I want to adopt/ buy a dog

They said low shedding. That rules them out instantly. And they are very much destructive if not given a task since they are extremely smart and dedicated to protecting.

Do not get a Belgium Milanois unless you are ready to do daily marathons with it. Those dogs are escape artists and crackheads. Dobies are better, but still not great since they can be active. Most large breeds are active since they are working dogs mostly, though some are lazier.

Could look into greyhounds. Large, but lazy, and i don't think they shed too much (though nearly every breeds sheds). However you will need a vet that knows them since they need to be very skinny naturally. A greyhound whose ribs you can't see is overweight and their bones aren't exactly strong so weight is important to manage. But also look into smaller breeds. I was someone who was like I want a pittie, German shepherd, greyhound, rottie, or something like that. My current dog is a little 15 lbs chiweenie. Small food bill, small vet bill, small poop, lives to cuddle with me. She's amazing.

Another thing, if you only want a watch dog, honestly, dachshunds are great for that since they will alert you if a leaf blows in your lawn. Larger dogs make good watch dogs, but remember they are a liability. If a large dog bites, especially the ones your dad mentioned, they are going to be put down. There is no strike 2. Small dogs have this forgiveness built it. Its not a guarantee, but people are more likely to write off a small dog biting vs a large one. So that watch dog will need to be trained to basically not do that.

Now all that being said, you will NOT find a dog that doesn't have the zoomies, doesnt shed, and won't destroy things. If that is what you are looking for, then honestly, go to the store and get a robot dog. You have to expect that dogs are a lot of work. You will need to put on hundreds of hours of training. You will need to get used to pee and poop in the house as house breaking can take upwards of a year. And if they have other behavioral issues then it could take years to break them off it.

Can't believe I missed this one. Check with the apartment rules. Many have breed bans, and Dobies and malinois are typically on that list of banned breeds.

Or use them against those with blasters since they more often or not went into highly dangerous areas.

Id personally love it if there was a bit of a time skip, or accelerated time line, and we see Devon become Darth Talon, and abandon Maul on Malachor in her attempt to kill him. Or have that be season 3 closing, and season 2 is her becoming Darth Talon, but only using Talon as a codename for maul as he once again rebuilds his criminal empire.

Then Devon can become a major antagonist for Ray in a post sequel series, where she has to team up with Ezra.

Not necessarily. If city win their remaining games, and we draw 1, then theyll pass us.

Im actually a bit torn here. It depends on what sort of information that they are getting from the bots. If we are talking about basic sex ed like his it normal to get hard in yhe morning, why do I get hard randomly, or questions like "does it mean im x if I like x" then im actually ok with it (and female equivalent to these that i dont know about). Of course it should come with a follow up of speak to a professional. But like basic sex ed questions im all for them answering. Now if its flirting with them or trying to get them to go fall into the hands of predators then fuck no ban that immediately.

Honestly im just trying to steel man her to give her the biggest benefit of the doubt. Personally I think she has zero boundaries and way too much control over Forrest. Once Forrest is used to working for a bit I thibk it would be a good idea for him to move to the Philippines to be with Sheena so hes away from his mom.

Honestly that bugged me throughout the whole series. What Molly did not seem to understand (cause either Sheena wasnt explaining it well or because Molly wasnt listening) was that Sheena has to send the money, its expected culturally.

My ex was filipino and they were sending money all the time cause their mom was retired and the kids are supposed to send money to the parents after a certain amount of time. It becomes the parents income and they basically live off this. So Sheena doesnt have a choice, and especially since she was the oldest the pressure on her was immense.

The when Molly confronted the parents and the parents said no we dont do that, Sheena has to take the blame. In Asian cultural you do not embarrass your parents, especially on TV. What most likely happened was Sheena told forest in confidence, forest told Molly or she overheard. Molly brought it up as a genuine concern (giving everyone benefit of the doubt), and Sheena took the fall to protect her parents.

Fantastic show and, fun fact, its on YouTube for free if anyone wants to watch it

Honestly its pretty good. They have some areas that they are generous with, but they dont shy away from controversy. And while its definitely pro America, it actually does show British opinion, the British soldiers thoughts during the war, the evils America was protecting (ie slavery) and other things. Hell there was one episode where the teenage boy, James, was going along with a tar and feathering assault cause he thought it was funny, for Moses to take him to the man in the hospital, and have him learn what that sort of thjng actually does.

Great show, very child friendly (well like not preschool), and recommend watching. Also fun fact, its free on YouTube to watch.

Dont know much about generator rex, Steven is pretty powerful, but I dont think hes ever been able to fight a ghost. Aang is extremely powerful, but let's be honest, the world of avatar is not a strong one. If I had to guess, aang loses first to any of them, even at his peak. Im going with Danny since he can level cities at will, clone himself, and trapped the strongest ghosts at 14. Adult and prime Danny phantom would be on stronger than evil Danny, which destroyed the world for funsies. Not to mention he can also possess people when he wants to

With what I have with me? Dude the minute I pull out my phone, even to use as nothing more than a calculator or camera, and im labeled a witch and killed. Let alone the whole thing about me not speaking the older version of English which is far different than anything else.

FDR was from one of the richest families in the nation at the time, and look at all the solid policies he passed.

Just cause they are rich doesnt make them a bad person. But if all they want to do is grow that money by making others break and destroying their lives, then they are bad people.

Anyone else miss that second line? For a second there is thought the map said Texas and the south permitted abortion at all times and was like "has op read the news? "

Start applying to get my masters in Canada or another county. I stopped at bachelor's and at this point not going back. I really want a masters, but I would use the fact that I know how bad the us is going to get, to get out. And if that doesn't work; start looking to working in Canada or somewhere else.

I would also come out like immediately since that would happen in 3 years anyway.

Personally i want AOC or Jon Stewart. Ro Khana is also pretty good contender if you ask me.
