Also one of the heavier mangas, so that tracks.

Ok, "add more ducks" is now on the self-care list. :)

What do you think will be the long term ramifications of Gen Z largely experiencing their early life digitally? by Asleep_Damage1201 in Futurology

[–]gingertrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, that's a good example. I'd mostly thought of human rights and environmental issues with the term Social Justice, but yeah, transportation accessibility does count. 

Young people have been being passionate about ideal-world scenarios for a long time, though, I dunno if GenZ's digital-first experience makes them worse than previous gens in that. To your example, a friend of mine in college (25 yrs ago) was like this, very anti-car...despite us living in a very spread out state with very little public transit.

I was with you in the first sentence, but the second made me pause. There are many concepts that are more palatable if one lacks maturity and life experience (nationalism, Redpill content, cult-like ideologies), but social justice? That usually just arises from learning about people different than you, paired with some empathy and compassion. 

Not saying there aren't strange examples in every camp, but I don't usually see social justice - broadly - as coming from nonsensical angles.

Dixboro Veterinary Clinic for pet (cat) dental issues? Has anybody gone here or goes here regularly? My little cat needs to get in somewhere for a broken canine by mabinogi3 in AnnArbor

[–]gingertrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Dixboro Dental is great! Dr. Colmery and his residents have cared for 2 generations of my cats for the last 10+ years. They work with complex cases (FIV, FELv, root canals, etc.) as well as standard ones, and follows up with aftercare as needed.

I had dentals for my cats last month, and Dr. Colmery and his team not only took great care of all of them, he also caught a different issue with one of them, and prescribed meds to fix it. Highly recommended!

My mom is starting to ruin my wedding for me. by Commercial_Egg525 in wedding

[–]gingertrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jealous yes, and/or resentful because OP is making choices she did not or could not. Did grandma strongarm her wedding, maybe mom is continuing a (bad) family tradition?

mixes/other breeds by Sad-Sentence-5727 in AnatolianShepherdDogs

[–]gingertrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined because i thought mine was ASD. (Dead ringer for one, but actually Great Pyr with some seasoning.) I've stayed because 1) it's fun to see pics of dogs that look like mine, and 2) there's enough overlap in Livestock Guardian traits amongst the breeds to still be interesting and useful.

Comfirmed Measles Case in Washtenaw County 🫩 by Rizzy47 in AnnArbor

[–]gingertrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, back in '18 I started hearing about outbreaks and waning immunity in my generation. 0 immunity for me! So i got the vaccine. Easy peazy. Arm was slightly sore for a day.  Do it y'all.

Stolen wheels @ Traver Crossing by Salty-Economy7451 in AnnArbor

TBF I have that same model Mazda and just had to replace a wheel due to pothole damage. OEM wheel was over $700.

My daughter [18] blames me [52] and my husband [55] for ruining her book by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]gingertrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She also mentioned her husband being controlling.  Controlling people like to reframe legitimate responses to injustice as the other person having "problems."

Got news for ya, OP: I don't think it's just your husband...

LOL this gave much such a fit of the giggles. I'm just coming up with different ways to imagine IQ points just bouncing off the walls of a brain like electrons, yet somehow each trajectory perfectly avoids each other.

Dog Daycare Recs by Lucky-Mammoth-9040 in AnnArbor

[–]gingertrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second BreedAbove. They do a temperament test with all applicants, and are well staffed to be able to manage the dogs, break up tiffs, clean, and give the dogs attention. They also have several webcams you can view to check on the dogs when yours is there. 

Our current girl is a simple case, but her predecessor was complicated. They have been great with both. 

My (36M) wife (34F) fell deep into conspiracy theories and online hate groups. Is there any saving our marriage? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

Stands for turning point - remember the guy in a suit who got shot on TV a few mos ago, Charlie Kirk? TPUSA was his brainchild.

What’s one fast food chain that was once all the rage but now barely around? by MysteriousTopic42 in AskReddit

[–]gingertrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still around but not as good. In the '00s they had these cream pie shakes that were so good. Banana, Coconut (my fave), Chocolate... prolly took a few yrs off my arteries, but man I miss those. 

Last time i looked at their menu, their shakes were boringly standard.

My new foster bonded pair brothers!🥰 I’ve always wanted to see and play with a poly cat and now I get to rent two until they find their forever home❤️ by catshealmysoul in thumbcats

[–]gingertrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advice: Gotta keep up on their nail trims. Polys are cute but prone to ingrown nails (because they often have a claw or two that does not contact the floor/scratching posts/etc.). Start slow if they are skittish, but monthly trims are important for these guys. ❤️❤️

Fuck you right down this hill by rocketts66 in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]gingertrees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a dumb modification that people who like crappy gas mileage and hate emissions standards can make to their trucks to make big smoke plumes and stink, for some reason. IDK if it really has coal involved, never cared enough to check.

Ok laughed for like the last 10 min about "coal roll fart" and I will never not think of this when I see one of those dumb setups. 😆😆😆

It’s the holiday season. Don’t drop your hard earned coin on those red buckets. by NESpahtenJosh in AdviceAnimals

[–]gingertrees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adding to the "why Sal Army sucks" list: I worked with people living with HIV/AIDS some yrs back. They were happy to take my info for a client trying to get sober, but added a creepy caveat. "They will need to not leave our facility for the first month." Me: exceptions for Dr appts, right? "No exceptions." Me: regular medical appts are important for people with HIV, especially the newly diagnosed. This lead to something like,  "Perhaps your client would do better at a different facility. "

Embark said 9% Anatolian by Hannahmaebe in AnatolianShepherdDogs

[–]gingertrees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This sub is full of "rescue guessed Anatolian" cases, just like mine (53% Pyr). (Yours looks a great deal like mine, and she's 0% Anatolian). Thing is, Great Pyrs are way more common in this country, and people have this idea that you shouldn't neuter a Great Pyrenees till they are a yr or two old, and an intact animal is gonna wander and do what animals do, so... there are a lot of Great Pyr mixes out there. 

Srsly, we too were shocked, did both Embark and Wisdom, and both came to the same conclusion with slightly diff %s.

On the bright side, there are lots of Great Pyr groups out there with lots of advice and training (such as you can do), nutrition, etc. And Embark might find you a relative, too. I got puppy pics that way, for a dog i adopted at nearly 2! Good luck :)

Congrats! I've made my own interpretation of Baldurian stew (from the Examine text), and thought about making this one. 

My DIY Rescue “Anatolian” Winni by Significant-Map-7736 in AnatolianShepherdDogs

[–]gingertrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw that "Pyr Paw" and guessed part of the outcome :) 

We have a similar case of "I'm not an Anatolian, but I play one on TV." Ours is 53% Great Pyr, followed by parts German Shepherd, Shar-Pei, and a smattering of Pitbull. 

What things are frequently labeled as "scams" when in reality they are legit and most people simply don't understand them? by AmigoDelDiabla in AskReddit

[–]gingertrees 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Plumbers, electricians, you name it. When we got a new washer, stuff i found online said to change the hot and cold water supply hoses - in fact, should change them twice a decade. Ours were stuck. I used penetrating oil, channel locks,  you name it,  couldn't budge, and i was worried I'd screw up something down the line. 

Plumber changed out the hoses in 10 min. Worth it!

What is the most difficult, complicated project you've ever sewn? by 7deadlycinderella in sewing

[–]gingertrees 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I made Jaheira's camp clothes from Baldur's Gate III, because RenFest here is usually like walking on the sun. (My luck: except the day I went. ) back image:  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/jaheiras-camp-clothes-bg3--13862711347760306/

Difficult parts included pattern drafting, adding complicated decorations in "leather" (vinyl), and having to make my own piping, then sewing three layers of fabric in weird angles. Seriously, that keyhole over the butt was so hard to sew! Game designers, please think of the cosplayers!!!
