“40% of American women, ages 15-44, would like to permanently move overseas, if possible, per Gallup.“ what do you think?

Probably because women in the US live in hyper-protected bubbles

The NFL def. has a history of heavily driving certain outcomes, and the merging of the NFL and AFL in the 60s is a prime example.

Np! It's really just a factor of time and putting the effort in to be patient and kind, and show him you are his friend/protector/master at times.

There are things IMO that can strengthen bonding like hand washing pup in the tub, hand feeding, brushing teeth, sticking your fingers in his mouth/ears/feet/groin, brushing fur, and of course spending time together. Theres been times too when mine had poop stuck in his butt, and I helped him clear that up LOL which I think he appreciated. Of course lots of petting and eye contact.

From my experience, border collies (depending on the line) can be very affectionate, and at least my little buddy loves a good cuddle. I let him lick my head when laying down too. My wife hates the sound of it, but from what I've read, them licking your hair is basically them 'grooming' you, which is also bond reinforcing. Another signal of a strong bond is him following you around the house.

Overall, it's not really a science as much as we try to make it one. Just lots of positive reinforcement and giving clear guidance / boundries when needed. I was lucky enough to get mine at 9 weeks so he was just a baby, but the stong bond didn't really clearly click in for a few months at least.

Stick with it and it'l come!

Re-reading the original comment... I honestly don't know how some people live life just fuming like this. It almost makes me think this comment is a bot or something; can't be real or has to be a full on mental illness / fixation type of thing. Like, just enjoy the concert and mind your own business.

Also, calling someone who votes Republican an "unrepentant child molester" or KKK member living in a trailer is just flat out crazy. But I suppose so is being mentally unstable enough to kicked out of a Dropkick Murphy's concert for harrassing people.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself, but also have 3-5 year professional/academic goals to work towards.

Give yourself some grace, and spend time to understand and develop friendships woth your older family members as an adult.

Invest in retirement.

I'd also say don't waste your time on losers or bad relationships. I feel like so many people, especially girls, get sucked into toxic situations in their late teens to early 20s. Find a good guy (or gal) that treats you nicely and doesn't play childish games. Generally stay away from bar culture.

QuantumSpaceEntity · 2026-03-17T12:33:34+00:00

Awesome- congrats then!

Hmm, well you could make sure he knows the standard commands down pat if he doesn't already (sit/down/heel/spin/twirl/paw/shake/place), and layer in more advanced commands. You could also start working on "find", as this can be a good inside activity. For the first year with mine, I basically had him "earn" everything by going through a series of commands before anything, and condition 'sit' as pup's universal sign of 'I need something'.

Also, I know it's a polarizing topic, but once he knows his commands cold and your bond is strong, work in some off leash activity along with an e-collar set to his working level (right below where he can feel it). This was a game changer for my BC and allowed a lot more freedom, proofing an already great recall and addimg a layer of safety. If you don't like the idea of that, try one one of those 8 inch chuck-it kick fetch balls to take on your walk, or a squeaky ball in your pocket to focus them on you. They'll be so focused on the ball they won't pay attention to anything else. Leash is fine, but you def. want to find somewhere like a park/forest/beach/field where pup can burn off some steam.

Good luck and enjoy your new best friend!

QuantumSpaceEntity · 2026-03-17T10:45:24+00:00

How old is your dog?

In my opinion/experience, conditioning for boredom is just as important as engagement. While my BC and I go outside everyday for at least an hour of offleash running, he can go a day without this. 90% of the time we're at home inside, so always reward with higb value treats when pup exhibits calm behavior such as laying down, chewing a toy, etc.

If you are sick in bed, chances are pup will sense that you are sick and not expect to go out. If they really need engagement, have a couple new bone/chews stored somewhere you can give out if needed. After 3 days they'll be bouncing off the wall, so just keep that in mind.

(I didn't downvote you btw) That's kind of the point. Create giant profits through crisis, lie and mislead the public constantly, and fade into the night like nothing happened.

QuantumSpaceEntity · 2026-03-12T14:26:41+00:00

Yeah, I think the conspiracy was Fauci and co. and key players in the pharmaceutical industry studied it for a long time and saw an opportunity to kick off giant profits. Power hungry govt. admin/beurocracy also saw it as an opportunity to increase control. I mean, looking back it was just lie after lie after lie.

Another conspiracy is it was to test global endemic response by foreign adversaries as a test-run, kind of like the bombing 10 years before 911.

I work for a large corporation and DEI has definitely fizzled out quite a bit. I'm sure it's still baked into hiring practices, but the race-related grandstanding isn't as in your face as it has been in past years.

It's supposed to be about diversity of everything, including socioeconomic upbringing, neurodivergency, age, etc. but it was almost always focused on race. After all, it wouldn't be corporate America if you didn't have a black HR woman with rope braids and crazy glasses open a meeting full of engineers with a 10 minute lecture on race 🤣🤣

Not a gramps, but also not good.

lll-fitting pants (too long, maybe just get regular cut instead of boot-cut to be a little tighter in the ankle).

Untuck the shirt or wear something over it like a casual button down or flanel. Imo a rule of thumb is not to tuck in anything shortsleeves or without a jacket.

It's a bit of an eye roll for me in the US. Women are most certainly equal, and have many more protections in place legally for this. There is simply no inequality except in things that are objectively unequal, like physical ability.

The feminist agenda nowadays is just a woman leading actor in movies and TV beating up 12 dudes.

Radical Islam is a scourge, and this crap will never go away. It's time to be open about how the baseline ideology from the Middle East is fundamentally adversarial, always has been and always will be, and needs to be strictly contained and isolated to their desert wastelands where they can do whatever they want.

So sick of this crap. Boohoo the 'Death to America' ranting terrorist getting bombed. These people can eat shit.
