2023.05.31 00:50 Time_Passenger_1153 Every dog has it's day
When I was 13 I was routinely bullied on the train on the way home from high school. I was a bit nerdy with thick glasses and very shy and socially awkward. This girl was from another more affluent school that used the same train. She was mean, cruel and humiliating and I dreaded the trip. I of course will never forget her.
Fast forward 20 years. I am now a veterinarian and look quite different. One day I have a consult with...my old bully and her dog. I instantly recognized her. She has no clue who I am. Let me stress I would never harm an animal or cause any suffering because of my feelings towards an owner. Ever, but. . Her dog did end up requiring shampoos, admission to a weight monitoring program, regular weight check ups, regular dental check ups, dietary supplements etc perhaps a bit more frequently than necessary.
It can be expensive to be a bully.

My caregivers, not my parents, were my aunt and uncle since I was a toddler. Unfortunately, my aunt allowed her kids to bully me and unload all their chores onto me. There was an incident where the dog initially refused to attack, but my uncle gave the command in German, leaving the dog with no choice. Eventually, he started physically abusing me as well. I vividly remember my aunt allowing him to sic the dog on me when I was only four years old. They would buy me Christmas gifts for appearances, only to take them away later. One particularly horrific incident involved them locking me in a dark and empty bedroom, causing me to have a busted lip, and then forcing me to go to school looking like that. Strangely enough, they also bought me a jump rope on the same day. It was used to tie me to one of the bed poles in their four-poster bed, while my aunt allowed my uncle to mercilessly beat me. Throughout this traumatic experience, my aunt would simply sit on the bed and turn up the TV volume to drown out my screams. Eventually, my injuries were noticed by my teachers, who reported the situation as child abuse. This led to me being placed in an orphanage, where I stayed until I was adopted by my current loving parents.

2023.05.30 22:43 admiral-change imagine being new to this sub
And coming here to try and see if anyone else can recognize how toxic and manipulative this group of influencers can be...they would not have the same experience that those of us who have been here for a while have. Finally finding a community that seems to think and feel the way you do about people being taken advantage of, or being shitty under the guise of "a learning experience " or even a "joke"
My point is that's no longer what this group represents. Take a look at the posts recently and you will see the same woman being consistently dragged and dogged on....Instead of finding another active influencer who is still having conferences, shilling their books, what have you, but no, here we are picking apart the body and face and the use of filters and dilation of someone's eyes (in one of sunniest places mind you) on one woman This sub no longer reads as a snark sub, but legit bullying. I won't just "keep scrolling" so you don't have to face how ugly this behavior is either.

2023.05.30 22:25 Mrpssi ILPT Request: My brother is being targeted by his fellow classmates and I am unsure what to do.
Hello all,
I have been informed by my brother that a group is targeting and harassing him and I am trying to get evidence of them in the act. Since he is a sophomore and I am a senior, I almost never know how he is doing in classes or what problems, such as potential bullies, he might face. I was thinking maybe the installation of a micro camera on maybe his bag or in the classrooms he attends. If anyone has any ideas on how I could further this or act in a different way please let me know. (Before you ask the collection of evidence is to be presented to a counselor or school head so that has not yet been exercised)

2023.05.30 21:41 Conscious_Form3243 Emotional Damages
I've (23) been with my bf (24) for 7 years now. We've gone through hard times and good times together. We've had a tendency to bicker in the past. Recently having moved in togther, our arguments have began escalating. It had come to my attention from him, within the short period of time with living together, that I needed to change, help out more be more attentive and he basically told me that I needed to help him even when he doesn't ask for help - taking the initiative. examples of these include cleaning the shower when it needs to be cleaned, making him food when I see that he’s busy, etc. I feel like I’m being set up for failure when I’m not specifically asked to do things, and an argument breaks out when I have fallen short of completing a task that he would like me to do. I have expressed to him in the past that I obviously have no issues in helping when I know what and where needs help, is this wrong? an argument about how the shower was filthy turned into a days argument of how I need to change and how I am crazy because I haven't changed yet and that I don't care about our relationship or him because I'm not proactive enough. I think it’s important for me to add that although he is the one that works full-time and I part time, we are both full-time students, I clean the entire house, top to bottom, basically on a daily, as well as do the dishes, put the dishes away, take the dog out multiple times a day, yet none of this is enough, mind you, he has told me that what I do is not enough, and I understand that these are topical things, but it’s not like I’m sitting in the house staring at the wall for 8 hours.
I am willing to and open to changing my perspective in the sense that I pay more attention to when he needs help or things need to get done, but I don’t think that it justifies an argument, every single time that I fall short of having completed something that quite frankly hasn’t even crossed my mind - because if I thought of it, I would obviously do it and not ignore the task. This is all to say that after this argument of him calling me crazy, and a psycho in response to me crying (due to him absolutely flipping a lid over the dirty shower, which had he asked me to clean right then and there I absolutely would have done it!!), I have now filled out a monthly plan per his request as to every single day what I will be completing on how I will improve, what I will work on for that day, as well as discussing all of this with him on a daily basis. I won’t get into specifics about the way that our arguments go, but essentially, I am very aware of his emotional abuse and gaslighting throughout these situations - I just don’t understand how someone can continuously argue and bully someone who is at their wits end and is just crying at this point. no matter what I say or don’t say during any of our arguments, it’s wrong, if I say anything, I’m cutting him off and not letting him speak and if I don’t say anything, I am not trying to fix things. Most arguments, depending on how bad it gets, he tells me that it was a mistake that he’s stayed with me and that he wishes he was with his ex.
He has told me in the past that no matter who he shows our arguments to they will immediately and always take his side, unless they’re biased towards me aka my family or friends.
To be quite honest, I never once had an issue with anything like this until we moved in together, I have always been able to care for myself more than properly, why do I feel like I’m going crazy??
I don’t know if he has anger issues, if he is abusive, or if he straight up, just doesn’t like me...
He continuously tells me that he wants things to work out, and that he wants to be happy with me, and be in a prosperous relationship with me, but I haven’t even received an apology from this argument.
Yes, we are going to couples counseling. Yes, I do go individually. No, he does not go alone, as of yet.

2023.05.30 19:52 StrawbeeMilk7 I don't have a sister anymore.
I wish that I was an only child. And I know it's like, "don't say that! She's your sister! You'll grow up and get along). But things have gotten so bad that I can't handle her.
My younger sister has always had bad anger issues. A horrible temper. She used to beat me up, tease me, and just plain ol' make fun of me growing up. Which hey, she's my sibling that should be kinda normal. But she would get so angry over nothing. She would punch walls, throw things at me, slam doors, scream and call me horrible thing. All over something as trivial as letting her use a clothing piece of mine (just an example). She always made everything about her. She constantly threw these tantrums and disrespected my parents. If I had a day that was supposed to be mine, say it was my birthday or I won an award. She would throw a tantrum and all the attention would end up going to her. She was a competitive athlete and insanely good at what she did. So most of our year was spent traveling, waiting, watching. All surrounding her.
She's graduating this year. And for the past couple years or so our lives have been a living hell. It's not just tantrums anymore. She treats me and everyone else in my family like dogshit. Last year around this time she was out late getting drunk and wasn't back till the early morning hours, she didn't call or text my parents. So naturally she was grounded. Well, my sister and my parents got in a huge fight where it ended with my sister screaming how much she fucking hates my parents and leaving to live with her boyfriend. She came back for some reason or another and I was sent out to see what she wanted. She proceeded to get mad at me for not checking on her or asking about her. And I was pointing out how she's in the wrong. Why would I bother to check on her when she treated my entire family like shit and left. Basically dropped a nuclear bomb on our family and left. She then lunged at me and attempted to beat me up in the driveway but I escaped.
It's gotten worse. A year later and it's like she's gone crazy. It's no longer an every now and then tantrum. It's now every day. Treating me and my family like shit. Screaming. She's gotten rid of and treated all of her friends horribly. I think she's bipolar. My parents speculated maybe harder drugs (than her usual weed and alcohol). But the reason I think that is because she goes through these periods of just fucking pure mania. The way she acts, you'd think she's tweaking. She'll get mad over someone saying literally nothing. Say a person asked her how her day was over text. She'd start RANTING and raving, incredibly fast you can barely understand what she's saying. She'll make horrible horrible decisions that make little to no sense. Her reasoning for anything she does is genuinely just nonsense. She'll get incredibly angry over NOTHING. You say one word wrong in a sentence and she'll flip out. I'm no doctor so I can't really say anything but she also has pretty bad doubts of depression.
She pulled a knife on me the other day. I stream on Twitch and it was my first stream in a very long time. I was so excited, I had prepared for a whole week. But as I was streaming, I began to hear screaming. Not screaming, SCREECHING. It sounded like a wild animal. There was throwing and banging and slamming. Like big heavy furniture was being thrown. I paused my live stream cause I'm sure you could probably hear it and went to go see what was going on. I asked her what the fuck is going on. She stopped. I went back to livestreaming but those who livestream know, once something kinda upsets you or messes you up, it feels impossible to get that energy back. To get that streamer persona back. So I ended it early. I came back out and she was asleep on the couch. My dog was at the door needing to go outside. I let her out and go outside with her. Next thing you know, I hear the screaming again. I go back inside and start recording. She proceeds to start screaming at me and goes into the kitchen and grabs a knife, slamming open and closing random cabinets. She then goes into her room and slams the door still screaming. I ended up leaving for the day.
For the past few days, I've been terrified. Genuinely scared. I don't leave my room half the time. I lock my door 24/7. I lock my door at night. Even my dad said I should just in case. We threw her a graduation party despite everything. Guests were already here and she was getting ready. My grandma was super excited and waiting to see her. She came out and I was with my grandma so I said "Hey! Come say hi to grandma!" She looked at me and started going "Don't fucking talk to me. Don't fucking talk to me." In front of everybody. Then proceeded to switch back to her cheery "Oh hi!!!! It's so nice to see you". I went to my room and just started sobbing. I hadn't cried this whole time, and for some reason I just completely broke at that one little thing. I couldn't stop crying for around half an hour.
I can't deal with her anymore. I just can't. I know it sounds dramatic to say "I'm never speaking to her again" But I'm never speaking to her again. I hate her. I hate my sister so much. I hate how she treats me like shit. I hate how she treats everyone surface level to her so nice then her own family who does everything for her. It's not like we're abusive. My parents give me and my sister everything. A house, all the food we could ever want, unwavering love. If we ask for something, they get it for us. I'm not the perfect sister, but when she would threaten to run away as a kid, I would sleep on the tile outside her room. When she got bullied by some kids at school last year, I stood up to them for her. I defended her to my parents over some other personal things that ended up hurting my relationship with my own mother for awhile. But it'll never be enough for her. Nothing is ever enough for her.
I fucking hate my sister.

2023.05.30 19:37 eternalkittenMum I travel w my cats once a week for work, introducing a new kitten, HELP!!
Hi everyone, I need some serious advice here.
I have 3 cats: 3 year old sphynx female [Pea], 1.5 year old sphynx male [Pickle], and a 6 week old female Siamese rescue kitten I’ve recently decided to care for and adopt [Tigra]. My two older cats go with me everywhere. From car rides, to stroller walks around my city.
I’ve had Pea since she was 2 months old. Raised as a single kitten but was with her litter for a decent time. She was very energetic, playful, and communicative as a kitten but has become increasingly reserved and independent as she’s gotten older. She still has that previous side to her, but tends to want her space more often, isn’t afraid to communicate that, and is bonded/affectionate primarily towards me. She very much has princess behavior.
I got Pickle at 4 months when Pea was like 1.5yrs. Before Pickle, I’d often be gone a couple days out of the week. Pea would free feed and always seemed to be fine/even enjoy the alone time; but I thought that (considering her amount of energy) a companion would be more beneficial.
I was very careful about taking introductions slow. Regardless, Pea was very mean, hissy and grumpy for a while. When they finally began to interact face to face, Pea would bully Pickle a lot, it would stress me out and make me cry because he was so tiny. Eventually though, Pickle grew and overtime they’ve become pretty bonded.
Pickle is almost 2 now but he still behaves like a kitten: veryyyy playful, energetic, talkative, dog-like. I feel like Pea’s personality has slightly changed since getting Pickle (possibly why she’s more reserved?) but also thought that was just due to her age. Pickle is twice Pea’s size and definitely annoys her, she’ll hiss, but she likes him overall. They groom and sleep with each other regularly. And when we leave the house for travel, they even prefer being in the same carrier.
I have an apartment, but I leave once a week for two days (for work) and stay at a relatives house, where I have my own area/set up for the kitties. So they come with me. This is a routine that they’re very used to and fine with. They’ve grown to even enjoy riding/listening to music in my car. They also seem to enjoy themselves my relatives home, but there’s more traffic there so they (especially Pea) feel more relaxed in my apartment.
So recently I took on this new kitten Tigra. She’s very chill, cuddly, gentle and sweet. I’d been thinking about this for a while, because I felt as though Pickle was too energetic for Pea. And because Pea loves cuddling up with warm, soft fur. New kitty could simultaneously entertain Pickle enough for Pea to have her space sometimes, and also be the more chill, warm fuzzy companion Pea needs.
So far, Pickle is sooo friendly and aside from a few swats, has been pretty accepting and playful towards the kitten. But introductions have been rough with Pea. She’s been grumpy, swatting at her brother, hissing at me occasionally, growling, hiding in her bed.
Tigra was rescued near my work, so I’ve been at my relatives house for nearly a week with them because it’s a bigger (separated) space & Pea has been so aggravated by the scent of the new kitty that I’m nervous to travel with them/bring them all back to my (smaller) apartment.
Tigra and Pickle are becoming friends fast and Tigra thankfully travels well too. I’m wondering if I, for now, should leave Pea at my apartment when I’m gone to help the transition? I keep them in separate spaces in my apartment also so I figured it would give her time to be alone andget used to Tigra’s scent without the stress of her being present.
I used to leave her alone and free feed her when she was a single cat and she was happy. But if I’m traveling with the other two like usual, will she stop recognizing Pickle’s scent too and get more angry? Will the repetitive coming and going be MORE stressful/confusing for Pea or will the scent of Tigra’s area combined with time alone be enough for Pea to recognize/get used to a new kitten in the house? I’m home 5 days in a row each week so they WILL be around each other the majority of the time.
HELP!!!!!!

2023.05.30 19:11 Human_Scientist_415 37 [M4F] Looking for half of the puzzle I am missing
Alright, let's try this again!
Hello to all you wonderful web wanderers, I’m the Human_Scientist_415 ! I’m diving headfirst into the digital dating domain at the age of 37. A bit scary, not going to lie. No human kids in my corner, but I am a proud dog-dad to Pancake, the sweetest 4-year-old bully mix you'd ever meet!
With the honesty thing in mind, you should know my brain is a bit like a web browser with 37 tabs open at once. Yeah, ADHD, that's me. It means I'm never short on curiosity and creativity, but sometimes I might get lost in my own train of thought. So if one minute I’m talking about the latest sci-fi movie and the next I’m wondering why zebra stripes are so...stripey, that's just me in all my glorious unpredictability!
Also, I deal with anxiety. It’s like that nagging feeling you’ve forgotten something important, except it doesn't really go away. This whole online dating scene is kind of like standing on the edge of a diving board looking at a very deep pool. But hey, I’m taking the plunge, right?
Pancake, my canine kiddo, oh where do I start? She's strong, snuggly and, if I'm being honest, snores like a freight train. If you're a dog person, you’ll fit right in. But beware, she's got a serious thing for pancakes (go figure!). Can’t blame her though. Pancakes are pretty great.
Outside of living my best ADHD, anxiety-filled, dog-dad life, you'll find me out in the wilderness, camera in hand, chasing that perfect shot. Nature is my quiet place, where things make sense. It slows down the 37 open tabs in my brain and just lets me breathe, y'know?
If you’re patient, understanding, and ready to embrace a bit of chaos (with plenty of belly rubs for Pancake), I can't wait to chat with you. I may be a bit like a pinball machine on overdrive, but I promise, life with me will never be boring!

2023.05.30 16:55 ThrowAway-Need-Med AITA If I Tell The Rescue I Can’t Go Through With My Foster’s Adoption, And Want To Keep Him?
The back story is that I’ve wanted to keep him this whole time, but everyone in my life has being giving me what I realize now we’re only THEIR reasons for why I shouldn’t.
He’s been with me for 5 months, has come so far, and has brought me so much love and healing since losing my soul dog.
My mom and dad are scared he’s going to be dog/animal aggressive the way my old dog was(he shows so reactivity as he wasn’t properly socialized as a young puppy and has had to learn but he’s getting better). Which is also what some of my friends are worried about. But honestly I don’t care if he gets along with other dogs outside of structured things like walks. What’s important is my relationship with him.
My boyfriend just doesn’t like “bully” types, keeps saying he was “just a foster” despite how much he clearly means to me, and his dog doesn’t like him because when he first came, he was too rambunctious and bitey. My boyfriends dog is also jealous and honestly pretty spoiled.
My brother and his girlfriend don’t like that they can’t bring their dog over to the house because the foster has resource guarding issues that are still a work in progress because he was fighting for food as a pup in a BYB/hoarder situation.
I kept telling myself I could let him go if the perfect fit came along, that had the experience to help him progress and not regress. There wasn’t a lot of applications coming in and basically the rescue decided the last couple to apply was a good fit out of desperation to move him - they have zero breed experience and they will be the first dog they own as adults, having only had dogs as kids. They live rural and have neighbours who’s dogs roam because no one has a fenced yard. Being that the foster has resource guarding issues, I can see this being a recipe for disaster.
They are lovely people and will make great dog owners for a better suited dog. The rescue has okay’d them to adopt him and I’m supposed to drop him off to them this weekend. I have so much regret and I want to tell the rescue I can’t go through with it, and that if the best home is what truly matters, they will tell the adopters that and he should stay with me. I know it’s not fair to them to have let the process go on so long but I really didn’t think the rescue would agree to the adoption once they realized how inexperienced they really are at the in person meetings. But they told me there’s not other applications coming in so they’re the best option. (I will add there’s dogs who have been waiting over a year, and lots of dogs who are a better fit for this couple, so I don’t know why they need to rush with this one or why they didn’t suggest a more laid back dog for them as first time owners instead of one with multiple behavioural issues. Anyways, I will not be fostering anymore dogs for them for a number of reasons so it’s not like they’re making space with me not having him here).
Do I just bite my tongue and let it happen since I waited so long, being in my own head with everyone else’s opinions on not keeping him?
Or do I say something ?

"Dick." "Huh? What, are we there?" "We've been here for six hours, man, we just haven't seen the car yet, and you haven't seen shit because you keep falling asleep." "Gimme a break, man, I was driving all night to get here." The two criminals were seated in a non-descript car, parked nearby the entrance to the main parking lot at Mt. Loyal University, charged with the details of a specific vehicle set to arrive at some point. The two were only armed with camera equipment, but it was enough to ID at a distance and that's what they were being paid to do. "Look, if this chick's as dangerous as they say, it'll help to be ready when she shows up. Try some of the coffee, they shouldn't be too cold." Dick looked at the two big cups from the morning hours before they showed up. "Dale, that stuff's probably frozen by now, let's just go get some fresh stuff." "We can't leave, idiot!" barked Dale, fitting of his canine species. They both were dogs, Dale a chihuahua and Dick a St. Bernard, with personalities to match. "Look, I'll go get some at that place down the block, come back here, and we can throw that stuff out." "Well then, go, come on, hurry up and get back, I don't want you sitting on a bench and falling asleep again." "I'm going, don't yell at me, man." Dick replied softly. "I'm NOT YELLING!" Dale yelled as the larger of the two got out of the car with another huge yawn to head off on his mission. The actual task they were seeing to was admittedly a dull one, but Dale liked to be alert at all times, especially when dealing with contract killers. About five minutes later, Dick had returned with two coffees, Dale opening the door for him. "Thanks. They had that hazelnut stuff you like, so I-" "Wait wait wait, hold that thought, I think that's our ticket." said the chihuahua, pointing a finger at the gate. Indeed, a white Oz Harper was pulling in and turning their way to find a spot. Dale squawked 'Hide!' and pulled the seat lock, falling backwards with it quickly. Dick just watched the car go by and head up towards the front of the building. "GOL-332, I think that's our guy, Dale." the larger dog said, slurping at his coffee loudly. The smaller one's head popped up to check before easing his seat back up. "Of course it is, I knew this was the gate to trust." he declared, pulling out a cellphone to speed-dial a number. "What are we gonna do now, D?" "Shh, lemme make this call in peace for a second... hey, it's us, the ones you called for recon? ...yeah, no, we stuck to the timeframe you gave us, the target's been confirmed at that college we parked at." Dick was starting to fall asleep in his seat again, so Dale smacked at him while completing the phonecall. "Gotcha.. yes, gotcha, you won't be needing anything else? Alright then, it was a pleasure doing business with you, and we'll just be on our way once our payment is secu- what??" The voice over the tiny microphone spoke in stern volumes, Dale glaring wide-eyed at the device like he wanted to bite a chunk out of it. He managed to inhale and hold it before responding tightly. "I understand, we will get a room and meet with you after the hit. Thank you very much for this opportunity." He beeped off the phone, calmly unclipped his seat belt, vacated the car, and then began to attack the right side of it in a psychotic frenzy, all manner of expletive spraying as hornets do from a disturbed nest. Dick watched him for a bit as he gradually slowed his raging melee with their car and got back inside of it. "We gotta go shack up in a hotel for the night, we're not getting paid until they kill this chick." "Hey, oh boy, a hotel, that'll have a bed for sure." He began to hand the chihuahua his coffee before giving a bit too much gas and causing a second furious explosion, this time in the car. The badly-secured lid had sluiced open and had went mostly all over Dale, staining his undershirt dark brown. Dick looked at him and raised his eyebrows high enough to expose his eyes at last. "Oh no, I'm real sorry about that, we can get the duffel bag out and take it-" Dale held up his paw. "Dick, shut up and let's just... take it to get washed somewhere, real quick. I like this shirt, this is my lucky shirt." "Okay, Dale." and he started up the car and turned off down the main street, looking like he'd be smacked around and scolded by the smaller man. Dale looked sidelong at him for a bit before looking forward quietly. "You're mad." "Dick, I ain't mad, I'm just cranky." "No, you're mad, you say that when you're mad." "What're you, my freakin' therapist? Get over into that one there and let's get this thing washed and dried, I'm gonna need it to keep from KILLING you, right in the face. "Dale, I'm really sorry." They parked and they got out. "Just finish your coffee, man, I gotta go use the bathroom and change out."
Tom was in a late afternoon haze of beer buzz, boredom, and bitterness. Something about the verbal skirmish with the snow leopard had really got on his nerves, and he still wanted to give her a piece of his mind. There was a bit of time left, and he felt like he could be risking at least one more smoke, so he went out the back door into the loading alley and lit up there, largely free of company for the moment, but it was then that one of the black cars from before slowly pulled into sight ahead, blocking off the alley's exit. "Shit.." he whispered, knowing better than to turn around as the sound of crunching rock on tires signalled he was being boxed in. He circled on the spot casually, eyes swallowing his surroundings to make sure there was no one else around in case he had to attack and escape. The two guys that got out had matching casual wear and a bully's confidence as they came his way. Two more door-shutting sounds behind him now, sending that tingle of adrenaline pre-game thru his body. Taking a deep inhale to martial his guts and nicotine, Tom came to a stop and looked to the guys in front of him as he exhaled, flicking the cigarette away. They were certainly taller up close. "Larry, Curly, good to see you, something I can help you two with?" he asked brazenly, getting two accosted looks in response. "How's he supposed to know that? He knows my name, man, how does he know that?" said the wiry one of the pair. Tom's throat tightened; one of their names actually WAS Larry, apparently. "He's calling us stooges, man, you know?" said the other, more standard-shaped one. "We got a smartass here, don't we?" came a voice from behind, followed by a hard shove that almost sent him onto the ground. "Hey!" Tom barked, stepping back to take all four of them in. They all had a kind of standard goon panache, and one of them had a shoulder holster slightly visible. The only animal folk in their number was a fox, shock-white and wearing the worst air of superiority among them, along with the tattoos and pink-red eyes. Tom made a mental note to attack this one first if he had to, but wisely switched gears. "Look guys, I think we got off on the wrong foot here, see... I'm a traveling salesman, and I got these dynamite blindfolds I'm peddling. You four want to line for a demonstration, I could oblige you a discount too!" he said, winking an eye. One of them chuckled off to the right, but Larry had apparently had enough, pulling an H17 into view, and putting the barrel inbetween Tom's eyes. He swallowed hard, carefully putting his hands up and standing his mental ground. "Yeah, talk that shit now, huh? Think you're all funny, man, I'll put you in the fucking GROUND, I don't give a fuck!" snarled this Larry.The fox put a clawed hand firmly on the guys' arm and caught his eye coldly. "Stow that piece, and calm down before you get us all popped, dig?" he said in a sibilant tone. Larry was still looking at Tom, glaring back at him, but obeyed and hung up the gun. The leader took point now, nodding for the raccoon to lower his arms. "I'll just... keep them up, if it's all the same, mutual trust eh?" said Tom, giving a weak smile. "Fair enough." answered the vulpine boss, "Now, my friend here seems to think you were scoping us earlier." "At the traffic light back there? No no, I just saw these nice Golgo Tundras going thru town, all sleek and white-- thought someone was putting on a concert or something. Honest curiosity, that was it." It wasn't necessarily a lie either. The tall fox looked him over a bit, his sharp eyes looking lower. "Got anything in your pockets?" "...I do." Tom carefully produced his wad of bills from one pocket and a pack of Mazzerucci Royals in the other. He really hoped they wouldn't stick their hand in the jacket pocket, for a few reasons at that. "See, I was just out doing laundry, there's no-- hey, dammit!" Larry had snatched the items up, and Tom moved his hands in protest, only to be frozen solid by the clawed fingers of the one in charge. "Mutual trust, right?" he said, smiling with sharp teeth. The bothered canine grimaced and tried to look helpless while they counted up his stolen cash, wishing he'd had enough magic stored up for a bolt of half-power lightning; they would probably survive, but with scars to remember. A sizable chunk of money was missing when it was handed back, and that was it. Tom looked up at the leader briefly, who was already biting onto one of the cigarettes. "I like Royals, consider it part of the toll here for wastin' our precious time with your peeking." and he felt his own pockets briefly before looking up again, "No lighter?" Tom lit his smokes on his own, so he just shrugged and produced his unfolded pockets. The four of them seemed to have had their fun and left, but the fox stayed a second to lean in close as his men returned to the cars. One particularly sharp claw came to rest gently just above Tom's left eyebrow. "Now, make a healthy choice, and stay the fuck out of sight for a couple days, okay? You and I see each other again, well--" He slowly dragged the sharp point across Tom's forehead, blood dripping down freely, making him wince a bit. "--You're gonna need one of those fancy blindfolds for when we execute you, since you uh... seem to be out of smokes too. Arrivederci, bambino~" he said, parting ways. "Yeah yeah, au revoir, Simone." Tom grunted, waiting until they'd disembarked before he snarled and kicked a nearby paint bucket across the alley like a soccer ball. "What the fuck is your DEAL, Canada?! I thought this was supposed to be a nice place!" he yelled. From somewhere in the barkyards of a nearby neighborhood, someone shouted in response. "I AM TRYING TO WORK OVER HERE!", it said. "SHUT UP!!" growled Tom, wiping at the blood on his face.
The raccoon was sitting in a miserable distemper while the dryer was finishing his clothes. 'I ought to just spin the wheel again and find someplace else, this town is becoming dangerous.' he thought, halfway thru another drink. He stopped suddenly at the sound of the door jingling, hurrying to move one of his towels over the opened can. A pair of dogs came in, talking in low voices, and Tom minded his own business, having had enough of strangers for one week. They seemed to mind their own business, so it was business as usual. One of them disappeared into the bathroom for a bit, coming out wearing a different shirt, and they proceeded to wash a single shirt. Tom had been on the streets for as long as he could remember, and had seen a furtive load of laundry or two, so lacking any other concrete plans, he got up and pretended to go check his clothes while pointing an ear their way. "...told you to keep it down, ya idiot." the smaller one hissed. "You worry too much, Dale, we're just there to drive anyone who needs it to safety after they corner that lady and tie her up." Already, this was sounding bad, but the raccoon kept incognito for the moment. "Yeah, well that's why they're calling in this extra muscle, this snow leopard's supposed to be a real killer born, y'know? Kinda like you and being so slow and clueless." Dick shrugged and lapped at his coffee again. "I'm just as my momma made me, Dale." "Yeah, well thank goodness she died before seeing this life of crime you've somehow clung to, she'd have died of shame otherwise." snapped the chihuahua, loading quarters into the machine. "Oh Dale, don't say that, she's already mad at me up in Heaven as it is." His partner scoffed and closed the hatch. "Look, I only yell because you never had no friends or family to steer you straight growing up, and I've told you, I'm your big brother! I gotta make sure you're learning and growing up better, yeah?" Dick nodded happily. "I love my big brother." Dale's face was a bit pinker at the cheeks, but he avoided eye contact for now. "Yeah, hey, y'know, it's... nice to be appreciated. Now, take a seat, will ya? Bad enough we're missing out on the fun work over at that construction site up the way, now I gotta hope this stain comes out." he muttered as they headed to one of the plastic benches. Tom was left with a great deal of trepidation: had he just made brief enemies with a trained killer somehow, or was any of this even true? He hurried to pound the rest of his beer, almost getting foam out of his nose in the bargain, bagged up his completed laundry, and left the place without a trace. He was halfway to the Door when he saw some day laborers around a truck by the gas station of his plaza. Once the clothing was carefull scooted into a distant, safe dimensional hideaway around the corner, he sauntered over to them, pretending to throw some trash away. "I don't mean to bother you guys, but do you know which way the big construction site is, just down this road here?"
Kari had been sitting in the parking lot of the campus for about ten minutes, watching the fracas of newspeople and police nearby and really feeling cheated of a decent day of schoolwork. The day was shot for sure, with the media frenzy still stirred up by people posting misinformation online, and news crew remaining on the scene for interviews with the friends or close ones of those involved. Kari looked over at her bag, containing the completed assignment, and felt supremely cheated as she started the car and looked over her shoulder. A bedraggled human face looked back immediately and she shouted in surprise. It was only then she realized it was from outside the car. Some drifter, bedraggled and carrying a backpack that was as weatherworn as it could be, was standing in the middle of the parking lot, looking past her car, then back at her. Something about it felt like the right thing to do, so she got out of the car and approached him. The man began to back away, muttering something. "No no, easy, I'm not gonna hurt you or waste your time, I wanted to ask if you'd seen anything weird recently." At first, the guy said nothing and continued mumbling something, but he paused on a dime and turned to her slowly before taking a huge inhale of her presence. The snow leopard stepped back, looking affronted. "Hey, what the hell?!" she snapped, "I just wanted a damn answer." The homeless man locked eyes with her, speaking very plainly. "He will lead you thru the door, and to places beyond here or there, and I will show you the other side! The OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR!" he said in a rising tone before wandering off incoherently, pulling the backpack into his arms and talking placatingly to it in tender whispers. Kari just got back in her car and looked confusingly at her steering wheel, like it would turn into a giant pretzel or something next. 'There's a lot of weirdos in town today, and that can usually mean something's up.' she thought, going from experience, 'The only problem is for who.. and why?" She rolled the window down and closed her eyes, feeling kind of cooped up for some reason "Excuse me?" "AAA!!" Kari's body moved defensively towards the sound, only to find some kid about 6 sandwiched up on himself to avoid the attack. "Hi? sorry there, kiddo, what did you need, are you lost?" she managed, still oddly on edge. "I'm um, here... this, uh, I got my... there's a letter for, here, there's a letter I got to give you. I have to go." he managed, handing a folded paper to her before hurrying back to a small bike and riding away. Kari almost threw it away, eager to put today behind her, but she groaned and unfolded it for reading. "We know who you are, come alone to the location marked at this address at this time only, make this easier on yourself." An address followed and the feline predator smiled with murderous glee, slowly tearing the letter in half. "Know who I am, do they?" she growled, her grin almost too high, "I sure hope they know what I can do." Before she turned the car around to head home, she carefully pocketed the two pieces of paper. "...dammit, why'd I do that."

I made the list from the perspective of an action fan but there are some puzzle and adventure games included that I enjoyed. These are the 310 games I would return to and it includes games all the way up until 2023. I'm now starting my journey through the entire Sega Genesis / Mega Drive catalogue.

2023.05.30 16:35 Remarkable-Fudge2 Reactive Dog Going for Training
Hello everyone, I have a 6 year old American Bully x Cane Corso. As a puppy we did puppy and obedience training which he exeled at. We even brought him to day care three times a week and he absolutely loved it. Fast forward, he's about 3 years old and we moved to the city. It was a change for him, but we started to settle in to this new environment until one morning we were coming in to the building from our morning walk. Unfortunately some dick head had his dog off leash while in the hallway and before the door to the stairwell closed behind up, the mastiff made its way in and started to attack my pup. After that, all training went out the window. A couple weeks later we are back out on a walk, two more dogs that were unleashed came running up to us, luckily my dog picked up his stick of the day and it was long enough for me to fend them off until another, dickhead, owner got the dogs.
Now, we moved out of the city and back to a small town and we started to see him go back to his old self, personality wise, but he's still very reactive when it comes to dogs and other humans, especially while on leash. He's also very protective of our house now and goes absolutely nuts when someone comes to the door. We found a trainer however they used balanced training so I'm just wondering if balanced training is the way to go with our pup.
Thanks for any information!!

2023.05.30 16:13 OptimisticNihilizm Got fired
Hey guys, long time lurker and I thought I’d share my experience in the hvac field.
At the start of 2020, my uncle hired me into his small company at the request of my mom since Uber took a nose dive from COVID. I was 22
Here I used my snips for the first time, learned about material handling, even pulled a few permits using my computer skills.
Long story short, I realized I was working with a bunch of hacks and drunks and what finally broke the camels back was learning about the licensing procedures in my state.
They were lying to make about what they could do for me and I realized I was doing the job of like 3 departments with no benefits. Thanks uncle. So I left, singed up for a refrigeration course, and I made it my mission to join a real apprenticeship.
I find a local company that trains apprentices. They promise me at the completion of the 3 month course, they’d move me from install to service. A win win I thought. I have the experience installing so make money doing that while we get our basics in service. I pass the class with an A. Get the refrigeration apprentice card. The osha, the universal epa etc.
They were never going to put me in service. I had to deal with verbal abuse, unclear communication, blame, bullying, these weird politics with coworkers, all while kissing the ass of the foremen because it’s their opinion of you that determines your raise. I’m sure a lot of you guys understand the level of rage when someone talks to you like a dog for being a literal APPRENTICE. All while accruing hours for refrigeration, but not even touching a manifold ONCE. I almost have the urge to take this up to the board of apprentices but I’m just not that kinda guy
One day, I lose it. The foreman (that isn’t even a real licensed foreman) put me to work, I was sweating, meanwhile I could literally see him and his wanna be foreman pet just milking it. And it’s been this way for a week. Smoking, talking while I and the other few that actually work sweat and they love getting the credit.
I confront him, I told him it’s bullshit, all of this is bullshit. I realized that I slid into this role where people think they could just speak to me how they want, and I’ll just do all their work. He responds well leave if you don’t like it, and here’s where I lose it: he says to me: “I’ll smack you if you speak to me like that again”
Boom.
I explode. WHO THE F- you know how it goes
Get a text from the boss later at night saying that they won’t tolerate threats and that termination is likely.
I just don’t understand what I did wrong. I came to work eager, friendly, and ambitious yet in the end, I’m always taken advantage of and thrown away at the earliest convenience. And I just suck at this fucking game they play of calling out rats but also ratting. I’m just glad I’m out.
Not giving up either. Scooping up more certificates and trying again. I’m sure there’s an honest hard working company out there. Right?? RIGHT!!?!?!

2023.05.30 15:26 strugglebus_rider My perfect pup is suddenly aggressive towards other dogs
I have a 4 year old mixed breed (mostly pitbull, husky, & lab) that I've had since she was 3 months old. She's super playful, energetic, and has never met a stranger. Up until recently, she's been great with other dogs too. Nowadays it's hit or miss. She's perfectly fine on walks, but if given the opportunity to approach another dog she's (sometimes) very vocal and seemingly initiates an encounter. It's not necessarily a fight (that's too strong), but it can go there if left unchecked. It's rapid succession barking, neck/head above them, ridge up ...if ur a dog owner, u know the drill.
Part of me thinks it's her way of wanting to play and engage the dog, but why so aggressive all of a sudden?? If the other dog is playful and gives that energy back then it's totally fine and they're playing. If the other dog is submissive, she looks like a total bully and it restricts her playtime because now it's time to go.
The odd part is she's very well socialized. She's been going to daycare 2-3x/week since she was a baby. We recently moved to the city from the suburbs, but it's been 4 months and she's well acclimated now. The only thing that comes to mind is her new day care and the potential interactions she's had there. Just a guess.
What's causing this and, more importantly, how can I stop it?

2023.05.30 14:47 NurseDiz Police appeal after dog bites horse's face (UK)
2023.05.30 14:38 patriotaki Crossing to North Cyprus with Pets?
Hi,
Is it possible to go from Southern Cyprus to North Cyprus with a dog pet?
I know the SBA police do not allow pets, but there are borders without the SBA checkpoint.
As a tourist with a pet, do I have the chance to visit North Cyprus and come back to the Southern (Greek) part?
PS: Dog has all the necessary documents to travel (passports, micro chips, etc.)

2023.05.30 13:56 Nixght_ I dont know if I have DPD
LONG POST AHEAD
Its gonna be months before I can get any kind of mental help (there's a long wait time, apparently) so right now all I can do is sit and rot with my thoughts And I CANNOT stop thinking about DPD. So I thought, hey, while im waiting, lets get other opinions.
I can't tell if this is the missing puzzle piece, if this is what has been Wrong with me this whole time
I have diagnosed GAD and Autism. For the first 12 years of my life, I lived in a neglectful home. Dad (who is also autistic and socially awkward) is distant, mother was an alcoholic who spent her time passed out on the couch
I do not remember my childhood, those are the only facts I know. At 12 years old I was taken out of that house to live with my sister, who became my guardian. I lived there until I was 22.
My sister was both abusive and overly protective. Would get worried if I went out when it was dark or if I bought stuff she didnt know about, while also screaming in my face every day about how useless I am and how she hates living with me lol
I dont remember much of my teen years either, so I dont know when it started. But for as long as I can remember I've had this ingrained thought that I cannot care for myself, I need other people to care for me. If I were ever alone, I would die
It was pretty much drilled into my head for years too, by the people I lived with. I lived like a child until I was 22. Being talked down to, constantly ordered (not asked) to do chores, having my entire life dictated by my sister, having to ask to do things like go to the corner shop
Being autistic, and also nonverbal, and also 5'0 with a babyface, I went through school with everyone treating me like a 12 year old even at like, 17. At home I would also be treated like im mentally 12
I guess it got so drilled into my head that along the way I just accepted this. I believed I couldnt fend for myself if I didnt have my guardians, I believed I was lower than other people. I believed I was mentally 12. I was a doormat in that house, I would be screamed at for every little thing and I wouldnt say a word. For a whole decade, I lived like that
Whatever I wanted to do, Did Not Matter. What everyone else wanted me to do was what mattered. There was only obeying, no arguing
So here's what caused me to believe I may have DPD. I found someone online. We became friends, we talked every day. I developed a crush. She was very gentle and understanding when nobody else in my life was. She would make sure Im okay, she would reassure me its not my fault.
Whenever I accidentally hurt myself I would show her immediately, because she would comfort me and tell me how to look after the wounds
Little things like her showing me how to open an umbrella felt almost euphoric. Sometimes I felt the urge to purposefully dumb myself down, to pretend I didnt know things so other people would care for me and show me (Most of the time I just genuinely didnt know how to do said things lol, but I would sometimes take advantage and exaggerate)
I developed separation anxiety. I would get severely anxious whenever she was offline for long periods of time. I had a HUGE fear of abandonment (and I couldnt figure out where this came from, because nobody had abandoned me before) to the point where it was debilitating. I would ruminate on these thoughts of abandonment all day every day. She would have to reassure me she loves me and wouldn't leave a LOT. She didnt mind doing it. She has mental illnesses too, she understands
I was so clingy, she was all I could think about. I was open about my separation anxiety and clinginess.
I relied on her, the thought of losing her was my biggest fear. I fully believed I could not live without her.
She became what I jokingly called a "budget caretaker", and I panicked about this a lot even when she repeatedly reassured me she didn't mind.
Obviously, while she wasnt dependent on me like I was on her, the love wasnt one sided. If she was ever upset I would drop everything to listen and be there for her. I spent a LOT of money I worked hard to make from art on birthday gifts for her. I would send a good morning message every day and tell her how much I love her.
Everything I did, I did for her. She tells me she likes how I look in certain clothes, I get that stuck in my head and I will impulsively buy more, Just to take pictures in them to show her. I have to tell her everything, what Im doing at any moment, from eating to drawing to tidying. Everything I did was worthless if she wasnt there to witness it
Things like her off-handedly suggesting a get a desk for my room, and me months later being so excited to show her I followed her suggestions despite her probably not remembering she suggested it
She suggested food to buy that would be good for me, and I bought it just to show her I bought it, and I never ate it. If we disagreed on anything, I would panic. We usually have the same opinions on everything so in the rare case we didnt it felt like my world was ending. I would back down, seeing her opinion as more important, and I would immediately try to turn it into my opinion, changing my feelings on the topic to fit hers
I never once saw her get angry or upset with me, but it was one of my biggest fears
The anxiety attacks Id have over the thought of her leaving me left me miserable and suicidal. I hated being this way. I hated that she had to witness that. I hated that I always needed her to look after me.
This weird people pleaser attitude is something ive always had. I chalked it down to an inferiority complex, inherently seeing other people's opinions as worth more than mine. Or assuming everyone around me is smarter, and if I had a clashing opinion I was the black sheep and I had to change it to fit in
Changing opinions is something I can do easily, unless its something im VERY passionate about, or something that will Never be up for debate (abuse, bigotry, etc). I also chalked this up to me being gullible? Im not sure
It's a bit weird, because with this online friend it's the first time I'd ever felt equal to another human being. I didnt feel like she was above me, but also I would want her to look after me? In times of anxiety or distress I'd feel smaller and she would comfort me, and it made the distress worth it
Once I got bitten by my sisters dog and I genuinely didn't care because my sister was nice to me during that time when she . Did the bare minimum (stop yelling at me, take me to the doctors, be a little nice to me)
I left my sisters house, something I never thought I could do. I did it because my online friend would be proud of me. My separation anxiety worsened that day, because it was such an extreme event I could not be alone without feeling nauseous
The only reason I could leave was because I had my brother, who offered to let me live with him. And my brother immediately became someone who would take care of me. He takes me places I dont feel I can go myself, he takes on responsibilities like my bank account or signing me up for counselling, he makes sure I eat, etc
If I didnt have him, I would've never left my sister.
My online friend cut me off 2 and a half months ago (nothing I did, she cut all her friends off for mental health reasons) and it has been the worst months of my life. I have this constant desperation to get her back, I cannot see myself living a happy life without her. I know she's moved on from me. But I cannot. I feel like I need her. I sit here and wait every day like a lost puppy for her return I sometimes want to find someone else, but the thought of starting over and the thought of it not being her, who I loved with everything I had for over a year, deters me
A little while after she left I had arm and chest pain and fully believed I was having a heart attack (I wasnt). I wasnt anxious because I went to her DMs and told her this and her simply asking "are you ok" filled me with such euphoria that I did not care about The Situation
I can be alone as long as I know I'm not Alone alone. Like, I like being alone in my room as long as my brother is in the house in a different room. Or I can be alone in my room as long as I know that I can talk to people online whenever I want (I have other online friends, but we are not close)
I actually run a Discord server, but I rely on my mods to make decisions and changes, and allow them to do whatever they want. Its a small server and the only active members are friends who would never break the rules or argue, so its easier. But before it was chill like this there were some bumps in the road, where we had to ban some people and I panicked the whole time and just thanked God that my mods were with me because I couldnt handle it on my own
And sometimes I find myself thinking, can I post this in this channel? Is this weird to say? Is this allowed in this server? It never fully connects that its MY server that I OWN
I struggle to make decisions a lot. I'd get yelled at a lot because Id reply "I dont know" for everything and I'd let others decide for me. For example, with dinner. My guardians would make me dinner even at the age of 22, and Id share it with my 7 year old nephew. We lived like there were only a few years between us
OH i just remembered when I was 14 I allowed one of my biggest bullies to become my boyfriend because he became nicer to me and admitted he liked me LMAO
At 17 I had another bf, but I allowed him to bring another person into the relationship even when I didnt really know this person, and we were a poly relationship . I dont remember anything really, I dont remember how we fell apart
The relationship with the online friend I talked about was the very first time I felt wholeheartedly loved. The first time I felt empathy and unconditional love for another person.
For me, I HAVE to have people to talk to at all times. Romantic, platonic, I dont care. Me and this person, we didnt care about labels (well, I did at first, but she didnt, so therefore I didnt either) I need to feel loved and nurtured. I've learned I can get that with very close friendships and I yearn to to be close to people constantly. I need what I had with her back
Another thing ive noticed is that whenever Im alone I pretend people are watching me. I live life as if Im in a video and Im being watched, so therefore what im doing at that moment matters. I chat away to these nonexistent people , acting as if Im recording a video or Im live or something. And even THEN im a people pleaser!!!! I get worried that these nonexistent people will judge what they see on my screen, or will judge what im doing, and I justify it to myself so they wont think im weird
Obviously these people dont exist. There's no voices or anything, I know im not being watched. I know im talking to myself. Its so normal to me that I never considered it until now I also do this to show off hobbies. I love pretending people are watching videos with me of hobbies or interests nobody else would realistically ever give a shit about. Its nice.
I will never be independent. I cannot. The thought of living alone, existing without other people feels like looking in an alternate universe.

2023.05.30 12:31 ladymaggpie My dog got in two fights in a row
Context: my husband and I live in Turkey (we're foreigners there) last year we adopted a mix- bully breed dog here. Her name is Luna. She's been spayed (as is the law here for her breed), friendly, playful, and (relatively) well trained. She wants to play with or atleast greet every single dog she sees.
There's only one dog park near us (it's new) and recently we've been taking her there to play with her best friend, another bully dog named Zeus(male).
Today, when we took her to play with Zeus, a huge female Cane corso dog got territorial amd jumped on our dog and started a fight. Luna fought back but she was mostly on the ground since the other dog was much larger. We seperated them and the Cane Corso owner took her dog away. She seemed worried that we might be mad at her, but since Luna wasn't really injured , we said it's fine. Luna got a few scratches and her dog's ear got wounded.
Since we had just got there, we let Luna play with zeus for a few minutes (like idiots). That's when the cherry on top of the crap sundae happened. The only other dog who was in the dogpark (female, medium sized, slightly smaller than Luna) and had been playing with Zeus before we arrived, started growling at Luna a couple of times. Luna ignored her and kept running around and playing, wwgging her tail. Now that I think about it, We should have leashed Luna to avoid another fight right then. We were standing very close to Luna and participating in her play, and the new dog's owner (a young man) was sitting far away on a bench.
Anyways, when the new dog (medium size) snapped her teeth at Luna, Luna got provoked and pushed het back and bit her ear, while the new dog bit her neck. Luna usually ignores this kind of aggressive behaviour, but I think she was riled up after her previous fight and she over-reacted. After Luna pushed the other dog on the ground, she got back and we grabbed her by the harness and kept her in place. The dog's owner got off the bench and started yelling at us to not bring our dog here anymore. His dog was fine, but her ear was bloody. Luna got a wounded throat.
We told the other dog parent that his dog attacked ours first, but he was still pissed off. He took his dog away to take care of her ear. We left with Luna as well, feeling terrible. Even though Luna didn't initiate any of the fights and even got mostly beaten up at the first fight, the fact is that she was in two fights in a row, leaving bloody ears all over the place, and looking like the aggressive dog who likes picking fights.
I doubt we take her there again. There are a lot of unneutered/unspayed and territorial dogs there, so chances of fights happening are high. Ans everyone is always gonna blame Luna because she's a bully breed. But I just want to know, was what happened only our fault? I think the second dog's owner should take some responsibility as well because he saw his dog growling/snapping at another dog (while said dog was just playing with her friend)multiple times and didn't do anything.
Do you think it's ok to take Luna there to socialize there if we keep her leashed? How mad would you be if your dog got a bloody ear? And finally, any advice for these situations and how to avoid/ stop fights?
