It is a thing, but most controlled studies haven’t found pitbulls to be inherently more aggressive than other breeds, just more dangerous if they happen to attack.
Isn't that the issue? From what I've heard, the big issue isn't just that they attack, but they lock on and it's hard to get them to release their target. Like, a small dog can absolutely bite you, but will it kill you? Is it going to rip a limb off? If you give it a good hit, is it still going to be holding on for dear life? You say other dogs just "weren't bred to latch on and shred things with their jaws like pit bills were." That sounds an awful lot like a dog that was bred to be aggressive or, at the very least, cause maximum damage when triggered. That's something that needs to be considered when adopting or breeding a pet that's supposed to not just be around people, but in the home.
I want him to fall into the pits of hell, but before he does, his scorched, cheeto dust fingers breech the surface one last time to curl around Vance's pant leg, dragging him down with him.
I don't think it's wrong for you to want a relationship with your dad, but it is weird that you kind of brush over the cheating. Your father had an affair, does that not affect you? You don't even look at him a little different? Do you not understand why your mom is lashing out or why she's as hurt as she is? Again, I do not think her request is reasonable, but this woman, from what I'm getting from the post, was cheated on, publicly enough that it was a big scandal, lost her husband, her home, and her son. While everyone is having a great time with the mistress, she's seemingly alone with no one in her corner telling her how what she went through was hurtful and offering her some comfort. You're like, "he's my best friend, so I don't really care, him cheating on my mother didn't change anything to me, it's not like he cheated on me."
Relationships are complicated. I don't know what your relationship with your mom is, but if she wasn't abusive and you do have some affection for her (even if she isn't your best friend), I would talk to her. Both of you should explain how you're feeling. Maybe she wants you with her because she thinks you like being around her as much as she likes being around you, maybe she thinks you two are closer than you actually are, or maybe she's nuts and is making one final attempt to control. But your mom as seemingly lost everything important to her by putting her foot down against cheating while everyone is like, "finally, she's gone. Just swap her out with a younger version." I don't know a lot of people who wouldn't be hurt by that.
I thought about that, but I feel like she's too scary? Like, i would be worried for the Muppets. And I like the idea of this one guy playing it completely straight, terrified of this demon and it's, like, gonzo or something.
I'm just so clumsy, I need the protection. I personally like my phone naked (it's a pretty green 💚), but clear covers are usually flimsy so it's covered for safety. I can't afford a new phone, and cracks irritate me too much. 😔
Main character in the Twisted Ones. She left that story as ignorant as she started. I know little about the twisted ones. Why can you get pregnant with a rock? What is the other half, since the children still seem cobbled together? Is it a ritual? What's the source of this power, and what's the purpose of it? Just seems like a bunch of bones and a lady, why go through this? How come Conrad alludes to being extremely old and no one cares or investigates who or what he is? Conrad said he crossed the sea to get to the current location, so how are all these paths connected? Are there portals everywhere? What triggers the shift, or is it one central location? Why was the grandma able to keep them back? What happened to the green book, and if it was so important that Conrad was trying to write it from memory, what was supposed to be in that book? Why did Conrad become one of those things and how does that even work? How do you keep memories when you change forms? WHY DIDN'T SHE BRING ANYTHING TO THE FINAL FIGHT EXPECT THE DAMN DOG!?
It jsut feels like she went to clean up the house, crazy stuff happened, and she just left. Didn't really seemed like she changed or was affected.
Someone already wrote a really good answer, but using the money to help fund programs would be a start. Maybe make a safe place where they can hang out that doesn't offend you (not you specifically, just in general). If possible, I would even try and talk with them, become neighbors instead of enimies. While tackling homelessness would take a system wide change, I think sometimes just not adding to the problem and shame is the best we can do.
And I get it, I've had homeless people scream at me, see them urinate outside, not everything humans do is pleasant, and I also wouldn't want all of that right in front of my business. But, at least in this example, there is a ton of empty space, the building itself is mostly empty. Come together and make the rest of the unused property a shelter. That parking lot behind them alone was gigantic and I don't think I saw any cars there, why not let them have part of the parking lot? It just seems easier to be kind and try to work with them than set up a sound system to keep the entire neighborhood up.
"Are you going to help them? Use the money to help anyone, or maybe take this moment to highlight people in need?"
"The fuck? No, I'm going to make their lives worse for having the audacity to be poor and seeking shelter. How dare they ruin my view with their homelessness."
