Here is their follow up hit that never saw success in North America

Rednex - Old Pop in an Oak

I started up a few communities to help with the migration as well. Check my profile for the links. I've started one for gifs, today I learned, Shiba Inu, and a few others.

I'm able to not only understand, but empathize with the OP. I don't like cats and I'd never own one. I completely understand where they're coming from. I was simply challenging their preconceived notion that all dogs (or cats) fit in one box.

Sounds like you're painting all dogs with a brush dipped in your experiences. I can completely understand that. I also don't like those situations. They stress me out and make for an uncomfortable visit. I've had my backpack destroyed by a Frenchie, slobber on my clothes from a great Dane, conversations interrupted by a Yorkie, and staffie that just made me nervous.

At the same time, I grew up with a Shiba Inu, and I now have my own Shiba. He's quiet, never begs, requires very little of me, and lays down quietly when guests are over. He loves people and is incredibly protective. It took quite a bit of training and patience, but I'm extremely proud of the good boy he's turned into.

Yes, I love my dog and I'm not expecting you to, but I am asking you to be open minded to different experiences. There are good and bad owners while there are also compatible dog breeds. If aomwone has a border collie in an apartment, it will destroy everything. Same could be said for a Pomeranian that's understimulated.

I respect your opinion and hope that you can one day see the good side of dogs and the companionship they bring into people's lives. While it may not be something in your story, for others it may be a necessary part of their day.

I suspect there's something else potentially going on. I'm not a therapist, so I can't offer advice, but I can share experiences.

I had a partner at one point that would jump to conclusions without context. She would assume I had done things that I had not, and blame me for it. Later in life, I learned that she had been projecting her insecurities on me. This may have been the easier route compared to dealing with the root causes.

Dealing with those root causes would have been incredibly painful and would require some serious reevaluation of her value structure and decision making. That's not a journey for the lighthearted.

My partner refused to go to therapy, and I think that was a mistake. I've been seeing a therapist for almost a year now and it's the best thing I could have done.

I hope my story helps you in some way.

I went from 15 years of lurking to making several communities and modding a couple others. This is definitely the most I've ever been engaged in online communications. I love it!

I awarded you a little blue arrow for your bravery. May you continue to inspire others!

Good point. It was nice to identify the posts right away when scrolling through, but the crossposting argument is valid.

There are quite a few posts already on TIL@lemmy.ml using this convention though. Given the larger use base in that instance, I'd be concerned about a majority tending with convention.

I'd suggest starting a new post here and gathering some feedback. I'm game to break traditional values if that's where we want to go.

Heya! I'd be interested! I've been running Plex on my NAS for about 3 years now, and I love it!

That's a fantastic resource! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!

Be the change...
