I mean you definitely messed up here, you went to meet the dog, sounds like the dog didnt even attack it might have done a lunge to play and you misinterpreted it and just attacked. As everyones said its very rare for a golden retriever to just attack like that. Also if you were feeling anxious and thought it was a pitbull, why would you approach especially if it was off lead and you had another small dog. I think you've got to learn from this and weigh up the potential danger in future situations, i dont think youll go to jail, maybe get a fine or community service but i would also try and make amends with your neighbors because they and their dog, havent really done anything wrong here

@BlessedLion I think its kind of like how humans are attracted to sugar, it tastes so good to us because we would get it in very limited quantities in nomadic, tribal days. Now its abundant and capitalism has used it to sell us more and more, manipulating our natural attraction for it but of course leading to numerous health problems. This is the same with sex, previously it would only be members of our tribe that we ever see or maybe a few outsiders, now we can see any type of girl we want naked at anytime and we're programmed for this to be extremely exciting for us, essentially for the purpose of procreating. This is and always has been exploited by the sex industry. The difference now is the delivery method is easy to make and very easy to consume. Capitalism is ruthless, it doesnt care about the well being of the consumers. I think its potentially a step up from pimps or porn studios exploiting women but yes men are being fully manipulated. Theres even a funnel of having a little scroll on instagram, you maybe hover over an incredibly beautiful latina girls picture, you then get bombarded with that girl and other similar in increasingly more revealing images. You look at one of their profiles, you see they have an only fans thats only $5 for the first month, you sign up and start engaging and get addicted to seeing her new image and videos everyday. Its basically a one sided relationship that you pay for. But you can see the tactics to lure guys in. @Princess Arabia can defend it as she does but in my mind theres no doubt its a manipulation, there are many businesses that are manipulations btw. But with this i think men lose a lot more than just the money. I think women also lose a bit of humanity as well, they basically become con artists in a way, theres a lot of pretending going on. I also think theres a quite toxic thing people do where they blame people that get scammed, its like with Tate where his fans blame the girls that he got to do sex work, or blame the guys that he convinced were gonna meet the girls and gave him 10s of 1000s. The whole point of a scam is to fool you into doing something, it doesnt mean youre not responsible as you have to take responsibility and learn from it but you were fooled into doing it, usually by big promises or selling a dream.

We all know what's been happening since Trump took office and it seems to be going toward a total takeover from Trump, his loyalists and these billionaire tech owners as well as the project 25 Christian autocrats. It feels like he's putting all the pieces together or someone behind the scenes is using him to put the pieces together. What is the end game with this, will America essentially become a dictatorship? How will that affect the rest of the world. Mt feeling I that Trump is essentially for sale, which is why Israel are happy with him, why project 25 are happy and of course the billionaires. I'm not sure he has any super vision aside from getting as much power as possible and then auctioning off to the highest bidder to get access to it. I feel quite worried about it in a way I've never really felt before. We learn about dictatorships and how they happened in the past and I always assumed we as humans esp in the western world would never go down that road again, yet here we are. We know this doesn't work and leads to pain and suffering yet we bumble down the road anyway. I understand why it's happening in terms of the media landscape etc but are people worried as well? What can we even do to stem this or is it case of just let the cycle play out?

They did say those things and the cases were thrown out of court, Trump didn't accept it and still doesn't that's the whole point, he phoned them trying to get them to 'find' votes, before he had any type of evidence. He convinced his followers of all of this, that is the problem.

According to court case that went to the supreme court he does indeed have criminal immunity for acts as the president "Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. 593 (2024), is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court determined that presidential immunity from criminal prosecution presumptively extends to all of a president's "official acts" – with absolute immunity for official acts within an exclusive presidential authority that Congress cannot regulate such as the pardon, command of the military, execution of laws, or control of the executive branch. The case extends from an ongoing federal case to determine whether then-President Donald Trump and others engaged in election interference during the 2020 election, including events during the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. It is the first time a case concerning criminal prosecution for alleged official acts of a president was brought before the Supreme Court." For one he was claiming it was rigged before the election even took place. Second it wouldn't be for the side saying it wasn't rigged to provide evidence, they're not making a claim, if he's saying it's rigged he would have to have evidence, which he didn't have as proven in multiple court cases, including against Fox news paying nearly 800 million to voting company for lying about election fraud. If I make a claim that you're a pedophile and have absolutely no evidence, it's not for you to.even defend it, I have to present evidence or get sued and possibly prosecuted for defamation. If the people Jan 6th thought it was rigged that would've been directly from Trump, there is no other reason they would've thought that. Trump had no evidence esp not before the election. So he has instigated the events, at best its incredibly irresponsible, at worst it's a treasonous attack on democracy for him to stay in power

No i disagree, one point you might be right on is the criminal case hasnt gone to court yet and he hasnt been found guilty... yet. But in this case where there is overwhelming evidence, I think it would make sense to postpone the election until the result of the court case, not delay it so that he can still run. Whats also troubling is now hes basically granted immunity for anything he does in the future while in office, meaning in theory he could do the same thing and not even be prosecuted for it. I have no problem with any leader saying the election was rigged, the issue is you have to have actual evidence, Trump had no evidence and this was proven countless times in various court cases. The fact that he even started talking about the election being rigged months before the election even took place, should tip you off that this was a calculated measure to stay in power by creating doubt about the election. If the roles were reversed I'd 100% say the same thing, no one who illegally tries to subvert a democratic election should be allowed to run, especially when its done through violence. I dont think you can have a functioning country where people can just attempt to overthrow a government and there not be any consequences, to me thats crazy

He didn't 'hear' there was fraud, he'd been saying for months before that if he loses it would be because of fraud, basically priming his audience to believe that it was stolen even before the result. There was no evidence for it as was proven in multiple court cases. His intention was to delay the certification of the presidency so he could hold on to power and use the fake electors to overturn the result. It's the first time ever the certification has even been delayed. The facts are as well if the rioters had got hold of the politicians they definitely could've hurt them, they were literally shouting to 'hang Mike pence'. Also while all this was going on Trump just watched it and didn't tell anyone to leave despite pleading from even his kids to call them off. All of this is completely treasonous and it's come full circle because he's pardoned everyone involved, why are people that attacked police allowed to walk free? I thought blue lives matter? This isn't rage bait, these are all facts, if this happened anywhere else I would condemn it as well. If this ever happened in the UK I'd probably fight back myself. Imo you're biased toward trump and making excuses whilst trying to look objective, to wave away Jan 6th like it was nothing just doesn't make sense to me. At the very least someone involved in that should not be allowed to run for president again but yet here we are. But listen I'm not gonna go back and forth with you, if you believe all this is fine that's your opinion. I'm sure there are lots of great Republican people, I have nothing against them, but I disagree that people like Trump care about anything but enriching themselves at the expense of other people.

@Hojo I was an analogy, I was making the point you can't just get anyone and they should be qualified, but I agree I don't think a country should be run as a company. However it may be the case in the future, even now China is kinda run like a company and is very successful. Tbh Trumps presidency is run more like a mafia, his main criteria for recruiting to positions of power is loyalty to him, while also working on ways to enrich himself. If he was doing at as a stage orange company that's one thing but he's running a stage red operation.

I mean I get your point but also not really, in most businesses you'd want someone who'd always worked in that field to be promoted within the field. For example if you had an IT company and wanted to appoint a ceo you'd want someone who either worked in IT all their working life and rose through the ranks or someone who had been a ceo at other similar companies, you wouldn't just airdrop in someone with no experience in the field but happens to be famous, like you would t really want the Rock. It might fun and exciting but I don't think it would help your business. President is a job that the public vote for but being qualified for it is extremely important, but the public is not educated on what makes a good president then theoretically they could vote for anyone.

That is what's happened though and it literally happens all the time in developing nations sometimes to catastrophic results, Rwanda, Uganda, Nigeria, basically many nations in africa, south America and Asia have been plundered due to this type of corruption. America, everyone thought had guard rails on this, however this guard rails are really being tested by trump and Co. I thought they were strong enough, but as I said Jan 6th surprised me how close that was to really subverting the government. It's not done in the western world because it's hard to get that much support for a candidate that is capable of that, Trump is quite a unique character, I can't remember the last time or if there's ever been a time, someone like him has been president, in terms of a complete outsider, celebrity etc. I've heard this before but you're strawmanning me, I'm not saying he would necessarily assassinate anyone, but even this phone call is highly illegal and against the democratic process, what's worse is that he got away with it. If he keeps getting away with things like this who's to say what else he would try? Also this just happened to be recorded, I'm sure there's other things that are much worse that weren't. I'm not saying he rigged or would rig an election necessarily, we can just look at what he actually did which was the fake electorate plan, which was an attempt to subvert the democratic process in attempt to keep him in power after he's been voted out. This is the behaviour of someone with no respect for the democratic process. You're going to the absolute extreme of assassination or imprisoning opponents, he can't really do that in America because of the nature of the country but he's still trying to get to goal of having as much power as possible over the government in underhanded ways. So the intention imo is there, based on previous actions and current t actions, the only question for me is 'is it possible', I appreciate you're saying it's not but I'm just not sure it's so clear cut

I'm not American

Dictator may be a bit heavy but it would be more akin to Putins autocratic leadership. Rich people will welcome this if they get to be part of the oligarchy, (as happened in Russia) this enriches them even further as long as they go along with the leader, we're already seeing this with Zuckerberg and Bezos bending the knee to Trump, where they wouldn't have before. The people 'want it' because of distraction tactics. They're voting because of inflation or dei or trans issues, the oligarchy stuff is being pushed in the back door, no one would vote for it directly but they would vote for the other stuff. They've also done a great job at demonising the dems. The senators votes is fair enough within a democracy but remember Putin dissolved all these guard rails and has been in power for decades at this point. It's a different situation but there are definitely similarities

Obviously I didn't believe him, but I don't know about voters. The point I was making though is that he knows it looks bad which is why didn't admit it. Which suggests that he could go as far as necessary down this road. It's still early and the outcome of things like tariffs haven't taken effect. Most people just want their stuff to be cheaper. Also an approval rating doesn't mean that he is not a rising dictator, I'm sure Hitler was very popular even before he went to war. Essentially take over and the US become an authoritarian, facist country. The thing is we don't know how strong the guard rails are, they got tested to the max on Jan 6th and in fact he very nearly broke them, save for things like Mike Pence not doing what Trump wanted him to do, that situation could've got a lot worse.

No Trump distanced himself from Project 2025 numerous times and said he wasnt anything to do with it, he called some of the proposals "ridiculous and abysmal". He knew that if he said he was fully behind it, he would lose votes because people dont actually want a dictator, maga might because they idealise him, but he wouldnt get a moderate voter and also people would most likely realise what they were voting for or against. So this is not the will of the people this is a lie. Now he is in power project 2025 is taking shape and thats why people who voted for him are regretting their vote. It's not surprising that a politician would lie of course but this situation feels like voters have been scammed, especially considering Musks involvement, RFK being bought off etc, there was a lot of shady business done.

This is the thing i find scary like theyre actually trying to do it, the only question is can the guardrails hold them and hold on to democracy? Definitely but I feel like the public are not even aware of how theyre being manipulated. Social media, how its being used in a political sense is possibly one of the most powerful mind control and propaganda delivery systems that the world has ever seen. Imagine in Nazi germany all they probably had was leaflets and posters as well as Hitlers speeches and that worked, let alone constant media consumption on a handlheld device that can literally work out what will trigger you. Its actually insane, I dont think anyone was ready for it honestly.

To context what I'm gonna say I have had a bit of a shitty month so mood isn't great, not depressed or anything just not feeling upbeat. I've always had this feeling of not really wanting to settle down, if I'm honest I am an aviodant attachment style. I've tried to work on this amongst other and there has been progress, the main issue though is not trusting a woman to take care of me emotionally. This is obviously to do with my mum who definitely didn't do that and so I've always been very independent. I like having a woman be there and be someone you can talk to, do stuff with, have sex etc and I also like helping them with whatever, whether it's just being empathetic and giving advice or anything really. But I feel like I also really want my space, I also like meeting new people and I hate the feeling of being tied down. Because of this I keep getting in a cycle of getting attached to someone but not fully commiting, then either I realise it can't work or they get bored of no progress and it ends but I always feel terrible at the end. I've recently had this thought of like how the fuck do I just pick one and then that's it? I'm not saying I want multiple partners necessarily as that would be the same thing but more complicated, but I find it hard getting my head around just being with one person forever. I don't know if I'm weird because of this. My ex has just got with someone else and it is honestly such a shit feeling but I can't say anything because I either didn't commit or stayed with her way too long when I knew there were issues. So it's on me completely but still just feels crazy. Anyway kinda rambling but any input would be nice

Interesting, thanks for sharing man, if I'm ever in Toronto I'll give you a shout 👊🏾

OK got you, would you consider a monogamous relationship or are you set on the poly life? I think poly can be difficult, I wonder if it's something people just try for a while and then end up going monogamous if someone they really like comes along. I would be curious to maybe have 3 or so concurrent relationships but I honestly don't think it's that sustainable, it's often hard just having a normal relationship let alone 3+.

Just out of curiosity, are you living a poly life, what does that entail and how many partners do you have?

8 would be a bit extreme for me personally, but I do get your points on the evolving nature of relationships. Thinking about it though, I feel like there are a lot of unhappy relationships either because people who are not really fit for a relationship feel like they have to get in one or because simply it's the wrong person. People don't want to be alone and we've set an ideal in society of what a relationship should look like but it doesn't leave room for those that don't fit into those boxes. It will be interesting going forward and seeing how relationships change. Personally I think I will just date and see what happens and if someone comes along where I'm like 'this makes sense to me to be with this person monogamously' then I would definitely do that. I want to free myself of expectations in dating or even not limiting myself because I don't want to get to close.

What do you think 'healthy sex' without all the trauma and low self esteem looks like?

Lol ill take that compliment bro, thank you, add me up on insta https://www.instagram.com/biyid?igsh=MWwzdzB2MmZsejVlbw==

What about this one because its worked a couple times for me, you're vibing with each other and you can tell she's attracted to you and you are to her, then you whisper in her ear something like 'I want you now', can even be more explicit. This I can't stress enough takes a lot of being able to read cues, but basically it's a leap forward of the sexual tension because now the unspoken has been spoken but also it's like you and hers little secret.

Haha I literally haven't slept with a girl that didn't like getting choked or having their hair pulled, it's usually just the degree of forcefulness
