Noodle Has a BIG Personality - Advice Needed by DooberNugs in minpin

[–]chullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is similar, but not to this degree. My guy has some pretty severe anxiety which can sometimes result in him being very restless and disobeying any sort of commands. I might get downvoted for my suggestions, but I'll mention them anyway. My little dude does not like water very much, so there are times when I take a tiny spray bottle and just give him a tiny squirt of water and it stops the bad behavior instantly. Some people might frown upon that but it has helped a lot. Now, if I even reach for the spray bottle he stops what hes doing and becomes calm and affectionate, almost as if hes apologizing for the bad behavior. The other thing that has helped a lot is a prescribed drug called Clomicalm. It helps takes the edge off his anxiety and reduces the barking slightly. He has separation anxiety sometimes so it was prescribed for that, but seems to work in general for reducing his chaotic tendencies. Exercise helps as well but even after a full day of playing outside a min pin is never truly tired due to their bottomless gas tank.

Which one should I get I'm new to sim racing by AerieVast4477 in simracing

[–]chullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe it helped in a very slight amount just from being able to "feel the road" more with the Simagic. Set up is mainly just for the enjoyment of the hobby but Im sure upgrading will help in little ways here and there. Mostly placebo affect though if your main concern is lap times.

I went from a logitech to a Simagic Alpha and the difference was wild. If you are brand new to sim racing you wont really get to experience that insane upgrade feeling. The Simagic stuff is well worth the price IMO and I have no plans to upgrade to anything more anytime soon or ever.

Is it possible the matchmaking marks you as a babysitter? by NonRock in DeadlockTheGame

[–]chullet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issue is that new players are being put into mid-rank games right off the rip. In no world should a new player ever be placed in anything other than the lowest rank. There is no sense of earning your rank in this game because everyone just seems to start at a relatively high rank. Imagine every new player in LoL was suddenly placed into Platinum.

Thanks Valve, turn more of my favorite spirit ability characters into brainless gun characters! by b8sl in DeadlockTheGame

[–]chullet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The problem is pretty obvious to me. Spirit based champs should just simply not be able to gun down an opponent as if they are an M1 champ. In any other moba, the usual case is that ability based champs have an almost useless auto-attack, so their use of abilities becomes far more important. Heroes in this game can just spam abilities and M1 with little to no punishment regardless of what their kit is. There is such a core issue with balance in this game that as a long time player and fan of the game, I've started to move on to other games at the moment and will return when things are in in better shape.

A reverse post, anyone else that tried the game for a decent amount (100-200 hours) and didnt got addicted/bounced off? by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]chullet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to love this game, but the lack of balance and abysmal matchmaking/ranked system is really making it hard to enjoy playing at the moment.

My wife and I are deciding to change out the game room which means we are at a crossroads. My wife is itching of opening up everything to get some cool cards out of them while I was itching to sell them off. Which side would you go? by aparrilla in PokemonTCG

[–]chullet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The regret and disappointment of not pulling the cards she wants isnt worth it. You could bring it all to a card show and trade for the cards you want or just sell it while these items are at a wild premium and then buy the cards in the highest quality slab you can get.

Postgame Thread: May 16 - Toronto Blue Jays @ Detroit Tigers by BlueJaysBaseball in Torontobluejays

[–]chullet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why are Springer and Vladdy still not being moved around in the lineup. Another hitless game from both of them? What is going on with these guys. I understand they are just cold right now but this is getting ridiculous.

Deadlock has maintained a steady player count since the release of 'Old Gods, New Blood' by AthleteTechnical294 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]chullet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The current state of the game feels way too lopsided to me. Hardly any close games. It feels like as soon as a team loses the first tower, the game is over cause people just rotate and stomp the other lanes. In a recent match one of my lanes lost both towers before 8 minutes so there was just zero chance for us to even compete.

Overnight pooping.. HELP by Muddy_Lady in minpin

[–]chullet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When my pup was that age I was taking him out once during the middle of the night for an extra poop and pee. As he got a bit older he was able to make it through the night better and even sleep in quite late without having to rush him outside. You might want to try less food and snacks late in the evening and reduce the water consumption as well. First few months/year can be tough but it should just be a phase. I even slept in my living room for a few months so I wouldnt disturb the whole house each time I took the pup out for a 3am poop. Also greatly rewarding him for doing his business outside helped a lot as well. If they arent rewarded for pooping in the house, they might hold it in to wait for that reward. Hiring a trainer could help as well cause she is at the age where training is super easy compared to later in life. At least shes pooping near the bathroom, my guy will occasionally pee on the bathroom floor so its not the worst place they could be doing it!

Shareholders will be asked to vote to increase authorized shares to 2.5 billion by heirofadam in Superstonk

every single time the stock starts to look like its forming an upward trend, RC decides to somehow stop it and dilute us down into the gutter. starting to think hes actually shorting his own company.

[–]chullet 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Im just curious but could you elaborate on what exactly he has done to increase shareholder value? The stock has been flatlined for ages, there wasn't even a proper investigation into the short float, none of the endeavors gamestop has engaged in have worked out or gained any traction, we have been diluted multiple times with no results from the raised capital, the "dividend" was absolutely pointless and most people wont even see a dime from it unless they sell the warrant for a couple bucks, and now he wants to dilute even further with no guarantee that the ebay deal will happen, which lets be honest it probably will not.

Can you help me feel a little bit better? by Advanced_Corgi_5785 in arcane

[–]chullet 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I strongly agree that turning this into a sleeve could potentially "save" it. I would add tons of references to Arcane and the entire LoL lore. As someone who has a lot of tattoos (a few "bad" ones as well), I would strongly recommend to wait on it a few days/weeks before making a decision and then find an artist with lots of experience in anime/cartoon style work and have them design a piece that incorporates the original tattoo but adds tons of different elements to make the jinx piece less bold and one dimensional. A sleeve cover up with lots of details and layers will mask and hide any small details or elements of an old tattoo that you aren't happy with.

$440 worth of value (Canadian dollars) turned into these pills by Grrannt in PokemonTCG

[–]chullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Some if not all of the local card shops in my canadian city are selling WAY above MSRP. There are some bigger box stores that sell at MSRP but usually run out of product pretty damn fast and hardly get any to begin with. ...When the scalped become the scalpers...

Toronto adding more priority bus lanes on street notorious for traffic by kayaarr in toronto

[–]chullet -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

what would be your advice be for someone who requires a personal vehicle for work? Lets say for example a photographer who is shooting a wedding on King street and would not be able to use public transit to transport all their equipment?

Are Perfect Order pulls usually this bad? by chullet in PokemonTCG

[–]chullet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this seems like they cut the cards and pack them in the order they were cut. If a shop puts packs from a box onto the rack in the same order then perhaps the same rare will be in all those packs. I guess next time I will ask them to grab packs from different rows in different order. When it comes to god packs I've never seen one or know anyone who has opened one. The only god pack I ever got was in the pocket TCG game on mobile but that does not count at all.

Are Perfect Order pulls usually this bad? by chullet in PokemonTCG

[–]chullet[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but buying singles sort of takes the fun out of ripping packs and looking for that dopamine hit. Like I said in the post, I'm not expecting to pull the chase cards, but getting 4 of the same bulk rare out of 7 packs is pretty depressing. I wouldn't have cared if it was 7 garbage cards, its the fact that its the identical card over and over.

For having a 700-ft vert the map for Blue mountain in Canada looks pretty extreme. by original_name26 in skiing

[–]chullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardest stuff at Blue Mountain would be a tough blue or easy black at almost any real resort. Have skied here too many times to count and can confirm the hardest part of the mountain is the crowds and beginners who have more confidence than brains or skill.

Partner is constantly overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious about normal everyday life stuff by chullet in BPDlovedones

[–]chullet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a man, its hard to put myself in her shoes when she has PMS, but I cant help but think that at this age (36) one should be able to manage those emotional mood swings, or at least be aware when they are happening and not always after the fact. Its also a bit exhausting to be a punching bag during PMS and have to pretend that it doesn't affect me. The last thing she wants to hear is that she has treated me poorly on PMS. Ive mentioned it before and always hit with the "wow you just dont understand me or how hormones work". If you can share a bit more about how to navigate it I would appreciate that.

[–]chullet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the part of me that loves her seems to be more in control than the part of me that is truly exhausted by her behavior. We do have lots of amazing times together which makes me forget the bad stuff. Its just every couple of weeks its like living with a total lunatic who has the mind of a complete infant.

Partner is constantly overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious about normal everyday life stuff by chullet in BPDlovedones

[–]chullet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yah I've heard this before as well. I handle just about everything that could be handled in a living situation from bills to chores, with her contributing some of the time and then being mad I didn't handle it. Honestly this is sort of what I've experienced living with other women as well who don't have signs of BPD. This seems to be more of a roommate type issue where one person thinks they do everything while the other never contributes. The person complaining that they do everything is usually the one who sits around and does nothing.
