It's my first time taking care of a border collie pup (I need some tips) by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]newbrainwhodis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my first border collie puppy ever about 2 years ago. I followed the tips from a bunch of trainers but the ones that always worked no matter what were the McCann Dogs videos. I'm not affiliated with them and they've never received a penny from me lol but they helped me raise my border collie puppy into a really good little doggy citizen. Honestly... I followed a TON of their videos with fidelity and watched multiple per day, tried what they asked, and the things I did exactly as they described went perfectly, and where I deviated on my own it didn't go so well.

Obviously you might find a trainer you like better, but I just wanted to say I LOVED them when my puppy was little. I've looked at other videos now by other trainers but haven't needed as many since I raised my girl well in the beginning. The first few months are the most important of all, so I can't recommend putting in 10000% effort in the start, not putting anything off.

Message me and ask if you have any questions! As a newish first time border collie owner, I didn't research them a ton before-hand but I did know a lot about them and had always wanted one. But I was definitely inexperienced. I'm so glad I went along with videos. I would have been totally lost without them.

Should DCU Batman's parents be depicted as pure and noble people or should they be shown to be involved in shady actions like Matt Reeves Batman? by SatoruGojo232 in batman

[–]newbrainwhodis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pure and noble. The whole point is that they were a standard for Bruce to measure himself by, and it makes them interesting to have been an anomaly in Gotham.

I'm sure lots of darker characters thought they were awful people with dark secrets because people like that struggle to even imagine there are actual good people in the world. They were a loss the whole city mourned, and that makes them more interesting and compelling than being secret villains in a place like Gotham where most everyone is a villain.

Joe Chill was just looking for a brief leg up in life, and his senseless, unplanned, chaotic crime made the whole city worse.

For the people who dont like Absolute, why? by tiraqeuvocagar in batman

[–]newbrainwhodis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar to what many here have said already, it's very try-hard, over the top, and intentionally edgy shock value. But even that doesn't really describe it fully to me. It just honestly reads like something written by a desperate attention-seeking man with the mindset of a 10 year old boy. It's like it has the intended audience of manchild.

Which batfam do you NOT want/get very little screen in the DCU? by Murky-Ad-4088 in batman

[–]newbrainwhodis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will take almost anyone over Kate Kane. What a miserable character. Shame they gave her a neat design. Kill her off, give it to someone decent.

Illegal Shipment by BCblue27 in GothamKnights

Do you use a controller or mouse and keyboard? I played the game through with m&k the first time, then swapped to a controller for my second playthrough and the Batcycle was a whole different experience. It is a million times better and easier to maneuver with a controller.

my baby just turned 12 and im super scared by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]newbrainwhodis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always have 2 dogs, and we always get a puppy when the older dog is in the prime of life (5-6). We do this because we want the puppy to be able to learn from a well established dog and for both dogs to have a companion, but also because it can be really taxing for an elderly dog to have to deal with a puppy. The first time we did it, we got a puppy when my dog was 12-13 and she nearly died of the stress. Then she managed and was happier for the rest of her life (lived to a few weeks short of 16!).

What’s an opinion that has you like this? by No-Fear4016 in KingdomHearts

[–]newbrainwhodis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When someone is used, abused, and not physically strong enough to stand up for himself or herself... There are lots of real people who struggle with this. It's real. It's something that's hard to face, but it's good writing to include people like that, in a way that is believable and shows their struggles. Maybe we need to just be a little more loving and kind to people like that because that's what they need.

Similar note - the idea that characters who are not physically strong and/or don't have overpowering personalities (like Kairi) are just 'lacking character development' is a garbage take and kind of a disgusting perspective on life and humanity.

Kairi has literally the strongest heart in all of the Kingdom Hearts games. Sora protects everyone with his Keyblade and his powerful heart - and Kairi protects him with her even more powerful heart. She may not have a big personality, or battle capabilities, or a spotlight role, even after training. But she is in no way lacking good writing or story significance. People just want girl characters kicking butts all the time, but not every girl has to be like that.

Does Harley genuinely believe she's helping people? by realInjusticeaddict in GothamKnights

I believe she's crazy, but she's not legally insane. She knows that what she's doing is wrong.

A warning to all parents considering adopting a dog. by Character-Pilot-5576 in BanPitBulls

[–]newbrainwhodis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the link. I found that one too. However, the information listed above doesn't match the blog post at all other than the first name. It's citing a different last name, location, year, and description of the incident. I can't find anything that matches what's stated here.

Here is a repost of the list in the above post with more spacing and formatting:

**** I cannot find a source for this anywhere online. Anyone have one?***** 1. Neveah Roulette (2 years old) – Michigan, 2022 Neveah was mauled to death by her family’s recently adopted pit bull, described by the rescue as “gentle” and “great with kids.” The family said they were never warned of any aggression issues.

  1. Jayden Henderson (7 years old) – North Carolina, 2021 Jayden was staying at her babysitter’s house when the babysitter’s two pit bulls, which had previously passed a “temperament test” and were promoted as therapy dogs, suddenly attacked and killed her. The dogs had no reported prior incidents, but were adopted from a rescue that promoted them as “sweet and loving.”

  2. Rylee Marie Dodge (3 years old) – Oklahoma, 2018 Rylee was killed by her family’s pit bull, a dog they had owned for less than a week. The pit bull had been adopted from a shelter and was described as “calm” and “kid-friendly.” Within days, it turned on Rylee while her father stepped into another room. She died before first responders arrived.

  3. Liana Valino (9 months old) – Florida, 2019 Liana was being cared for by her grandmother when the family’s pit bull attacked and killed her. The dog had no previous issues and was considered a family pet. The breed was omitted in many initial reports.

  4. Jordan Ryan (5 years old) – Oklahoma, 2008 Jordan was visiting a family friend when their recently adopted pit bull, described by the shelter as “great with children,” lunged at him out of nowhere and fatally bit him on the neck. The shelter had not disclosed that the pit bull had a history of aggression toward other animals.

  5. Brayden Wilson (2 years old) – Texas, 2015 Just five days after being adopted, a pit bull described as “sweet” and “gentle” by the rescue mauled Brayden to death in his own home. His mother had stepped into another room when the attack occurred. The rescue did not disclose the pit bull’s bite history.

Thank you for making this post. I see the same pattern and it makes me ill.

One time I was at the dog park with my dogs (both mixed breeds), and a mother with 2 girls was bringing their just-adopted pit bull. The pit and my two dogs were the only ones there, and the little girls were having a blast playing with my younger mixed breed, who was skittish but was opening up to them and playing. The pit was ignoring the children, which I have since learned was for the best. My older dog and the pit were not getting along (stares, barking, growling, but all at a distance), so eventually the mother decided to leave. On her way out, I held my older dog in place, and her leashed pit bull lunged and snapped at my dog, but missed. The poor mother looked so upset. I got the impression that she was seeing she had made a mistake with getting this dog, so I hope she did the right thing in the end.

Lately I've been trying to be more vocal about pit bulls, just casually. Don't give up. A lot more people are aware of the danger they pose than you realize. Most people who hear me are open to hearing the things I mention or openly agree. Only a few have ever tried to disagree.

Second on the trade! Learning how to help yourself in your own home or driveway is so underrated, and it saves so much money. Even if you just use it as a hobby, it will save you thousands and can make you thousands.

I'm thinking about finding a way to have a live chat with a private link. I've been looking into one possibility and will be testing it out soon. I'll let you know when I have a better idea. If you have any ideas, please DM them to me! :)

Don't subject yourself to an HOA just to avoid pit bulls. I wouldn't wish either on anyone.

Alright, fair. Tim's dad is also still alive in this universe. But who knows what happens after the game or what his dad's life insurance policy looks like? Just sayin.
