2024.06.01 10:46 Survitron118 NEED ADVICE on hairline

NEED ADVICE on hairline
Is my hairline receding I'm almost 17 and had my last haircut in march and ever since I've trying to grow out my hair(3-4 inches now). But I've noticed a very significant loss in hair on a daily basis, like according to avg 50-100 strands is okay, but I've never had that type of hairfall untill months ago. Some people say it's because my hair is too long and the type of hair loss natural for long hair(which I can't believe)
Like the last haircut was a bit messed up around the corners of the hairline so idk.
I shampoo and use conditioner on my hair once a week.
But the hairfall is very significant and annoying, not only while showering but even normally?
Would appreciate all kinds of advice.

2024.06.01 10:41 HurricaneK8 Having intense guilt over something I shouldn't, need advice

TW in advance for mentions of pet death, parental death, a huge wall of text because I'm bad at oversharing and heavy grief.
I lost my dog Lucy last September. If it's possible to have an animal soulmate, she was mine. I got her when I was 13, a little less than a year after my dad's death, and she was the only rock I had during an extremely turbulent time. I internalized my grief along with masking all of my autism struggles after I lost my dad, and having Lucy throughout that helped me so much. I'm still a mess, I'm a bigger mess without her, but she was everything to me.
My aunt knows this, and that we've always wanted to train a service dog to help me with my sensory meltdowns, anxiety episodes and PTSD. Lucy was originally adopted with that in mind, because the local place wouldn't help us since we already had a dog, but it didn't work out. My aunt knows a breeder that raises and trains poodle mixes specifically for use as service dogs (we checked, breeder's legit), and has offered to to help us get a dog from her. My anxiety is going haywire because:
1: I've never wanted a dog from a breeder and was raised to be a firm believer in "adopt, don't shop". My relationship with Lucy only solidified that. She was exactly who I needed when I desperately needed her, and I'd love to give another dog that chance.
2: My aunt has really changed the past couple of years, but in the past she's had a habit of being... overbearing. I really don't think she'd be able to have any strings attached to the dog if she turned out to still be like that, because my mother and I will REFUSE to have any names on any paperwork but ours, but I'd hate to have our relationship ruined after she's turned over such a leaf.
3: I love my immediate family to death, but we're flakes. We struggle with following through on things we start, and it only got worse after my dad died. It's been 8 months, and we have made NO progress towards getting another dog. I've been terrified that the way we are, we're just going to flake, and we'll never get another dog. I've never been without a dog in my entire life until these past 8 months. I can't do it. I cannot do it.
I want to take the offer. My brother and I had clashing meltdowns and I ended up spending an hour in the barn sobbing at 11pm because my mom had to manage my brother and I just felt so alone without Lucy to ground me. It hurts so much and I can't keep going like this. My aunt's the type that if you get the ball rolling there's no stopping her, so if we tell her yes she's going to jump on it and it's a certain thing, but I feel like an awful person. I feel like if I do say yes to the breeder, I'm cheating a dog that might be another Lucy out of the life it's supposed to have. Everyone's told me it's okay and that's not what's happening, but I'm just... stuck.
Can you guys give me an outside perspective on this? I go from feeling like it's the right decision one moment to feeling like the worst person on Earth the next. My face hurts from crying over this, and I've reached a breaking point. I just don't know what to do. It's nearly 5am and I've been crying all night.

2024.06.01 07:57 real_nice_guy Has anyone had any success modifying a 3M N95 Aura to create ear loops for things like haircuts?

Talking about this type of modification.
I have it on and it feels like as tight and snug of a fit as with the straps being normal. I need to get a haircut and can't get it done with the straps the normal way but I don't feel comfortable wearing any other type of mask.
Has anyone else done this for things like haircuts etc and it's been fine?
I've watched this video already so was just looking for anecdotal stories.

2024.06.01 06:03 333cupid my dad doesn't care about me but i just can't stop getting angry

(SPELLING ERRORS AHEAD AND ALSO NO PUNCTUATION SORRY IN ADVANCE) i (17m) am just so angry at my dad cuz he makes promises and doesn't go through with them like he'll say oh let's go do something then he'll just stop responding. i just don't feel like caring about it but feelings just don't disappear like that ill give examples of how he'll just not do anything and just forget about me or cancel plans he said he was going to pick me up and take me to a family Christmas thing the whole month of November hyping me up about it then nothing. he also said he was going to give me something Christmas but i hit him up Christmas day told him merry Christmas also i sent him my Cash app then nothing radio silence then i sent again once the 26th and 27th of December nothing. i let that go. i cried about it all night while my mom held me and it wasn't about not getting anything it was the fact i never got a text back or even get acknowledged like he posted a picture on Facebook of him and his other 2 sons ( not my mom's kids ) and captioned merry Christmas from my children and didn't even give us a merry Christmas or nothing i just feel like I'm not cared about or I'm not even a thought in his head. i just graduated maybe 1 week ago and 2 weeks before that he said he wanted to go and my mom told him the time and the day of graduation it got moved up 2 hours and my mom sent him a text notifying him 2 hours before and then his brother sent him and text too so i didn't worry about it. and then later on when graduation ends and everyone gets on the field what do i see not my dad. and not even a congratulation text or a drop by my house afterwards nothing not even a good job text nothing. but that day i had a feeling about him not showing up so i didn't really feel anything about it but the sad fact about that is the fact my sister's fiance's mom showed up only meeting me 2 times and gave me a card with writing telling me I'm going to do great things which is so sweet of her. but he never gives me anything heartfelt or anything. and the crazy thing is i don't want much i just want to be loved and just treated like a son i just want a hug or even a I'm proud of you that would genuinely make me so happy or even a text every 2 months checking on me anything. and from what i know he spends a lot of time with my other 2 brothers i went to Facebook its so many pictures with them and everything but none of me. i just want to cry and curl up into a ball. i forgot to mention i texted him the day after graduation cuz he told me he was going to give me something the day i graduated and i wanted to know if i was going to get it cuz i was starting college soon but now i really am not in the right head space to go cuz I'm not stable enough but back to it i sent text saying this verbatim " hey i know u weren't at graduation the least u can do is as a gift give me 500 cause I'm starting college soon" i know it sounds insensitive as flip but after 10 years of someone not being an active father what do u expect and also he told me if i needed anything to text him and the fact I'm dealing with this at 7 and up should grant me the reason to speak to him any way i want pretty much. and then he called me and i didn't answer cuz my phone was on do not disturb then i called him back to him yelling at me telling me not to talk to him like that. i was in the car with my mom when this happened so i just put him on speaker phone he was saying things like " DONT SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT UR BLOCKING UR BLESSING AND JUST DONT SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT" and i was like i understand a lil bit then he gave me a bullshit excuse of "oh i never have my phone on me that's why i didn't notice." then he told me he had something for me to get. so that brings me to today 5/31 1 week after graduation and i text him "when do u want me to come pick it up?" (whatever he had for me) and no response and so i give him 1 hour while I'm getting a haircut and other things then i pull up to his restaurant and go in and try to talk to him but it was busy so eh. then i ask him again at 7 cuz what if he's not busy cuz he's closed and no response then i get off work and i go to the store and see his car then he sees me and doesn't talk and i just walk away cuz I'm hurt and i just bac in my moms car and I'm sad and mad then i get home and start writing this not going to lie all i wanna do is cry cuz why do i get treated like this. i guess what makes me sad is the fact he wasn't always like this after his mom died/my grandma he started acting like this but that was 10 years ago and the sad fact is she would not have stood for him treating me like this and i know that has a big impact on people but i am also his son what makes me so bad and worse than the other sons cuz he always spends time with them and also i forgot to mention I'm gay but it isn't a issue for him i hope but if that's the case he hasn't make a big deal out of it but he said he doesn't care and supports me but i don't know that's his issue but i have a loving family already i just want to let him go I've wrote in my google docs 2 letters i want to give him but yea. sorry for rambling and no type of periods or anything ion feel like editing thank you for listening or even responding

As you can see my hair is pretty clapped. This is a week after I washed it so it's to be expected and I was touching it with my hands a lot, but here are the main questions and issues I have.
  1. I don't really have a haircut. It's just grown out all over the place. I was thinking about cutting it pretty short and getting an actual haircut and then having the top part hang over the sides. is that an undercut? I've seen dudes post their curly hair and they lift up the sides and it's all faded up and clean.
  2. I rinse my hair with water every morning in the shower. The reason as to why I do this, is because when I wake up my hair is all smashed. I tried to sleep with a satin bonnet the night I washed it and it did not do shit.
  3. Why does my hair front the front look so much wider and poofed out than it does from the side? This is very strange and annoying and I want to get a haircut so I can fix this issue as well.
  4. My ultimate goal in mind is to have fairly long curly hair that covers my forehead but not as long as it is now. It's summer now and having long curly hair makes it annoying and hot at times. Additionally detangling my hair can be annoying at times. There are always microtangles in singular strands of hair even after I detangle my hair. Like this here. It's not mine and I don't even know if it's real but it looks like that but the knot is slightly smaller.
https://preview.redd.it/58bc0v3h5v3d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=98ff23c49977389cede0e3a9ea4b906d7b728599
  1. Just some insight on what I do for when I wash my hair, I rinse it in the shower thoroughly, shampoo my scalp deeply (i use a camille rose one) and use a scalp massager to get deeper in the roots, I rinse it out, apply lots of conditioner, detangle with a widetooth comb rinse deeply, then while my hair is still soaked I apply a leave in conditioner from mielle throughout my hair and then I use a camille rose gel kind of thing, then I scrunch/rub with a microfiber towl. I do not deep condition my hair and I wash my hair once a week.
  2. How do I "refresh" my hair? I don't think it's really effective with mine given the fact I don't have a set haircut. I believe my hair type is 3b with some 3c? Maybe only 3b, not sure. Just imagine buzzing your hair, letting it all grow out, and have some parts be poorly uneven because you tried to trim some parts yourself (thats what i did).
  3. What about finger coiling? I saw this dude on tiktok who would finger cil his hair like 6 months ago with the most beautiful, majestic, curly hair that I would love to achieve. It sucks because I can't find the video, but just in case anyone has it saved somehow, it had like 600k likes at the time, he was looking off into the sunset. Dudes brazilian as well and promoted skala i think
  4. For a deeper look on my ultimate goals with my hair - I want to be able to keep it long, but shorter than it is now. I don't want to be rinsing my hair with water every morning and I want to only have to refresh it 2-3x a week while it still looking nice. I want to be able to detangle my hair in only 3-4 minutes of just easy, smooth combing.
I appreciate any help.

2024.06.01 01:39 Ecstatic-Return-8019 The animal abuse is driving me crazy and making me see exactly how I've been treated my entire life

We welcomed my high energy dog into the family in 2021 February at about 6 weeks I think he was. Since then, my parents have isolated him to the point where he's never played with another dog, never gone on a walk around the neighborhood, never gone to the park, never seen anything outside the house or the backyard, or the vet. He gained a habit of jumping up and looking out the front window, I'm assuming because he's so dying to see something else. He runs in anxious unhealthy circles for hours and hours a day not drinking water, barking and snapping at his tail. He won't respond to you when he's out there. He won't even play with you, like with a toy. He'll take something he knows he's not supposed to like dirty clothes out of a basket to get attention. It's sad to watch him do this.
I trained my dog, taught him all the tricks he knows and bought him 98% of his toys. He's a german shepherd poodle mix. He's ridiculously smart and catches on so fast and has his own little personality. The dog will be playing with a toy and shortly after my dad will snatch it off the floor. His excuse why the dog can't play with toys is because of - take a guess: his big flat screen TV. He's scared the dog will hit the TV with a stuffed chew toy.
He yells and starts arguments over vacuuming the dog's hair, and even makes a huge deal about water on the floor being dripped off the dog's chin after he drinks or ice on the floor. Hours long yelling matches with my mother who doesn't even feed the dog or give him water to begin with. So it fucking feels like he's yelling at me through her and he's too much of a coward to say something to me.
He calls the dog names constantly: asshole, dummy, 'our dog's an idiot' '*insert previous dog's name* was 10x smarter than you' just talking crazy like this isn't a living being. 'motherf*cker', 'you're not part of this family'... let me explain why this is more personal than just having to witness animal abuse when I love dogs and hate and want to murder people who don't treat animals well.
I've heard my dad calling me the same names behind my back, namely an asshole. Bitch, ingrate, ungrateful, on and on. I've told the story previously, but he had a whole phase where he liked to lock me out on the back porch like he 'forgot' I was in the house or did it 'by accident'. Like he closes the door on our dog and locks it without a second thought while he goes to do his anxiety behaviors.
Also told this story about how he compared me to a dog at my brother's and his girlfriend's place when we visited. Saying that after he had locked me out of the house for the last fucking time I could take and I broke a window that, "It wouldn't have happened if I'd had her on a leash." her as in ME. Comparing me to their large great dane puppy who was outside on his leash attached to a peg using the bathroom.
Let's not forget the time I came home from work to see my dog limping in the backyard, not stopping his circles once. I ran outside and down in the yard to look at him. I came in the house and told my parents he was limping. My dad's like, "he's still limping? he was limping hours ago." I was furious and I got the dog to stop limping circles and come up into the house with barely any help from my dad to grab a bag of ice, inspect his hurt paw and leg to see if I could see an object stuck or anything and rest the ice on his leg. I was looking up why a dog would limp like that, if there was any health cause or if he just fell up the stairs to the deck or something outside. And my dad's like: "He's just a dog." Like what are you doing all that for? "He'll be fine." The same type of treatment I got when I was visibly ill, distressed, or showed anything negative was going on with me.
It just pisses me off. There have been so many times where I felt sorry for our dog and wanted to open the gate and push him loose. And many times I thought about called the animal people to take him away and put him up for adoption somewhere. I feel powerless to defend myself, and powerless to defend an innocent animal selfishly brought into this mess.
The isolation, the name-calling, the locked out and forgot about, the nonchalant attitude about visible injury, the running in circles anxiety behaviors... I'm exactly like my dog. And I can see the clear effect of this type of abuse playing out on another living being and it destroys me daily.

2024.06.01 00:49 Deer-Diary My[30f] husband[31m] became good-looking and confident last year and now I feel insecure/jealous for the first time. How do I stop this?

My husband always told me that before we were dating, he never really got any attention from girls and was always the silent, introverted nerd guy in the room. He wasn't dressing particularly well, he didn't pay attention to his hair and overall style, it didn't bother him. He just knew he is not the type to attract girls cause he is not hot. On the contrary, I was the hot girl in every friend group we were in, and was getting a lot of attention from everyone. After we got married he told me he is very happy that he could "win" me. I was laughing those comments off, just not acknowledging that I was "that kind of huge thing" to "win". Anyway we both love each other madly and I spent years(6years or marriage) to constantly reassuring him that he is a gem, everyone would be lucky to know him, trying raising his self esteem as if it was my 2rd part time job. I never had a lack of attention in any group and I was constantly trying to bring him in to new friend groups to socialize more. He just didn't believe he can be interesting to anyone and vice versa, didn't even like the idea of meeting new people.
Until last year. He lost weight, did a corrective vision surgery, removed glasses. Made a new haircut and finally took my advice on wearing suits on many occasions - or smart casual, after seeing my reaction on the men in films who were dressed well. Since then he began to like himself in his new style, he never looked like the nerdy introvert guy anymore. He began to actively socialize with people. I was over the moon!!!
Right now for over a year we are close friends with 2 couples, the girl in one is my best friend from school( let's call he Amy). Since he changed, she pays a lot of attention to him(before he was invisible to her), when we are together in our friend group, she forgets that I also exist, all the jokes, themes, discussions evolve around him. And he is so sweet and nice to her as he is to everyone. I smile seeing him blossom in relationships, but I recently started feeling insecure in our closest friend groups. Being all my life in the center of attention in every place, and being basically invisible now is a very new thing for me and I hate myself that I'm even feeling this now, because I wanted him to be like this sooo much. And now I don't even know what I'm more sad/upset about - feeling like I lost the role of the main entertainer or seeing that other girls are basically FLIRTING with him and he cherishes the feeling of being liked(although does nothing wrong towards me, doesn't answer with flirting)?
I'm lost and I see every day how he likes being very active on group chats, entertain people and even sometimes choose to spend time in their company together with me as opposed to chilling with me at home(which he totally preferred for 6 and more years). After 2 or 3 incidents, where Amy basically snatched him from me during our double dates by being flirty/touchy, spending the whole evening talking with him while me and her husband we sitting like we weren't there, we had some conversations at home where I told my husband that I didn't like Amy's behaviour and reassured that he didn't do anything wrong. He assured me he didnt notice anything strange which I believed. Then those long talks about my feelings ended up leaving some marks and he tried to tell me he gets this uneasy feeling when meeting with them after what I said. Last night we had a fight when we were watching a movie at home and he was typing on the group chat half of the time. When I confronted him he told me I'm trying to be a controlling wife, and he does not like that. I am the girl that never experienced jealousy/envy and hates controlling people.
What do I do to understand my feeling and not build anger against Amy and not ruin our friendship? And not to fight with my husband. I'm desperate and I don't even know if this post makes sense as I'm typing it in the middle of the night, slightly drunk.Every comment is appreciated.
TLDR; my husband was the average geek with no attention from opposite sex and now he changed and gets all the attention + flirting from my friend groups while I get none(it used to be visa versa) we love each other, I adore new him, but I feel insecure, what do I do?

2024.06.01 00:27 sieyak1 Not getting booked- what am I doing wrong? LA-based

I’m fairly new to the acting world and I’m not entirely sure how to navigate it.
I started December of last year and am on Casting Networks, Central Casting, and Extras!
I get about two days a month from Extras!, once in a blue moon I’ll get something from Casting Networks, and Central Casting I’ve gotten so many availability checks but still haven’t been booked once! I’ve been feeling pretty down about all of this and have been thinking about giving up and doing a non creative job so I can afford to live.
I feel weird saying this, but I know I’m a good looking woman with a nice figure and when I show up to a job, I know exactly how to style myself for any character. I own a very nice, high-end modern wardrobe and many vintage pieces to do pretty much any decade. I really take care to look my very best and most authentic which can take hours to prep. When I get onto set, I feel like I’m trying too hard because I see that others often do not put the effort I put in (appearance, professionalism, and skill) but they’re seemingly getting booked much more often than I am. I’m always hearing about everyone’s many jobs and auditions. I’m trying so hard but why am I not getting the same?
Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s any way for my efforts to be noticed in order to get more work. People don’t get cast by their resumes or recommendations or their effort on set. There’s no way to show my dedication on Casting Networks. It might be that landing work is only dependent on my photos.
I have a DSLR but no lighting equipment- I plan to learn about lighting so I can take better shots of myself but I need money to buy umbrellas and backdrops and all of that. It has been difficult for me because I have no natural light in my living space and only one white space to take photos against outside, but it’s at an angle away from the sun, so the lighting is always abnormally unflattering and too shaded.
And then there’s the issue of wardrobe. I have so, so many options and can do pretty much any look requested. But it takes a LOT of time and effort to shoot and look perfect on the daily. And there’s so many possibilities- I’m a girl with RANGE. Should I only be posting one type of look? Or would that be selling myself short?
Should I only be doing very minimalist basic casual, everyday person sort of looks or should I show off some style? What kind of style is most appealing to casting?
Do I need to only be posting one casual, one business, one cocktail and nothing else? What do they mean by cocktail anyway? A lot of the times cocktail can mean a club dress according to costumes.
Should they be trendy or more basic?
Do I need to take down all of my other wardrobe shots because I got a haircut?
Would finding an agent be a wise decision in getting more work? Or is that too expensive?
Everyone keeps asking for an IG link but mine is a personal account I recently made public and I haven’t posted in several years. Are they asking to see my personal style or does that mean they’re hiring influencers only?
I’m not on the casting side of things so I have no idea what everyone else is uploading or doing but I feel like I’m doing it all wrong
Also- I signed up for Central Casting four months ago and haven’t gotten any work. I booked the earliest time and did not know they would be taking photos, so I don’t look great and it’s not representative of how I usually appear in public. I haven’t been able to book another time to redo them. Is casting on central casting is dependent on the in-office photos or am I just not the right fit for any projects?

2024.05.31 19:49 TwentyCharacters_Max First age and gender, then read description lol

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FVf4CQ08j7hSnwvudH9M2CaXFgHfuUo1
Link is for I think about 5 pictures, background is censored and in some there are color filters, but no other filters that alter my shape or features in any way. No make up in any of them either.
I assume by now you've seen them and probably thought of an age and gender for me, so type that out first if possible.
OKAAAY now I can say it. I'm 19, FtM, trans dude, 5'4 or 162cm and stopped growing a while ago. I don't know what to improve upon to help pass better. I'm closeted in public so my hair is long, and I tuck it under a beanie when in private/with friends or partner, so sorryzz, can't take it off. Considering this, what haircut do you suggest for my face shape, for when I can finally cut it off in a few months? I think something too short will make my face too round, and long hair is, well, long hair. Any suggestion is welcome!
I'm pre-T and pre-top surgery. Do you guys think either of those will help? Do I have any chance or is my body/face too feminine to ever pass even with medical transition? Is it over for me or nah?
My voice passes well, many many people who never seen me personally "mistake" me for a boy (euphoria!).
My body just sucks though. I'm a 26D (which the binder doesn't make flat) and a very small waist, and huuuuuge hips. Believe me or not, losing weight won't help much because I'm on the borderline between underweight and healthy weight, I've been thinner and my body was still hourglassy. I can literally feel and see my hips so my bones are just fucked up. I also tend to have thick thighs due to a genetic thing so yay I'm always losing haha (fml).
I gain muscle quite quickly, I'm just dysphoric to go to the gym because my mom insists to make the personal trainers only train my legs which... needless to say I don't need them to be any thicker. I'll definitely work out when I start T tho.

Can you guys help me with my curl type? Curlier on top/wavy-straight underneath. Looking to try new products as well. Thanks!
My hair is about medium thickness and I think medium porosity. I wash/diffuse once a week, sleep with a bonnet and on a silk pillowcase. Have used DevaCurl products for years and I really don’t like them anymore, I’m noticing a lot of frizz. I’m not looking for haircut advice - only products and help with curl type!

2024.05.31 17:11 FocusInevitable1504 [Breeds] Looking for recommendations for my next dog. I’ve worked with and loved many breeds and I’m curious which breeds others would be ideal for my lifestyle

1) Will this be your first dog? If not, what experience do you have owning/training dogs? I had a Brittany for 13 years and I currently have a 7 year old bc mix and a golden retriever puppy. I’ve also owned a pet sitter company for 7 years 2) Do you have a preference for rescuing a dog vs. going through a [reputable breeder]? If I rescue, I don’t care as much about the breed so this is specifically for an ethically bred dog. 3) Describe your ideal dog. very trainable, can hike and jump without significant limitations 4) What breeds or types of dogs are you interested in and why? *I’m only going to include breeds I’ve worked with: GSD - beautiful, trainable, focused, one of my favorite breeds to train Greyhound - quiet, relaxed, beautiful, love to watch them run (nervous for my cat) Samoyed - beautiful, soft, intelligent, generally good temperament Golden - soft, intelligent, easy to socialize Brittany - soft, intelligent, easy to socialize Pom - fun sized, beautiful, generally good temperament, intelligent Poodle - intelligent, one of my favorite dogs to train, low shedding (unfortunately I don’t like the way they look because I think they’re otherwise an op breed for me) Pembroke Corgi - beautiful, trainable, soft (their fragile back removes them from being a contender for me) Aussie - beautiful, intelligent, trainable (perhaps too intensely energetic) BC - same as aussie
5) What sorts of things would you like to train your dog to do? depends on the dog but always basic training and then I love doing tricks, agility, off-leash training 6) Do you want to compete with your dog in a sport (e.g. agility, obedience, rally) or use your dog for a form of work (e.g. hunting, herding, livestock guarding)? If so, how much experience do you have with this work/sport? I love agility but I could also do rally or no sport at all **Care Commitments*\* 7) How long do you want to devote to training, playing with, or otherwise interacting with your dog each day? A comfortable normal day for me would be 1 long walk a day and 30-minutes of play/training plus a puzzle along with a hike or beach session once a week. We’re home with the dogs 14-20 hours/day 8) How long can you exercise your dog each day, on average? What sorts of exercise are you planning to give your dog regularly and does that include using a dog park? see 7^ 9) How much regular brushing are you willing to do? Are you open to trimming hair, cleaning ears, or doing other grooming at home? If not, would you be willing to pay a professional to do it regularly? my personal grooming max would be brush once a day or an occasional ear clean but I could book grooming sessions as often as necessary **Personal Preferences*\* 10) What size dog are you looking for? any but prefer not XL breeds because of short life span :( 11) How much shedding, barking, and slobber can you handle? medium barking is fine, pretty low slobber tolerance, and low shedding would definitely be a plus but I’m used to high shedding and all of my favorite breeds are high shedders 12) How important is being able to let your dog off-leash in an unfenced area? It would be super ideal. At the very least, not a breed that is notoriously a runner **Dog Personality and Behavior*\* 13) Do you want a snuggly dog or one that prefers some personal space? I love cuddling but at least not super aloof 14) Would you prefer a dog that wants to do its own thing or one that’s more eager-to-please? definitely leaning towards eager to please or good training drive 15) How would you prefer your dog to respond to someone knocking on the door or entering your yard? How would you prefer your dog to greet strangers or visitors? anything but attack on sight. Barking is fine 16) Are you willing to manage a dog that is aggressive to other dogs? I wouldn’t prefer it and would socialize early but if something traumatic happens then I’m equipped to take care of an aggressive dog’s needs 17) Are there any other behaviors you can’t deal with or want to avoid? taking off, heavy barking even once trained and walked, extreme stubbornness **Lifestyle*\* 18) How often and how long will the dog be left alone? up to 8 hours consecutively and never more than 10/day 19) What are the dog-related preferences of other people in the house and what will be their involvement in caring for the dog? my boyfriend - heavily involved in walking, care, and constantly trying to get better at following my training instructions: same preferences as me
20) Do you have other pets or are you planning on having other pets? What breed or type of animal are they? I also have a cat 21) Will the dog be interacting with children regularly? sometimes 22) Do you rent or plan to rent in the future? If applicable, what breed or weight restrictions are on your current lease? no restrictions 23) What city or country do you live in and are you aware of any laws banning certain breeds? Florida, USA no restrictions 24) What is the average temperature of a typical summer and winter day where you live? summer average 85° and winter average 65° although we plan on moving to Colorado in a few years

2024.05.31 16:09 0_T_A_C_0_N Unhoused-ness: A Phenomenology

Any alcoholic worth their salt has a drink of preference, and such a drink is the culmination of three important characteristics. It ought to be discreet, because One doesn’t want the neighbors to catch on. It shouldn’t make One violently ill, there is much to recommend the scientific method there, and it always comes with a story. The sum is a wholly experiential connection between the alcoholic and their medicine.
0_T_A_C_0_N’s Skinny Bitch recipe: Water Bottle - Vodka – Sparkling Water – Ice (optional)
Some people will tell you that a Skinny Bitch goes well with lime, those people are part-timers. What really makes the difference is Ones choice of Sparkling Water, I suggest a lime Bubbly as a middle ground. The origin of the term, I gather, has to do with the drink’s procurement at clubs from young women looking after their weight. Nobody has ever gotten fat drinking water, and of course – the mild hangover is a perk.
I discovered the benefits of this admixture during the Summer of 2018 – it was during that season that my life as I knew it would change, first with a divorce, then financial ruin, and later – a suicide.
There are all sorts of reasons why someone might drop out of society, and in fact – that simply means not playing the game. Our makeshifts are nothing more than productive creativity which we take back into ourselves. That same creativity is otherwise spent fantasizing that we’re elsewhere, and rationalizing why we cant be there. Chief among the reasons that society hates a homeless person, it’s often told, is that they’re lazy. The irony here - they may hate this person for being lazy but they love to have an easy target.
I think that the truth of my situation was somewhere between the alcohol compounding my troubles and those troubles complicating my drinking. In any case, I spent that Summer and then the Fall riding the train with my Skinny Bitch. It wasn’t more than an hour toward the city before another homeless man called me a faggot because I wouldn’t let him use my phone, and I really felt like a faggot at that moment. I knew my way around the city park, and I progressed to sleeping there. It was adjacent to a really nice science center, which offered a free entry – so I’d use the bathroom there and nap during the IMAX documentaries.
With my funds depleting as I carved a trail in the woods between the liquor store and the Mcdonalds, I naturally grew more disheveled and my interactions with the common citizen became more confrontational. The park cops were the worst, on their stupid little golf carts. Then the other folks that lived in the park, bunch of assholes. I didn’t mind the helper-types because they typically brought sandwiches and wet-wipes. The catch, for them, was that I needed to make a change and find my way back into society – I needed an address, then I could get a job and a haircut.
In reorienting itself toward the unhoused, society would argue that such a person does indeed have a home, that they belong – but that until they’re housed, they aren’t welcome in public. Actually, they aren’t welcome anywhere. See, it’s just the sight of you. There are very few spaces where they could exist without accruing grievance. The problem then, is that all of the good hiding spaces have been taken.
Besides, the homeless are often housed, and the housed can certainly be homeless. Look no further than any refugee from any country on Earth and it’s clear that there is a difference between house and home. A house is a house if One is fortunate, but perhaps more commonly an apartment – and from there anyplace which does not directly expose One to the weather, will do. A home is a place of relational-belonging. One makes their home where they might, with who they might, and One doesn’t require housing as-such to participate in a home.
More recently, on a trip to SoCal I was witness to a homeless-encampment-removal-march. It sounds like a tongue twister but it was more like the hand of God reaching down with a broom and just sort of pushing them, yeah, right there, around the corner where… - perfect, pack them a bit tighter and – perfect. It was honest work for the State, at least things stood in the open. Now, rather than having a camp at the park, there would be a camp in the adjacent parking lot while workers clean the mess.
The Anti-Homeless Architecture Industry is a complex beast. Designed, not by intention, but at the pleasure of society – to capture all manner of natural transgression and put it under a spotlight. Living as a transient invites speculation that One isn’t well, or at least not well-adjusted. Whichever is worse depends on who’s casting the judgement. Society tends to lean more empathetically on the unwell – it’s not their fault that they can’t find a place to fit themselves, because anyone who could do that would do that. Not to be confused, those who aren’t well-adjusted might as well be criminals.
Homelessness as it stands under the present condition has been removed from it’s problem-solution function and given over to a buried tension between such an unhoused individual and the citizen. Ceteris paribus, it shouldn’t matter much whether One decides to sleep outside at night, it seems that the need for rest is met. It’s also not a complex matter for an intelligent being to muster privacy, protection and warmth - but these essential purposes in establishing a base-camp aren’t what the citizen considers in their homelessness-calculation. To be homeless means that One doesn’t have their paperwork in order, and without the proper paperwork the citizen can be sure that there is a dearth of productivity. Besides, actually being homeless is something that One can and will adjust to – but imagining what it must be like is among the most terrifying thoughts that can cross Ones mind.
It’s very much the case that having a residence where the State can reach One and deliver them mail is an essential aspect of belonging in society. The citizen cares for nothing more than to reintegrate this person into the group, to get them a job and create efficiency. One could hardly be blamed for viewing that as an improvement where the alternative is to be ridiculed, assaulted and imprisoned by those same citizens for a refusal. When every step that One takes is onto another piece of land that’s under contract, then what ought to be a simple and life-affirming act in creating a homestead has become a permission to be sought sweetly as One gently draws a circle in the dirt with their foot – hat in hand. If One needs to ask permission to be - they are homeless, indeed.
The crisis has little to do with homelessness, it’s only the product of a society where no-one has ever had experience in establishing their Own place of belonging that the most intelligent creature to ever walk the earth is suddenly incapable of creating a barrier between themselves and the cold, we see such constructions in every homeless encampment – they are not complicated, they are illegal. What’s more, the shoddy construction therein is only a manifestation of the anticipation with which they’ll be removed by the society. I’m confident that we’ve yet to see the untethered ingenuity of what One could accomplish in this place without society.
It’s a phenomenology of housing that we need to get at. What does that mean here, in the United States? It’s a conditional transaction to participate in society. Rent and taxes provide a cover for One to exist within the walls of their dwelling without the prying eyes. One doesn’t wonder what’s going on inside that apartment building so often as they question the tarp by the river. In the former, they’ve earned respect – the latter induces paranoia. The only difference between them is that whichever is under contract has been granted their permission to exist – and it comes with benefits.
There is no problem with living outside of society, except for that society weighing on the decision. It owns all of the land, even the land that this citizen might claim to own. The Egoist understands this dichotomy, there is nothing that can be given by the State which cannot be taken back through greater force. It’s especially true that the State won’t allow One to live rent free, in addition to the impossibility of constructing a rent-free dwelling, One cannot get lost at the State park, either. Between State law and local ordinances which are so broad that they encompass a ban on anything beside coming-from or going-to another place (a problem for someone with nowhere to be), there are places right now which would ban sleeping in public entirely.
It would be in accordance with gear-like nature of a citizen in a functioning society that we cannot even go back to where we came from, the outside. It’s inside where One belongs, where One goes to be forgotten, where One ceases to exist for society, and from where One emerges again to sacrifice their existence to productivity at work. We can run but we can’t escape the outside. So long as it’s only conceived of as the intermediary between work and home, and a third place if One is really lucky – then we’re imprisoned as beings which exist in such transit. Though, we’re not allowed transit in-itself, that’s a subversive concept, it implies that we have other business to attend to – and mind you, no right to attend that business without clearance.

2024.05.31 02:47 SeranaSaturniid [Breed]Looking for second opinion on breed choice and possible alternatives

Hello, we moved into a one bedroom apartment back in October that allows dogs and I am getting serious with my research as I've been wanting a dog of my own for years now! We don't plan on getting the dog until my elderly childhood cat passes, and we came into some money troubles so finding a breeder has been put on hold for the moment. While I'm kinda set on a breed, I like to do as much research as possible(maybe too much) and wanna get second opinions from people who know a little more about dogs than me ^^ While I've fallen for the breed I'm open to other options and want a dog that will fit our life style!
1)Will this be your first dog? If not, what experience do you have owning/training dogs?
* No I grew up with a shepherd/lab mix and more recently co-cared for my brothers dachshund/yorkie mix and did most of the puppy training till my brother was in his teens. I still walked the dog 1-2 times a day for 15-20 minutes and played with her.
2)Do you have a preference for rescuing a dog vs. going through a [reputable breeder]( http://ownresponsibly.blogspot.com/2011/07/identifying-reputable-breeder.html)?
* I'm mostly looking for a breeder as I want a predictable personality, health, and to make a good first impression on my gf who has never owned a dog. I'm not opposed to rescues if we can find the right dog, but most dogs in my area are banned and if not, too high of an energy like cattle dogs.
3)Describe your ideal dog.
* A small-ish(15lbs+) to medium dog(under 45lbs) that is adaptable, playful, and smart. I enjoy making my dog use their brains, and while I enjoy going out for leisurely walks I want a dog I'm able to play with indoors, especially since I don't drive and there's no where within walking distance I can take my dog to play fetch on a long lead or off lead. While I know looks arent important I also like a dog with a medium or long coat. I just enjoy maintaining a pretty coat and I miss having a long haired dog.
4)What breeds or types of dogs are you interested in and why?
*I'm very interested in the keeshonden. They seem to be everything I'm looking for, eager to please, friendly, adaptable. From what I've seen from others they are just energetic enough for my needs, can go on long hikes but also lounge when they need too. I always wanted a spitz breed and kees seem like a good beginner sptiz, and breed in general. Only thing I'm worried about is the barking, they can be real barkers from what I hear. I don't mind alert barking as long as the dog can be calmed down after a few woofs, but I'm unsure how easy it is to calm a kees down after alerting. I also had an interest in pomeranians but they seem more fragile which is how I found out about the keeshond.
5)What sorts of things would you like to train your dog to do?
* The basics sit, stay, come, etc. I'm very interested in trick training as well(not the sport, just for fun). I enjoy having dogs use their brains!
6) Do you want to compete with your dog in a sport (e.g. agility, obedience, rally) or use your dog for a form of work (e.g. hunting, herding, livestock guarding)? If so, how much experience do you have with this work/sport?
* just a companion for the moment
**Care Commitments**
7) How long do you want to devote to training, playing with, or otherwise interacting with your dog each day?
* around 2 hours at the least. I work from home, and the dog will be the only animal I can actually cuddle for a while after my cat passes. My life will kinda revolve around my dog so I intend on spending a lot of time with it.
8) How long can you exercise your dog each day, on average? What sorts of exercise are you planning to give your dog regularly and does that include using a dog park?
* between 1-2 hours, I was use to walking my brothers dog about 15-20 every 4-6 hours and planned on picking up a similar schedule but longer outings. thinking 20-30 minutes. I don't have the best physical health and we live on the third floor with no elevator so may have shorter walks on my off days. I'm happy playing indoors and want to check out a couple local dog parks for of leash play! I hope to go out for longer walks/play at the minimum once a week.
9)How much regular brushing are you willing to do? Are you open to trimming hair, cleaning ears, or doing other grooming at home? If not, would you be willing to pay a professional to do it regularly?
* I'm happy to do regular grooming and take it in to professionals when needed. I also like learning new skills and have some unused/still in the box shavers I'd like to learn how to use if I get a dog with hair!
**Personal Preferences**
10)What size dog are you looking for?
* a small-ish to medium size, think over 15lbs and no larger than 50lbs. I personally don't want them too small as I worry about them being too fragile for what I wanna do with the dog.
11) How much shedding, barking, and slobber can you handle?
* I grew up with a double coated dog and live/ed with fluffy heavy shedding cats. I'm fine with lots of shedding! Barking I can handle to a point. I don't like dogs that bark for hours nonstop, but alert barking with the ability to calm down is fine and I like talky animals(live with a very talky cat atm) just don't want them to be ear piercing loud. I can't handle drooling at all though.
12) How important is being able to let your dog off-leash in an unfenced area?
* While I want to bring the dog to off leash parks and play in my parents yard, its not important to me. I'm fine if the dog can only be on leash.
**Dog Personality and Behavior**
13) Do you want a snuggly dog or one that prefers some personal space?
* More snuggly, don't mind a dog that wants some personal space but I like cuddling on the couch or in bed.
14) Would you prefer a dog that wants to do its own thing or one that’s more eager-to-please?
* Closer to eager to please, I'm fine with some independence though.
15) How would you prefer your dog to respond to someone knocking on the door or entering your yard? How would you prefer your dog to greet strangers or visitors?
* Give me some alert woofs, let me know there's people here but is calm and friendly once it knows its safe/ I give it the okay.
16) Are you willing to manage a dog that is aggressive to other dogs?
* no, I already had to deal with one. I rather not again, especially as I wanna bring this dog out.
17) Are there any other behaviors you can’t deal with or want to avoid?
* not much I can think of that aren't trainable like other than high prey drive to the point of lunging on a lead, but that may be a training issue too.
**Lifestyle**
18) How often and how long will the dog be left alone?
* at most a couple hours every couple weeks for grocery shopping, the most would be when I'm out with family but I wouldnt leave the dog alone for more than an hour or 2 as a puppy. I work from home and a major homebody, I more worry about separation anxiety.
19) What are the dog-related preferences of other people in the house and what will be their involvement in caring for the dog?
* My partner will share in the work, do at least one walk before and after work. She has no experience with dogs though so she the only requests she has is good on a lead, able to take it out with us, aka trainable and she doesn't want a dog with a wiry coat due to texture issues, doesn't want a poodle or anything with a tight curly coat for same reason.
20) Do you have other pets or are you planning on having other pets? What breed or type of animal are they?
* I have exotics, mostly invertebrates with plans on getting a leopard gecko in the future. We'd like to get another cat in the future as well so its important to me to have a low prey drive so that rules out greyhounds.
21) Will the dog be interacting with children regularly?
* no
22) Do you rent or plan to rent in the future? If applicable, what breed or weight restrictions are on your current lease?
* We rent an apartment and plan to for awhile, has breed restrictions for most bully and mastiff breeds, gsd, huskies, malamutes, chows and akitas so that rules out a vast majority of rescues. Weight limit is 75lbs.
23) What city or country do you live in and are you aware of any laws banning certain breeds?
* I live in Michigan, my city doesn't have any last I looked.
24) What is the average temperature of a typical summer and winter day where you live?
* winter is typically between 15F-25F with summer being around 80F, with 90s at the peak over the last few years. I pretty much live with the AC on in the summer though.
**Additional Information and Questions**
25) Please provide any additional information you feel may be relevant.
* I'm gonna be real, I'm not the most active person and have gotten lazier since moving now that I don't have a dog to walk. I'm hoping for a dog to get me out more and help with my confidence like our last one. I'm a short young women with an anxiety disorder so naturally anxious about going out alone, without my partner. Its something I'm actively working on for health reasons, and hope to have somewhat fixed by the time we get the dog(or the puppy is old enough) But something to keep in mind cause I wanna be realistic about this.
Feel free to ask me any questions ^^

2024.05.31 02:08 ConsequenceHefty8110 loneliness but don't want to socialize

can you relate to that?
i've kind of stopped contact with everyone but like 2 friends, who i talk to every other day, and my grandma whom i talk to everyday.
the reason i stopped talking to a bunch of people (more than 15 over the past year) is because i grew out of them or i can't tolerate them anymore for various reasons.
however, the thing is that even when i like a person a lot, it feels like i get consumed by them. so i actually stopped looking for relationships as well, i have no fantasies of getting into a relationship anymore.
i am afraid to start talking to new people everyday because if i get attached to them they will be in my thoughts more and more, and i won't be able to focus on the things i want to accomplish, which i already have trouble doing. also, of course i fear that i might get betrayed or be too vulnerable and get hurt, because it happened too many times now and i am tired of that.
but it gets lonely sometimes when i want to share things to someone, or go somewhere together, just do things together.
but even aside from the attachment stuff, i am not in a good place mentally (depression) to keep up talking to people. like i may be craving socializing right at this moment but thinking of someone texting me or being next to me kind of fills me with dread. it feels like when you wabt to play a video game but you jusy can't because you don't feel mentally ready.
i feel like i do good at getting people to like me on a surface level, but on a deeper level it gets really hard to relate to anyone or connect. i really think it has to do with depression because i don't really feel excited for anything, even when i am out shopping i dont feel happy that i can afford something because most of the time i don't want it. instead i wish i had someone to gift it to since i love giving gifts.
i feel like i live through other people's happiness, i don't have much happiness of my own. i bought my friend an expensive gift she was really grateful for, it's the same kind of gift i would've loved to get back then but i was too broke then. i can get it for myself now but i don't see a point since i will not feel much about it now. so i just get gifts for others to live through them.
i am the type of person that donates to needy and helps people but also wants to be seen as 'nothing' and be invisible. like if i have people make fun of me i don't feel contempt towards them and i don't feel sadness. i am at a point where i want to not be noticed because i have a fear of if someone likes me too much and knows too much about me but in a creepy way not a friend way. so i try to look really ugly (bad haircut, bad clothes) on purpose so people don't care about me in public. im at a point where i don't feel insecure just because i really do fear getting any type of good expectations put on me. i just want to do what i want to do while being invisible.

2024.05.31 00:08 bootypastry I've blocked her on everything and she still won't leave me alone

I haven't spoken to my mother in just over a year. I was diagnosed with CPTSD and she would not accept that she was a cause of it. This made her angry enough to hit and try to spit on me, among other things, and I told her to never talk to me again.
Ofc she said the same thing. Never speak to her blah blah blah. I blocked her number. Few weeks later, she tried contacting me through Facebook, blocked her. Same with snapchat. Then she sent me emails. "I miss you. Let's do therapy" type shit and I just ignored them. Then she sent one that said "I'm sorry you feel like I gave you ptsd" and I finally blocked her on everything.
Few months ago, my front door buzzed. She was there, dropping off gifts. "It's your mother!" I yelled "NO", hung up, unblocked her number and texted her that she has 2 minutes to leave before I call the police, then blocked her again.
I live above the place I get my haircut. My mom introduced me to the guy and he's good. I went in today, and when I sat down, he told me "Your haircut was taken care of today." with a big smile. He told me that my mom was there the day before and he mentioned I was coming. So she bought my haircut because it was her "birthday".
I kinda just needed a second to process it. Then I asked him to please not mention me around her anymore. He was understanding, so no worries there. I ended up telling him that I still want to pay for my own haircut. He said he would return her money, and I told him he can do whatever he wants with the money.
I just broke up with my gf and I don't really have any friends to voice how frustrated this makes me. I literally just want to be left alone, but every few months I get some kind of "message" from her. I just wanna forget about her, ya know? My life has improved exponentially without her in it.
