2024.05.20 07:31 Beneficial_Cry2895 Neighborhood Watch Is Gangstalking
Hello, posting this to help people out who don't know what's going on.
When I first figured out I was being watched by these people I would try my best to avoid them and take side streets and nature paths in order to learn the extent I was being followed.
Turns out many many people, it seems like most people are apart of Neighborhood Watch and very few people were not invited.
My family and friends are apart of neighborhood watch and refuse to talk to me about it I don't know why. Well, they aren't my family and friends anymore because real friends & family don't do that.
I was told by someone who works for CSIS how to get off the watchlist here's how you do it:
Don't look suspicious, don't act paranoid, don't be negative or aggressive, don't do crime, live a normal life and pretty much just ignore it. Work your job, have a normal routine and stop associating with certain people in your life who might be a criminal.
Sounds odd because I've been getting stalked by these people since I was 13 but that was during a period where I was being bullied by people in my school immensely so that might have gave Neighborhood Watch an incentive to watch me in order for my protection.
Anyway not to talk too much about myself here... If you live your life for a long time, and I mean a long long time Neighborhood Watch and the Feds who are the mastermind behind this see that there is nothing going on with you they'll move on and stop watching you.
Right now, you're where the money's at. For whatever reason there's an incentive to watch you and that gives them a reason to do their job, write reports etc and gives them a reason to justify the surveillance and when these numbers where people are being watched they will be able to justify to courts why the need more funding for this type of surveillance.
I've been attacked by people on Neighborhood Watch many many times and have been set up several times to get arrested for crimes I didn't do. I've been set up so many times and it's all so they can justify why they need to watch me.... It's all BS they don't want to let me go, they want to aggravate me, harass me, stalk and attack me in order to keep me in a alert, panicked, negative and spiteful frame of mind in order for them to get me to retaliate and justify the surveillance for them in order for them to fill out reports to use in the courts so they can keep their numbers high, increase their fundings which will increase their pay, yadayadaya.
Stay out in the open, because they look for ways to attack and harass you in ways you'll have a hard time proving that they're doing that because these people are afraid of getting caught and are afraid of the police.
I've pissed off so many of these people by playing their game back (nothing illegal) and I've watched them get pissed off, yell at me, walk around me trying to find anything they can use to get back at me and what stops them is that they are in public and on camera, or other stalkers who WILL snitch on them are watching their move too because there are good, good and naive and ignorant stalkers who will snitch on their own stalkers if they see anything they do that's wrong. I've had stalkers snitch on other stalkers and tell the police that someone attacked me and that person got arrested and I doubt they're still on the Neighborhood Watch anymore.
I believe it's a CIA program at it's core trying to hurt people, manipulate people, behavior modify people whatever it is that CIA is known to do in the past I believe they're still doing it through Neighborhood Watch.... Mass shooters are on the rise and I believe CIA might be experimenting on people in ways where they can get away with it, just like how Neighborhood Watch people are trying to stalk you and harass you in ways they can get away with it and make it hard for you to prove it's happening.
Basically stay in the open, try your best not to retaliate, keep a normal routine and don't do anything illegal or shady and they'll see that nothing is going on with you over a LONG time and they'll move onto someone else. The person who works for CSIS told me that they'll come back and check up on you again, and again, a few times until they finally stop so keep that in mind. The stalkers are also getting stalked occasionally but they aren't away, like we are.
The best way to spot these stalkers is if they have their phone out and the phone camera is pointed at you these people always have their phone out, and earphones in their ear sometimes they'll keep it in one ear and sit on a bus or somewhere or walk by you with the other ear faced to you showing nothing's in their ear meanwhile they got an earpod often times in the other ear on the side not faced to you.
They'll show you if you confront them that they aren't recording you or that they don't have their voice call/face time up but they're able to minimize it or close it, then turn it back on when you aren't looking, I promise you they are face timing someone and that person who is face timing you is screen recording everything.
Ignore the posts about freemasons, illuminati, all that stupidness it's THEM trying to discredit people from speaking out and make us all sound crazy it's simply Neighborhood Watch and CIA/CSIS/NSA that's behind all of this, but the people on foot they're all Neighborhood Watch and they get paid by Patreon, it's all volunteer work some of them do get paid but it's from donations for example, some neighborhood watches have everyone donate $5 a month and pool it all together and these people get paid mcdonalds, or gift cards, and the extreme stalkers can up to $300 a week or more depending on how often they're stalking.
The intelligence agencies do recruit people from time to time, but most of the time, like 98% of the time it's simply Neighborhood Watch and disinformation assholes online trying to confuse everyone about what's actually going on.
Keep spreading the word, it's simply Neighborhood Watch and the Federal Intelligent Agencies behind all of this.... maybe you hit their radar for whatever reason just don't give them an incentive to watch you anymore like I said earlier and you'll be fine and remember, the stalkers occasionally get stalked too so don't take it personal and if you're dealing with bad neighbors harassing you maybe find legal ways to piss them off but legal, nothing illegal for example... crank up your music full blast (provided it's not past the legal limit) and put it up towards your ceiling or something like that.
Also.... one more important thing to tell you.
Some of these guys can see through your walls right? Yeah, I'm very familiar with this.
Look up the device called VAYYAR.... It allows people to see through the ceiling, the floor and the walls and it's very cheap this is the sort of device they use to spy through the walls and also please check your outlets because I had a pinhole camera in my washroom very nasty stuff they did to me but I want to spread the word because I wanna help anyone I can out there.
For police who try to suggest mental health problems, simply say you aren't a danger to yourself and others, and don't say you're mad or violent or anything negative just keep it simple and they'll have nothing they can use to apprehend you and put you in a mental hospital because some of them who know what's going on usually the supervisors want to make you scared and shut you up but I'm not a conformist not in the slightest and neither should you be.... Stand up for yourself we're dealing with evil vigilantes who are told propaganda about us in order to get them to sometimes hate us and they feel justified in doing what they're doing to us.
There's many ways to legally piss people off just in case your case is severe and you're dealing with people who are maliciously trying to hurt you and get away with it, and no cops are helping you. I've seen cases where they were jumping on someone's tiny home at night and throwing eggs at someone's house, or meeting someone where there's no cameras and assaulting their target and running off and cops don't help that person it's terrible and you don't need to put up with that so I'll tell you some tips:
Take a picture with your flash on and let them know you took a picture of them. Sometimes they'll get right in front of you and/or yell at you.... it's just them trying to intimidate you into stopping but they will not and cannot touch you because they know other stalkers are watching this go down, or cameras are in the area do not be intimidated even if it's a big scary looking person if you know they're a stalker then do not be intimidated at all it's all BS trust me, they will not touch you, and in the odd case they do press charges and get that stalker the jail time they need and file a lawsuit against that person and get paid if you can but 99.99% of the time they will not touch you, they'll only act like they will.
Don't take pictures of any children or teenager follows or harassing you, especially since they're children just accept that they've been duped and if they're actually breaking the law though and you can prove it, like if they're harassing you then video tape of course and protect yourself but only if you can prove it 100%
Be careful with taking videos and pictures, because sometimes they are recording you and won't stop or react as you're doing it and then they'll post what you're doing on their Facebook, Twitter, instagram, snapchat, youtube or wherever else even Discord and will frame you as a weirdo even though they are so be careful.
If you're walking by, no one's going to blame you for being a Klutz and accidentally step on their shoes or toes, I mean, things happen right?
Or if you have a water bottle you bought from the store and the lid is hard to open, no one is going to blame you if you accidentally open the water bottle and your arm flings to the side with the bottle in hand and you end up splashing one of them in the faces.
No one is going to blame you, if you have a coffee in your hand and you trip and you spill it all over them, or if you walk by and your heavy bag hits them in the head, I mean these are all accidents and no one can blame you for it just make sure you're not doing it on purpose ;)
They want to play their game, well there are ways we can play this back. We don't have to be as careful anymore when it comes to being considerate, or being mindful of where peoples feet are on the bus or subway, or wherever we no longer need to be mindful just don't do anything on purpose ;) and you're all good.
If you're being tailed by a stalker and cops won't listen to you.... Go to a side street at night as you're being stalked and while this is taking place, have in your trunk some big thick and possible sharp gravel or rocks in a bag and dump them all over the road where you know your stalker will be driving... lets say they drove past you... They'll take a U-Turn and drive back, so dump it wherever you know they'll be coming and say F them and their tires, they shouldn't be stalking you anyway.
I'll try to make more posts in the future if i can but I believe the Mods on this subbreddit are the ''Gangstalkers'' and they are controlling what is put out there so in case this post doesn't even make it, I'll simply just PM everyone on a day to day basis with this information instead and I'll make my own subreddit and PM everyone to join that one if the Mods feel like playing that game by censoring true and helpful information.
This is how things are right now the World isn't perfect. You're not the only one, bad people are in this World don't take it personal. Find God, find Spirituality find something meaningful and don't let anyone take that away from you be strong.
Good luck.

2024.05.20 07:30 Lord_PanDA_ 5 Ways to Set Sleep Timer on Fire TV Devices
 | I’ve always loved falling asleep to my favorite shows, but it’s a bit annoying when they keep playing all night. submitted by Lord_PanDA_ to FixFireTVSticks [link] [comments] If you're using a Firestick or another Fire TV device, here's a handy guide I found that goes through practical solutions tested by myself with my Fire TV Stick 4K & Fire TV Cube.

How Do I Know If My Fire TV Device Has a Sleep Timer? Which Fire TV Device Has the Sleep Timer?Some Fire TV devices have a built-in sleep timer. To check, long-press the Home button on your Fire TV remote and look for "Sleep Timer" in the Quick Menu. If you only see a "Sleep" option, your device doesn’t have a sleep timer.5 Alternative Methods to the Sleep TimerEven if your Fire TV device doesn’t have a native sleep timer, there are several other ways to set one up using your TV’s settings, apps, or external devices.

2024.05.20 07:26 After-Butterfly4480 A rant
I’ve only finished first year and I know I’ve got a lot of time ahead of me to even start complaining, but I just want to talk to people who have been in the same place, please no judgment :)
I’m going into second year of life science now, and I ended first year with a good GPA. I have good ecs and I know if I put my mind to it I can get a decent score on the MCAT. But it feels like it’s never enough in this system. I’m on my summer break now and all I can think about is med, and how to set up a study schedule for the mcat that I’ll take next summer, and backup plans for if I don’t get in, and ways to improve my ecs. I often find myself forgetting to enjoy the summer I have because I’m spending so much time worrying about the future. I’m doing so much work and putting in so much effort for the small small chance of it paying off. I feel like the medical school system in this country deprives us of so much living. I keep scouring this subreddit 24/7 and I’m seeing people on their 4th, 5th, 6th… cycles who still haven’t gotten in yet even though they really do deserve to, and it makes me wonder why I think Ill have it better than them and that I’ll get in after only 1 or 2 cycles. I’m also so tired of the constant feeling of competition. I’m not making it a competition but it’s impossible not to feel it as such when you’re surrounded by friends who have the same goal, it’s a constant feeling of doubt. It’s like what you’re doing is never enough. When I do end up trying to take a break, I feel an overwhelming sense of guilt that I’m not studying or doing something to gain more ecs, and even my parents get mad at me for always stressing myself out and not being able to slow down and care for myself, but I don’t know what to do. I know that I’m not the only one that feels this but honestly, it’s so hard. I feel like my life has turned into a long marathon where I don’t see the finish line, and it’s exhausting. I want this so bad but it might not even be possible with the way the med school system is set up in this country.
Anyways, I just wanted to speak what I felt, feel free to use the comment to rant as well or give advice :)
TLDR: IM TIRED

Hello, Where I live its pretty hot so I was wondering if I really do have to wear long sleeve shirt to my first time paintballing. I was also wondering how much paintballs stain. Are they easy to wash off? Will it stain the car on the ride home? Also, should I wear my boots or is just sneakers OK?
Edit: I was planning to wear an old black T shirt and an old set of camo pants.
Thx

2024.05.20 07:23 Salt_Slip_3186 Tired of judgmental very opinionated family members.
So I have 3 boys in all & the youngest 2 are biracial & they have BEAUTIFUL curly hair. My 2 year old absolutely HATES getting his hair done or even someone atleast running their hands through it, he will scream. However, I don’t have any issues with it I remember very well on how it feels to get your hair done as a child so it takes some getting used to. Well, my sister & mother thinks otherwise. EVERYTIME I see them, they’re always saying how I NEED to cut their hair constantly sending me kids haircut styles shit like that. My sister is the most outspoken, judgmental, opinionated woman I’ve ever met & no exaggeration, EVERYTIME she sees my children the FIRST thing that comes out of her mouth is I need to cut it. Today, we were at a bbq at my moms house & I walked in, set the babies down on the couch and the first thing she says after looking at my 2 year old is “ugh why is everybody growing their boys hair out” mind you, my sons hair is freshly / neatly braided so it’s not like it was a mess all over the place. I avoid conflict at my mom’s house out of respect for her, so I just kept my comments to myself and ignored her. As the day goes on blah blah blah, dinner time comes and my son is exhausted after being in church all morning & hasn’t had a nap so he’s crying and I’m trying to figure out why & I hear her & her husband conversation in the living room saying “ yeah we can leave after this I’m not trying to listen to that” so I told them I’ll do it for them. I packed up mine & my son’s dinner, and left instantly. I’m so tired of just being “used to it”. I’m the black sheep of the family so it’s pretty normal to get shit on or talked about or judged. Idk what to do in this situation. OH & she had the nerve to send me a tik tok after I got home of a child’s haircut! I want to respond and go tf off but I’m trying to keep it adult 🙄 ok rant over thanks for listening to my Ted talk 😂😂😂

2024.05.20 07:23 TheCrazyKulu A nice interaction with a new player. I just have to share.
So, I am relatively new, or at least I would like to think it. Level 30 death captain, I still feel new, but I have some experience under my belt. For context, I was hosting a difficulty 5 operation for bugs, and I set it to public because I do not trust myself in handling bugs, I am way better at bots than bugs, so I needed the extra help.
First player that joins is a level 7 super citizen, and his mic was on. I am pretty shy when it comes to chatting on the mic. Normally I wouldn't do so because I am a little shy, but he seemed to be having fun and he was pretty green to helldiving. I had my mic at the ready, but still on mute, waiting for the right moment.
We were on the mission, a defense mission where you have to close the big doors and fend off hordes for a set amount of time. Things were going rough, the doors were going down one by one. Then suddenly out of nowhere, a charger rammed me into a door, breaking it, and flinging me into a horde of hunters. If there was a moment to get over my trepidation of talking on the mic, it was now. So in response to my unfortunate launch through that steel door, I cried out "SWEET LIBRRTY!"
The new player (who I shall refer to as M2, since that's his helldiver name in-mission) laughed, and I felt much better knowing that. We won the mission despite the quite hairy odds against this terminid menace, and back to the super destroyer for the next mission, spreading democracy by raising our beloved Super Earth flags. Since this map was more sprawled out and the mission timer was longer, I figured I would treat M2 to something special.
We got in the mission and I called in the patriot exosuit, and I got M2's attention to take it. He got in, started mowing down bugs, and was ecstatic. I gave him a crash course on how to use the mech and what to try and be careful of, and he absolutely loved it. We raised the flags, took out a stalker lair, and got out after every bug nest was terminated.
At the end of it, M2 had to go afterwards, but we figured out how to get on eachother's friend list (a little scuffed, he was on pc, I am on ps, but we managed to figure it out). M2, if you are reading this, thank you for giving me a real first taste of true comradery.
Moral of the story, it's nice to be nice, if I see anyone with a mic, I am more likely to speak up myself. And bonus moral, giving your crazy weapon strategems to a new player is so much more fun than using them yourself.

2024.05.20 07:21 tab_rick Kitchen Countertop Replacement: Materials and Cost Insights
 | Why Replace Your Kitchen Countertop?The kitchen countertop is not just a flat surface. It is used for cooking and sometimes for eating. However, as time passes, even the best countertops get damaged. They get stained, chipped, and lose their brightness. So, why is it important to think about a new one?Firstly, old countertops can contain a lot of bacteria. This is not healthy. Secondly, a damaged countertop makes your kitchen look bad. Nobody wants that. Also, new countertops, like solid surface, are tough and do not get stained. If you want a new kitchen look, think about changing your countertop. How Often Should You Replace Your Kitchen Countertop?How often should you change your kitchen countertops? The answer varies based on the material and maintenance. Laminate countertops last 10 to 20 years. Natural stone can last forever with proper care. If you notice tough stains or cracks, consider replacing them. Wanting a new look is another reason to change. New countertops can increase your home’s value. Changing them can be a good financial decision.Here is a list of expected lifespan of each material:
Kitchen Countertop Replacement vs. RenovationIn the realm of kitchen countertop solutions, there are primarily two distinguished approaches: full replacement and meticulous renovation. A full replacement entails the removal of the existing surface, followed by the installation of a new one, often involving a complete shift in materials and design. This strategy is recommended for countertops that have undergone significant wear or damage. Conversely, renovation typically encompasses procedures like resurfacing or resealing, serving as a cost-efficient alternative suitable for countertops in decent condition requiring modernization. The choice between these two methods should be predicated on the countertop’s present condition, financial constraints, and the envisioned end result.Tips for Countertop Installation for HomeownersMany homeowners think about DIY countertop installation. But it’s not easy. You can choose from many materials. These include elegant marble countertops and quartzite. You also have durable engineered stone like solid surfaces. Slate countertops are another option. Each slab needs sealing to avoid stains. Grout is used for tiles. Cutouts are made for appliances and faucets. https://preview.redd.it/mngfa1x2oi1d1.png?width=612&format=png&auto=webp&s=ffdcf40f77f431f1176238303bce93afa6adae70 The size of your kitchen cabinets affects your project’s square footage. Costs are often by square foot or linear foot. Don’t forget to add extra square feet for splashes. The average cost gives you a rough idea. But the exact price can change. Additional factors matter. You might need a professional electrician. Installers may offer a warranty. In the end, DIY seems good but has risks. Professional installation gives high-quality results. Some materials need special skills. For example, sealing marble or joining Corian needs expertise. Always think about the pros and cons. Consider what your kitchen needs. Make a good choice based on all these factors. Popular Countertop Materials for ReplacementCountertops are important in kitchens. When changing them, material choice matters. Think about durability, design, and use. What materials are popular now?Solid SurfaceSolid surface countertops are made of 100% aluminum hydroxide and natural minerals. These materials are combined to make a tough and durable countertop. A great feature is that they don’t yellow quickly, so they look new for a long time.You can cut, drill, and shape them with power tools, and they set in about 2 minutes. They are easy to maintain and repair. Also, they passed the CA65 test, which means they resist stains, chemicals, and bacteria. Because solid surface is non-porous, moisture and air can’t create bacteria. So, it’s a clean choice for your kitchen. MarbleMarble is a strong and pretty stone used for many things, like buildings and art. Today, many people use marble for kitchen. Why? Because it’s tough and doesn’t get scratches easily. Hot things won’t harm it, and it stays smooth over time. Cleaning it is simple, and it doesn’t need much care. If you drop food or liquid on it, just clean it up. Thinking of a new top for your kitchen? Marble is a good pick. It looks nice, lasts long, and is easy to use every day. With marble, your countertop can look even better.QuartzQuartz countertops are basically a mix of quartz crystals and resin. This combo makes them super tough and they don’t stain easily. The best part? You don’t have to seal them like some other stone countertops, so you save on upkeep. They come in all sorts of colors and designs, so you’re bound to find one that vibes with your kitchen. If your kitchen sees a lot of action, quartz is a solid choice because it stands up to daily use without getting all scratched up.GraniteGranite countertops are made from natural stone and they’re a hit if you’re after a durable, upscale look. They can handle heat, resist scratches, and if you seal them right, they won’t stain easily. But heads up, you’ve got to seal them regularly. Design-wise, each granite piece is like a work of art with its own colors and patterns. So if you’re after a one-of-a-kind countertop that can handle the daily hustle, granite’s your guy.How Much Does Countertop Replacement Cost?The cost of countertop replacement can vary widely based on several factors.

The first thing I noticed was how perfectly balanced it felt in my hand, making it easy to maneuver and reducing fatigue during those endless chopping sessions. One of the features that truly stood out to me was the ceramic blade, which reportedly stays sharp 10 times longer than steel blades. I've certainly noticed a difference – not only in the effortless slicing, dicing, and mincing of fruits and vegetables, but also in the seamless transition from chopping meats to finely chopping herbs. The ergonomic handle offers a comfortable grip, adding to the overall ease of use, and the vivid color options provide a visual appeal that makes it stand out amongst my other kitchen tools.

Its ergonomic handle feels comfortable in my hand, providing precise control as I slice through fruits, vegetables, and even some small meats.

It really makes a difference when I'm preparing my meals, as I don't have to spend time honing my knife skills and wasting precious time. However, I must mention that the knife can be quite brittle, as the users in the reviews suggested. So it's essential to handle it with care, especially when storing it in a drawer. Also, it's not a great tool for cutting boneless meat or fish, as its blade isn't thin or agile enough. But overall, I've been very pleased with the Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Utility Knife. It's perfect for any chef or home cook, and it has definitely improved my kitchen experience. Plus, it's quite light, which reduces fatigue during those repetitive cutting tasks. It's a worthwhile investment, provided you're attentive to its fragility. 🔗Rapala Ceramic Utility: Lightweight, Corrosion-Resistant Knife with Soft Grip Handlehttps://preview.redd.it/7awxlegwmi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ca5782b5c621e0fd607c3f93713b18c35ea348f The Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife has been a game changer in my daily life. The super-sharp, super-tough ceramic blade is surprisingly lighter than I expected, making it a perfect companion when I'm on the move. What I loved the most was its resistance to corrosion – it's like it's indestructible! But the real icing on the cake was the molded soft grip handle. It felt incredibly comfortable to hold, and it made using the knife a pleasant experience. One thing I noticed was that the compression sheath could be a bit tricky to use at first. It took some extra effort to make it hold tight for safe storage and transportation. However, once I figured it out, I appreciated the added security it provided. Overall, the Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife 4 inch Black RCUKB4 has been a reliable and efficient tool in my daily routine.

The fact that this product is made from Kyocera's proprietary zirconia material is an extra bonus, as it guarantees exceptional quality and beauty. While this knife is ideal for camping, fishing, hiking, and picnics, I would avoid using it on hard foods or objects. But overall, I've been really happy with this set and would definitely recommend it to those who love spending time in the great outdoors. 🔗Ultra-Sharp Ceramic Paring Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/vycayu2xmi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2af656ee8be16264bfbb176ed1ac38f37606bb78 As a reviewer, I've been using this Kyocera Revolution ceramic 3-inch paring knife for a few weeks now, and I must say, it has been quite an experience. The knife is incredibly sharp, making it perfect for intricate tasks like trimming, peeling, and garnishing. Its lightweight design, combined with the ultra-sharp ceramic blades, makes it easy to maneuver and a joy to use in the kitchen. However, I have encountered a minor drawback - the blade is much harder to sharpen than I'm used to, requiring a bit more patience and effort than steel knives I've used in the past.

This little guy is so compact, fitting perfectly into my pockets without taking up too much space. The 1" black finish ceramic blade is surprisingly sharp, making it incredibly useful for various tasks like cutting rope or opening packages. I appreciate the sleek black synthetic handle, which feels sturdy and comfortable in my hand. While I'm a big fan of this pocket knife, there were a couple of drawbacks. The first thing I noticed was how easily the blade would snap shut. It happened a few times when I accidentally pressed it against something hard. Furthermore, the fact that it's made in China makes me a bit skeptical about its long-term durability. Overall, the SHOCFR Shomer-Tec Ceramic Folding Razor Knife was a handy tool to have with me. Its compact size and sharp blade made it perfect for everyday use. However, its low-quality materials and tendency to snap shut may be a deal-breaker for some potential buyers. 🔗Ultra-Durable Ceramic Utility Knife for Outdoor Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/j8ofygtxmi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4e166123c54c848d130a7f06580b428fac9e2a4 I recently started using the Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife, and let me tell you, it's impressive.

As someone who frequently spends time outdoors, I love the lightweight and non-porous construction; it doesn't rust or corrode. Plus, the handle is a game-changer. The molded soft-grip design feels comfortable in my hand, even during long fishing trips. The Open-Design Compression Sheath is a thoughtful addition too, ensuring safe storage and transport. The only downside I've noticed so far is that, while the knife itself is fantastic, the sheath that comes with it could use some improvement. Thankfully, it hasn't been a dealbreaker for me. Overall, I highly recommend this Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife. Its features make it an excellent choice for cutting chores and fishing trips alike. 🔗Ceramic Pocket Knife: Stays Sharp 10 Times Longer for Precise Cuttinghttps://preview.redd.it/difwpk5ymi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71059ec74baa88a9481e6d34153e4b07e5f00b91 The Kyocera Revolution 4.5" Ceramic Utility Knife is a game-changer for those seeking precision in the kitchen.

One time, I even used it for Thanksgiving, preparing an assortment of veggies for a big dinner, and it handled the task flawlessly. The smooth texture of the handle also allows for a comfortable grip. However, I did notice a downside—the blade is incredibly sharp, which means you have to be very careful while handling it. It's also worth mentioning that these ceramic knives are not suitable for carving, boning, or any application that requires flexing or twisting.

However, it's always wise to avoid hard surfaces like marble when using the knife. It's important to remember to hand wash it after use and to keep it away from the dishwasher. Overall, the Kyocera LTD Ceramic Utility Knife has easily become a go-to tool in my kitchen, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, long-lasting cutting utensil. 🔗Kyocera Ceramic Knife Set: Santoku Knife and Peelerhttps://preview.redd.it/0aq8x5nzmi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a01a2608c35930eaab31bc420910181c11977a52 As someone who loves to cook, I've had the pleasure of trying out the Kyocera Ceramic Blue knife and peeler set. I was immediately drawn to the unique blue handle, which not only looked stylish in my kitchen but also added a touch of elegance to my cooking process. The Santoku knife, with its 14cm blade, was a delight to work with. Its ergonomic design allowed for a comfortable grip, and the ceramic material made it incredibly durable and easy to maintain.

Despite this minor drawback, the overall experience was fantastic. The Kyocera Ceramic Blue knife and peeler set has become a staple in my kitchen, and I've received countless compliments on its unique design and functionality. If you're looking for a versatile and stylish set of knives, this one is definitely worth considering. 🔗Kyocera Ceramic Utility Knife & Y-Peeler Set for Precise Cutshttps://preview.redd.it/1s48e420ni1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fdef53df64a2c3fe74acb77e935262671c22a85c Recently, I stumbled upon Kyocera's Ceramic Utility Knife & Y-Peeler Set, and I couldn't resist giving it a try. The set comes with two essential, sharp tools for the kitchen - a 4.5-inch utility knife and a Y-peeler. The utility knife features a ceramic blade made from Kyocera's proprietary zirconia material, a remarkable high-tech material known for its superior edge retention. The dense and smooth blade surface allows for absolutely precise cuts. The Y-peeler, on the other hand, has a sharp, flexible ceramic blade with outstanding corrosion resistance. This makes it perfect for any repetitive peeling tasks, and it's no wonder I've been using it for various fruits and vegetables. What stood out for me was the ergonomic handle and the ultra-lightweight design of the utility knife. This feature makes the knife incredibly easy to handle, even for extended periods. However, one downside I noticed is that the white ceramic blade tends to discolor over time, especially with certain food items. That aside, washing it immediately after use helps to minimize this issue. In summary, Kyocera's Ceramic Utility Knife & Y-Peeler Set offers the perfect blend of sharpness, flexibility, and durability, making it an essential addition to any kitchen. While it may have some negative aspects, overall, it's a valuable investment for any food enthusiast. 🔗Lightweight and Durable Ceramic Pocket Knife for Comfortable Cuttinghttps://preview.redd.it/j3tizxk0ni1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e0c889d90c7ef210a40f8b145a62ecc3bd24dbd I recently tried the Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Utility Knife Red, and I must say, it's a game-changer in the kitchen. While the box only contains one item, the knife itself is an impressive piece of engineering. The ergonomics are top-notch, with a comfortable grip that makes the slicing process more controlled and enjoyable. One key feature that stood out to me is the blade's incredible edge retention. It retains its sharpness ten times longer than steel knives, which is a massive plus for anyone who values the lasting quality of their tools. Moreover, I appreciate how the ceramic material provides a pure and healthy alternative to steel knives, as it doesn't transfer metal ions to food or corrode due to acids or oils. It also never rusts, which is a great bonus. The Kyocera knife is incredibly lightweight, reducing fatigue when in use, especially during long cutting tasks. While the blade may be half the weight of an equivalent steel knife, it feels like an extension of your hand. However, there's one downside to this knife—handle with care. The ceramic blade is prone to chipping if not handled correctly. Also, it might be a bit delicate to use for cutting large items or anything that requires a lot of force. Overall, the Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Utility Knife Red is a well-made, easy-to-use tool that boasts impressive edge retention, a comfortable grip, and a visually appealing design. It's a worthy addition to any kitchen, and I can't wait to showcase its capabilities to my friends and family.

2024.05.20 07:17 One-Day-5670 I '46M' cannot bring myself to leave my '46F' partner of 25 years, how can I leave without feeling awful?
how I can leave her without feeling guilty?
Married 25 years, no sex or intimacy, and feel no love other than friendship. And has been this way for 20+ years. She had a chronic pain injury, unable to work, drive, and daily tasks like cooking and shopping are very difficult for her.
There is no intimacy, sex less than once a year for as long as I can remember. Anything sexual was initiated by me for past 24 years. No ' I love you', no hugs no kissing, no hand holding.
I have wanted to leave since year 2, but had significant confidence issues. She left me 3 times by year 5 and I begged her to stay each time.
By year 8 she was permanently injured and relied on me for almost everything. This gave me purpose and I knew she couldn't leave me. I told myself all our intimacy issues were because of her condition.
For the last couple years I hit rock bottom. Suicidal thoughts, got life insurance, organized all finances. Set her up for life if I was to die.
Sought therapy for myself. Reconnected with friends.
Got better mentally.
Then last month I told her we were only friends and roommates. This devastated her. She admitted that all our sex and intimacy problems stemmed from the fact that I could never satisfy her. So she stopped wanting sex with me. 24 Years ago!
After a few days of not talking and seeing her sad a broken I told her we could be together again.
Since then everything is exactly the way it was before Including my poor mental health.
Why can't I leave her? How can I leave her?
I cannot live without love and intimacy for the rest of my life. I am incredibly conflicted.
But I am NOT suicidal anymore and still seeing my therapist. I just don't know how I can leave her without feeling guilty.

2024.05.20 07:14 South-Proposal5691 Some of yall need to listen back on e111 time 34:33
Most of yall r their biggest damn haters like they get a big opportunity and announce it. I didn’t see one post about how cool the trailer is or how excited anyone was, all I saw were posts of people mad abt 1 of the people that are a part of the company that gave them the big opportunity. They put out their first episode in a new set. I didn’t see one post saying one good thing abt it. Yall complained about the lighting, the decor, the distance, the tvs, the wires, the sound. Literally not one thing was not hated on.
I didn’t see anyone say shit abt how they wore the exact same outfits they had on in their very first episode either. Like that’s literally so fucking cool.
I literally loved their promo video. It was cool and funny. And Drew and Ky fighting the entire time was everything lmao
I also love their new set. The giant version of the shelf is sick asf. The vintage tvs in the background are cool. The wires are messy on purpose and it looks dope. The lighting does not make them look orange. It literally is just warm. It gives it a cozy, vintage look. The set looks as if it’s exactly what they might’ve envisioned. Like looking inside their head or something. Not only that but the camera quality is so good, I love that the pics and vids they talk abt are now actually cut onto the screen, and the sound quality is PERF.
And if you’re not a fan of the way the set looks, why are some of yall so bound and determined to say everything you hate so damn much. Like yall are entitled to your opinions, but if some of yall r such big fans, why be so nit picky?
Put yourself in this situation: Imagine they’re having some kinda live show or meet and greet, so u decided to make a poster of something for them and you worked really hard to afford all of the supplies and the ticket, and you woke up extra early to get close enough to the stage so they could see it, you tried really hard to make it match their vibe and it turns out exactly how you envisioned and it looks just like you wanted it to. Then you take it to them, and they literally shit all over it saying they hate the color, they think the letters are too big, the background is distracting, the decorations on it are too busy, the pictures are too small Then they start hating on the place you worked to get all of the supplies and buy the ticket because one of the managers is friends with a bad person.
Be appreciative. Or at least be happy for them. Damn yall. At the very least stop posting hate and complaining. Bc I’m tired of seeing it ffs

2024.05.20 07:14 joshstrummer Why do dads not want friends?
I'm that dad small-talking with other parents on the playground while our kids play. Maybe I come across weirder than I think. But look, when you talk a bit and find your kids are a couple months apart in age, that you both live 5-10 mins walk from the same park, that you've seen each other there a few times... why do people have such a hard time talking? Maybe people hate small talk, but minimal answers to questions... shutting down and not asking a question back... I've had so many encounters with other dads that leave me thinking "Well, I tried." I routinely see people post here about how isolating parenting can be, how dads don't have enough good friendships around them... then these in-person encounters make me feel like maybe no one wants to build friendships with other dads. There was one about a year ago where we actually found common interests (he was wearing a hoodie for an indie rap group that I love and he was surprised to find someone who recognized the logo). We actually exchanged numbers, and I tried texting a couple times to set something up as our kids were the same age. After a few months, it felt weird to try texting again when I was just a guy they met in a park once.
I know people are busy, and making a little effort feels like a lot sometimes. I feel like parenting can feel really lonely. I love my daughter. My wife works weekends, and I spend all weekend with a 2 yr old. I enjoy most of it, and manage the tough bits fairly well most the time. During the week my interactions with coworkers are via phone, email, text, and the face-to-face interactions I have are with customers. I wish I could have conversations with people that weren't customers.

2024.05.20 07:14 Ok-Ebb2872 Saw some Jehovah's witnesses offering literature at a local international airport while on my way to board my flight.
So I was just dropped off by my uber driver at an airport in Dallas, Texas to board my flight to go home after a weekend at a convention. As I had just dropped off my checked luggage at the airline counter, I turned behind and saw 3 people near the entrance of the airport kiosk (the part where people print out their tags for their checked luggage and print out their boarding passes) holding a sign saying "free bible courses" and holding "The Watchtower" literature booklets in their carts along with other material that had those same exact JW artwork that their publication features. Overall, those three JWs were harmless, they didn't bother anyone, and they looked friendly. I passed by them and said "have a nice day" to them.
But why of all places would they decide to set up shop inside an airport? Especially a busy international airport where parking is expensive, difficult to find, difficult to enter and leave, and keep bumping into people. Can't imagine how much in gas money they had to spend it on getting there.
But the reason why this encounter sticks out in my mind is because this is the first time I have ever seen JWs ever try to share their faith inside a US international airport in the south in the middle of a busy afternoon. Like setting up their literature carts inside an airport has got to be one of the worst places to set up to try to reach out to people considering how stressful and anxious airport already are to begin with. Having to dress up in fancy suits and dresses looks very uncomfortable, especially since I don't know how long they have been standing there with their backs behind the window.
Finally, people are far too busy trying to check in their luggage, prepare to enter the TSA checkpoint, and navigate the right gate to their flights to even spare one second to grab a JW literature booklet, let alone talking to them.

2024.05.20 07:12 geopolicraticus J. G. Fichte and a priori Providentialism
Johann Gottlieb Fichte
19 May 1762 – 29 January 1814J. G. Fichte and a priori Providentialism
Part of a Series on the Philosophy of History
Sunday 19 May 2024 is the 262nd anniversary of the birth of Johann Gottlieb Fichte (19 May 1762 – 29 January 1814), who was born in Rammenau, Saxony, then part of the Holy Roman Empire, on this day in 1762.
Fichte is often remembered in histories of philosophy as an immediate successor to Kant in the German idealist tradition. While still a young man Fichte wrote and anonymously published Attempt at a Critique of All Revelation. This was in 1792 when Fichte was 30 years old. Many believed that Kant had written this work, given Kant’s earlier critiques of pure reason, practical reason, and judgment, so when Kant denied authorship and identified Fichte as the actual author, Fichte experienced the philosophical equivalent of being an overnight sensation.
But Fichte’s life was an unsheltered as Kant’s life was sheltered. He was a born trouble-maker and was willing to touch the third rail of Enlightenment politics by writing and speaking openly about matters of religion, as revealed by his work on revelation. Fichte is sometimes called inflexible and rigid, though we could also say (a little more charitably) that he was principled and not inclined to compromise. Partly as a result of this temperament, Fichte became embroiled in a controversy in German intellectual life remembered as the Atheismusstriet, or Atheism Controversy.
During this controversy Friedrich Jacobi published an open letter against Fichte in which Jacobi coined the term “nihilism” to describe what he took to be Fichte’s position:
“Truly, my dear Fichte, I would not be vexed if you, or anyone else, were to call Chimerism the view I oppose to the Idealism that I chide for Nihilism. I have paraded my not-knowing in all my writings; in my non-knowledge I have prided myself so to be with knowledge, so perfectly and completely, that I am certainly allowed to be contemptuous of the mere doubter.—I have wrestled for truth with zeal and fervour since childhood as few others; as few others have I experienced my powerlessness—and my heart has grown tender for that—yea, very tender, my dear Fichte—and my voice so gentle! Just as I have deep compassion for myself, as human being, so I have it for others. I am patient without effort; but that I am truly patient without effort costs me a lot. The earth will be light above me—it won’t be long.”Nihilism was to go on to have quite a career as an idea after Jacobi’s letter. While for Jacobi, the nihilism he attributed to Fichte was the inevitable outcome of reason, nihilism did not remain centered on Jacobi’s critique of Kantian philosophy, but came to signify belief in nothing at all.
Fichte’s controversial stance created a problem for the authorities at the University of Jena, where Fichte was employed at the time. Fichte wouldn’t budge, and this was one of the episodes responsible for his reputation for inflexibility, so the University of Jena dismissed him in 1799. At this point, with little to his name and few prospects, Fichte walked from Jena to Berlin—Google Maps says it takes 55 hours to complete this walk—and eventually he became part of the philosophical scene in Berlin.
Fichte attempted, semi-successfully, to support himself with popular books and lectures. For a philosopher coming from a background of Kantian philosophy—the most technical philosophy of its day—this was a bold project, but he gamely attempted to bring his interpretation of Kantianism to the masses. One of the outcomes of this effort was Fichte’s short book The Vocation of Man (1800). Fichte’s academic work was riddled with jargon, but The Vocation of Man is written in plain language and was intended for a popular audience. However, it’s still a demanding philosophical argument. In it, Fichte articulated a conception of human destiny that is universalistic, rationalistic, teleological, and even infinitistic:
“Let us not ask of history if man, on the whole, have yet become purely moral. To a more extended, comprehensive, energetic freedom he has certainly attained; but hitherto it has been an almost necessary result of his position, that this freedom has been applied chiefly to evil purposes. Neither let us ask whether the aesthetic and intellectual culture of the ancient world, concentrated on a few points, may not have excelled in degree that of modern times! It might happen that we should receive a humiliating answer, and that in this respect the human race has not advanced, but rather seemed to retrograde, in its riper years. But let us ask of history at what period the existing culture has been most widely diffused, and distributed among the greatest number of individuals; and we shall doubtless find that from the beginning of history down to our own day, the few light-points of Civilization have spread themselves abroad from their centre, that one individual after another, and one nation after another, has been embraced within their circle, and that this wider outspread of culture is proceeding under our own eyes. And this is the first point to be attained in the endless path on which humanity must advance.”Notice that Fichte implies a distinction between two kinds of progress: there is progress toward the highest degree of excellence, and here humanity may have backslid, but there is also progress toward broadly distributed high culture, and here Fichte thinks that his time definitely surpassed previous history. Fichte also says that progress, by which he means moral progress, is an endless path, and we have already seen that it is possible for humanity to experience retrograde moral progress, so the pathway to man becoming purely moral, as Fichte sees it, is endless, it can incorporate reversals, and it can be striving to new heights or to wider diffusion.
This and many other passages point to the infinite perfectibility of man, which shows us the extent to which Fichte had imbibed the ideals of the French Revolution—or, we might say, he had imbibed the ideals of the French philosophers who were instrumental in laying the foundations of the French revolution, and were later arguably co-opted by the revolution, as in the case of Condorcet, who wrote this paean to the infinite perfectibility of man while on the run from the revolutionary gendarme. But the infinite perfectibility of man as Fichte imagines it is a teleology with a real history: things can go wrong, we can get sidetracked, we might pursue one form of moral excellence or another, and so on.
And Fichte also transmuted the French concept of the infinite perfectibility of man in the image of German idealism, producing a kind of philosophical spiritualism. Part of this transmutation of ideals came about because of the direction that Fichte saw the French revolution take as it developed. Many philosophers at the time initially supported the ideals of the French Revolution, but came to see it in a different light after the Terror and the Napoleonic Wars. Fichte as well.
Seeking to rally his countrymen after defeats inflicted by Napoleon, Fichte gave a series of public lectures later published as Addresses to the German Nation. This was more than a half century before the unification of Germany as a nation-state. In the twentieth century this work was savaged by George Santayana in his book Egotism in German Philosophy, which I mentioned in my episode on Wars and Rumors of Wars. Santayana called Fichte “an uncompromising puritan” and in Santayana’s fever dream of German expansionism he imagined Fichte as the source of it all:
“…Fichte gives us prophetic glimpses of an idealistic Germany conquering the world. The state does not aim at self-preservation, still less is it concerned to come to the aid of those members of the human family that lag behind the movement of the day. The dominion of unorganised physical force must be abolished by a force obedient to reason and spirit. True life consists in refashioning human relations after a model innate in the mind. The glorious destiny of Germany is to bring forth and establish the world anew. Natural freedom is a disgraceful thing, a mere medley of sensual and intellectual impulses without any principle of order. It is for the Germans to decide whether a providential progress exists by becoming themselves the providence that shall bring progress about, or whether on the contrary every higher thought is folly. If they should fail, history would never blame them, for in that case there would be no more history.”Many others also have seen Fichte’s work through the lens of the wars of their time, which were the world wars of the twentieth century, rather than through the lens of the wars of Fichte’s time, which were the Napoleonic Wars.
Fichte knew that he was putting his life on the line by publicly speaking out against the French, as he at one time referenced the fate of Johann Philipp Palm. Palm, a book seller, was connected to a pamphlet, Germany in Its Deep Humiliation (Deutschland in seiner tiefsten Erniedrigung), that angered Napoleon. Napoleon ordered his subordinates to try and execute Palm within twenty-four hours. Palm was tried on 26 August 1806 by a French military tribunal, found guilty, and shot within hours of the verdict. Four other book sellers also were tried were not executed. Fichte knew that the same thing could happen to him in publicly speaking out on behalf of the German people. We can see from incidents such as this that Fichte was in the thick of the history of his own time, sometimes riding the wave and sometimes making waves.
Roberta Picardi notes both the derivation and dependence of Fichte’s views from Kant, as well as Fichte’s divergence from Kant:
“Fichte explores the epistemic status and method of history with an aim which is clearly taken from Kant: the purpose of introducing a systematic and scientific method in the infinite field of the empiricism, of which history is a part, together with experimental physics. As we can read in The Characteristics of the Present Age he wants to obtain ‘a sure progress according to rule instead of an uncertain groping in the dark’ from history, i. e., instead of the ‘Herumptappen’ (this is the German word for ‘groping’) that in the second Preface to the Critique of Pure Reason Kant contrasts with the ‘secure path of a science’.”But the secure path of science isn’t always all that secure, given that there are multiple scientific pathways, and not all pathways lead to the same end. This is the distinction within Fichte’s philosophy of history noted by Angelica Nuzzo:
“Fichte builds his idea of a philosophy of history upon a paradoxical argument. He pushes to the extreme the claim of the bare factual nature of history as a realm of irrational, not-conceptual, and thoroughly contingent reality. Yet he also maintains that philosophical knowledge of history is possible—although neither as deductive, nor conceptual, nor genetic knowledge. Against the fictitious notion of historical Wahrscheinlichkeit (plausibility, probability), Fichte holds on to the notion of ‘historical truth’ and to its ‘logic.’ Despite its radically empirical character, history can be construed a priori.”Some of the flavor of Fichte’s a priori approach to history can be gained from his primary work on the philosophy of history Characteristics of the Present Age (Der Grundzüge des gegewärtigen Zeitalters, 1806), in which he decomposes history into Five Principal Epochs, based not on historical contingencies, but rather upon human destiny and moral development:
“…we endeavoured to pre-figure the whole Earthly Life of Man by a comprehension of its purpose;— to perceive why our Race had to begin its Existence here, and by this means to describe the whole present Life of humankind:—this is what we wished to do,—it was our first task. There are, according to this view, Five Principal Epochs of Earthly Life, each of which, although taking its rise in the life of the individual, must yet, in order to become an Epoch in the Life of the Race, gradually lay hold of and interpenetrate all Men; and to that end must endure throughout long periods of time, so that the great Whole of Life is spread out into Ages, which sometimes seem to cross, sometimes to run parallel with each other:—1st, The Epoch of the unlimited dominion of Reason as Instinct: —the State of Innocence of the Human Race. 2nd, The Epoch in which Reason as Instinct is changed into an external ruling Authority;—the Age of positive Systems of life and doctrine, which never go back to their ultimate foundations, and hence have no power to convince but on the contrary merely desire to compel, and which demand blind faith and unconditional obedience:—the State of progressive Sin. 3rd, The Epoch of Liberation,—directly from the external ruling Authority—indirectly from the power of Reason as Instinct, and generally from Reason in any form;—the Age of absolute indifference towards all truth, and of entire and unrestrained licentiousness:—the State of completed Sinfulness. 4th, The Epoch of Reason as Knowledge;—the Age in which Truth is looked upon as the highest, and loved before all other things:—the State of progressive Justification. 5th, The Epoch of Reason as Art;—the Age in which Humanity with more sure and unerring hand builds itself up into a fitting image and representative of Reason:—the State of completed Justification and Sanctification. Thus, the whole progress which, upon this view, Humanity makes here below, is only a retrogression to the point on which it stood at first, and has nothing in view save that return to its original condition. But Humanity must make this journey on its own feet; by its own strength it must bring itself back to that state in which it was once before without its own coöperation, and which, for that very purpose, it must first of all leave.”We can call Fichte’s Five Principal Epochs a “stadial” philosophy of history, since “stadial” refers to stages. In this passage we gain an appreciation of the necessity of the five stages of history as a developmental process that cannot be gotten around: there is no royal road to the end of the history.
In the Second Lecture from Fichte’s Some Lectures Concerning the Scholar’s Vocation, he makes explicit both the a priori developmental history of humanity and the utopian picture of the ultimate end of human development:
“…a very great man has said, life in the state is not one of man’s absolute aims. The state is, instead, only a means for establishing a perfect society, a means which exists only under specific circumstances. Like all those human institutions which are mere means, the state aims at abolishing itself. The goal of all government is to make government superfluous. Though the time has certainly not yet come, nor do I know how many myriads or myriads of myriads of years it may take (here we are not at all concerned with applicability in life, but only with justifying a speculative proposition), there will certainly be a point in the a priori foreordained career of the human species when all civic bonds will become superfluous.”The editor says in a footnote that the “great man” mentioned was probably an allusion to Kant’s Idea of History from a Cosmopolitan Point of View. We saw in my episode on Kant how Kant saw the teleology of humanity as establishing the perfect civil constitution, though I also speculated that, if we take Kant’s later writings on history in the context of his early pre-critical work on natural history, this Kantian teleology for humanity is nested within a larger cosmological teleology. By my reading, then, Kant is actually the more naturalistic position, while Fichte is the more anthropocentric, and his ideal is a purely spiritual ideal, even an a priori idea. For example, Fichte isn’t in the least interested to even give an estimate of the period of time that will be required for humanity to abolish all government, but he only points out that this is the ultimate end.
Marx also predicted the withering away of the state after communism had been achieved, and Marx, too, emphasized definite stages in human development that would lead to this outcome. With Kant, Fichte, and Marx all predicting the end of formal human governments we might take this prediction as a distinctive feature of a certain class of philosophies of history. Toynbee, too, saw not exactly the end of the state, but the end of universal civilizations, which would cede their place to universal churches, which sounds to me a lot like Kant, Fichte, and Marx anticipating the ultimate abolition of government in a perfect society.
This we can understand as a kind of inverse teleology, in which it is not (or not only) the advent of some future eventuality that is foreseen, but the abolition of some present state-of-affairs in the future as the goal of human development. For Kant, Fichte, Marx, and Toynbee, there is a dual teleological movement, in which some novel state-of-affairs is to unfold, while a present state of affairs is to give way and disappear as the new order comes to replace it. We could call this a stadial philosophy of history, but it is as much a substitutional philosophy of history: one social order is substituted for another; familiar institutions are to be replaced by novel institutions that take their place.
As far as the new institutions are expected to be an improvement over the old, this is also a melioristic philosophy of history. All progressivist philosophies of history are also melioristic, but we can distinguish between gradualistic meliorism, in which iterated reform eventually converges on a perfect society, which could be a finite or an infinitistic process, and stadial meliorism, in which there is a replacement rather than reform of a social order, and this replacement is an improvement.
For a non-stadial, non-teleological philosophy of history, we can turn to Leopold von Ranke, who was critical of Fichte’s five epochs:
“One of the ideas with which philosophy again and again confronts history as an irrefutable claim is that mankind is on an uninterrupted road to progress, in a steady development toward perfection. Fichte, one of the foremost philosophers in this field, assumes five epochs, a world plan as he says – reason ruling through instinct, reason ruling through law, emancipation from the authority of reason, reason as science, and reason as art. If this or a similar scheme were to any extent true, then general history would have to follow the road of progress which the human race followed in the indicated direction from one age to the next. The sole subject matter of history would then be the development of such concepts as they appear and manifest themselves in the world of phenomena. But this is by no means the case. For one thing, the philosophers themselves have extraordinarily varied opinions about the nature and selection of these supposedly ruling ideas. But they very wisely focus only on a few peoples in world history while considering the lives of all the rest as nothing, as a mere supplement. Otherwise it could not be hidden for a moment that from the beginning to this day the peoples of the world have been in the most varied conditions.”We saw earlier that Fichte by no means argued for an uninterrupted road to progress, but we can set that aside as being of secondary importance. The antagonism between Fichte and Ranke runs deeper. Ranke is often associated with the emergence of historicism, and sometimes he is identified as the source of historicism. Ranke even was willing to express his historicism in theological terms when we said that all ages are equidistant from God. With this view of history as consisting of co-equal periods each with their own integrity it would be difficult, though not impossible, to argue for progress. In Characteristics of the Present Age Fichte rejects the view that an age can be assessed on its own terms:
“Should our view of the Present Age prove to have been a view taken from the standing-point of this Age itself, should the eye which has taken this view have been itself a product of the Age which it has surveyed, then has the Age borne witness to itself and such testimony must be set aside.”Fichte, then, needs some criterion for his view of the present age other than the present age itself, and he finds it in religion:
“…what has been the nature of this theory, considered in its essential elements, and to what chief department of human thought it has belonged? I answer:—It was a Religious Theory; all our contemplations were Religious contemplations, and our view of things, and the eye which embraced that view, were Religious.”Fichte goes one better and actually gives a definition of religion in the next paragraph:
“RELIGION consists in regarding and recognising all Earthly Life as a necessary development of the one, original, perfectly good and perfectly blessed Divine Life.”Both Ranke and Fichte, then, invoke theological sanction for their conception of history, though this conception is starkly different, with Ranke taking each age to be sufficient unto itself, and no less related to the divine than any other age, while Fichte took each age to be dependent upon a larger framework for its meaning. While Ranke the historian insists on the individual uniqueness of each age, while Fichte the philosopher sees each age in relation to the whole of which it is a part. It is the task of Fichte’s Characteristics of the Present Age to provide for his contemporaries this larger framework so that they can understand their place in history, which for Fichte means understanding their place in the moral development of humanity.
Even Fichte’s conception of religion and moral development is strikingly abstract, as we find a little further on in the last chapter of Characteristics of the Present Age: “…Religion is nothing external,—it never clothes itself in any outward manifestation.” And, “…True Religion does not manifest itself outwardly, and does not impel man to any course of external conduct which he would not otherwise have adopted, but that it only completes his true Inward Being and dignity.” This is not necessary an orthodox position, and we’ve already seen how Fichte got himself in trouble with authorities with his views on religion.
It would seem strange to call Fichte’s philosophy of history a providential philosophy of history, as it seems to have little in common with, say, St. Augustine, but by Fichte’s own account, his is a pervasively religious perspective, and his philosophy of history is an account of humanity’s progress toward moral perfection. This progress is a purely inward fulfillment, without any observational consequences, again, by Fichte’s own account. I’ve run into this view in one other thinker, and that is Simone Weil. In my episode on Weil I quoted her criticism of providentialism of a kind that I called vulgar providentialism:
“Divine Providence is not a disturbing influence, an anomaly in the ordering of the world; it is itself the order of the world; or rather it is the regulating principle of this universe. It is eternal Wisdom, unique, spread across the whole universe in a sovereign network of relations.”I think Fichte would have agreed with this, and with the examples of both Fichte and Weil we can see that there is a place within the conceptual space of philosophy of history for what we could call a pure providential philosophy of history, or, if you like, an a priori providentialism.
Ranke’s criticism of Fichte is predicated upon the necessity of a vulgar providentialism that is reflected in the empirical world. But if, as Fichte said, religion is nothing external, and it does not impel man to any course of external conduct, neither should it impel any course of external conduct on the world. This also resolves the paradoxical argument that Angelica Nuzzo found at the heart of Fichte’s philosophy of history, since the bare factual nature of history can be distinguished from the providentialism that can be construed a priori.

2024.05.20 07:12 Extra-Current-1735 HJ
Is HJ really that far behind? I wonder why Nika hasn’t gone to jail or court for truancy. You can tell those kids miss a lot of school, I doubt HJ was held back so many times JUST bc of his grades. In Texas they’re quick to send a letter to your parent and have them show up for court, and if the kid still doesn’t start showing up more for school the parent gets a fine and then jail. Also, I wonder why they don’t put him in the correct grade, but just have him in special ed classes if he really is remedial, or have like an IEP set up for him. Idk I just don’t see the point in the school having him in the same class around 7/8 year olds at 11 years old.
If he really is that far behind, I can honestly see why he skips school. He’s already got a neglectful mother who sends him to school w unkept hair, dirty clothes, and bad hygiene, but he also has classmates his age who see him having to be with the younger kids, so they probably bully him a lot. All of them kids probably get bullied bad, especially w how much Nika puts on the internet.
That’s probably why he looks up to Papa and hangs around him and his friends bc around them he feels older and more accepted. It’s just sad bc he’s going down a dark path and Nika is encouraging it. Instead of helping her son get to where he needs to be and ensuring he feels good about himself, she ignores him and probably puts him down. I feel bad for all the kids, but I’ve been finding myself feeling bad for HJ the most lately (besides Sy of course).

The Real Cost of Adding a Teen to Your Car InsuranceLet's tackle the elephant in the room – insurance cost for teen drivers. It's no secret that it's significantly more expensive. Estimates range widely, but you can certainly expect a substantial increase. Remember, adding your teen to your policy is cheaper than a separate one. Can you believe that separate policies can cost upwards of $2,000?To illustrate, adding a 16-year-old girl to your policy could cost between $1,165 and $3,036 annually. However, separate policies can range from $2,453 to a whopping $6,479! Does your teen happen to be a boy? Well, that would cost even more due to their higher likelihood of risky driving behavior. But remember, adding them to your policy still saves you money in the long run. Top 5 Teen Driving Monitoring AppsMany car insurers offer discounts for safe driving. For this, you need a teen GPS tracker, which monitors your teen's driving habits. These devices check daily mileage, the time of driving, sudden acceleration or braking, and more. The better the driving, the better your rates. But how about trying out some driving monitoring apps? Here are the top 5 teen driving monitoring apps according to parents:TrueMotion Family Safe DrivingTrueMotion offers a comprehensive and user-friendly monitoring experience, and the best part is that it's free. It includes the feature of geofencing, allowing you to set boundaries for your teen's driving behavior. The app also allows for speed restrictions and curfews, and if any of these limits are crossed, you'll get immediate notifications. The app tracks your teen's driving habits and grades them on a scale of 100 points, so your teen can see their driving improvement over time. The app requires GPS capability to be enabled on your teen's phone, and it's available for both Android and iOS platforms.DriveSmartAnother free app, DriveSmart offers a more personalized experience compared to TrueMotion. It's designed more for the teen than the parents, offering the teen opportunities to improve their scores in lagging categories, such as braking. However, it's up to the teen to decide when to start the app. Some notable features include a reminder for the driver to buckle their seatbelt and monthly driving challenges. It's available for Android and iOS phones.Drivesafe.ly ProThis app is one of the pricier options (ranging from $4 per month to $35 per year), but it comes with a unique feature: hands-free messaging capabilities. The app automatically puts the phone in hands-free mode when the vehicle is in motion. It reads text messages and emails in real-time and allows the driver to respond accordingly. However, it may take some time to get used to the app, and some research suggests that hands-free mobile device use can still be distracting for drivers. The app is currently available only for Android phones.Toyota Safe & SoundAlthough created by Toyota, this app isn't restricted to Toyota vehicles. It puts the phone in do not disturb mode when the car is moving, similar to Drivesafe.ly Pro's app. If the teen driver exhibits poor behaviors such as speeding or texting, the app automatically plays a predetermined playlist as a form of deterrent.AT&T DriveModeAT&T's app is not limited to AT&T customers. It turns on safety features when the car is moving at 15 MPH or faster, which includes muting text alerts and replying to messages with a standard response. If the app is turned off, parents will receive a notification. The app is available for both Android and iOS platforms.https://preview.redd.it/kttsf3fsli1d1.jpg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4591efe0a2ad78f0e9f95f6a5857bffc73c34d5 Encouraging Facts About Teenage DriversFinally, let’s remember that not all of the changes that come with adding a teen driver to your family are bad. Yes, your car insurance prices will go up; that happens anytime you add additional drivers to a plan, and so it only makes sense that policies would especially get more expensive when you are adding a driver from what is generally considered the riskiest driver pool, drivers between the ages of 16 and 19. Teen drivers are, however, generally safer now than they have been in previous years, with fewer fatalities and accidents reported each year as a general trend.Additionally, check out the following 10 positive facts about teenage driving: https://www.trackingsystemdirect.com/positive-facts-about-teenage-driving/ Top 10 Positive Facts About Teenage Driving
https://preview.redd.it/o39xy37vli1d1.jpg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=354a7e5b4330cf76ca28c830b95bb8e626000fb1 Using Car GPS To Track TeenagersLive GPS tracking units can be installed permanently or simply hidden on a vehicle operated by a teen which will then give parents the ability to oversee the driving activity of that teen at any time. Car tracking units will document the locations a teen visits, speeds they drive and more. Parents can even compare the driving data with text message records to determine if a teen is texting while behind the wheel. By comparing text and driving records Montana parents can at least eliminate one of the high-risk driving behaviors associated with teenage driving. However, the live tracking data also provides parents a simple way to locate their teen if the teen runs out of gas, becomes lost or simply needs some form of emergency assistance.Clearly, the issue of safety among teenage motorists in Montana is a serious one that needs to be addressed frequently and intelligently. The old way was not working and if car tracking units are going to help parents in Montana then that should be something discussed in detail. No state wants to have the distinction of being the most dangerous state for teenage motorists and no parent wants to have their child harmed in a vehicle-related accident. Things need to change in Montana. Best Auto Insurance For Teen DriverWhen a teen finally passes their written and driver's examinations at the DMV a whole new world of opportunity is opened up. Solo car rides or drives with friends to burger joints, movie theaters and almost any location are now only a set of car keys away. However, with that freedom can come a substantial cost in the form of car payments and auto insurance. In fact, one study conducted by NerdWallet showed that family car insurance goes up roughly $1500 per year when a teen gets added to the auto insurance plan! Ouch! So what is the best way to keep car insurance for newly licensed teen drivers as low as possible so parents don't go broke trying to keep up with rising auto insurance rates?Auto insurance providers are data-driven businesses so they are fully aware that teen drivers are for more likely to engage in risky driving behaviors such as speeding. They also understand teen drivers can easily succumb to peer pressure and by doing so make unwise driving decisions. Lastly, car insurers know teens can be careless which can result in potential auto-theft. However, one piece of technology called the GPS car tracker can help reduce many of these liabilities. For example, when a parent equips a vehicle tracker on a teen's car, that parent will then have the ability to monitor everywhere that teen is going and how fast they are driving. What's even better is that the real-time GPS units can also send out alerts to notify parents if the vehicle was stolen or if a teenager is driving their car too fast! Many auto insurance companies recognize the benefits associated with GPS vehicle monitoring and will provide discounts on car insurance packages for this. However, GPS auto tracking technology is more than just a tool to reduce car insurance rates for teens because the devices can literally save lives. The best car GPS tracking devices will cost parents around $99.00-$199.00 per device. Grades MatterCar insurance companies study the facts and they know firsthand that teens that perform well in the classroom are statistically more likely to perform well on the road. In fact, many insurance providers will offer anywhere from a 10-15% discount on auto insurance for teens who maintain a "B" average or better in the classroom. Therefore, parents that keep their kids focused on the schoolbooks will also keep more money in their pockets.Professional Driving CoursesIn every facet of life the one constant is that experience matters. Therefore, teens who go the extra mile by enrolling in various driving programs and professional driving courses are often rewarded by auto insurers with discounted rates.Shop, Compare And Combine Insurance PlansShopping around and comparing quotes is always good advice, but combining insurance plans can also help reduce rates. Family plans where the entire household is on one coverage policy are shown to save families sometimes as much as $3,000 annually! So combine those insurance plans and shop around to find the most cost-effective option!Auto insurance is not only the law it's also extremely beneficial, especially when/if bad things occur. However, that does not mean that auto insurance for teen drivers should break the bank. Parents can save some cash on their teen auto insurance by investing in GPS tracking systems, inspiring their kids to do better at school, enroll them in professional driving classes. Of course, don't forget to shop, compare and combine auto insurers. Stay safe while driving and always try and save some cash! https://preview.redd.it/f5bnvbxxli1d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7dc053726a1c0b3110730dfef4f988018526788b Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat Are Some Strategies To Lower Teen Car Insurance?Considering the cost, it's natural to want to lower your insurance expenses. Here are some tips:
What Is The Most Dangerous State For Teen Driving?You might think populous states pose the most risk for teen drivers. However, states like New York and California aren't even in the top half for unsafe teen driving. Surprisingly, Montana holds the dubious honor of being the most dangerous state for teen drivers. This fact is sparking a search among Montana parents for new safety measures for their young drivers.Carinsurance.com conducted a survey focusing on multiple factors. These included teen driver deaths per 100k population, texting behaviors, alcohol use, and insurance costs. It also covered other relevant details. Montana scored alarmingly high on several of these high-risk aspects. It ranks third for teens who text while driving and tops the list for teen drunk driving with 13%. This report, although troubling for Montana parents, is vital for developing better safety measures. Faced with these findings, many Montana parents are taking action. They're turning to car tracking technology, allowing them to monitor their teens' driving habits directly. Learn more about teen driving monitors here: https://www.trackingsystemdirect.com |

It provides a comfortable, highly controlled grip, making it a pleasure to use. The heavy nylon sheath with the Velcro strap is a nice addition, too. It keeps the knife safe and secure, and the belt loop makes it easy for me to access it whenever I need it. The fact that this product is made from Kyocera's proprietary zirconia material is an extra bonus, as it guarantees exceptional quality and beauty. While this knife is ideal for camping, fishing, hiking, and picnics, I would avoid using it on hard foods or objects. But overall, I've been really happy with this set and would definitely recommend it to those who love spending time in the great outdoors. 🔗Premium Ceramic Folding Pocket Razor Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/3g9tsyyoli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccdde130f45bdc3f90be09078ff81fb2afa54dba As someone who's always on the go, I found the SHOCFR Shomer-Tec Ceramic Folding Razor Knife to be an essential addition to my everyday carry.

The 1" black finish ceramic blade is surprisingly sharp, making it incredibly useful for various tasks like cutting rope or opening packages. I appreciate the sleek black synthetic handle, which feels sturdy and comfortable in my hand. While I'm a big fan of this pocket knife, there were a couple of drawbacks.

Furthermore, the fact that it's made in China makes me a bit skeptical about its long-term durability. Overall, the SHOCFR Shomer-Tec Ceramic Folding Razor Knife was a handy tool to have with me. Its compact size and sharp blade made it perfect for everyday use. However, its low-quality materials and tendency to snap shut may be a deal-breaker for some potential buyers. 🔗Ultra-Durable Ceramic Utility Knife for Outdoor Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/k5w9qcfpli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4724053c3444336d894dc589cf6d43747f06e576 I recently started using the Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife, and let me tell you, it's impressive.

I was immediately drawn to the sleek and elegant design of the dual ABS handles in black. The contrast against the gleaming ceramic blades made this set stand out in my utensil drawer. As I pulled them out for the first time, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and apprehension. How would these knives perform compared to my trusty stainless steel counterparts? The next step was putting these knives through their paces. I used the Santoku knife to slice through fresh fruits and vegetables, and the smaller paring knife proved invaluable when it came to peeling and seeding the berries and cucumbers.

2024.05.20 07:11 Vegetable_Revenue542 Husband no longer loves me: TL;DR: My husband of almost 3 years has admitted to falling out of love with me but says he wants to still try to work it out and save our marriage, while simultaneously proving unwilling to put any work into salvaging the relationship at the same time.
Husband fell out of love with me
I'm posting anonymously as this is very humiliating and just not something I'm ready to discuss with anyone I know as of yet. I'm sorry if this is really long but I need advise and to just get all of this off of my chest. Will most likely delete later.
I (26f) have known my husband (28m) since we were young children. We grew up together for a while and then separated for over a decade when our families moved. I moved to a different part of town while he and his family moved to another town and hour and a half away. We hadn't spoken or seen each other until he managed to find me on social media when I was 21. I had been in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship at the time and was having a hard time finding my way out of that situation. When he messaged me I initially didn't even recognize him or his name. I was just going to leave him on read. But my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to go back and look at his page and that was when I recognized him. He helped me muster the courage I needed to break out of the turmultuious relationship I had been in and then drove an hour and a half just to see me. That meant a lot to me at the time. Shortly after we began our relationship and I quickly fell pregnant. We kept witnessing strange things that hardly felt like coincidences and had both come to the agreement that they we signs from the universe that we were on the correct path.
Fast forward to now. We have been together for almost 5 years and married for 3 after next week. We have two very young children together and have weathered many hardships as a couple in this time. In the beginning all was well. My husband still tried. He put in effort where he could. He watched me battle post partum depression after a very traumatic birth experience with our first child. Almost two years later we fell pregnant with our second which I was very apprehensive about because of the troubles I had in my first pregnancy. Things started changing with him after I became pregnant again (which I forget to mention he was initially very happy and excited about) his demeanor toward me had subtly started to change.
He stopped being as loving and affectionate. He seemed annoyed or indifferent to when I was upset or struggling internally. If I was crying or having a hard time he would just walk straight by me not even batting an eye. Before I had our second I lost one of my sisters unexpectedly and still am having a hard time handling the grief. When my sister passed away my husband offered me no condolences or emotional support what so ever. I was forced to face my grief alone. I've tried communicating with him about the way I've been feeling but he is completely emotionally closed off. I began to notice that the man I had married was a very emotionally unavailable person and I had tried to suggest seeking help to work through his communication issues and emotional unavailability but he is heavily against seeing a professional. He refuses still to this day to work on himself as a person at all.
Since having our second child we moved back to the town his family is from. We live in a home, my husband found a new job that he has to get up very early for and works very long hours through the week. When I would bring up how neglected I felt by him he would chalk it up to just being "too tired" "too sore" "too stressed". He puts absolutely no effort into our marriage at all. It's not the example of marriage I want set for our children let alone the fact that it eats away at me, makes me wonder if there is something wrong with me, and leaves me feeling unwanted, unloved, and like I don't matter at all. It makes it hard for me to be the mother I want to be. I find myself always overstimulated, and I feel like I'm constantly pouring from an empty cup.
I'm sure a lot of you will say "sounds like he's cheating" but I'm ashamed to admit that I have checked his phone, he never hides it from me. I found absolutely nothing on it and when he's not working he's always home with us. Just off on his own working on our house or only spending time with the kids or sleeping as he has to be up early. So if he is cheating he must be a professional at it cause he covers his tracks very well.
That brings me to recently. I've had this dull feeling in the pit of my stomach that I have found myself in a loveless marriage. I've been changing my appearance and dressing nicer. Doing my hair and make up more. And it doesn't seem to make a difference to him. Everyday I can feel depression quickly consuming me. I'm falling deeper and deeper into a place I've been working very hard to heal from and not fall back into. But now here I am. My husband's been slightly mean to me with some of the comments he's made about my appearance lately. making me feel completely unlovable and worthless. Everyday that passes without any kind of affection from him has built up in me and finally last night I was so upset. That knawing feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was amiss In my marriage I could no longer surpress. I've been having troubles sleeping. I can barely eat. My body dismorphia is coming back as well as eating disorders I used to have.
Last night I just couldnt sleep. I was so restless with the feeling of being trapped in a loveless marriage I couldn't stop my mind from racing. I finally fell asleep on the couch at about 6 am and dreamt that I had confronted my husband about my gut feeling to which he admitted he didn't love me in the dream. I woke up feeling distraught because of it. My husband was already up, tending to the kids acting as though everything was fine when I couldn't hold it in anymore. I finally confronted him. I told him about the gut feeling I had and asked him if he still loved me. He said he did. I rephrased the question and asked if he was IN love with me. That's when he looked down and fell silent. My heart plummeted and I began shaking feeling as though my life was crumbling around me. I then asked him if he wasn't in love with me, then was he in love with someone else to which he replied no and seemed sincere about that. I asked him why he had fallen out of love with me and he said because he sometimes felt like I wasn't pulling enough weight with chores. (Which may I add I may not get everything done in a day while tending to young hyperactive kids but I do make sure everyday that he does come house to all the toys picked up and floors swept and vacuumed if anything. And I try to get as many dishes done as I can with kids pulling on my pant sleeves.) So I'm not sure if I believe that to be the true reason. I asked where he wanted to go from here. Did he want me to take the kids and leave and let him pick up where he had left off from before we ever got together or if he wanted me to stay and try to fix our relationship. He said he wished for me to stay and we work on our marriage. I suggested couples counseling and he immediately shot it down saying we could work it out ourselves to which I asked how and then he shrugged and said, verbatim, " I figured you'd just read a book". That was when I got angry. At that moment I knew he wants me to be the one to figure out how to get him to fall back love with me. which in turn means he will not be willing to put any work into actually fixing our marriage. Even after all of this he still won't hardly communicate, still not being affectionate, hell he still hasn't even apologized or shown any remorse for hurting me so deeply.
I'm now at a loss. I'm so hurt by this. I'm humiliated, I feel betrayed. I have so many doubts about him in this moment. I've let him know that I'm not just going to be able to get over this. I severely dissociated after his revelation of no long being in love with me. I'm so upset because I do love him still and have sacrificed everything for him. Absolutely everything. Almost my life included. I told him I'm having a hard time deciding whether I'm going to stay or go. Frankly I just want to disappear from this world.
Does anyone have any insight? What should I do?
TL;DR: My husband of almost 3 years has admitted to falling out of love with me but says he wants to still try to work it out and save our marriage, while simultaneously proving unwilling to put any work into salvaging the relationship at the same time. I'm very hurt by his admission of no longer being in love with me and don't think I can move past this. What should I do?

I severely dissociated after his revelation of no long being in love with me. I'm so upset because I do love him still and have sacrificed everything for him. Absolutely everything. Almost my life included. I told him I'm having a hard time deciding whether I'm going to stay or go. Frankly I just want to disappear from this world.
Does anyone have any insight? What should I do?
TL;DR: My husband of almost 3 years has admitted to falling out of love with me but says he wants to still try to work it out and save our marriage, while simultaneously proving unwilling to put any work into salvaging the relationship at the same time. I'm very hurt by his admission of no longer being in love with me and don't think I can move past this. What should I do?
2024.05.20 07:10 LavishnessRare7420 Re-home success story!
Just read about an owner debating rehoming her reactive dog, and I wanted to give some hope to anyone who is beyond that point. My American Staffordshire mix was brought back to the shelter after a year in her former family. They didn’t have time for her, and that’s all I was told.
When I got her, she was obviously smart, wanted to be a good dog, and was 50 lbs- just at the top end of what I as a medium sized woman was able to control on a leash. I quickly learned she was nervous, rattled, and afraid of her crate. Broke out of two crates. Had accidents in the house if I left even right after going potty. She pulled so much I could barely walk her more than ten minutes, and experimented with three different types of harness (she broke two). Outside, she was completely unfocused, manic, and overstimulated so easily. Immediately lunged, started fence fighting, and barking/snarling very aggressively towards other dogs and some people. She is a high drive breed and needs tons of attention, interaction, and exercise.
Fast forward to a year later, my dog still is highly reactive but is really happy, silly, extremely eager to focus all that energy on learning tricks, and she’s really thriving. She is the perfect work-from-home companion and gets her needs met with me. I’ve learned her triggers. I’ve also learned tons of little things that help distress her without any medication. I cannot imagine having children or not being a homebody, having a more time consuming career that took me out of the house and still being able to give this dog a happy life. I am so glad I picked her, because I know she needed exactly me and we love each other and have so much fun learning together. The point of this post is that there is definitely a home out there that’s right for your reactive dog even if it’s not yours.
We play in the fenced in yard, back of the house away from dogs or people. She does amazingly well with proper guest protocol and introduction. I spent months desensitizing her to her crate and bought her a massive thick steel one that she can’t harm herself on and can feel safe in, we worked our way up from two minutes crate time. And if I’m ever (rarely) gone more than three hours she gets a Rover walker to come give her some exercise and a break- she even puts herself back in the crate when she can sense it’s time. I work with a trainer. We have crazy specific routines for the car or the vet. She can walk 90% of the time with a LOOSE LEASH which is amazing to see after where she’s come from. We still have our ups and downs on walks, but we have learned each other and she recovers so much quicker now if she does get triggered, and I have mostly learned what to do.
We make a great team, I can’t wait to see how she matures through the years in this home that’s set up perfectly for her, and I’m forever grateful her family made the hard decision. I know it had to be hard, but it was the right thing to do in her case.

2024.05.20 07:09 Sen10il Buying evolve with zero experience?
I've just moved to perth australia and I'm considering ditching the idea of buying a car in favour of a motorbike/skateboard combo for commuting. Just wondering if yall have any input you could give me from your own experience with the community:
I could just take the easy way out and get a scooter....but an electric skateboard just seems so much cooler, so I wanna try invest in that instead XD
All thoughts welcome

- How long does it take to learn to ride an evolve board in a meaningfullyuseful way (I have no experience skateboarding or snowboarding, but otherwise have good control of my balance).
- While learning to ride can you make things super easy for your self by turning all the settings (speed, acceleration, braking) down to their lowest setting & tightening the trucks so the board doesn't turn as quickly? I was imagining a world in which a quick way to learn would be to turn everything down and tighten the trucks, then increase your power curves and loosen the trucks bit by bit as you get comfortable/bored with the current set-up.
