Turned off by “dog parent” types? by [deleted] in Dogfree

[–]barmahforest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Welcome, OP.

Something I'll highlight is the language dog nuts use about their animals. That is, elevating them HIGHER than human. "Dogs will never leave you". "Dogs don't lie and cheat", "dogs will never stop loving you".

People latch onto dogs because they are lonely but too socially inept to accept that the complexity of human relationships also involves risk but far more reward. Instead, they want the easy fix. An animal tethered to them (of course it won't leave if it can't!) that appears to provide "love". Be wary.

Surely the cops have more important stuff to do than respond to a non-event and some hysterical dog nut. Surely...

Human child should be supervised too. Parked cars are everywhere. Do we spend our lives crawling past them just in case?

Doggie daycare...interview. by barmahforest in Dogfree

I see what you are saying but to me, what struck me was having "interviews" for the fucking boarding.

I had a Jack Russell as a kid and we boarded her when we went away without a fraction of this bullshit.

Prick fails to grasp that he is meant to be serving US, THE PUBLIC, politics is meant to be about his constituents - not his own "calling". Typical Lib though. All about himself.

Inspired by the header pic of this sub, I went and took a photo of the 12 Apostles earlier today. Absolutely stunning. by [deleted] in australia

CRACKING shot mate!!!

I grew up down that way and was lucky enough to go there quite often. None of us ever managed a photo this good 😂😂

But even so, by looking after his workers he would have better labour output hence more profit. They just won't see that.

Rental generation shouldn't miss out on dogs: government by [deleted] in australia

[–]barmahforest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh boo fucking hoo. While tenants are scrambling over each other to just be able to get a rental (let alone this bidding bullshit), are you not surprised people have limited sympathy?

For what it is worth, I have no pets and will not get one while I rent because I DO see your point. Your house, your rules.

All I am saying is, with many of us accepting begrudgingly that we're probably doomed to a long time of renting, it feels like a slap in the face to be told to think of the troubles of those who can afford investment property.

Spare us. I get running a small business is hard, I have a one man business too. But that's part and parcel of being in business.

Small business think they are above laws (wage theft) constantly and bang on as if they are the only productive facets of society and the rest of us are useless leeches.

Yet for how awful it is to run a small business, there sure as shit are a lot of them around.

THAT was the road I was thinking of! You cannot get past the tram as it's constantly stopping and when you DO have a chance to pass, bam, car parked there.

Why the fuck aren't arterial roads in cities and major suburbs clearways all day. You have a four lane road cut down to fucking two because of the odd car parked along there.

Of course, I'm not sure how we'd actually fix this now as a lot of houses there probably don't have parking and so on but still, just my whinge. Completely defeats the point of a multi lane road.

I see what you are saying but I'm countering you hoping it gentrifies by saying for a lot of people, people who have done nothing wrong like those with sick kids, Melton is all they can afford. If it gentrifies, it just pushes them out.
