  1. It's not nothing, so I'm going to walk back my judgmental tone. The way you did is a very traditional way of picking a dog. Go to the shop or pound, sit in a play pen or small room and play with the dog for a while, and then bring it home. It can still be done this way, and sometimes it's the only option available, but you're getting a very, very incomplete picture of the dog. 2 years ago, we added a "Bruno" to our family (2 kids and a lab) too. He was the 4th dog we met over the period of about 2 months. We saw each of the dogs at a variety of locations and brought the kids and the dog every time. Each tryout involved us (like you) spending some time with the dog first while ours sat in the house/car. 1 of the dogs didn't make it past this point, but all others did great. For those dogs we then introduced our dog in a neutral setting and took both on a walk together. We lost another dog from consideration during this step. For each of the 2 dogs that past the first two steps, we then released them with our dog in a contained area alone together. 1 of the dogs, that had done great up until that point, instantly turned aggressive. The other, "Bruno", played with Chester for over an hour and took their rests laying together. After a week of processing the dog with the rescue and agreeing to terms (which included the process for returning the dog if it didn't work out), we bought Bruno into our family. It worked out. This was the day we brought him home to stay. There were still some problems and surprises (he was a bolter with the door open and liked to counter surf), but we were pretty damn assured that he was going to fit. You're not bad people, you just miss your dog and got over your skis trying to replace it. It's a beautiful dog, and I'm sure a local doberman rescue will be happy to find it a new home. If, however, you're up for a challenge, hire a behavioral specialist immediately.
  2. What would you be saying to someone who started a post bitching about a roofer they hired without doing any due diligence? Find a rescue.
  3. None. Just had the 2 minute warning
  4. It is his actual superpower. Really.
  5. The fuck you talking about Dinesh? Oh, got it. So the "major announcement" that he told us he'd deliver at 11:00 today, wasn't actually the video he posted today at 11:00 under the header "major announcement." Instead, the true announcement was the sneaky launch of his BBFSOREISP initiative. I have to admit, it has a nice ring to it.
  6. This is actually pretty in line with the rest of his grift. I think the big difference in this case is the teaser he gave yesterday. He and the MAGA machine have spent the past few years convincing these people that their way of life is in serious and imminent peril- like real deal fall of humanity stuff. So, he teases an announcement and they think that he's going to do something serious and imminent to address the issues he has them so scared about.
  7. Who here is on Truth Social? I need some screen shots of reactions from his true believers.
  8. It looks like they photoshopped his head on a picture of Obama!
  9. It's worth a trip to the website. https://collecttrumpcards.com/ He's essentially tied the "cards" into a raffle for things like individual/group zoom calls, dinner with 45 in Miami, and a cocktail party at Mar A Lago. Of course he's not going to do any of those things, but that's what he's doing.
  10. Well, to be fair. He's been in the NFT scam game for a while through his wife.
  11. "The corrupt, disloyal, and unthankful Republican party doesn't deserve me. I'm running as an independent!" I can dream, anyway.
  12. The Boo storm occurred on his home turf in San Francisco by a crowd who, as evidenced by their very presence there, isn't overly sensitive to trans criticism. His subsequent tweet makes it pretty clear that his combination of a need for admiration and total lack of self awareness is causing him to spiral in real time.
  13. And for that tweet, he gets this:
  14. More context for those not following closely: https://www.tmz.com/2022/12/09/world-cup-soccer-reporter-grant-wahl-dead-48-after-detainment-lgbtq-shirt/
  15. One of them is autistic and immediately released. Maybe he's 11.
  16. 11 who entered Fridley city sewer system charged with trespassing https://www.startribune.com/fridley-police-arrest-11-for-trespassing-in-city-sewer-system/600233468/
  17. Is it not possible that we're effectively getting Griner back simply by converting the Merchant's 25 year American sentence to a Russian death sentence?
  18. Here are mine as a child, teen, and college student (the Datsun was gray though).
  19. I made it 10 minutes in. Horrible. It feels like it should have been on the CW, between Smallville and One Tree Hill. Acting is atrocious. The script is on the level of a self produced high school play. The incontinuity between accents is extremely distracting as well. I ended up just rewatching the movie.
  20. It's a few years old, but this suggests he'll do at least some time for it. https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/quick-facts/Child_Pornography_FY19.pdf
  21. A lot of schools around here take a hit in those rankings because of the disparity between the haves and have-nots. Public schools in Minneapolis and St Paul proper are hit or miss (mostly miss), but there are some very good districts in the metro. Mostly the west metro (Wayzata, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Orono). Other good ones include Edina, Mounds View (mine, though I send my kids private), and Mahtomedi. Like I said, we've opted (for reasons beyond just academic) for private school, and there are a lot of good options there.
