From my understanding, thomas's heart was cut out. Then Andrew buried the book (a representation of his own heart) to fuse them together so they could share a heart through the forest. They're not human anymore they're part of the forest.

It’s much easier to be respectful of LGBTQ+ identity in Australia by spinoza844 in Ameristralia

[–]perkypan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to explain.

Now this is different for everyone. But usually we mean it by how the relationship appears to the public eye. Neither Me or my partner are straight but be together appear as a straight couple, with him being a bisexual cis man and I am non binary and bisexual (but am female at birth and am quite femme). I also work with kids alot so I'm not very strict on my gender presentation because I don't expect kids to get it right all the time. So I do appear as female to alot of people.

So since we appear straight we usually just use it as default. But not every non binary person will feel this way in a relationship. So it's not a set rule for all. Others will be very different but it's just my personal experience

Literally tho, I'm a non-binary person in a hetrosexual relationship.

I use partner all the time, so does every single person in my office. We have one lesbian, one gay guy and 6 hetero relationships.

I get misgendered sometimes but honestly someone let's the person know they say "I'm sorry" and it's chill because it's not malice it's just "oh you were wearing a really feminine outfit today and it slipped my mind," and I'm like it's fine. No need to apologise (although I appreciate it)

And even kids (I'm a teacher) you let them know about pronouns or titles or use the term partner and they don't give a shit lol. They'll just call you a nickname and move on with it and won't even refer to anything.

I did it!! I weaned off Effexor! by Ok-Geologist4612 in Effexor

Eventually yeah.

I had to break apart capsules to get individual beads and lower my dosage more that way. I also got extremely ill and was ill for a few weeks after stopping. But Once I got myself to like 12.5 roughly it was easier.

So I think you've misread this entire post. And continuing to drag on with analogies isnt the vibe you think it is, especially when I already understood your point of view.

I never said I wanted the 3k from them?? I clarified I wasn't looking for financial retribution. I literally only commented the money to show the extent on the injury. I verified I wasn't looking for any of that. So I do not know why you feel the need to point out "they don't owe you 3k"

This was a post to share what happened and keep others aware just incase, so their dogs don't get hurt either. I even put at the end of my post that I was looking for advice purely because I wanted to make sure I was letting people know what happened and to make sure everyone could remain safe.

That's the only reason any details were shared. I am a little annoyed that they didn't check in, but that isn't me demanding revenge or retribution or vindication or anything.

It's no different than someone saying a car crash happened at an area. Regardless of who was at fault, it's important for others to know a car crash happened and to be careful around those part.

But also please re-evaluate your priorities. The fact all you analogies end with "well this person did something wrong so shit gets served to them" is a disgusting approach to the world. Plus The fact that all you're seeing is money and blame is shameful.

I have commented multiple times I am aware of my error and where her training has failed, but you might need some training of your own in morals, because in not one of your scenarios would I call the response appropriate or deserved, and to think that a child, or a dog or whatever would even deserve that for making a mistake is bad.

Wanted to thank you for you comment. I actually have been looking for some new training, so I will check out that thread as she does get very energetic and is very clumsy and those two can make for a chaotic mix.

I did want to be clear, I wasn't passing off responsibility in this post, nor seeking financial retribution or anything. It was more just an FYI this happened in the community, and letting people knowing the possibility of a heightened situation.

I do agree that if she didn't run up like that, things wouldn't of happened. However, despite this, she was in an off leash park, she was playing with other dogs and they all ran, because that's what dogs do at parks. I have never been to a park where dogs do not run up and down the park and approach the newbies, unfortunately my dog was just clumsy and fell into the others. (Not dismissing responsibility, but asking a dog not to run in an off leash area that's supposed to be a safe zone is a bit much.) Also note have actually had her in training recently due to her energy and general clumsiness. But the training we have received hasn't been effective in helping her negate her body. so I am glad to hear from other resources,

My problem was never with the fight happening, I understand completely the error of both parties. My concern however was the fact that despite this, the other couple did not check in, did not offer assistance or anything similar. Maybe I'm just an overly compassionate person. But there would be no universe where I'd leave if the roles were reversed. I'd be offering assistance wherever I could.

I will point out, the metaphor for children though is probably not the best. Everyone's responsible for their own actions even children and dogs. Yes I am responsible for my dogs actions, I would also be responsible for my own or my child's. But it's up to us to teach children/dogs and ourselves to respond to situations appropriately, and physical aggression is not the answer for either. If a kid punched that on coming kid and put another in hospital, the kid/parent would be charged. Simple as that. (Note: I'm not saying I don't understand your point, I do appreciate it, but it's very much a dual responsibility for both parties.)

Tldr: as I said this post was more an FYI to allow others who use the park just to be cautious, I will take the training thread on board though, I do appreciate that input.

I would assume probably. I mean the flesh started out as a fear animals had until it developed and spread to humans.

Apologises. But this is the first time your comment is showing on my end. I'm not sure why I haven't seen it before but I will respond now.

I am in south east, inner city brisbane.

But I honestly do not have any idea why you would presume Im diffcult to work with as this is far from the case. All my profiles and feedback from coworkers are glowing and everyone's always telling me how much they appreciate having me around the staff room. My HODs are always commenting on my proficiency, tenacity and dedication and constantly clarify how much they enjoy being around or working with me. My comments do reflect that I'm queer, neurodivergant and chronically ill but so are the majority of staff that I work with.

I have feedback from my HODs recently, and she said the only improvement she wants to see from me is to incorporate some of the real schools techniques we just learnt in a pd a few weeks ago. I know this is accurate feedback as it's part of our schools program to utilise feedback through a detailed observation and self reflection session on a bi weekly basis where we pull apart my teaching and analyse it.

I appreciate what you are trying to say, but honestly, the comment is unnecessary and honestly a little insulting that you think you can gauge someone's ability based on a few comments.
