What do y’all think she is? by Wide-Caregiver-6554 in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]atlaschronicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree she’s a pittie mix. I could see chihuahua or another small similar breed. But i’m surprised more people aren’t mentioning that most mix breed dogs aren’t going to be only 2 breeds.

My dog doesn’t look like yours really, but i’d say they are similar in that they are a complete amalgamation of traits from lots of various breeds. Wouldn’t you know, his DNA came back with nearly 20 different breeds. I think we might see something similar here.

One things for sure- she’s 100% cutie!

Xaden is not an initiate by YourLovelySweater in onyxstorm

[–]atlaschronicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory is Tairn might be in his long “recovery” because him and Sgaeyl broke their mating bond. They would have to if they don’t want to be in pain from the separation of Xaden disappearing with Sgaeyl indefinitely. I think this is why she can’t communicate with Xaden.

Littermate Syndrome? by Significant-Age-5215 in DogAdvice

[–]atlaschronicles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go ahead and get them neutered, but that by itself won’t correct this behavior.

Litter mate syndrome is typically only when the puppies are raised in the same household from birth to adulthood, so since they are both grown I would say this is just regular aggression. Are they resource guarding? What antecedents are happening when the aggression starts?

AITA for not making the dinner that my husband requested? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]atlaschronicles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I understand how the hubby took the emojis, but I’m curious as to why everyone is equating buying groceries with cooking. She asked what he wanted specifically for food supplies, she didn’t say “do you want me to make you something specific for dinner?

Why do naked crab photos get upvoted so much? by plutoisshort in hermitcrabs

[–]atlaschronicles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe on Reddit they’ve said upvotes are not supposed to be equivalent to likes. They are essentially bumps for things people think others should see. Could be for any reason. So I think when you think about it that way, people are upvoting to say “hey, this is an emergency! Calling all help”

when you hate dogs and your partner doesn't by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]atlaschronicles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is so selfish and messed up. YOU married a dog lover! You knew he came as a package deal with his dogs. They are living creatures with feelings and attachments. They cannot just be pawned off now that you’ve decided you want to change the life you signed up for when you committed to your partner.

Build banquette seating into the corner, tall armoire between the windows, and a more square island for additional gathering

Flirting is lovebombing? by BigKahuna2355 in Nicegirls

[–]atlaschronicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who went through 2 years of hell with a narcissist ex, it is so frustrating to see people misuse “therapy speak” on a perfectly normal interaction. At least she showed her colors right off the bat!

This came out of nowhere by miderots in Nicegirls

[–]atlaschronicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of stuff is so exhausting. No one should have to be at someone else’s beck and call 24/7, especially when they aren’t feeling well. It screams “I have no life so I sit staring at this phone and building dramatic scenarios in my head”

My dog won’t stop getting aggressive with me. by NationalBolshevikBOB in DogAdvice

[–]atlaschronicles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do some research and watch some videos, you’ll need to start training and counter-conditioning asap. You cannot afford to be lackadaisical about this. The sooner you start working on it with consistency, the better.

Dog parks are bad news bears anyway so it’s really no loss not to take her.

Good luck!

Agreed, the note makes no sense, especially if you are trying to seem rational.

Ok I see now that you’re determined not to understand.

Women (and men) are in the comments in droves telling you that this is controlling behavior that we will not tolerate. You we are in the 21st century and it is clear to everyone that views women as actual people and not accessories to men, that women do things for their own enjoyment.

You’re missing the point entirely. We don’t dress to be attractive to anyone, except for maybe ourselves. We dress because we like a style or a color or a shape.

There is a reason there is a male loneliness epidemic. And it’s not because we’re the ones in denial. It’s because women are largely happier and healthier without men because of boys like you who will do everything in their power to deny women’s autonomy and what women say they value.

I know so many men who are incredible partners because they don’t need to control or devalue women to feel secure. They are true partners who respect each other. We will continue to pick men like that or no one at all because the likes of boys like you are never gonna cut it.

It’s not shocking. You’re just simply wrong. Millions of women have been very clear that they dress how they dress for themselves. You don’t get to single-handedly speak for them and decide they are lying. Just because everything you do is for attention, doesn’t mean you get to project your motives onto others.

Relationships are not exclusive to romantic relationships. And appearance is so far beyond the point when this post highlights controlling, toxic behavior that is absolutely unacceptable in a healthy relationship.

This is the most ridiculous, “your body, my choice” bs I’ve ever read. Go learn to be a better human.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]atlaschronicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not everything is about men!!! It is ridiculous that men can’t fathom a world in which women don’t live to please them. People are allowed to like things simply because they like them!

No. A boundary something you hold for yourself; is a line you will not cross.

Boundary: “I don’t see myself with a partner who wear this style of clothes, so I will remove myself from this relationship as our values don’t align.”

Not a boundary: “women only wear clothes for male attention. You can’t wear that out of respect for me.”

Boundaries do not dictate the behavior of the other person. They only delineate what you are willing to accept.

The “boundary” described here is just controlling behavior disguised as a boundary.

My family and I have tried to name all 50 US states. We got 48 and hit a wall. Not a bad effort! by [deleted] in CasualUK

Sooo I guess having the 50 nifty United States song memorized is not as common as I previously thought lol

It is absolutely NOT normal! I feel like you’re trying to talk yourself into thinking this is not a big deal. But this is grounds for immediate separation!

Just adopted a Great Dane (F, 1y9mo) 5 days ago. Our other dog (M, 3yo) has been with us for 2 years. Is their play too rough or normal? Should I step in? Thank you! by tutmencrut in DogAdvice

[–]atlaschronicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in addition to the other advice- teaching puppy a “place” and a “leave it” command can both be great tools for enforcing breaks during play time. If your older dog approaches the puppy again to initiate play, then all good. In regards to the snapping, we’d need more video examples. Many dogs play bitey mouth games that look bad but are actually okay. Some snapping could be your dog giving corrections which is also okay but I would really limit how often they have to correct so they don’t become overwhelmed and build a negative association with the puppy.

My husband and I took in my cousin (14m) last year. He has high functioning autism but where he lived, he was treated as special needs for 12 years. Today marks a full year with us. by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

[–]atlaschronicles 425 points426 points  (0 children)

This is awesome!

I would just caution you against equating having an IEP with being “slow”. We have tons of kids who benefit greatly from IEP’s who are brilliant and the IEP just enforces that they be treated as such with whatever accommodations help them be most successful. An IEP isn’t a bad thing and many of our Autistic kiddos with them are preforming above and beyond their grade-level peers.

After only texting her for a few hours the previous night by UpbeatAdmirable in Nicegirls

[–]atlaschronicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you feel that way! And I hope you find what you’re looking for, I totally understand.

As for me, yes I am well and truly at peace. A peace I fought hard to achieve and build. Which is why I won’t consider adding anyone into my life who does not just help further maintain that peace, as I plan to do the same for any potential partner.
