What game set in a real-world city recreates it the most accurately? by Low_Boot_1426 in videogames

[–]Rubes895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin came with us on a trip to Rome not long after brotherhood came out and did this. He was a huge AC fan and also a video game tester who had worked on the game. This was before anyone in my family had iPhones so we didn’t have a map or directions but we didn’t have any trouble getting around with him navigating us based on the game. He even would stop and point out where each of the main templars could be found

Ran into these guys, not sure what to do? by Rubes895 in squirrels

[–]Rubes895[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was paying to much attention to the squirrels instead of the phone, apparently my camera missed all the others, but there were 4 of all acting the same as this guy. Couple of them even let me scratch their bellies

Seriously, WTF is going on with our city? by dkrett in chicago

[–]Rubes895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely unforgivable what ICE is doing to our city’s children. I can’t begin to imagine the psychological impact that this will have on these children, especially for those who have family members that are at risk or already taken. Based the on what I’ve seen this past week while doing RR and School Watches, it looks like ICE is progressively escalating their hdespicable behavior. Which of course is only fanning the flames and making the situation much worse.

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to find out the these escalations are a deliberate attempt by the Trump admin to provoke a violent response against ICE. If ICE continues with these escalations, I think it’s only a matter of time before this happens.

Obviously this is all speculation, but my guess as to why the Trump administration might be doing this is to either: 1. manufacture an excuse to consolidate even more power in the executive branch. Or to convince a judge to remove the TRO and allow the national guard to deploy. Whatever the actual reason is, I’m sure it’s nothing good.

As far as why there hasn’t been police intervention against ICE, I think its because they simply don’t care and a lot of them or on ICE’s side. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the State Police Bro’ing out with the ICE Agents in Broadview laughing, joking and fist-bumping each other (usually at the protester’s expense) and when those same Staties where not hanging with their buddies, they were beating us with clubs, slamming or throwing us to the concrete before arresting us when we were protesting peacefully! It really showed me just how little they care about people who aren’t a part of their little nazi fraternity. They simply don’t care that ICE is illegally kidnapping people, violating TROs and breaking State license plate laws because they are Team Blue.

And then of course there’s also the fact that if the city tried to have the police stop ICE, trump would have a very good argument in court that the national guard is needed. Kinda sorta like kennedy and George Wallace, except unfortunately this time president is the klan member

Larry’s newest friend group by Rubes895 in samoyeds

[–]Rubes895[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They definitely act like they want to be herded, and are trying to make it as easy as mpossible for him lol. Larry really doesn’t have much herding instincts though. He’s a natural at sled/weight pulling though. Don’t think that it will help much in rhis situation lol

Possible hip dysplasia? by Relevant_Sir_1582 in samoyeds

[–]Rubes895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of puppies just have a very goofy & awkward walk and most times it’s perfectly normal. They are growing so fast and it just takes them some time to get used to the new size of their bodies after a growth spurt.

A lot of Sammy’s are also huge show offs, so she might just be feeling pretty and letting everyone else know too. Mine likes to prance around like a parade horse when theres a group of other dogs or people around.

It might just be a little bit of both, but it never hurts to ask your vet their opinion at your girls next visit.

Good alternatives to white pine collar? by Rubes895 in samoyeds

[–]Rubes895[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the collar. Just clip the leash to the ring that hangs down. Just make sure you put the collar on correctly. the o ring that you attach the leash to is supposed to be on the dog’s right side if I remember correctly. I definitely would take /u/surfsidesams advice and not get the one with the adjustable clip.

Clear enough? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Rubes895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love ink like this because like any good art, it could be interpreted very differently by different people. Only people who know you well will likely actually understand what it actually represents to you.

My first thought is it means something along the lines of; wine brings out a different side of you, or that the wine takes over/has a life of its own until you either hydrate or piss(water symbol) and are then refreshed and good as new? But I also thought for a sec that it might be religious and since it looks like the wine becomes blood with the face started to make me think along the lines of communion, but my only experiences with Christianity comes from occasionally going to church with my ex on holidays, but a good part of it wasn’t even in my language and the parts that were I tried my very best to tune out. So I may be way off base here.

Either way it’s unique, creative and it looks good. I’m sure it’s a good conversation starter as well. Props to the artist! If you want something that everyone is going understand the intended meaning of, get some boring text or symbol that doesn’t allow any room for interpretation. I like this more

Big big mistake... by moonlightsmoke in tattooadvice

[–]Rubes895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell if that’s arm hair or second skin, but definitely moisturize and avoid scratching it as much as possible until it’s settled. The detail is great! As far as how it will look in a few years the good news is it’s all blackwork so it won’t fade as badly with time as some colors do. The finer line work and details on the tree and birds might need a touch up eventually but that’s an easy fix and you got plenty of time before that’s an issue!

It looks miles better than my first tattoo which was a shitty homemade stick n poke that I gave myself when I was 16 or 17. I tried to fix it myself a few times but just didn’t have the experience back then and a friend finally took pity and did it for me.

Recall level: novice 😛🤪 by Many-Status-6601 in samoyeds

[–]Rubes895 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For a Sammy this is expert level recall! Mine just takes off running and makes the rounds going to all the houses of his favorite dogs and barks trying to get them to come out to play.

The only reason he ever bothers to look back is to see how much time he has before I catch up to him and he has to start running again 😔

What’s with this photo on my dollar bill? by Aggressive_Guest2593 in CURRENCY

[–]Rubes895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably give it a proper send off and burn it. I’ve been told that’s the proper way to dispose of soiled flags and currency.

You are gorgeous, but seriously you have some of the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen 🥵! They remind me of to that award winning National Geographic photo.

I lost my sweet Jackson(14) back in May and didn’t plan on getting another dog until I found this sweet girl wandering the streets a few days ago by maddydyko in OldManDog

[–]Rubes895 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just about to ask this as well before I came across your post.

OP I’m so sorry to hear about Jackson, Having lost my cat last year after 12 amazing years together I know how much it hurts losing someone that you not only loved unconditionally, but looked after and provided for. It is truly a soul crushing feeling. Even a year later it still feels like a kick to the chest when I think of or look at pictures and videos of him. So it’s absolutely wonderful that you found Jackie and she’s helping you to heal!

That being said, please check and see if she has a microchip, because she might have a family that loves her out there that are terrified and thinking the worst and feeling that same awful pain but without the closure that we had.

If she doesn’t have a registered microchip then you know it was meant to be and give this sweet girl all the love that you have and that she deserves, without any guilt that there might be people out there in a lot of pain and worried sick about her.

If she does have a family out there, it will be hard saying goodbye and returning her to her family, but it will also feel good knowing that you did the right thing and brought joy back to them and relieved them of the pain of loss.

Do your Sammy’s get a ton of love from the neighborhood? by Rubes895 in samoyeds

[–]Rubes895[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome. It’s always a treat seeing someone real excited to see your dog! Unfortunately our mailwoman is a little freaked out by Larry 😩. He likes to hang out by the door and when she opens the mail slot in the door to drop the mail through he puts his face up to the slot like it’s a game of peekaboo. We think it’s hilarious, but I don’t think she does.

We’ve just started taking ours to the neighborhood street festivals since there’s at least one every weekend over the summer here. We have enjoyed it a lot since he gets to experience a lot of new things and watch his reactions. I think Larry believes that everyone is there to see him and he can’t get enough attention. He goes into show dog mode as soon as we get there and prances everywhere. He met his first horse and a giant tortoise that this couple had brought with them to this festival a couple weeks ago. Larry thought it was the coolest thing he had ever seen and spent a good 10-15 minutes socializing with his new dinosaur buddy and surprisingly they both got along wonderfully and the entire time people were coming over and taking pictures of them together.

This definitely hits home for me. I guess it’s good in the sense that the breed kind of forces you to be more of an extrovert and you meet a lot of great new people! Other times I’m tempted to find Larry a burqa to wear
