I got that, your story-telling was fine, no worries. I’ll admit, I was sort of just making a non-sequitur based on your off-handed aside in my commentary there. ✌

That you were lucky in the temperament of your neighbor’s dog doesn’t change the reality that having a pet that can and does regularly escape enclosure is bad pet ownership. You could have just have likely lost that draw and ended up with a problematic animal that wasn’t properly secured, but thankfully you didn’t. It sounds like the shepherd is a great animal; my condemnation was not direct at all towards the dog, just the dog owner.

The shepherd can jump the fence if he wants
Sounds like bad dog ownership overall tbh, and definitely the kind of wound worth checking out for possible infection

Yeah there were definitely more permanent or sophisticated solutions, but these were cheap and easy and allowed people with one player to play the other type without any of those more sophisticated solutions, and thus they were plentiful enough to become a visual icon of the scene.

Yes, 45 RPM players had wider pegs and smaller plates and were designed for playing 7" 45 RPM singles. The adapter allows a 7" 45 with the wider peg to be played on a standard size LP plate, assuming the player had a 45 RPM play speed setting (most players eventually included 33/45/78 speed; from what I understand it’s really only the very oldest or specialty players that didn’t).

That has nothing to do with the topic of whatever “semen retention” is. Also nice puritanical values you’ve got there, very 1640 of you 👉👉

If it’s real it should be very easy to produce peer-reviewed results showing that conclusion.
Unless such evidence is presented, believing “semen retention” is anything is about as founded as believing in crystals or astrology.

For the same reason people pretend to not like the word moist.
Humans are desperate for connection and will attach to even meaningless pop culture trends in an attempt to belong to an in-group.

Like how exactly are y’all expecting people to react to this? Y’all know you live in the real world with actual people, not Looney Tunes with a bunch of exaggerated cartoon characters, right?

I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs, even bonded with an liked a few. Still a very distinctly different feeling than human affection for me, and still doesn’t help me understand for the uncanny glee people get at the mere sight of a dog. 🤷♂️ I don’t know if I’m broken, but this seems to be something that’s just outside my understanding
- Comment on Labcoat! 2 months ago:
I do occasionally find people cute. But I don’t fawn over every person I see as if I’ve never seen a cute person before. This does not match my experience with the current cultural evaluation of dogs.
And maybe this is the crux of the issue, but I just don’t find human babies and dogs even remotely comparable. I have countless lifetimes worth of conditioning inside me compelling me to love, admire, protect human young; innate feelings and instincts on human babies written into my very DNA. Dogs are an animal.
I do sometimes find dogs cute, just like I sometimes find squirrels, lemurs, sloths, whatever cute, but it’s not an automatic response and it certainly doesn’t ever bring me to point of elation that seeing literally any random ass dog seems to bring so many others. I’m not even trying to suggest any judgement, if anything I’m just lamenting something that for my entire lifetime I have not been able to relate to or understand in my peers, which makes me feel somehow lacking, I guess.

No hate intended, I promise, but I will never understand why people react to seeing any dog as if it were their first time seeing a dog. I’m glad we have them, and I’m so grateful for service animals in particular, I just don’t understand the hyper-fixation.
