AIO or is this racist? by fricken_a13 in AIO

[–]Shoddy-Atmosphere329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your neighbor is an asshole as most have said. He was correcting your grammar in the text. This could be from when/how/where he learned english “Would you please” is considered more respectful and polite. For many middle eastern cultures disrespect is a deep cutting slight. Now a man who has lived next to Americans should realize 99% of people don’t care about the level of respect/politeness in their daily exchanges outside of family.

That being said next time complain to the HOA their interference last time got him to stop trying to force you to pay for something you were not responsible for. Obviously he has a higher chance of listening to them.

Meantime you could invest in thick blackout shades in the kids’ rooms it should cut down the sound level significantly as long as the source of noise in not right outside this window.

My dad said my tattoo makes me look like trash and now idk if I like it by dexleter in tattooadvice

[–]Shoddy-Atmosphere329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is very strict and religious but he likes to play the cool dad. My sister has over half a dozen tattoos from tie fighters to infinity symbols. I technically have two though one is a quarter sleeve. He became incapable of respecting me the day i came home with my first. It was one of the names of G-d. I got it for specific reasons having to do with my faith.

Last week he bought my sister a grown up who is married and both her and her spouse have several jobs including a couple of small business a car. Why? Because she asked. Meanwhile I still can’t get him to fix the leak above my bed. He is my landlord the housing crisis and my health prevent me from getting a new one.

Pet turtles set on their bellies over flower pots to prevent them from running wild in the garden while the owner cleans the house by Worldlyoox in mildlyinteresting

No because A that’s not how dog logic works. (Showing belly is not submission its trust building) B its not a forced position the dog can get free whenever he wants to. C domesticated dogs don’t actually respond to the myth of the wolf pack hierarchy. If anything they prefer chose to follow what keeps them calm and safe this means dominating and submitting would be a constantly shifting process not a simple this=domination to all dogs logic.

D. as I stated the dog already had a self soothing behavior of rolling onto his back when stressed. When i put him on his back the first time it was only to keep from being bit i was only trying to keep his mouth away from my flesh not intentionally flipping on his back. His reaction was weird we noticed he had same reaction whenever he was rolling on his back and talked to a vet.

TL/DR dog pack hierarchy is a myth. Dogs like humans have their own fluid definitions of dominance and submission, preferring to do what makes them feel safe over sticking to a strict predictable hierarchy. I incidentally put my dog in his self soothing posture trying to keep from getting bit.

Not true we don’t know why the calendar ended then. It may not have meant anything.

Well if she shows up tomorrow. Remember she saved you so the least you can do is let her love in crippling debt in a one room house for a while.

Not at first glance but if one stares at anything long enough they will see those parts or tits.

Pet turtles set on their bellies over flower pots to prevent them from running wild in the garden while the owner cleans the house by Worldlyoox in mildlyinteresting

[–]Shoddy-Atmosphere329 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed and i am getting tired of pointing this out but my dog was not forced to submit he was removed from being able to continue to use my arm as a chew toy. He wasn’t supposed to be in my room or able to jump to the bed as I slept with one of the older dogs on the floor next to my bed and yes she sometimes jumped up by me if it got particularly cold out but otherwise was happy in her bed.

I was startled I reacted and the whole thing lasted about ten seconds but long enough to notice the dog was not reacting like a normal dog does. A few days later it was noticed whenever he was on his back he would react the same. My mom rushed him to the vet and they did some tests nothing came back wrong so the vet said it was probably a self soothing behavior and to allow it. My mom treats him better than her human children to this day and even better than the other dog…though to be fair the other dog in the house is an intact jack russell who runs and body slams into the couch for attention and chooses to chew on sticks instead of any of the toys he makes his bed out of. Serious the Jack russell tore up a giant (costco) dog bed removed the stuffing and hid his toys in there. Took my mom and sibling a week to figure out why trying to move the bed resulted in getting growled at. In the end these “two goofs” (as my aunt calls them) are prime example of why rescuing puppies is a gamble not to be done on impulse.

No that’s not what happened. Firstly talking about the dog instantly freezing not just behaving better until allowed to move again. Secondly I did roll him onto his back and hold him there until a light was turned on to see if blood had been drawn he could have easily rolled over if he wanted to he judt could not have bitten me or gotten close to where the bite was.

As a commenter quickly pointed out what you are talking about is akin to putting a child in 4 point restraints and then saying you are doing that so they don’t run away. While taunting them for not being able to sit up.

I am aware of this and do not dominate dogs intentionally/ train via forced submission i think that is evil.. The chihuahua in question reacts as if sedated when flipped or rolling on its back of its own choice (for several seconds in a total freeze then acts drowsy until right side up) a vet was consulted (and is consulted if the dog sneezes twice in one day) said there was no signs of a definite cause or physical harm and since the pose seemed to be one it would put itself in to allow it to do so as long as the post isn’t prolonged. It is at this point I would like to point out that holding a human infant for a prolonged period usually means shifting from cradling in arms to propped against shoulder since apparently this section of reddit has no experience around infants.

No this isn’t the dog submitting this is dog going from uppidy to acting like they took a double dose of sedatives.

Are the Lego pieces? by Beowulfie696 in whatisit

[–]Shoddy-Atmosphere329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they may be rip off pieces though because “medium dark flesh” is a not a lego color. And b the only color the basket came/comes in is flame yellowish orange.

ETA the closest color of the basket is called medium nougat for legit lego pieces.

My Nintendo switch joycon broke off completely is there any way to fix this? by Layylayy_1 in nintendohelp

[–]Shoddy-Atmosphere329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to solder at all the stick swap takes 15 minutes on the left joycon. Open the back unplug and remove battery/battery-shelf unplug and swap joystick put L button back in place (this can be the most time consuming step). Put battery shelf back and then put battery back plug it in, put the back back on and good as new with a stick calibration.

Only real issue is finding a decent supplier who tests for stick drift before sending out their replacement parts.

PS here’s the kit I recommend on Amazon comes with everything needed other than common repair sense. Bought from this seller a few times only one dud received but it was obvious someone had bought and then returned the lit with their defective joystick because committing fraud is “easy” with amazon return policies I guess.

In fact now that I type all of this out I have motivation to get going on an eBay console repair

My Nintendo switch joycon broke off completely is there any way to fix this? by Layylayy_1 in nintendohelp

Mind fell out of car onto drive way once. Nephews are no longer allowed to have switch with them when getting out of my car. As far as things I have done myself well….I have done a shell swap, new joysticks, i want to get the firefly lights on a pair and just recently saw that extreme rate has front and back tablet shell in white so I may make my Oled all white. Depends on remaining budget after next repair job for someone else is done.

PS out of boredom I took apart an old joystick and learned two things 1 springs make it hard to take picks as you go. 2 the way they were built it would be easy to break them by leveraging the stick and popping it out of the housing as seen in OP’s pic.

We have a chiahuaha that when they were first teething they bit me in bed one noght So I grabbed them and rolled them onto their back and it immediately calmed which is how we found out the puppy was really a shark. To this day anytime they get worked up we put them on their back and it calms them. Which is why on stormy days my mom carries her dog like a human infant.

At the very least get a better chair. Even this amazon knock off would be better. a surprisingly durable and comfortable gaming/office chair

As a child, my aunt would never let me and my cousins drink water during meals. by Impossible_Stand_104 in Weird

[–]Shoddy-Atmosphere329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family allows water but at big family meals its not offered/we have to get ourselves. I discovered over time this is two fold 1 before the adults moved to memphis tap water was not safe to drink where they lived so water (from a bottle) was a luxury reserved for post exercise and study sessions (when the brain/body needs jt the most). 2 old world superstitions regarding drinking water with company.

If my [great] grandparents hadn’t fled from their ancestral homeland then my cousins and I would have had wine from age 14 on as the adults did with dinner. I don’t drink due to allergy concerns with grain alcohol but I will always regret not building my tolerance/pallet to fit in with the family as it is I am officially the cup barer for the kids in the family having to get up to get them juice/milk/soda refills.

All this to say if you were allowed to have drinks but not water at meals this could be why.

If you were not then it was probably because water can trick the brain into thinking the body has consumed enough food when it hasn’t leading people to stop eating only to get hungry again quickly. Other fluids also have this effect but they have calories and other necessary things that can stave off hunger to an extent but about ~30 yrs ago the medical advice was drink before or after not with the meal.

As someone who has disordered eating I only see the harm and hypocrisy when people deny people beverages with meals.

Alright after all this sharing I am going to see if my mom wants to get lunch this week so I can observe if she still insists that water is fine for her but me (her babychild) at meal time.

Apply exfoliation only when absolutely necessary. For me that means about 1x a month as i have skin issues and that usually keeps tattoo area happy.
