I’d hold off until you actually feel comfortable handling a dog. You can volunteer at shelters or babysit a friend’s dog or something, but you’ll need to train your dog, and being afraid will make that a lot harder.

Training a dog is one part training yourself. Your dog will look to you for guidance, so it’s helpful for a professional trainer to show you how to communicate with your dog. There are private trainers, but the most affordable method is in a group with various other untrained dogs.

For one, you need proof. No reputable newspaper is going to report on “I heard that…” without anything to back it up.

Any reputable media will want to know how you know about this, and they’ll want to verify its accuracy.

Kids these days? I remember putting a IRC/Runescape combo program on a flash drive so I could play Runescape with my guild during computer class 20 years ago. I have no idea why it got around the network restrictions, but it did.

Edit: The after school computer club turned into a Wolfenstein LAN party after somebody got on the teacher’s account and put a pirated installer on the shared drive.

Fed is best.

If you can breastfeed, that’s fantastic! But don’t be ashamed if you’re struggling to produce milk, it’s quite common and you shouldn’t avoid formula out of fear. It’s far worse for a baby to go hungry!

Do you have a source? I was always told that Roman patriacians were allowed to marry 12yo girls, but most girls married at 16, and that puberty was around 14-16.

Worth a shot maybe?

Yeah, my house is completely linux except for one windows machine. I need to be able to open other people’s Adobe files for editing, and that’s just not reliable outside of windows/mac.

But, if I was only working on my stuff and didn’t have to integrate into outside workflows, I wouldn’t be so adverse to switching to GIMP or Krita.

It’s a toss up. Either it’s going to be a fun time, or you’re gonna accidentally overdo it and get sick. MIL was a og hippie, and she got sick after smoking again for the first time since Woodstock because everything is so much stronger than it used to be.

Pottyposting would help you avoid that awkward pp

I swear I saw this post yesterday

*holds up spork*

Imagine Spez’s reaction if he was forced to federate.

I say “thank you, I try” and blow them a flirty kiss.

Hey, burnt offerings were made to the gods of old, right?

Avocados aren’t supposed to be sweet. I can’t do dairy, so sometimes I’ll use avocado to get that creaminess I’m looking for, but my favorite way to eat them is in guacamole with some tortilla chips.

Honestly, Hatoful Boyfriend was far far better than I expected going in.

Yeah, I agree that the attempt to engage is the most important aspect. What actually constitutes “engagement” is up to semantic debate.

I do think that new arguments should be evaluated, even if it’s presented in bad faith. I feel that the bad faith nature of the argument is a factor that counts poorly in my evaluation, but it’s good to have a solid understanding of the nuance in your stance, even when it comes to the ridiculous.

But by your own admittance, you did think about it once the question was posed, so no, you’re not an intellectual nepobaby.

We have all had past experiences with how hard brick-adjacent substances affect teeth, so it’s not discarding it as a knee-jerk reaction. If you went to a dental college, and the professor made the claim before you knew better, I’d assume you’d be interested in finding out how he came to that conclusion, correct?

For example, should I engage in the “challenging idea” that the world is run by lizard people?

As a counterpoint, you likely have. You’re aware of the position, aware of the proposed evidence, and determined the evidence falls short of proof, which means you’ve engaged with their thinking before rejecting it.

I’m not going to show you my ID, but I can hold an extensive conversation with you about Gaia Online, which should prove my age quite well.
