And the thread has gone completely off the rails and is being locked.

"The thread has gone completely off the rails"

And why is that, B-Dubs.

Someone in that thread is calling Hasan’s videos “like light to vampires”.



Very healthy parasocial relationships on display here.

They worship a millionaire who doomscrolls twitter 90% of the day and whose takes amount to "West bad" and then really turn around and say "Grifter??? How dare you?????"

Did they say light or sun?

Stupid either way, but there is a fairly well established lore to people of vampirism. And they’re having raves with strobe lights.

We adopted a staffy/pit mix from the local rescue shelter. I wasn’t too happy when they showed us the dog but he was super friendly and after spending an hour or so with him he seemed alright. So we took him home and everything was fine. He settled right in no bother at all. Then I took him out for a walk a day or so later. A guy went past us on his bike and the dog went fucking mental. Luckily he was on the lead so I could control him. I wrote it off as just him having a moment. Then it happened again. Some woman on her bike went past us and he totally lost it. That was enough for me. He was a good dog but all I kept thinking about was what if my partner was walking him and a kid went past on their bike. No way she’d have been able to hold him back. So back to the shelter he went. I felt bad about it but I wasn’t taking on that risk.

All I got from this is yippee more wife posting on the bire

My current rescue acts like this. But he's a 20 pound wiener dog.

I would be careful pissing them off. Those fuckers organise. I read about a woman who got mauled by a gang of them. I don’t know how they managed it but they must have stacked up somehow

I've got a standard poodle, she's cool as fuck but I could take her

Nah, I get you now! Yeah, there's no test to take or licensing to get to become a dog trainer. Honestly, with the knowledge in my head alone (no meaningfully practical experience), I could call myself a dog trainer legally today and no one could say otherwise.

[Jansen]

I like neps post about how all you have to do to stop a dog attack is wrap a leash around their fucking neck like you're Liam Neeson or some shit while you're getting mauled

Acquiring expert level dog-training knowledge (allegedly) while never owning a dog is quite bizarre.
Is that a furry thing?

Gonna be real, I feel like that memo was bait considering there's literally been reports of the GOP spending millions to get Hong past the primary.

If this mid term goes as bad as I think it will for 'socialist' candidates Reee will never recover. Might be time for a whole raft of folks to get kicked off the forum. I'm betting Hasan parasocials will be the next ones.

whole thread is a gold mine, someone quote that shit please. i can’t due to a bire mobile genocide thx

Like.. Any dog that is over 30-50 pounds and has any kind of pull strength should not only always be on a leash, but should also be on a properly fitted harness as well.

Instead awful owners use shit like collars or, even worse, chokers, which just cause the dog to get even more aggressive because its being yanked around by the neck all the time.

Harnesses are mandatory for dogs over 50 pounds where I live, and while my dogs have always had them, so many people have their large dogs off harness AND off leash and its ridiculous.

Also, as a parent, too many parents tell their kids to approach dogs without asking and by approaching a dog via their face. That is the WORST way to approach a dog that doesn't know you, as many of their sensitive organs are located in the face that kid is reaching for.

So many times I've had kids just randomly try to touch my dogs, or parents ask if they can pet my dog and give me the stink eye when I say no because I know they haven't trained their kids at all on proper approach. Plus the kids are often overly giddy when they see the dog and are approaching and thats not a recipe for anything good either when approaching a 120 pound dog who thinks you want to play.

...I could write a book on bad owners and bad parenting leading to these kinds of incidents.

My kids grew up with our dogs (from newborn babies, when our dogs were 80-100 pounds and could smoosh them without blinking) and even to this day they know to give the dogs space when they need it, what signs to look for and to never, EVER approach a dog without permission.

Translation: Why living with my dogs is like living with a homicidal abusive spouse

OR

Everyone needs to teach their infant children the proper way to approach dogs (via parachute drop, coming in from the 10 o’clock angle at a speed slower than a casual jog) so that I can bring my killing machines into public spaces without guilt

Teaching kids how to behave around dogs is actually sensible. 

Expecting every random little kids to know how to differentiate when an ear twitch means "pet me" vs "Initiate IDF training" is not sensible.

If your dog can't handle happy little kids being excited to see him, then stop bringing him to Chuck E. Cheese. It's no different than bringing a trembling, pissing teacup poodle to a 4th of July celebration and musing smugly that the event planners don't understand how this cacophony affects your pet.

Can't help but agree with Mike: "If you oppose socialists more than fascists, then you belong in the fascist party"

If you oppose centrists/liberals more than fascists, then you belong in the fascist party

https://www.resetera.com/threads/so-you-and-the-rest-of-the-humanity-have-turned-into-their-favourite-fantasy-species-what-happens.1595173/

So tonight, you go to bed, whether because you're just sleepy, sleeping off a massive hangover or just drunk, sleeping off a food coma etc, you're asleep and miss the sky turning multicoloured as several factors collide to cause a miracle to happen, from a solar flare, a clerical error in the heavens due to the Jade Emperor off sick with Covid, and too many nerds playing MTG that night.

You wake up the following morning and something has happened, to you, to everyone else in your household, to all your friends and family;  and to everyone in the world... YOU WAKE UP AND DISCOVER THAT YOU AND THE REST OF HUMANITY HAVE BECOME THEIR FAVOURITE FANTASY/FOLKLORE/MYTHICAL SPECIES: WHETHER THAT'S ELF, MERMAID, FANTASY DWARF, LICH, NYMPH, VAMPIRE, BALROG, DEMON, ANGEL, JINN, HOBGOBLIN, MINOTAUR, KAPPA, DRAGON, PIXIE, CAMAZOTZ, ORC, LIGHTNING BIRD, SASQUATCH, SLENDER, WEREWOLF ETC ETC ETC.

GROUND RULES:
1. While you are now physically different, you are still you mentality and personally, same personality, same home, family, friends, income, job, obligations (possibly given what they were) etc. You still need to eat, poop etc; which might be more difficult now, good luck trying to use a toilet now if you're now a Hecatoncheires.
2. This is now a permanent change.
3. All non-human animals have remained unchanged so your pets are still there and can still smell you as you.
4. For those who don't have a favourite, they default randomly as a Wood Elf, Fantasy Dwarf, Goblin, Lizard Person, Orc or Gnome.
5. Remember you might have new biological functions or differences and needs like needing to be in water, laying egg, can't see the colour red etc.
6. Any children born after this are a mixture of their parents.

So... WHAT HAPPENS!?!?!?
What are your immediate thoughts and actions?
How do you think things would go long term?
What difficulties do you think you'd have?
Think society would survive?

When someone is obese and clearly unhealthy, it's bad to mention that. You probably wouldn't tell a random fat person they should eat less.
Imagine seeing a picture of a fat singer or actor and commenting "they need therapy". Everyone would call you out for it...

Sure, Ariana Grande is too thin and that's not healthy. But is that really worse than being obese?
What happened to "body-positivity"?
