What's a proper response to another dog attempting to mount your dog multiple times and the owner really not doing anything about it?

The owner kind of makes a weak attempt to seem like they’re trying, but if I weren’t there, they wouldn’t intervene at all. I’m asking because I want to make sure that I don’t over react next time.

meco03211,

If at least one of them is fixed, at worst it’s just a show of dominance. The bigger concern is for the dog humping. Those shows of dominance can lead to aggressive reactions from some dogs. If your dog isn’t the type to react aggressively, it’s not a big problem outside of any social awkwardness. The problem would be if that dog humped another that really didn’t want it. Then there could be a fight. So it’s in the owners best interest to discourage that behavior lest they hump the wrong dog.

All that said, even if your dog isn’t the type to react and you just don’t want another dog humping your dog, you should be fine taking some action. Either avoid the other dog or if that’s not possible keep between your dog and the humper. Even physically holding the other dog away from yours should be fine. If the other owner takes offense to this, you can explain that you don’t want their dog humping yours. At this point, they’ll either concede and try to do better, remove their dog from the situation, or devolve into full Karen. Up to you how to handle that.

Fun fact. Clocks used to have a limit at 2 hours (unsure if it’s still that way). If you snoozed for 2 hours after the original alarm, it stopped alarming altogether. Ask me how I know.

Can you buy another brand and do a quick test yourself? Then just return if it doesn’t. I imagine it’s just emitting some emf and any receiver can pick up signals. Depending on how sensitive stuff is, it might need to be tuned to certain frequencies.

Lack of research into THC is wholly due to moral panic. Weed was criminalized and legislated into the ground preventing it from being researched (not eligible for research grants or normal funding).

I can easily say it helped with my anxiety. So one anecdotal data point in support.

meco03211,

Have a lot of this myself. THC and Adderall have helped me immensely.

Or, “take on some/all of my tasks without consideration for your current workload and with no additional compensation.”

Nostalgia person here. Resubbed for classic tbc. Blizzard fixed fucked around and did stupid shit. I canceled and joined a private server.

In the US just peer through the crack between the door and the wall. Ensure solid eye contact with the current occupant. Determine how much time they’ve left. Adjust plan accordingly.

With reddit having way more people and being only a casual browser, I would never make it early enough to a post to contribute in a meaningful way. Whatever I would have said would be commented dozens of times before I got to the thread. At best my comment wasn’t made yet, but I’d be sure someone with more knowledge on the subject would’ve contributed in greater depth soon.

Here I see plenty of posts hours old with no comments. There’s a greater chance whatever I might say won’t get buried or overshadowed.

Protip. If the apocalypse begins at a punctuated point (bombs literally dropping on major powers as opposed to say global warming), fill your bathtub with water. That can hold a lot of water and should help you out.

meco03211,

it would depend on luck for the first few days

I hate when people try to brag that they’d easily survive the apocalypse cause they’ve prepped, or hoarded, or trained, or whatever. Like bitch if you’re in the first city to be bombed or patient zero, you dead.

meco03211,

Perhaps I worded it poorly. I quoted you qualifying your success with the necessity for luck. I was applauding the affirmation that even with plenty of skills and preparedness, some things are out of our hands.

No doubt there would be people that had no business surviving but make it on pure luck and the goodwill of others. Though luck favors the prepared.
