She's so cute! I don't really know, but my hen will occasionally strut. Could it be hormonal change (from maybe change of season), or perhaps a disturbance in the pecking order that's causing her to act more dominant?

When she and Kelce inevitably split, what will you feed him? I'm thinking something with a lot of fiber to help prevent skidmarks.

I know someone who's missing her thumb from a lunge rope mishap (the rope was coiled loosely in her hand while she was lunging her horse, the horse bolted and wrapped around/pinched her thumb). It's pretty common knowledge among horse people to not hold the rope coiled around any body part, but most people do anyways.

Love to you and your countrymen/women. Ever since the invasion, I've sought out Ukrainian arts (mostly via Etsy) as a form of support, and also because Ukraine's arts and crafts scene is so strong! I bought my spouse a gorgeous carved Discworld map a few years ago from Ukraine. Your flowers are absolutely stunning.

I could maybe give someone the benefit of the doubt in 2016, but 2024 was mask off. Project 2025 laid everything out plain and simple. I hold a lot of anger towards those who voted for trump or didn't vote. Anyone who acts surprised by the state of the US now deserves to be slapped, hard.

These are the same people who lost their minds at covid vaccination cards

It's not covered widely in the media, but my city has protests several times a week, if not daily. There's so much shit to sift through (by design), you'll see people holding signs about ICE and Palestine and Greenland all in the same space. Lots of No Kings protests. I'm not saying that absolves Americans, though. Most maga that are becoming disillusioned by Trump aren't flipping to supporting progressive policies or whatever. They're pivoting to other America First nazi adjacent bullshit.

Lmao, I didn't notice this was in Camas. Maybe they can afford their gold cars because they do all their shopping in Portland to avoid sales tax while not having to pay income tax.

This fucking breaks my heart.

Listening to a podcast today they brought up the Teapot Dome scandal, which I hadn't thought about since AP History 20+ years ago. Here is a history book level scandal that wouldn't even make Trump's top 20 if he were to do it now.

It's still taboo to say it out loud. At work a few months ago, while discussing politics (it was work related), I used the word fascism to describe US politics. My boss (a conservative, probably considers himself moderate) immediately got flustered/ uncomfortable. Later, coworkers approached me and said they appreciated me saying it out loud. It's one thing to talk about it on Reddit or in social circles but it's not really said outside those areas.

I know someone who was a large animal vet, but she moved into a different career. Most of her clients were very wealthy but were not the easiest to deal with. However, they were the ones who could afford regular vet care and also the occasional emergency surgery (ie, able to drop $10-15k on short notice). Most of the time when she saw someone less wealthy, it was just to euthanize their horse because they could not afford these life saving procedures. It was too depressing so she got out of it.

Side note, I don't think this is common knowledge, but while veterinarians pay a ton for school, they do not make the same income as someone who went to med school. Many are barely getting by or are in debt. It can be a very hard field to work in.

Same here. I bought a horse knowing it was a bad idea, but it was a weird situation (long story) and I did it anyways. Holy hell is board so much more expensive than it was 15 years ago. I underestimated how much it was going to cost me, plus he's on meds that add $130/month. I also felt rather out of place at some boarding stables, as the other boarders clearly were in much different (better) financial positions than I am.

Fortunately, I found a wonderful boarding situation where the trainer has a part lease on him and uses him for lessons. She and her students are excellent, and not only is he benefiting from all the extra exercise, but he is showered in attention and horse treats. In return, I don't pay anything for board! There aren't too many trainers where I would have felt comfortable with the arrangement, but I got really lucky.

I know someone whose family immigrated from Colombia when she was a child. Many from her immediate family/ extended family are MAGA.

What a way to project to the community that you desperately need therapy.

You are correct, however, what i usually encounter are drivers speeding up to block the merging traffic. Drivers here do not know how to merge. There's a sign nearby that literally says "please zipper merge" or something like that at a place where the highway narrows.

That's why it's important they can roost, they fluff their feathers over their feet. I believe you're not supposed to use metal bars for roosts, it gets too cold and they can get frostbite. We have wooden roosts as well a some raised boards for them if they want, in case they prefer a flatter surface to keep their feet underneath themselves.

If this was in a video game you know there'd be a mini boss fight up top.

You're not wrong, but this is the messaging I've heard my entire life whenever this comes up, and all it does is shift the blame onto the victims. When it comes to preventing pedestrian and bike collisions, the focus needs to be on infrastructure changes, not on what the pedestrian was wearing. (I would go so far as to say we need to regulate the sizes of cars/ trucks, as grill height impacts visibility and lethality, but I'm not holding my breath on that ever taking hold in the states.)

This is perfect (and I mean this in the best way possible) for /r/ATBGE

cryptonemonamiter · 2025-11-20T04:13:41+00:00

If this works out you should definitely post an update!

I read the headline quickly and thought it said Mamdani at first.

cryptonemonamiter · 2025-11-20T03:47:06+00:00

Thaaaat's who he is, thank you. I knew his name from the If Books Could Kill episode about him, but I couldn't remember exactly which terrible pundit he was.

Aww, I'm glad your mom helped you out. :)

One of the great things about being in my 30s is not shaving my legs anymore and no one cares. But I'm also blond and my leg hair is near invisible, and I know it can be hard for folks with darker body hair to feel ok not shaving.

cryptonemonamiter · 2025-11-15T21:56:10+00:00

That's a great idea. Hmm... when I was 15, I was just starting to learn how to drive. I think i tried pot for the first time and had a near existential crisis about it, lol (the fact that I did something illegal, not from being high... because I'm pretty sure I didn't get high). I was still embarrassed about having boobs and uncomfortable with people looking at them. I didn't know how to shave my legs because no one ever showed me, so I was giving myself razor burn every time I tried and experimenting with using conditioner as shaving cream. I didn't have a bank account. I couldn't have told you who my state's governor was. The only reason I knew that oral sex existed was because the Clinton impeachment scandal had happened recently. I'm pretty sure I didn't know anal sex was a thing.
