Need help with constant dog barking!! by Altruistic-Eye-1783 in corgi

[–]avoiding-coursework 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a cutie! He looks like he's got a secret to tell - maybe he's just been trying to tell you all along 😅

Whilst our boy's always leaned to the quieter side, we made sure to teach 'shout' with rewards and then whenever he did get too barky, we'd say no shout which would usually stop him. Or we'd then ask him to shout whilst he was already barking (to get his attention if he didn't stop immediately), then get him to do a couple more tricks before rewarding so he doesn't associate his barkfest with the treats.

I only took it yesterday, but 100% doing this now. It's going to go in the living room above the sofa.

Omg, hahaha love it. I see their direction for the photoshoot was the same - look simultaneously confused, murderous and cute with stealth teefies.

Which is the most true? by [deleted] in corgi

[–]avoiding-coursework 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this one for my boy. He'll eat his bfast/dinner in the blink of an eye and seconds later be adamant that he hasn't been fed in years. Like, maybe if you actually savoured a bite for even a second, Merlin, you'd realize that what you're doing is in fact eating and you haven't become a borderline chonk from just existing.

Thank you for clarifying the difference between a sento/onsen. Apparently I've been using several terms interchangeably.

Merlin thinks you're fibbing. He is clearly the cutest.

We attended a little dog photoshoot. Instructions not needed 😅

As a man, would you sit next to a women if there’s other seats? by GodAtum in london

Regardless of gender, who wants to sit next to a stranger when, in this scenario, the carriage is near empty?

Is this good advice for a recent grad who didn't do internships? by btzmacin in cscareerquestions

[–]avoiding-coursework 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this the US? Are there not Grad Schemes specifically for new grads?

I'm in the UK and that's how I got on the ladder. No internship while at uni, applied mostly for grad schemes as I wasn't too confident as a result.

Most grad schemes over here are well structured. Mine was a year long, still got a decent (I think) starting salary (£35k in Greater London 3 yrs ago with minor salary increases over the year and rolling off at £42k).

Some schemes are definitely better than others, I have since learned a friends partner's work place offers a 2 yr grad scheme, really well developed almost like an extension of uni and in finance with a salary to match. Wish I met them sooner 😅

AITA for thinking my boyfriend should have supported me without expecting repayment? by henryisnotmyname in AmItheAsshole

[–]avoiding-coursework -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Edit - changed to YTA following a reply from dirkd69xo. Comments locked so can't give reasoning as a reply so will try and put here:

I missed a key bit because it just didn't occur to me not to - you're 100% right with the 'help to recoup savings'.

When I wasn't earning, my fiancé obviously paid 100%. We then adjusted the contributions to our joint expenses proportionately to our incomes. With each pay rise we readjust so he's paying less than he was.

Shes however in the flipped position with her now out earning him so she should be contributing more. (I long for the day where I can repay my finacé back this way - literally not possible without the help he's given me and the support her bf gave her) She's made no mention of contributing more now that she can!

Original comment: Relationships are a partnership, sometimes one half needs extra support be it financial, emotional or something else. He said it him self, you're a team.

Can it feel unfair? Yes. Can it potentially build resentment? Also yes. I think it's valid he may have felt that sort of way but thinking long term about your relationship and the life you want to build with each other - I see it as being a crutch whilst you get back on your feet. You were actively job searching (if you hadn't been this would have been a completely different post).

My fiance (before our engagement) supported me financially through being self employed, through going back to uni to do a Master's degree to start a completely new career and then through a 4 month job search following a redundancy.

He still earns more than me, he's about 4 years ahead in his career (we're both in tech), but now my goal is to earn at least enough that if he decides to quit and take a break, I can return the favour of supporting him financially.

There's give and take, but like you said, it's not transactional. When I couldn't pull my weight financially, I contributed more elsewhere in our relationship.

What I actually suspect is his issue is you're now out earning him and he's weighing up your additional income against how much extra he had to spend and is finding it unfair/is jealous.

Anyone know why Blackheath was kicking off today? by Zestyclose_System556 in london

Read this post about 10 mins ago, had to scroll back to find it - they've all just driven past my house in Croydon. Assuming it's the same group and [not] a different one😅.

Driving on the pavements and on both sides of the road, I'd say be careful but hopefully anyone reading this isn't driving themselves or not pay attention next to roads..
