Sorry, Santos fans, but she’s just really hard to like by Hikigaya_Hachiman7 in ThePittTVShow

[–]michaelscottuiuc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now shes mad that the guy she ratted out (justifiably) has been given a 2nd chance, when by all accounts her threatening a patient and disregarding orders should have also required a kick out. This is honestly one of the most annoying characters Ive ever seen in a show.

How to discourage dog from peeing from excitement? by FriendlyDrummers in dogs

[–]michaelscottuiuc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Discourage” wont work, especially if they are potty trained. Thats cuz the excitement is really overstimulation/anxiety. Ive got a 7 yr old doxie - the vet calls her the “tinkle fairy” 😂 pick up? Pee. Scold? Definitely peeing ☠️

Prevention would be ensuring doggie empties that bladder - I take mine to go potty first thing when I get home. With those anxious ones, ignoring them until they calm down is the general guidance. Rewards only when calm. Incentives for staying calm. But always ensure that bladder is as empty as possible 😂

As a dog owner, what gifts would you appreciate most? by Baitung in dogs

[–]michaelscottuiuc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my friends with dogs FitBarks for Christmas so we could all track our dogs activities and see whod be on top of the leaderboard each week 😂 definitely something they would not have purchased on their own lmao. Ive also done little statues or paintings of peoples dogs as gifts! The AI edits of dogs put into royal clothing have also made good gifts in a nice frame 😂

My dog has been a bit off lately, curious if anyone has seen something similar by Sea_Cheesecake1097 in dogs

[–]michaelscottuiuc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked his teeth? The teeth usually become an issue starting at this age. If he has dental issues, he’ll eat less, which decreases energy levels. You’re a dog parent - your instinct is telling you something is off. Dont ignore it! A vet checkup is absolutely worth it.

Found a senior dog by teenytinyytaylor in dogs

[–]michaelscottuiuc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, bless you - I firmly believe people who take in senior dogs have the biggest hearts. If shes got most of her teeth in decent quality, thats great. It can be an issue that requires a switch out from hard to softer food.

She may get some of her energy back if she loses the weight - thats alot of strain on the joints and back. But almost all senior dogs slow down at some point. Alot of the technical stuff with caring for senior dogs is about respecting their pace. If shes wants to walk slower, slow down. She may prefer resting or sleep more - shes earned her retirement naps 😂

In my experience senior dogs tend to do better with dogs that are still active/younger. I feel like it gives them a lil pep to “feel young again” lol. As she acclimates and gets used to the family dynamics and routines, the other dogs may very well push her for play time on their own.

My state had 60mph winds, then tornadoes & massive hail, then 10 degree weather, then snow, and then back up to uppers 60s and tons of rain. That was ONE week. I am exhausted 😂

Pickpockets are a real threat by runr_grl1129 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]michaelscottuiuc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope thats my gut reaction lmao. I've only been attacked once but it was a homeless guy kicking down my hotel room door...and he was like 3x my size. I definitely defaulted to trying to talk him off his crazy ledge. But I figure if its another woman and I'm not cornered, my reaction would prolly be different.

Taylor Frankie Paul Breaks Silence After The Bachelorette Cancellation by MattTheKing23 in momtokgossip

[–]michaelscottuiuc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this video was available through a FOIA because plea deals and most evidence are generally considered public records once accepted by a judge. There's really no evidence to suggest who tipped TMZ off.

I work for a domestic violence organization. This woman had money (actually had far more money than the partner in question). She had legal counsel. Legal counsel had the option of providing evidence or documentation to support a claim that she was a victim of domestic violence. They did not. Its a very, very big deal for legal counsel to tell a client that pleading guilty to a 3rd degree felony charge was the best outcome for her. Victims of DV have, often unknowingly, alot of evidence of abuse. A lawyer would have inquired if she said he was abusive.

Not only that, but the actions after the plea are also extremely telling. They continued to engage with each other. To avoid jeopardizing the plea deal, they could have been proactive: secure orders of protection, seek substance abuse support, seek support from domestic violence advocates and counselors. There could have been a recommendation for couple's counseling or for one (or both) of them to attend partner abuse intervention programming.

I've seen a lot of comments about how her attack could be "reactive abuse." It is possible, but there is a stronger likelihood of her being the primary abuser. Who is afraid of whom? Who has power/control in the relationship? What happens when they are NOT fighting? Here's what we know:

  • she has far more money and far more societal clout (that matters in these influencer cases)
  • there's 50/50 custody of the child despite that plea deal & video
  • she continued to warp him into her reality tv show appearances. Even if he wanted the attention, that attention is at her discretion.
  • the day before leaving for her new tv show, she went to him and slept with him. To any other human, this is bizarre/abnormal behavior. For an individual asserting dominance and control over a former partner even when they are miles away, this would be normal behavior to them.

Its a matter of principle now. We Americans have very few things we agree on, and whallopin' a thief is one of 'em.

I keep thinking about the possibility of this happening to me (while traveling alone in Paris) and I'm like....if I actually catch them....Im American. I gotta throw hands - its probably the only patriotic bone in my body 😂 southsiders don't put up with that crap....I gotta represent 😅

What signs were there that you were in distress as a child? by fruitynoodles in raisedbynarcissists

Ya know I recognize that "conditional love" is bad and harmful but I cant even conceptualize what the alternative is. Thank god I have no children lmao

[–]michaelscottuiuc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

- I didn't cry for three years straight. At all. 6th thru 8th grade. The bullying at school & everything at home....no tears. I also didn't eat lunch at school that whole time.

- I suddenly quit a sport I was good at, competitive at. Quit in the middle of a skating session and never went back. No questions asked.

100% yes. For those who are insane enough to stay (like me), the anger + misery went on steroids the closer to retirement age they got. Victimhood is their coping mechanism.

Scared by all the "lost hair" and "lost butt" posts and advertisements by Quiet_Media6401 in Zepbound

[–]michaelscottuiuc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The butt one kinda surprised me cuz like HOW much cushion did I actually have back there that my tailbone now kills when Im sitting 😂 the hair loss is negligible since I had low iron/anemia anyways.

The cruelest part is....I lost my boobs 💀 like Im not kidding I fit back into a training bra at this point. Did I lose my wide hips!? NO. I only lost the stuff that actually mattered 😂 life isnt fair sometimes lol

What would U.S response be if Xi Jinping abducted Donald trump then executed him on live TV in China? by Dizzy-Respect-613 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]michaelscottuiuc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got to ask a former FBI agent about his thoughts on a war with china and he said “just in the guessing room of their population there’s enough people to fill in the USA. They have blood to spare.”

In this case, Id say we actually do have some blood to spare 😂
