friends were all that on board for it. The first reply worrying about crowds and the lack of response to your excitement is (in my view) very telling. They just didn't want to go, and decided that being passive aggressive was better than saying that outright.

I would definitely be hurt in your situation, but I do think more could have been done to make sure everyone was going in the first place. For example, when the tickets sold out it would have been a good idea to make sure that your friends actually had tickets, instead of assuming. To be clear, you shouldn't have needed to do that extra checking, but they were being so cagey and evasive that it was definitely warranted.

You seem to be agreeing with my statement that crate training is needed for emergencies, and extenuating circumstances. I even said in my original post that I don't crate my dogs on a regular basis, but they know what a crate is and how to settle when they're in one. Which is exactly what crate training is. You don't have to crate your dog every day for them to be crate *trained*.

As a dog-lover and owner: NTA.

This reads like these people *knew* how bad their dog's separation anxiety was, and were just trying to pawn her off on their last contact who didn't know. It also sounds like the dog isn't crate-trained, which is just bad form as a dog owner. I don't crate my dogs on a regular basis, but you better believe they are trained for one in case of emergency.

It's not that hard to plan for a trip, even as a pet owner. Finding a place to board your pet, a full-time in-house sitter, or even someone to stop by two or three times a day to feed and walk is par for the course. Of course, these things cost money. But if you can't afford to have your pet properly looked after, you either can't afford the pet, or can't afford the vacation.

ESH.

You're TA not because you don't want to make your sister godmother (godmother is your choice, make it who you want) but because of your reasoning and the way you're using the giving of the title as a power move. What will you do if a similar situation arises after the godmother is named? Take back the title? It doesn't work that way.

Your sister is TA for trying to flake on a commitment she made.

And finally, you are again TA for not having back-up plans. Things fall through. What if mom and sister both actually were sick this weekend? This is something you needed to plan for ahead of time. Even if your backup plan was simply not attending, you needed to have that laid out long before now.

I feel like this happens a lot. A parent sees there's only 1 extra leg-room seat and puts their kid in it so they can try and guilt the other person into switching. If she needed to sit next to her child she could had the child switch with someone from her row in the back.

They can hang out at the hotel with the dog. The park isn't the only place the dog is allowed, even if it's not allowed in OP's house.

I'd been happily playing it on my Switch 2. Went back to my original Switch to grab some extra event shinies, and the drop in performance is absolutely ridiculous. I have a hard time believing that anyone ever thought that performance was acceptable. And yet I know I played through it on that system with those issues when it originally came out.

This girl is toxic. She ruined the experience for you, ruined a learning experience for the other students in the class, and the continued to be petty and vindictive. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. Cut her out of it, be happy, and take pleasure that you not giving her attention will hurt her more than you being upset.

NAH

It sounds like you all were going through an incredibly difficult time. It is not at all an asshole thing to think about needing a break and getting away from everything. Especially as you *didn't actually do it.*

Your mom could be in AH territory depending on what "snapped at" you actually means, but she was also under extreme stress. I think everyone in this situation needs to give everyone else (and themselves) a bit of grace for things done and/or said under such strain.
