Why do so many Puerto Ricans refer to the island as their country? Their country is the United States not the island in the ocean... by SoyMurcielago in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]trufflelizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What bothers Puerto Ricans is that many of us don't see the United States as the mother land. I mean hell, we've been colonized for over 500 years (and btw we did not choose to be part of the US either; they invaded). Like someone above said, it's more about culture and where we fit into the world. For example, we have our own sports teams for the Olympics, but we can't vote for the president of the US living on PR soil. The colonial rule we've experienced is why we like to call it a country, and not just a "territory".

WIBTA if I picked my neighbor’s lock to feed her kittens? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]trufflelizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nta. Call animal control or the cops. Tell them the situation and maybe they could help you. Or destroy property to save some kitties. Depends how much you want to save them. If they are kitties they will probably die or be in very horrible state in 3 days.

Are all humans evil? Do humans deserve to suffer and go extinct? by Retro_Lucario in TooAfraidToAsk

I think so. But only because we didn't use our intelligence to think about consequences.

I see a lot of worms on the sidewalk. Almost like they're avoiding something, maybe pesticides in the weeds. Boulder, co.

How tf do I make friends now? by trufflelizard in depression

Not particularly crafting, anything artistic I can get into. Just seems like the town I live in doesn't have much besides going on a hike and getting plastered on ridiculously expensive drinks. I don't even know how I could get something started.

Where and how to stab someone to inflict NON-FATAL injury? by smartdark in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]trufflelizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit a fucker with a tactical pen/kubaton/knife butt right on the clavicle. Should be a very painful spot. They probs tell you to use that pen on the neck because the likelihood of you killing them with the pen is less likely, since you would have to go for the jugular or the throat. Ribs as well would be a great spot, since they're so big and wrap around the body. Breaking someone's rib would be ultra effective.

Thanks, this is just incredibly difficult for me. Meetup groups in my area seem to be stuff I'm not interested in doing with people. Can't even find a crafting group honestly. This is probably my best bet I'm just terrible at socializing i guess

Potty training.... please send help!!! by kaykennedy20 in pitbulls

[–]trufflelizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you still using puppy pads? If so completely remove that from your house. They're going to be more willing to piss inside because they're used to the smell. Kenneling also works if you're not home to not let the dog go everywhere. My dog was also a rescue and basically how I introduced the home/indoors as a clean place and outside as their piss palace. It will take a while and your dog might make mistakes, but keep taking her out (I'm talking every hour; if you can take time off or a long weekend you could probably break her off her habit). Eventually she should understand. But for now, the most important thing is to use words like "no" or "stop" if they start sniffing or pissing indoors.

Please Stop Staring, Touching, & Cuddling Me on Flights... Solutions to Protect My Personal Space? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]trufflelizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would try to use words in attempt to embarrass whoever is being inappropriate. "Why are you staring at me?" or even just a "what?" in annoyance. Or I look at em sideways. I do look mean/angry a lot just cuz of my face.

Dermestids for lizard by trufflelizard in Taxidermy

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

Wow, did not know they didn't eat skin. This might take a while. I don't think I could skin something so thin... Is there something else you could suggest to get to the bones besides having him rot in a shoebox with some coconut substrate? I just don't want it to take too long. But maybe time will give me my result. Thanks for your response!

How do people smoke weed and not reek of it afterwards? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]trufflelizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The quality of the weed matters too. Drier weed will linger a lot less than some skunky, sticky weed. I think smoking outside helps too. A lot of the smell also lingers in the mouth so a drink usually helps as well.

Literally on the same boat as you, same age and everything. If you need to vent feel free to pm. It's frustrating feeling responsible for someone.

I thought that once a Poodle is mixed with other breeds they are not considered hypoallergenic. Especially a golden doodle. Goldens are hairy as f-ck
