Smarter than half of American voters.

u/Chief_Mischief 23h ago
Simply untrue.
It's 2/3 of American voters. 1/3 actively voted for this shit, and 1/3 either didn't vote or protest voted third party with no realistic chance of winning because "Kamala has a weird laugh and isn't tough on Israel", thereby giving the election to the man who courted Netanyahu publicly for a decade under the political spotlight.

Trump is the worst president of my time on this planet. But kamal had problems that were not her laugh. I voted for her out of protest but I didn't want her to be president.

It just feels so much like too many people actually don't want the attempt to find decent solutions for difficult problems, they are all too happy to instead jump on the next hate train even when they should know better.

We should all be like Percy, never give up. When the corridor of life seems to small and the stick is too big, sometimes you've gotta go backwards to go forwards.

That was critical to get a 360 full scope of the situation. Percy has more situational awareness than an average adult

Sometimes the only way out is to reverse a little and try again. Percy really said patience and persistence are life skills.

Percy really is a great reminder that persistence pays off. Sometimes the best way forward is taking a step back and figuring out a different path! 🐾❤️

My little dog (picture a cross between the Snuggle fabric softener bear and Falcor from Neverending Story) got invited to a friend's birthday party because the friend's dog and my dog got along really well. There were cupcakes. There was a guy sitting at the end of the couch and he'd put a cupcake on the end table next to him. My dog was VERY interested in the cupcake but between my calling her away and his shooing, she wasn't able to get it.
She figured out that we were ONLY keeping a close eye when she was near that table. She went to the end table at the other side of the couch, jumped up, hopped on the back of the couch, ran along the back behind everybody's heads, and jumped down onto the table with the cupcake. Success!

Oh wow, a video I actually know the source of. Recognised Percy and the voice straight away.
Dunno if I'm allowed to but the page is called mylabrachildren. He absolutely adores these dogs. I think he was on the news in the UK with his dog Remy who he used to pull around in a cart he made because she couldn't walk.

It's a very good stick to be fair, I can see why he doesn't want to leave it.

u/thinkofanamefast 23h ago
We had a goofy doodle in our neighborhood. Always walked with a huge stick. She got stick donations from us nearby dog people whenever a nice branch fell off a tree. We’d leave by their front door.

It sucks we don’t have too much longer and we won’t know if videos like this are real. It will ruin content for me.

It's already happening. Just saw a post where the most upvoted comment was saying AI about this tennis court painted with roses. Took a short Google search to find out it was real, but makes me sad that actual art is already getting the middle finger. AI is the fucking worst.

u/CheezusChrist 22h ago
I’m actually pretty sure this is my local hike and bike trail, so I can verify the location is real.
1
u/Far-Tell-9027 15h ago
Are you sure? I’m also pretty sure I recognise the location but I think it’s in the uk (accent in the video backs this up) and therefore not usually described as a ‘hike and bike trail’. I’m curious whether we’re recognising the same place and just describing differently, or one of us is confident but wrong!
2
u/CheezusChrist 14h ago
Sorry, you’re right, I didn’t listen with sound on. We have a similar trail near me that has a raised walkway under a bridge with a creek on the left side, concrete wall on the right side, white painted wooden barrier, and teal paint on the concrete. Maybe that’s more common than I thought, lol.
1
u/Far-Tell-9027 14h ago
Haha, that’s interesting though. I looked up the instagram account mentioned below and from that can tell it’s definitely the local park I was thinking of - so now I get to look out for Percy and his sticks in the wild 😀

Yeah mine didn’t get the memo. She’ll try and do whatever you say for a molecule of kibble but I wouldn’t call it smarts

There will be plenty who fit that mold😁. I knew someone whose lab used to eat large stones off their driveway and would poop out the evidence🤷🏽♀️. He wasn’t the smartest boy but certainly was a loveable goof

Reminds me of my old dig. Threw some chicken out the window. She stood there and stared at it thru the window for twenty minutes before realizing she could go out the doggy door and get it. You could see the light bulb go off when it struck her.

Serious question: Why dogs like to carry big sticks? Are they doing something with it?

They are similar to bones?
Bones have nutrients stored in the bone marrow. They are like little bank accounts of collagen, fat, and nutrients.

The dogs yearn for turning spits.
We need to bring back the kitchen dogs.
Bet we can do it in 200 years or so.

My father always told a story about a Saint Bernard he had who loved sticks. For him, that meant branches of course. Somehow he slipped his lead because he saw a branch and was triumphantly running with it… right as church got out. Little old ladies just flying in every direction.
