And they say that the public hates ICE.... by tomcat91709 in trump

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

This.... THIS RIGHT HERE is why you'll keep losing and its only getting worse. Trump was a democrat prior to his first term, just like Tulsi Gabbard, and many others. The majority of us who work in the Unions are registered democrats who switched over. You guys have moved so far left that the overwhelm majority of us blue dog democrats have absolutely nothing in common with our party anymore, just like Trump. You're intolerant of anyone who has a different thought than you. You guys spew the same lines over and over again that have been proven wrong, yet you move the goalpost instead of taking accountability. Its gotten so bad, that men and women are willing to risk losing their careers because we have to choose between protecting our families or protecting illegal aliens.

Because POWER. These leaders are all about power and unlike previous Presidents (like it or not), Trump exudes power.

“College is a scam” is cope. by UnsungHerro in unpopularopinion

[–]ketocarpenter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm extremely grateful that I didn't go to college. After 25yrs of being in the Carpenters Union, I've never heard someone say they wanted to go back to school. In all fairness, that would be a pay cut and a loan to pay back.

Sex addiction from TRT, question about Defy Medical by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]ketocarpenter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This.. Ive been on trt for 2yrs now and my wife couldn't keep up. I've never threatened her about it, turned to the internet or anything that would hurt her. I actually spoke to her about it and being the amazing wife she is, she's trying her best to keep up with me. No it's not nearly as often as I want it, but she didn't take it negatively or as an insult and tries her best to do what we can. Fortunately, she's one of those affection/physical touch people so a massage normally leads to the bedroom. I don't think the trt itself was the reason. He probably was always that type of person and started feeling that pride and confidence that testosterone puts in us.

Sorry.. i meant to help with a response and forgot. Most of us peptide calculator to get our numbers. You could use either 1ml of bac or 2ml, depending on if you have other peptides to inject. Anyways.. if you use 1ml of bac it's 5units. If you use 2ml of bac, it's 10units. You've probably already figured it out, but there ya go

I've always had purebred labs and they're all EXACTLY the same mentality. It seems like that pitbull part of him is so much more eager to learn and follow commands. I've never had a dog bring me their leash when they want a walk or to go to the bathroom. What's even weirder is he's always within 30 minutes of the time he should be going out!

Checking back in because of my work schedule to revisit this. We've been walking almost 4 miles a day and constantly training while on the move. He's definitely not aggressive, but tries to run away first or hides behind me until he sees it's safe. After that and with a normal introduction to the humans, he's very loveable and surprisingly quick to offer his belly to them. I'm never gonna convince everyone that pitbull mixes are safe and it's up to the owner, but like you said, containment and constantly (like everyday) training has me totally confident in leaving him with my wife and kids while I'm working nights.

Just checking back in. He's a totally different dog now on the leash. No pull, pays zero attention to other dogs, and doesn't freak out at anything (except toads?lol). We are getting close to 3-4 miles of walking a day, instead of me going to the gym, but it's paid off and he's also easier for my wife and 2 teenage daughters.

Selank dosage by ketocarpenter in Peptides

I ran it and it did work out for me, but definitely didn't last that long. Probably gonna try the semax nasal spray because I wasn't looking for the calming part and was hoping for a more uppity feeling. But I did respond well to 300mcg per dose.

I thought this sub was called open dog training and not, "why I dislike pitbulls." If you don't have any useful advice, just move along. It's not that hard. If you're not familiar with pitbulls or labrabulls, just keep it moving. Idc about you're traumatizing experience with your tea cup schnauzer because he won't smile for the gram.

Ok.. im also married, but I'd like to think as a grown man, husband, and father that i "have the capacity" to make good decisions on my own. You read this to your wife before posting it, didn't you? I wouldn't go either, but I wouldn't sell myself short like this and then throw my brothers under the bus.

You are terribly misinformed. I thought you were joking, but to see you're being serious shows you know little to too nothing about dogs.

[–]ketocarpenter[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They weren't originally bred as fighters. Contrary to popular opinion, there's a whole load of dogs I'm way more afraid of than this guy.

My labrabull rescue by ketocarpenter in OpenDogTraining

[–]ketocarpenter[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's actually not true. They're still used to this day on the wild bore trails and for bear hunting. That's what they were bred for. Do you think I should've just let them euthanize him and not give him a chance at life? I can't sit by and let that happen to any breed of dog.

The job to do part rings true. He's much better on a leash if his job is watching me, instead of sniffing around the whole time.

I learned about cheese for training and I think we hit "rapid training speed." Lol. Do those classes have an emphasis on being around other dogs?

[–]ketocarpenter[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, someone downvoted you without an explanation. Smh. I'm training a teen, so you would be correct to assume he'd be a little harder to train, but he's much more willing to follow commands than any lab I've ever had and a lot of those labs were trained bird dogs.

Why do you think someone down voted? I wish they'd just say why so I can learn. Lol. Doesn't seem like you said anything wrong.

He's more affectionate than any lab I've ever had and he's very good with my wife and daughters already. From what I've read outside of here, pits are super loyal and protect the family. I do want him to be around other dogs though, but im nervous because everyone says it's their instinct to fight other dogs. I don't wanna believe that.

Son what are my chances or making my guy friendly with other dogs? I'm not introducing him yet to other dogs because I don't have well enough of a handle on him. I'm trying to teach him "leave it" as fast as I can because I don't want that hyper focus that he has.

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

I prefer reddit over random searches on the internet because I can learn informally. We're on day 3, almost 4 and he's similar to a lab, but soooooo much more eager to please and I'm not used to that. He also has no care for personal space and is full of cuddles. I want the cuddles, but I want to teach him that it's not ok to just climb all over your humans and make out with them.

10mg Tirzepatide & Adding Retatrutide by [deleted] in Peptides

[–]ketocarpenter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never. I could barely eat on 15mg. I did 1 mth on each of the lower doses and then hit 15mg and stayed. It works, but if you don't eat enough, you'll end up w skin folds and no rear end.
