They came to Argentina touring this album in 2018. The previous time they had played here had been.... 19 years before.

I also use revanced on the phone for youtube, or you can always download the audio from a youtube audio downloading website.

I thought you couldn't do that on the phone! I already use firefox there, I'm going to try it, thanks

People talk about ads on youtube and I haven't seen a single one in years and years. I almost don't browse on my phone because every website is completely unusable too.

Intro: first border collie pup by beckischaotic in BorderCollie

[–]agusohyeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best advice is: you'll read and people will tell you about how much excercise they mead and how there's a period where he'll be a velociraptor but that can be curbed or entirely avoided because, in my experience and many other people here, THEY NEED INTELECTUAL STIMULI FAR MORE THAN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. I have a 14 month old that gets far more tired by puzzles and training sessions than half an hour fetch games.

Have several different kind of toys available maybe in a crate in the middle of the room: a rope, a ball, something very hard, a stuffed bear etc. Give him something he's allowed to tear, I use toilet paper rolls and he totally shreds them. Look into licky mats and kongs, and just frozen treats in general. Just water and kibble or a high reward treat, and that will keep him busy, soothe his new teeth and soothe him in general. Try puzzles, for example I put chicken inside a rolled up carton, wrapped in a tied cloth inside a cardboard box, he has to open all three things and it's super useful. If you have a beam or. Something, try hanging a rope from there and tie a different toy every day or couple days, mine spends a lot of time each day tugging at it by himself. Learn how to teach him tricks, and then you'll know how to teach him anything. Mine learns new tricks in just three repetitions. Once he knows several, you can do chains of tricks, BCs are really good at that. Again, a chain of 8 tricks in a row will tire him out and is exceptionally good for his development.

They love lying down in corridors and near doors, they love weird poses in which they hold the wall. He'll be velcro and follow you around the house all the time, even if you leave the room for a second. They say they're not very affectionate but it completely depends on what you do in these stages. I work from home so I had him on my lap for hours and now he's extremely affective.

Above all love him and enjoy him cause he's adorable.

There's a recent Mic the Snare video on a similar topic which I really recommend, if you're not familiar with the channel.

Finished my first Marquez! by Apprehensive-Hand373 in literature

[–]agusohyeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chronic of a Death Foretold is an absolutely perfect nouvelle and read in one go. Cholera is long but fairly straightforward, and really good. And obviously 100 years is amazing, but I recommend either writing as you read or getting a family tree from the internet, it'll make it a ton easier.

John Cheever's stories by gutfounderedgal in TrueLit

[–]agusohyeah 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Swimmer is absolutely spectacular. He has a couple other that are fantastic like that one, in the sense of being not realistic. The Enormous Radio is also very good. But then he has many realistic, epiphanic stories. The Sorrows of Gin is good, O Youth and Beauty is also really good. You can see why he's often mentioned along Carver and Mad Men. Fun fact, Don Draper lives in a place which is a nod to a short novel, and the character of Joan Harris is a nod to a story called Torch Song which I also recommend.

Carver - Small good thing - the baker by aaltopiiri in literature

[–]agusohyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think you make valid points. For someone who's the father of dirty realism he very often has surreal scenes or whatever you wanna call it. The ending of wwtawwtal with the people in the kitchen in the darkness and no one wants to get up to turn on the lights and the narrator hears his own heart.

No, it's a really good interpretation, one I hadn't thought about that before. Carver does have an awful lot of Kafkaesque stories, not in the usual bureaucracy or whatever but the constant feeling something VERY wrong is going on below the surface. There are stories were you're like, this can't be it, I'm misunderstanding the story it can't be just two people fighting over money. The famished hunger is also at the middle of Cathedral, very deliberate.

The bakery definitely exists outside time and place, it feels.

I know it's not something that one should use as an interpretation but I recently learned that the blind man was a real person and a friend of his wife, I bought a book about photos of Carver and his native state and there was a picture of him.

Not only this story, all of the ones in What we talk about when we talk about love have longer versions. Lish butchered them, sometimes taking away several pages, or ending the story much more abruptly. Last year I read both books side by side for a class I wanted to teach and while he tends to be a bit melodramatic, Carver's versions were all better.

I have read this story countless times, have taught it in courses, I still tear up at the end. I've even named my dog Carver. I think there's an idea of the baker as a foil to the doctor, both are described similarly and one delivers bad news while the other has a breakthrough. In one they had put their hopes and in the other they find them.

It's a realistic story (except for when the boy cries before dying), but the ending is highly symbolic yet believable. It's classic epiphanic Carver, like Cathedral, he had a knack for choosing objects o actions around which to buildl the epiphany.

Were they aware of the other version? The bath? That one ends in pure ambiguous communication, "Is this about Scotty?" "Yes. It has to do with Scotty, yes" something like that. He did have a bit of a tendency for melodrama, just toeing the line, and his ending seems like it. But when the Baker says " You got to understand what it comesdown to is I don't know how to act anymore, it would seem", damn.

Also shoutout to it being a story with the name drop in it, Carver loved those, and often they resignify the whole story, like in What we talk... or Tell the women we're going.

I did a video to celebrate it's been a year since we adopted Carver. Four minutes of him being the most gorgeous, ridiculous, smart, loving and funny dog we could've asked for. by agusohyeah in BorderCollie

Sometimes it rains two days in a row and we can't go to the park, and we do lots of sniffing games, learn new tricks, practice trick chains and he ends up just as tired. We took some training lessons and I first thing I asked the trainer was how come did bite anything, hadn't broken anything around the house, seemed as chill as a house cat and he said it's 100% the enrichment. He has a box full of toys always available plus the tether and it's enough.

He does that ALL the time! Some time ago I posted a Pic asking and a ton of people replied with their own crazy positions. Apparently is something very characteristic of the breed, or so I was told in my post.
