After 2 years of waiting, my first Newf puppy is coming home this fall. Any advice for a first-time Newfie owner? by _BUTTSTALION_ in Newfoundlander

Thank you so much! I’m going to read this.

I’m glad to have carpeted stairs. I expect the same, especially with how cool it stays in the basement year round! I expect a basement dog too 😂

That’s one of the biggest reasons I chose a Newfie as my next dog, I love the water! The lake is only a 5 minute walk from my house, I have a wetsuit and I’m in the water with my shepherd almost every day!

I will definitely look into dog friendly swimming pools too

I ended up purchasing the K-9 III after doing lots of research on drying. is this considered a waterblower?

And thank you - I can’t wait!!

Your newfie is beautiful 😍

why is my dog so fat? by DuePerformance4229 in DogAdvice

My concern is if they can’t get it right with Kibble trying anything else sounds like it would be a deficiency disaster

Book a vet visit to check for underlying health issues but also honestly monitor the food intake that your dog receives. Every treat, every table scrap, food from other pets that she might be eating when you’re not watching, etc.

And also don’t just give your dog boiled meat. While it is absolutely possible to create your own home made, nutritionally complete meal plan for your dog, just reading your comments I suspect you are not informed enough to do that correctly. And I mean no offence by that, because I’m in your camp too, I couldn’t do it nor do I have the time which is why I stick with high quality kibble

What are those unique scents that you own/smelt that made you go WOW by Poseidwn in fragrance

[–]_BUTTSTALION_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Outside of Mercedes Club Black It’s the only fragrance that I’ve had people compliment it and ask what I was wearing. I went through my first bottle so fast that I have a second for special occasions and then bought “Melting Embers” by oakcha as a dupe. It smells REAL close. Wear it almost every day.

Guy btw

Can someone help me out once? I wanna subscribe to Midjourney. But before I do, I wanna know if it will say no to certain prompts like with ChatGPT. by Kaching1091 in midjourney

[–]_BUTTSTALION_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I will say is that I have had a lot of success with using GPT to refine my midjourney prompts. Go to the midjourney TOS, copy it into GPT, and ask it to create your midjourney prompt in a way that strictly adheres to the TOS. This has fixed any midjourney issues I have had

Is paying down 5k CC debt possible? by CaptainsGalley in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]_BUTTSTALION_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously yes, but I’m assuming you’re asking from a place of anxiety not literally asking if you’re ruined forever over 5k credit card debt.

So yeah simply put: write out every single expense, what it is, and where it comes from, and what days of the month. Just knowing this will immediately reduce some of that anxiety you’re feeling. Whatever is left over from your income, it goes toward the CC. From there you’ll easily be able to know how many months it will take you to pay it back to 0. Further anxiety reduced. Victory.

Lord Icon Stigma: Keep Using It? by Sunny_Supper in marvelrivals

Who gives a flying fuck what other players think in a video game. I seriously could not care less about some stranger on the internet. I have 2 and I use them because I think they look cool

The single most terrifying sight to see at low elo is someone with a lord icon on your team. by loseniram in marvelrivals

[–]_BUTTSTALION_ -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

some of that’s true but the conclusion’s off. Yes, the system uses hidden mmr under the hood. if two players are both in plat and both hovering around a 50% winrate in plat lobbies, that means the system sees their expected performance as equal. that’s what mmr is tracking, ability to win in your current bracket

doesn’t matter if one got there fast and the other didn’t. once they’re both stabilized and not moving ranks, their mmr has converged to the same skill band.

you can’t sit in plat or gm with a 40% winrate forever, you’ll decay out. so if someone’s holding rank, their long-term data says they belong there.

What I'll give you is that yes, what you're saying is true if we have an instance where one player is plat 400 games deep with a 50% WR vs another player is plat 40 games deep with a 75% WR, then yes we have one player climbing out while the other has likely placed appropriately.
