You might get differing answers due to the payment portion of the scenario, but here’s my 2 cents.
No, there’s nothing morally wrong here at any level to me. This is legally ok as far as the ages go, pretty much everywhere.
As long as there’s no power dynamic being abused, and both sides are consenting, go for it.
There’s an entire instance for such things, though I don’t know what more is there beyond mostly porn. Lemmynsfw.com
Yeah, professional training can be really helpful. Especially if they’re interactive with you as well so that you learn how to train while the dog is being trained. Imo a training course is only as good as the owner will be after, if that makes sense.
One thing I read once and applied to my last dog and my friend has done with his: use as the hand gesture for sit bringing both your hands up to your chest, like kids do when afraid. Dogs tend to respond to visual commands as much as or more than vocal. This way if someone is scared of the dog and makes that scared gesture, the dog will (in my experience in most cases) sit.
And in general, consistency is the most important thing. In the end, teach your dog whatever commands you want with whatever cues you want, but consistency is the key across the board. This includes initially how anyone interacts with your dog during the initial training phases, if possible. This helps reinforce the specific training you’re doing and that not just you should be able issue commands
Uh, yes? Good, bad, or otherwise, always has been.
Oh thank you for this. I’ve seen the lockdown but I never really looked into what it does. Not that I am one to frequently be in a position where I’m concerned about being forced to thumb my phone, but it’s nice to know. Even being a middle aged white dude, one never really knows when you might be perceived as having looked at a jack boot the wrong way.
Right? Deja vu, I remember the last time Ticketmaster got “in trouble”. Wash, rinse, repeat
I had a dog when I caught it that first July, so I kept walking her. I obv kept wide of people but still walked my dog and got plenty of sunlight. I don’t know what’s real and what isn’t as far as what’s going to help with reducing the intensity of this things but im glad I kept getting exercise and vitamin D, and I’m also glad Paxlovid is out there for people who catch it now. Rest, fluids, the med, and still getting a little sunlight and low intensity exercise would be my 100% non medical professional recommendation.
Where do you live that this is real?
I mean, you said it yourself and I went and checked. On March 7, there was a us embassy alert to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours. Wouldn’t be much to check it out before executing and replan.

Edited to add: I Guess I didn’t really address the point specifically about not studying and struggling with the tests. That was me the entirety of my education, from the first grades I can remember all the way through my 8.5 years of college with 2 degrees. I just didn’t care, especially when the homework itself wasn’t graded. I’m not sure how to help on that point specifically, other than to say that you’re not alone, and I made it with similar issues.
It’s really difficult to stay motivated for as long as we’re in education. Do you know where your current standing is specifically in those two courses? Could you go to those two professors and voice what you’re facing and see if there’s any recommendations they can provide you?
It’s ok to fail. We don’t want that to be our normal state but it’s ok. It’s ok to be tired and struggling with motivation. A big part of learning is learning how to adapt to new situations and not just learning a particular topic. College is about both and then some.
What year are you in? Some of those early courses are meant to get you to the next step, and some (it’s been a while for me, maybe it isn’t this way anymore) seemed like they were intentionally designed to get people to quit. Weed out courses, so to say.
One of those weed out courses I went through was a huge attendance first level physics course that it seemed like nobody was doing well. About 1/4 dropped it over time to avoid the failing grade.
In the end, the professor did a flat full 2 grade “curve” for everyone that stuck it out. I don’t think his intent was to teach, I think it was to break those who would be willing to drop. I don’t like the concept of those courses, and I don’t even know if they exist anymore, but that’s also something to consider if the ones you’re failing in have that kind of feeling to them.
Keep trying, you’re not a failure just because you’ve failed at something, and sometimes this is part of life. You’ve got this.
No more or less than today really.
It’s very possible it’s not sleep apnea, but it isn’t something that you necessarily know is impacting you. It’s not about hours of sleep, it’s about the quality of sleep and blood oxygen levels due to breathing interruptions.
My sleep study said I had something like 70 “interruptions per hour”, which means I’d stop breathing, my body woke me up just enough to breathe, then fell back asleep, only to do it all over again a little more than once every minute.
Do you snore, possibly excessively? Get drowsy and have to fight nodding off while driving? Do meetings send you to a seemingly impossible fight with staying awake?
Much of your description describes me before I had a sleep study that diagnosed me with sleep apnea. I’ve been using a CPAP for almost a decade now and it was a life changer and possibly saver.
I’m not a medical professional, so take this as you will; I would recommend talking to your healthcare providers and see if a sleep study might be in your interest.

Do you know me? I feel like you’re talking about me.
And you’re not expected to do half the laundry, the dishes, and still pay a cleaning fee.
I really like both the Jungle Bird and Artichoke Hold served on crushed ice as tiki drinks.
The Jungle Bird
Artichoke Hold:
Same as above, shake on ice and strain onto crushed ice.
I prefer its big sibling the Boulevardier.
Express an orange peel over and garnish with it
Fuck, I wish I was paid to fuck around on 3rd tier social networks spreading bullshit. I’ve been doing it for free this whole time!
Electric vehicle designed with extra difficult to break windows traps driver when submerged in water. Seems pretty straight forward to me. I get that it’s tempting to think something nefarious and suspicious is happening, but I’ll take poor planning and lack of thought around safety almost every time.
I think you’ve got part of it right from my recollection and experiences, but not quite the full thing. I think Obama’s success actually lead shitty people to lash out more, which brought trump to power, which emboldened those shitty people to stop hiding it and actually be proud and display it. I think the racism and shittiness was always there but people kept more of a lid on it. We just aren’t able to pretend it isn’t who we are more broadly anymore.
