There is literally no person in an actual college relationship that wants to be with someone and bone that would give 2 shits about their circumstances or surroundings when it came to inviting them over. She just doesn't want to see him. As a freshmen I lived in a 2 person per room dorms and everyone worked out a way to have their bae over, she just doesn't want that. I straight up don't get the point of defending her.

Like yeah the dude is a clingy weiner and we should all laugh, he comes across as desperate and potentially controlling but she's no catch either.

Yeah forward the calls to your personal phone that they can't track, then keep the work phone powered down or at home in a drawer or something so you can check emails or whatever if someone calls you about and says "look at the email I sent you about the emergency problem" or whatever. Then you are reachable but don't have a tracking device on you. Easy peasy.

How likely is it for a dog to do this to only one person if that person ins't abusing it? How can you have enough of an "intimidating presence" to terrify your own pet just walking around the house?

Some dogs, especially shelter dogs, can just be really drat scared or hostile to one gender, depending on their past. I volunteer at the no-kill shelter in austin (the one that takes in hard to place dogs from the euthanasia list at other shelters) and lots of the dogs have handling notes saying they just start flipping out in the presence of one gender or certain people.

It is possible he is abusing it, but it is a shelter dog so it may just be super accustomed to being abused by men because of its past before they even got it, and submissively urinating because of that.

I had a case in bumfuck central Texas where a guy (who lived 50 miles away) was renting a house to some tenants, who eventually got tired of paying rent and decided, "Hey, here's a good idea: lets sue our landlord, claiming we own the house and that HE owes us rent!"

He never showed up because they served his papers by posting it to the door of the house he owned; the one THEY were living in. $10,000.00 judgment against him. It eventually got thrown out b/c defect in notice is grounds for throwing out a default judgment.

But, not before they filed bankruptcy in Mississippi, and listed the house as an asset (didn't tell him, or serve him), got a court order to liquidate, and then 'sold' the house themselves (no realtor) to this other family, and absconded with the down payment. My guy only finds out about all this because he drives down to do some repairs, and walks in on a family of people he'd never seen before.

This is why title insurance exists, but I am guessing this family is too dumb to get it.

Not at all, it is a really important skill to recognize when a principled stand will make a difference and when it won't.

Use "use my driveway because you sold yours without thinking about it" is absolutely not acceptable. Sometimes it costs money to make your dumb neighbors gently caress off, but having them driving on your property and potentially loving things up that you exclusively pay to maintain is not something a reasonable person is going to compromise on. What happens if they drive drunk and knock something over? They sold their own driveway so you obviously can't expect them to act responsibly. Absolutely not worth the risk.

Taking a leather purse that was a gift and damaging it for an instagram photo is top tier shithead behavior. If you are opposed to leather goods for animal rights reasons then sell the purse, that animal is already dead, and donate the money to something you care about. You just reduced demand for leather goods and made a donation in one go. Ripping it and coating it in tar for instagram likes is super childish.

if you’d actually read the article the PETA members knew who the dog belonged to as the owner of the house had met with them about some feral cats earlier in the week

apparently they lured the dog off the porch with treats

imagine being this person, the kind of person who would smugly say “GOOD” when they hear somebody stole someone’s pet solely to euthanize it

[/quote]

I did read the article, which is how i know that the dog owner knew they were in the neighborhood clearing out stray animals. If you know people are actively looking for stray animals in your neighborhood to euthanize them, you should not let your pet look like a stray, thats insanely irresponsible pet ownership.

I never said "good", but the dog owner showed a remarkable lack of foresight.

way to play devil's advocate for people who knowingly murdered somebody's dog for no reason

btw they were rounding up strays because the strays were attacking cattle, why in the gently caress would they round up a chihuahua?

pretty sure a chihuahua would collapse in a puddle of it's own piss if a cow got anywhere near it. i'm just not seeing a pack of chihuahuas taking down a cow. i mean, i'm seeing it in my head, and that's hilarious, but it's probably not a realistic scenario. these were people with an agenda and that agenda was relieving people of their pets

PETA were there with him 3 weeks ago to remove cats, they easily could have not remembered this was his dog, and the article doesn't even state that the workers who cleared out the cats three weeks earlier were the same workers that took the dog, you just don't know that they knowingly took someones dog to murder it, sorry, not from that article.

Seems to me like if he'd been a responsible dog owner and had a tag or tied up the dog, it would be fine, like his other dogs that weren't taken because they were tied up.

Also, if you think small dogs cant be aggressive because they're small, thats just wrong. No dog "took down" any cow, but the udders were bitten, which sounds exactly like something a small dog thats not contained or tied up could easily do.

I find that drinking just exaggerates the feelings you have going into it.

If you are drinking with friends because it is friday night fun time, its gonna be a good happy drunk. If you are drinking at thanksgiving while angry at your boyfriend for cheating on you, it is going to be an unhappy drunk (even if you are dead wrong about the facts).

That woman sounds like someone who drinks when she is feeling angry or sad and thats no fun to be around. Deal with your sadness while sober and drink only when it is time for fun.

Sorta, but it also exaggerates and changes feelings. Alcoholism is associated with an irrational sense of persecution. Thats not just your inner self coming out, thats the alcohol affecting how you process feelings and events. Alcoholics are going to think and feel things that a sober person would reject. That doesn’t mean thats what they “actually” feel, it means that they aren’t able to rationally process feelings and emotions when they’re drunk.

Four years later as a Journeyman Ironworker, he was making more money, had better benefits, and is happier than just about all of his peers the same age. With no student loan debt.

To be fair graduation without debt is what state universities could/should do but the administrators are all in a race to see who can build the biggest sunbathing waterslide swimming pool to put on their resume when they apply to an ivy and costs have gone up ridiculously in the last two decades.

because it's not true. growth in administrative costs has paralleled growth in expectations for what a university offers (I.e. a counseling office and a student health program) and increasing regulation (title ix enforcement requires the university to employ an office of lawyers, which is expensive).

really all issues with public higher education come from decreased state funding.

Fair enough if i am wrong. I just know i went to UT Austin in 2000-2005 and it was $1500 per semester. It’s now roughly ten times that (and I think the large six inch deep sunbathing pool they built is kinda silly for a college gym).

I have donated for new engineering buildings and would happily direct more of the state budget to cover tuition if thats the solution. Since i have no kids i haven’t really been following what the state budget actually is wrt UT.
