Ned’s dead baby, Ned’s dead.

I once got annoyed that my apparently OK password wasn’t being accepted so went with fuckaduck plus some numbers!

Great advice, especially consistentcy with your behaviour!

Great advise! Both points equally!

A loving home & understanding that not all dog-dog interactions are good. Ensure they have a way out if they’re not happy with any other dog.

Yep, good advice, give a treat for any need to crate or shut away as they won’t understand what you’re doing.

Definitely look up hand signals over voice signals! They’ll never understand what you say!

What are you training it to do?

‘Good’ behaviour? Or some tricks/performances?

There’s similarities, but differences also.

Generally; remember that the dog will never understand what you say, but will have an idea as to your intonation/how you feel when you speak to it. It may even pick up if you’re feeling stressed by something unrelated to it.

Treat it as a family member, that’s how it sees you. Be careful with play, some biting is natural when young as they have no hands so can laern to use their mouth similarly as you do your hands, so if young, let them try things, but teach them to stop if it gets too frequent.

Don’t shout, it’s like barking to them & they may interpret as support for their behaviour. Whispering close to them can be surprisingly calming!

Your examples are good…but you should reward the 4th whilst training. but also it’s better to not conisider any behaviour to be ‘bad’ as the dog has no such concept and does not understand anything you say or think. They should therefore never be ‘punished’.

Also how is the 1st working? You reward it for trying and giving up? It runs the risk of rewarding trying anyway. Reward after responding to an instruction like ‘stop’ or ‘down’ is better.

This is very good! Train yourself, not the dog! Combine with the below.

A dog is not a toy, machine or servant. It is a living animal and has wants and feelings just like you.

Respect it.

Give it attention, a family, care. Ignore stereotypes. It is your child.

It never behaves badly as it has no concept of such a thing and remember that it does not understand English (or whatever language you speak).

Squadron 40… Dive!

Sounds like a classic cursed artifact, read this and you will learn great knowledge, but die slowly…

No no no, it’s pronounced goatse!

Could be, could be! That would make some sense. Like “sooo, anything to say about that?”. Good shout, didn’t think of it like that!

Okayyy, I have absolutely no idea how you come to that conclusion. I have only shared thoughts, beliefs or opinions, which I have tried to clarify, not justify. I have not made any outright claims.

Not one person has asked me single question either about myself or what exactly I mean. I have been presented with cherry picking of words I’ve used, assumptions about myself, filling in of blanks etc to level wild accusations at me despite none knowing me in the slightest.

If you think I’m wrong with my belief that what I saw was sexist - that’s fine.

If you think I have been overzealous in how I’ve spoken - fine also (But that’s a reflection of my frustration, not attention seeking activity that I’ve been accused of).

But the rest…absolute fantasy land stuff!

Not one person has tried to discuss the interpretations you refer to (or anything else) so I haven’t really had anything to work with.

I’ve already stated I’m not outraged. Fed up, frustrated, sure. But anything else is putting words in my mouth, and there’s been plenty of that.

Oh the hypocrisy of accusing me of being full of shit! Anyway, happy to say goodbye too.

Well I gave to completely disagree and I think that’s through a misunderstanding of what my actual point is trying to be.

That is: the choice of image is at odds with the text. Yes I made an exaggerated projection to aide my point that I see this as being sexist ( e.g. would such an image be used if it were a man?). But that doesn’t mean that I am trying to be sanctimonious or looking for an argument.

I simply saw something I didnt’t like the look of and spoke up about it.

My use of ‘for once’ was meant to refer to my belief that women can be all too often sexualised - tying in with my belief that sexism played a part in the choice of the image.

I don’t care for praise here, I only saught to raise an issue that I perceived. I feel no ‘white knighting’ about this, and if you were to meet me irl you’d soon enough learn that feeding my ego is one of the very rare things that I do, but I get your point that it can be easy to fall into such states of kind. I’m not perfect but I don’t think I’m being an ass here. Clumsy maybe, don’t express things like most people maybe leading to misunderstanding maybe. But not any of the rest.

Should I just be quiet about sexism then? Yes, this isn’t a major part of the wider issue of sexism, but sometimes it is important to discuss the smaller, more subtle parts too.

Again, see my other comment for more detail. No offence was felt per se, I just had a moment of intolerance and wanted to say something for once. I think there’s been a misunderstanding of why I said what I said. Please note that I said the image wasn’t sexualised (even if much of her public/promotional imagery is), in fact I was making a point of the lack of it! Plenty of grass touching at my end, but thanks for the thought.

Ok so yes I was projecting onto the article creator. You are correct about that. However I stand by my point that was the writing and the choice of image are jaringly at odds. I.e.

“Here’s person A, look at this serious question they asked about a serious topic, oh and he’s a non serious gif of them at the end” it subtly underminds the validity of what that person said. It is quite subtle, but that’s also part of my point. Prejudices can be very subtle, and I was calling that out.

As a standalone image, I am with you in that description. However, my description is me accentuating my point, not a subconscious outpouring, let alone a reading of that image.

I’m not enraged, but I also wasn’t in the mood to just scroll on by that time. If you read anything into that then all I can say is that you’re mistaken. I get it, there’s a lot of unhinged people out there (such as for the reason you described) but I am confident in my beliefs being overall soundly grounded (if not perfect).

No, very much not. Rather a fed-upness of seeimg woman (and other social groups) belittled in mainstream media). See my other reply re being a little ott, but that’s a reflection of not being in the mood to tollerate more bs like that. Just treat people with some level respect and consistency regardless of who they are. If that was a man, there would’nt be a pic of them slurping a soft drink at the end.

Ok, a little ott in my comment maybe, but it is a jarring contradiction with the otherwise seriousness of the article, which I believe stems from stronger, deeper or ingrained misogyny. E.g. “we can’t have an article about a woman without portraying her in a cute (but at least not obviously sexualised in this case) way”.

I’m sorry, is that gif at the bottom ms Grande? If so, that is misogyny at it’s worse. “Look at all the serious thing she said and did, and now a cutsie pick of her sipping fizzy pop like a vacuous airhead!”

We’ll never make any progress whilst mainstream media continues like this.

Haha I missed that clear horrendously nonsense statement! F-ing social media doom-scroll-disease! After all, what respectable vertebrate would lack any bones?!
