Ah, I made the mistake of reporting with an alt what is clearly a deluge of either bad faith bullshit or straight propaganda, and got these posts hidden from me for me. Powers that be seem to want this type of content unchallenged.

My aunt made a point of tuning into these sort of things when she was with my Trump voting grandmother. Listening and watching what a train wreck he is without the right-wing media filter I think was what ended up turning her into a Biden voter in 2020. I don't know if my aunt would have gotten through to her if she didn't have the debates and pressers to work with.

I'm rural and had a dog ol'yellered once—he loved kids, tolerated women, and would do his very best to rip the throat out of any man. I understand that sometimes the dog can simply not be allowed to go on. But man, I can't wrap my head around expecting a shock collar to work as training, and then calling it a day after it attacks some chickens. A young dog with a prey drive might not be suited for working, but could easily be somebody's pet. It would have cost so little to give it a chance to have a good life.

The pigment bit in the colored pencil has a waxy base that will build up and jam/get stuck in the sharpener. Graphite doesn't. It can be used as a lubricant in some ~~non sexy~~ situations.
