pezmaker, in Whats this on my dog?
@pezmaker@sh.itjust.works avatar

Looked like either a rupturing cyst or maybe a skin tag. I wouldn’t think it’s anything serious but I will always recommend having a vet check it. Imo it’s likely nothing but I’m also not a trained vet.

Actually could be the breathing asshole of a parasitic fly larvae. Put some petroleum jelly over it in a thick layer and see if whatever it is crawls out.

nieminen,

Oooo thanks. Looking into that.

nieminen,

Holy shit, looks almost exactly like a botfly… Going to try this for sure… Don’t think I have any jelly. I’ll see what I have on hand.

SkyezOpen,

Gf seconding botfly. Looks like you caught it early. Smothering might work but she recommends vet because those suckers can get bulbous and cause an abscess.

nieminen,

Yeah kinda thinking the same (going to the vet), don’t want to cause it to be worse. I just moved and haven’t found a vet yet. I’ll try and get him to one as soon as possible, thanks for the input!

seathru,

3rding possible botfly. The wound looks a lot like the one my cat had.

Warning: gross botfly wound

nieminen,

He is 10 years old. I’m sure cysts are gonna be pretty common at this point.

Could it be a tick? Look up pictures of ticks in animals and see how it compares (I’m not looking it up because it’s too gross lol).

LinkOpensChest_wav,

My dogs have had ticks. It doesn’t look like a tick to me.

nieminen,

Agreed, and he’s on flea/tick meds. Have never found a live one on him

nieminen,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I’m pretty familiar with ticks, I’m confident this isn’t that.

AgentGrimstone, in Do you think Jon Stewart should run for president of the United States?

I’m not opposed to it. He would be an upgrade.

jubilationtcornpone, (edited ) in Do you think Jon Stewart should run for president of the United States?

I grew up watching Jon on The Daily Show. You can love Jon or you can hate him. But that guy used his celebrity status, as well as his own effort, to repeatedly shame, cajole, arm twist, plead with, and petition Congress to fund medical care for the 9/11 first responders. Many of whom suffered long term health issues due to exposure to hazardous materials.

He went to Washington with a group of said first responders and chased down as many Congressmen/women as they could find. He appeared before Congress to testify in support of legislation multiple times.

He did far more for those people than anyone else would. There are plenty of people in the world with power and influence. But there aren’t a hell of a lot of them that would use that influence like a fucking hammer to pound out some justice for a bunch of people with no expectation of getting anything in return. For that, he earned my respect.

Swordsmanship.

Whether it’s HEMA or otherwise (as long as it’s not fencing)

Sounding.

Interesting question so I took a shot:

Death Sentence?

baldturkeyleg, in Looking for 2000s movie about gang?

It sounds sorta familiar to me, but I can’t place it either.

Maybe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_Down?

bobbarino19,

No sorry but thanks

Susaga, in Are Donald Trumps speeches nothing but largiloquent dithyrambs?
@Susaga@ttrpg.network avatar

Largiloquent: Bombastic.
Dithyramb: Ancient Greek improvised hymn about Dionysus.

You were almost coherent there, but not quite.

Camzing,

Dithyramb

A wildly enthusiastic speech or piece of writing

Trail,

As a Greek, yes this is the modern usage of the word.

Hell no!!! I love Jon Stewart, why would I want to see him tortured for four years?

Haha. This still makes me grin to this day.

tubbadu, in Can anyone here get Gboard to gesture type "Lemmy"?

Lemmy

Nope for me it works, I’m using the openboard fork with gesture typing

Squizzy,

Is that a privacy focused alternative? Where’s the APK?

meekah,
@meekah@lemmy.world avatar
tubbadu,

This is the official package that is now unmaintained, I use the fork of one of the original devs: github.com/Helium314/openboard

It supports adding an external swipe type library, and sadly the only working one is the gboard one, that works like a charm however

It is not on fdroid (yet), so you can install it manually or using obtainium

ABasilPlant, (edited )

Worth pointing out that openboard doesn’t support gesture typing. The fork I believe @tubbadu is talking about is:

github.com/erkserkserks/…/v1.4.5-gesture-typing

I use this one.

Cheesus, in Do you think Jon Stewart should run for president of the United States?

No, he would only split the votes for Dems and give Trump an easy win

AshMan85,

Op did not specify this election

Cheesus,

He didn’t specify what election, so I specified this one

AshMan85,

That’s not the way it works

turkalino,
@turkalino@lemmy.yachts avatar

Ah yes, the token argument that establishment Democrats use when a reasonable candidate who isn’t theirs comes along

Cheesus,

You think Biden running on the democratic ticket, trump on the republican, and Stewart on an independent ticket would have no impact on the election for Democrats?

chicken,

I would expect him to run against Biden in the democratic primary and not pursue the office as an independent if he lost, like Bernie did.

turkalino,
@turkalino@lemmy.yachts avatar

Not what I’m saying at all. I’m fully aware that the “fringe candidate” would “steal” votes from the establishment candidate, but honestly? I’d take another Trump presidency if it actually lit a fire under the Democratic Party’s ass and got them to start endorsing candidates who voters actually want, rather than minimally focusing on being the lesser of two evils. The Republican Party deserves all the shit they get, but you gotta hand it to them, at least they’re backing candidates that their voters actually want.
