We train ours to walk at heel, loose leash. But if they are together they will still pull and bark aggressively at other dogs. They are in training, not completely trained.
I’m not sure what you mean by properly, though. I would consider the dog walking close to me & slightly behind a good trained walk, and do if possible cross to avoid giving them temptation if there is a dog. Better to give them a chance to be good, than to have to correct them.
She’s a Republican and still wants to go and cross the picket line. She doesn’t care.
Get her tickets to a drag show. If she doesn’t go, then you know there’s a double-standard, and you can decline future invitations using her same excuse.
We actually talked about it on the way home (she started the topic)… she said she felt bad for the strikers, but she was already committed to bringing the family and the kids were so excited about it and she didn’t want to let them down.
So she does have a conscience. It’s just not as important to her to support the strikers as it is to try to give the family a fun time.
We also talked about how only the Buena Park location is on strike and even the New Jersey location (which is also union) isn’t on strike, which is weird. And how the other locations aren’t supporting their fellow workers and how that sucks too. If the company isn’t hurting, a strike isn’t going to do anything except prove to the company and non-union employees that the union has no power.
We talked about how these aren’t just actors, they’re skilled horsemen and animal caretakers and that deserves more than just $18/hour. She agreed.
It was actually a good teaching moment for us to talk to her peacefully about union solidarity etc. and she at least thought about it for once.
So it all turned out ok. Relationships intact, conversations were had without fighting. Which is all I can ask for in this day and age.
I wish videos were hosted on different websites like the old days. Your friends would suggest a website to you to see a funny video like dumb.com and homestar runner. YouTube came along and now they have a monopoly on 99% of full length videos. Make your voice heard and stop using YouTube- host your own videos and keep the spirit of the old web alive
There’s lots of free resources on the internet for learning how to do that. I just wish people would realize that the more you learn about technology, the more you can manipulate the world around you for the better, especially in this decade.
No? I’m not a networking guy, I mainly deal with hardware. I do remember when the internet was decentralized and all the innovative content was independent of things like social media. Just because I don’t know how to set up my own video server off the top of my head doesn’t mean I don’t support it.
The point being, if you’re an IT guy who supports the idea and yet can’t find the motivation to do it, do you honestly think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of anybody else doing it?
I’ve been thinking about getting a Nebula subscription for awhile now. Most of the channels I subscribe to are on there so I’d feel good paying to support them. And Practical Engineering’s new (now finished) series was so good, I want to see more stuff like that instead of hoping the YouTube algorithm suggests something worth watching
I downloaded most of my favorite videos so I can watch them offline and ditched it ever since. I’ll watch if I need to find specific how-to info but other than that I managed to cut it out of my life.
A home server is less expensive than YouTube Red. Download all their videos and periodically purchase new hard drives instead of giving YouTube a cent. Monthly fees are eating people alive. We have to be fighting back.
Unfortunately I’m not networking saavy, but at the very least my Roku TV can play most video files from a USB. I have most of my favorite shows like On Cinema At The Cinema and King of the Hill downloaded and organized by season. Got any tips for labeling show folders that have a season 10? It assumes it’s next to season 1.
Why the fuck are there people still using YouTube? They rip off content creators and treat their user base like shit- and yet, everyone still flocks to use their services.
In a more intelligent world- YouTube wouldn’t even exist anymore.
Because it’s entrenched, and any other platform that can provide the reasons YouTube got popular (PeerTube cannot) would run into the same issues eventually. Most of the best YouTube content nowadays is by people who rely on it as at least a secondary income, so it provides no real benefit for creators to post content elsewhere.
People could just…. not go to YouTube. There’s little there that’s necessary to watch. What’s wrong here is that people put their indulgences ahead of their hypocrisy.
YouTube is a monopoly and there are so many talented content creators on there, even for niche interests. What are you talking about? And what the fuck does “necessary to watch” mean? I want to watch what’s fun and interests me and that’s all on YouTube.
And if you’re one of the millions of people that constantly bitch about YouTube’s standards and practices, you’re a hypocrite along with the rest of them. If not, then I’m not talking about you.
Not yet, but I plan to. I’m slowly tapering off Reddit, I’m forced to use the main app, I even managed to remove the ads off it, but I still hate it. It doesn’t show the posts that the third party apps always show, the ordering is off no matter how you change it. Hard to explain.
I do, and it’s not for entirely altruistic reasons either.
When I’d open a thread on reddit, if I wasn’t there within the first hour of being up or first dozen or so comments, it was almost guaranteed that whatever I said would get buried and the effort I spent formulating my comment would basically be wasted. So there was very little incentive to engage with meaningful discussion just for the sake of discussion. On Lemmy, most posts struggle to get over a hundred comments at most, and even more struggle to get past ten. So, if I spend time developing my reply, I have a higher chance of that comment getting seen and other people in the community engaging with me, which is the entire point of leaving comments, IMO.
Agreed. Comments here are more meaningful for being rare. Even comments disagreeing with OP or replying from a different point of view are often well thought out and meaningful.
On Lemmy, the algorithm is also more prone to show newer with less votes comments, when sorting by hot. So it gives more value to those low votes comments.
